Grrrrrr.
I wonder what the best way to report this scam to eBay?

 

There is a "Report Item" link on every auction.
I would attach a link here, but I can't since i don't have 4 messages here yet.

 

Thanks Igor.
I've never reported one before, but I encourage everyone to report anything by Elite elitewheeldeal*com on eBay

 

I have copied their ads - like your quote above, and re-posted with a big "BEWARE- RIPOFF" in my area.
(This was an issue unrelated to Prius batteries.)
After 3 months of this - weekly - there were no more ads.

 

Did the same on my prius 2005 with 215k @ the time and battery went out here in San Jose CA my battery was also replaced with a 09 model prius don't know if that's true or not but hey guy did it for $500 bucks and took my old battery pretty much from what I understand is they fix the bad cells of the battery that is bad, however the battery that was bad in my vehicle he took and gave me a different battery most likely was bad at one point and replaced the cell. Mine had 2 cells bad but now I have 224k and still going strong, my theory is if I go 100k on this battery hell I def got my money worth especially if I am doing anywhere between 25-30k miles per year.

 

elite auto?

 

I don't work for him I got tired of him lying to customers so I'm working for my self

 

Too bad Elite damaged Owensville name so badly.

 

I like helping customers if battery fails within the warranty they should be taken care of

 

I posted my sucessful traction battery swap on gen 1 forum (last post): "experience with xvipers?" Well xvipers apparently is no longer, but my battery is going strong 7 years later.

 

nice little car though, and i wonder if it is really costing you more when you take in the tco.
