It’s a deal compared to 8k
I heard that. Back when the Prius was getting popular, gas prices were high(er), and people were making stupid rash decisions based on those gas prices, my wife kicked around the idea of getting a Prius. What put her off was when I told her truthfully that a battery change would cost $7000. That sure puts the f*** on any gas savings, doesn’t it? It kills me how people will allow themselves to just get slammed thousands and thousands of dollars taking a horrid deal on a car to save less than $10/week in gas. It’s an insane emotional decision, you’ll never recoup that money off gas savings. I’m sure glad my wife listened to reason.
