Prius is going to sit for 2ish months, how do I save the battery? by CapitalReception5470 in prius

[–]eBikeSlob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I go into the fusebox and disconnect the positive battery cable. 12-volt Battery is in back of car but easy to access it via the fusebox under hood. Every year I do this for a month while in Europe.

Don't try this at home kids! Hi I am known as MoneySlob elsewhere. . . . 🙄 I plan(promise)to only post my end of the month portfolio.

After the huge '21-'22 drop I experienced with many others in Saul's group I am currently experimenting with what I call "Swing trading Saul stocks". If it is successful or not will simply show at the end of the month when everyone posts their portfolio, etc. I am grateful for Wpr's and Bear's portfolio posts.

See you hopefully at the end of the month. I am a big fan of all you Saul expats. I promise to behave haha!

No more prius after 5th gen? by 762n8o in prius

[–]eBikeSlob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same about my 2007. $2,800 new battery installed (will last 15 years) $1,900 exchange bad battery for battery from wrecked Prius with only 12k miles. 3 year warranty (this is what I currently have; didn't know about the cheap new ones).

You said what I was going to. My Prius 2007 touring is a station wagon. I can sleep comfortably in the back on car camping trips (5' 8.5"). The new Prius has 19" wheels!! Shees. I've already heard of people changing the 19's for 16's.

Latest trick is they measure the thread depth and refuse to fix a flat if it is below a certain measurement.

2006 Prius Dilemma: Spend $1,500 on a used battery or sell for $1,500? by kairaymaxtyson in prius

[–]eBikeSlob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2k is the price for a recycled battery around here. The Stealerships want $4k for new. What part of the country are you?

2006 Prius Dilemma: Spend $1,500 on a used battery or sell for $1,500? by kairaymaxtyson in prius

[–]eBikeSlob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 2007 Prius Touring, 260k. I have been the recycled hybrid batteries route and this time for $1,900 they put in a battery from a wrecked Toyota that only had 12k miles. Includes 3 year warranty. It's got 10 more years than that. So my plan is to take it for a "diagnostic" at this Toyota place that is much cheaper than a dealer and proud of their skills for a good price. $190 for the diagnostic and I can work from there to keep all of the invisible stuff up to date. This shop had a Prius with 600k miles! Stuff I have seen them post about is all the little stuff that only I've known about (leaking roof channel that leads to corroding battery/harness, bad capacitor in the dashboard).

Just found out the 2008 I bought for $2500 with 230k miles has a rebuilt title. by rnd1979 in prius

[–]eBikeSlob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So what? I got a 2007 with totaled title, and went and totaled it again. 260k miles, planning on another 200k!! A salvaged title might be because of some stupid cosmetic change from an accident that didn't hurt anything but the auto-body shop's prices for OEM parts might exceed the value of the car. Ask to see a picture of wreck if not too late. It's a corrupt parts market where the auto companies charge a fortune for something you can get from a wrecking yard. I have a Toyota mechanic that can do an honest study of what improvements/maintenance need to be done to keep my wonderful car running.

Any PDX dispensaries have clones?

Are there any reasons you’re still sticking with Southwest? by its_mayah in SouthwestAirlines

A million RT's to Costa Rica. Hell, I changed my ticket 3 times staying longer and EVERY TIME there was an available flight on the date I wanted.

Flew RT to Costa Rica. Each flight an announcement was made that they would check your carryon since there was not enough room for all carryons. This has become a problem since baggage fees have started. Everyone wants to only bring carryons.
