Not really the case here. Bluebook prices are not right.
Even the ones with bad batteries still fetch over $1,000.
How many old cars with blown engines fetch over $1,000?
There are now aftermarket prius batteries at much less cost, Dorman brand $1400, and expect that to get even cheaper when there is more competition.
