well I reckon thats crap
the trans is a take forever job as you you have to take half the car apart
trans remove/install

and batteries are noticeably more expensive as a lot of gen IIs are nearing 200k and demand is up. If there are $100 batteries out there, then like this car its a wreck Gen II batteries -- a worrisome trend | PriusChat
