5 speed or CVT? Sounds high to me, but details like whether the battery has ever been replaced etc would help.

The search function on this site can be very useful (upper left corner of the page). Here is the most important result: http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthrea...ems-18892.html

Not enough information but I would never pay that for one so old the battery warranty had expired. I probably wouldn't pay that for an 06 Model the last year they were made.

There would be one year left on the battery warranty on an 06.

I agree with Old Mech: wouldn't pay that unless the pack was under warranty.

Seems pricey and that battery needs a warranty or it should be much less.
