I Bought a Cheap Toyota Prius-- with a DEAD Hybrid battery

[dareelrca]

Bro I literally just bought a 2008 for $300 they thought the hybrid battery was dead but it was the regular battery. Score! Lol

Excellent presentation with humor to make it interesting.
My Prius is at 301, 000 miles, battery changed at 250k. Still getting 50+ in city and 45+ on mixed highway+ city driving.

I had a 2007 Prius, gave it to my son, who still drives it.
220, 000 miles and still gets 43 mph.
The best car I ever bought.
Never a SINGLE problem.
Best car ever made.

Just got my partner an 05 with 200k and a new battery pack. We’re IN LOVE! Super cheap fill ups and it’s a great road tripper.

I used to hate Prius and think they were ugly as hell, but we went on vacation to California and our friend let us borrow his for a week. At the end I ended up really liking the car, , it was very spacious and comfortable for the size of it, I was very surprised. Super quiet too

Tyler now has officially the biggest balls around the automotive youtube community for defending the Prius! Congrats to him.

Found a blue 2007 Prius that is loaded, everything checked for options. Owner says it won't run right, sells it to me for $500. $200 later with 10 hours of labor and it runs like new. A couple cells went bad is all. Car has 417K miles. Added an additional 19, 400 miles in 3 months of Lyft driving and it hasn't complained at all. Car was garage kept by an older couple, so it still looks brand new. A great find for such a reliable appliance.

Don't replace every cell, just the ones that have a much lower voltage than the rest in the pack. If they all measure at 7.4v but a couple measure
6.5v or such, replace those cells.

Love my 2002 Prius!!! We replaced that battery I. September 2017 when it had 350k miles on it. I am currently at 359k total mileage. Still getting 36mpg.

THANK YOU SOOOO
I do live in OC, in fact I live 3 miles away from Electron Automotive! I stopped by today and they totally hooked me up! My hybrid battery was dead, and my 12v battery was on her way out!

They changed both batteries for $1458!! I was so sad because I thought my car was totaled! Chris from Electron Automotive diagnosed my car for free and also checked my entire car to tell me if it was worth installing two new batteries!

Thank you so again. I’m so happy I came across your vid!!!

I thought I was the only one that loved the Prius.

I have owned and loved Priuses since the 2005 model and for the life of me, don’t understand why so many guys hate them. They are lightweight, so the combined 135 hp really makes them peppy, and the electric motor delivers all of its torque right off cracking of the throttle. It puzzled me so, I started asking all of my friends the question. The most definitive answer was from a young lady who quipped, “The reason that so many guys hate Priuses is because they fear that their peepees aren’t big enough!”

Suddenly, it all made sense!

Not sure how I got from LS 911 to Bentley to this, but I like it. Carry on sir.

Toyota is magic, they somehow make cars that just... Work, they last forever, it's insane. Totally understand why he respects the Prius.

This was my first Hoovie video I ever watched. I bought a 2007 Prius based on this review.
And it's been an awesome car and I'm so glad I took the risk.
It's saved me thousands over the years and other than a water pump it's only had regular maintenance.
There's a fair few minor issues with it. Most of which came with the car when I bought it.

I traded in my 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLA 250 for a 2021 Toyota Pius Hybrid on February 5, 2021, and I absolutely love it! I had been looking to get a Prius for over a year, and I am so glad that I got the opportunity to do it this year. I have subscribed and liked this video. I thought I was the only one who loved the Prius.

Damn this guy literally buys anything and comes out with unexpected results. I'm loving this channel.
What more is going to happen ?
Bring it on

[TheDanAge]

This makes you the ultimate car guy in my books, being a car guy means appreciating and understanding all cars even if it's a Lada

[JoesGoldenGarage]

Thanks for doing this hooves I have been so tempted to buy one at auction but did not know what to do once I got it now I'm going to buy them all

[chriscybulski]

Chris Fix will fix it for you for only $1500

I own a Zo6 and a Prius. No joke I pick the Prius 95% of the time. Thank you for allowing me to come out of the Prius closet.
