I bought a Prius last year, 2009 UK specs. After 3 days got battery error, and i got the with the slogan “new hybrid battery”, khair. I sold it then in same condition with 1.5 lacs nuksan.
Now my cousin bought one 2011, he bought it from a showroom , the ex owner sold the prius to showroom guy and then my cousin bought it (all 4 days process) means the car was with the 1st owner before 4 days then we bought it. Both the showroom guy and car owner was cousins and my cousins best friends. They claimed each and everything 100% ok.
Long story short, after 5 days battery error.
My cousin now have changed some cells, because his battery cells got more voltage then the one availabke in market. So ended up changing some cells.
Now its been 1200+kms ALHAMDULILLAH no error at all. The avg was 12kms now gone upto 20kms +,-
Now he is confused to sell the car or to keep it.
