C-Mc Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 So if I did get a 2013 for cheap and replace the battery it might be worth it I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jestevens Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 (edited) I've only heard of like one battery pack that has seriously failed so far. . Having said that if the car is 10 years old and has say 150k mi on it you might need to expect to spend at least $5k within the next 5 years to replace the pack. There are some Prius cars with 10+ years and at least 200k mi that failing but those packs are NiMH .. the C-MAX was one of the first hybrids to use lithium ion packs so it's still a bit of a guess as to how long they will last. Batteries kept in the same environment as humans will last longer. Battery sitting outside in the AZ sun or used as a taxi, not so much ..
