How much should it cost to replace a Hybrid battery in a 2007 Toyota Camry? I can't find anyone locally who is Hybrid certified except for the local dealerships.
What is your question?
I took my 2007 Hybrid Camry to be diagnosed at the local Toyota dealer. The diagnostic codes indicated POA7F and POA80. They quoted me too much money to replace the hybrid batter plus they said it only had a 1-yr. warranty. My car has 86,500 miles. Do I have any other options since there is not a certified hybrid mechanic within 350+ miles of Destin, FL. I probably will keep the car for 1-2 more years.
How long has your 2007 Toyota Camry had this problem?
RepairPal Certified shops can diagnose and repair your 2007 Toyota Camry. They provide transparent pricing with a minimum 12-month or 12,000-mile warranty on repairs and services.
Hello,
The cost can be upwards of 5,000 dollars, but an independent shop should be much lower considering aftermarket batteries cost in the range of 1,500 dollars.
Your conundrum is that selling a hybrid with a bad battery is nearly impossible without taking a huge loss, but replacing the battery may not raise the value enough to cover the cost.
If I were to replace it, I would drive it for at least the 1-2 years specified or sell it immediately thereafter.
