> [@cigroller](#): > > I have an '03 Toyota Prius (1st gen) with about 220K on it. It is on a reman HV battery pack, but even those are generally just refurbished from used OEM good cells to replace used failing ones. I’m knocking on wood as I type, but it’s been fine. I didn’t knock the wood hard enough, I guess. The little “snowflake” (as I named it b/c it’s a little white Prius) threw a P3006 code yesterday. All by itself, that’s the death knell for the hybrid pack. I could fix it. But enough already. It owes me nothing. I bought it for something like $2700 (call it $3K after taxes/title/tags) and drove it all over for like 8 yrs and 50K-ish miles at about 46 mpg. I’ll miss it tho. But it’s not worth it to me to fix it. It doesn’t change my initial comment. 20+ years of HV battery life. I’m on the market for another new-to-me, used “snowflake.” --- _[View the full topic](https://community.cartalk.com/t/just-a-little-frustrated/200389)._
