The catalog price on the main battery replacement part is $5,638.57. Toyota charged me $1,409.64 for the part, resulting in a total repair cost of $1,886.00 plus tax. It's listed on the invoice as "GOOD WILL WARRANTY." According to my service rep, the discount was approved at a level above that of the dealer.

Good Q, jason
The irony may be that as Hybrids become more common and larger part of market share, the overall prices may drop but with increased demand the 'discounts' and enticements may even out? So maybe a future $3.5k fix after 100k miles (post- Prius warranty at least)? I'd still have to go this as feasible - as long as the cars are $20k-$30k.
