Advanced auto parts said I need to replace my car battery on my Ford Focus but they want 159$..?

Question

It’s a 2001 model...should I look elsewhere?

Answer 1

That's an effed up price. Get a $50 Walmart battery for your 16 year old Ford if you think you'll have it another 2 years. Before you buy a battery, check the charging system fuse. When they blow, the charge cannot get from the alternator to the battery. Bad fuse- change it, charge the battery and go on your merry way with $159 still in your pocket. Excuse me, the fuse will cost you $1. Last Interstate battery i bought on sale at Firestone for $65 lasted me 6 years. With the trade war going on now, batteries are going to cost a lot more than they're worth for a while.

Answer 2

That's not bad installed.

Answer 3

Good price

Answer 4

You can, but $159 seems about right

Answer 5

You can try Fleet Farm or Walmart. Advance does carry good batteries and installs them for free.
Don't go to Batteries Plus they are too expensive.

Answer 6

Shop around. You SHOULD be able to find a less expensive battery.

Answer 7

Used batteries work good

Answer 8

Seems high. Shop around, especially Wal Mart

Answer 9

No. they will install it for free.

Answer 10
