What does a Bosch battery for a 997.1 go for these days?

 

More than it's worth. Go get an Interstate or a Die Hard.

 

Ya next time I guess. Dealer is hosing me. Never was able to leave a high end dealer at a low cost....always have to stick it to ya.

 

I chose to buy a decent battery from a large national chain like a Wal Mart.
It came with a 4 year over the counter exchange.
I felt this was better because then if it fails, I can get a replacement anywhere in the country.
Usually specialty batteries mean specialty stores which aren't everywhere nor are they open at all hours.

 

I took it up the bunger because of my silly loyalty. I should have said no thanks and bought my own.

 

I ws goint to ask for a set of radio ***** and a hat but I have to eat next month.

 

I believe the OEM battery is Moll - here are some prices:

Bosch battery is $108 at pepboys, plus they have a $25 off coupon til tomorrow. Plus a $20 rebate, not sure if it stacks.

 

Come on.... the dealer charges 410.00.......I am trading it for a Civic.

 

Whoops, it's $20 off coupon. Still good deal.

 

Sorry for your pain...but after 600+ posts and the fact that batteries are discussed here all the time, surprised you weren't aware of less expensive alternatives - hope you at least got a 10% PCA discount.

 

I never read a battery post and was not told until an couple of hours ago while the car was in the shop that it needed a battery. If I had known I would have done the research. Had to make a decision on the spot when they called and I guess the screwed up. Not the first nor the last screw up either.

 

Sorry but forgot to mention that the AUDI battery is the same (save for the AUdi name on it) and it's half the price.

 

Most car batteries are manufactured by Johnson Controls Inc, including the batteries sold at Walmart, Sears, Autozone, and Advance Auto Parts. They also make Interstate batteries as well as many original equipment batteries. And, they own Optima batteries too.

 

I used to live in WI and many pals worked there so I know this. The dealer talked to me like they do young girls. He said if you use anything but a Bosch there won't be enough amperage and your alternator will go which cost 1200 to replace
