If you know where to go you can get a battery for not much more than $100 (had one in my Supra and it worked fine). Depends what you want it for. I can get you a Yellowtop Optima for about $300. That's basically the best battery you can get. Will last ~10 years.

Please be careful with such statements because fact is, they might not last 4 years.

Depends on how they are used, if they are left to fully discharge etc.

I killed a Oddessy in less than 2yrs due to the car going to/from workshops and not being charged often enough and running flat about 5-6 times in that period. Wish i had've known letting it run flat so few times would have done that... But live and learn

So its very much subjective to use.

Oops, didn't think when I posted that. It can last 10 years. Either way, it will last longer than your typical run-of-the-mill battery. I think they're a great investment.

I fell asleep in my ZX with the stereo on. Woke up the next morning and it turned over without a problem!

Have done similar with the opposite outcome, now me thinks this not a bad idea...

in my case id have been better of with a cheap battery as it wouldn't have suffered as bad :(

you don't wanna fall asleep and near flatten them too much cause that's how my oddsy died basically :(

Yeah, on GTST it's bit easier cos you don't have to remove strut brace and a steel panel between battery tray and boot trim in GTR boot (which GTST doesn't have this bit).

    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
    • Oh man what a deal.... Funny enough (well not really) I sold a car to some old dude (buying for his Daughter) on a Saturday, He asked if she could take the car now and pay me the money on Monday as the bank wasn't open. Needless to say I told them to come back with the cash or get f**ked! Luckily the money seemed to magically appear in his pocket a few minutes later, so it all ended well (for me).
