Watch: Car Owner Shocked to Learn Cost of a New Hybrid Battery More Than He Paid for Car $18,000 for the battery and another $2,000 to install

Old hybrid vehicles can come with massive bills when their batteries die, as an Arizona man recently found out.

Lucas Turner was driving his 2014 Infiniti hybrid when its check engine light made its annoying appearance on the scene, according to KPHO-TV.

Not good, but with fewer than 70,000 miles on the vehicle, he was not expecting the bill would be a whopper.

Wrong.

“They called me and said, ‘Oh, I’ve got bad news, Mr. Turner. You need a new hybrid battery and it’s going to cost $18,000 for the battery and another $2,000 to have it installed.’ And I’m like, ‘Oh my God.’ My jaw dropped,” Turner said.“I almost cried,” he said.
