My dad gets salvage title insights off ebay for $2000-$4000 and rebuilds them into pretty much new cars. Its great! He did ours for a total of $4500 and it has had no problems for 2 years. Today my husband called and said the IMA light is on. I called him about it and he said the main battery is going bad. His went bad last year and it cost him $3000 to replace it and he did the labor himself! Does anyone have any idea what it would cost at the dealership? We moved from Tennessee to San Diego so Dad can't help anymore. Im thinking about buying a new car. What do you guys think?

I would first take the car to a shop.The cost of finding out what is wrong and they should give you a quote of the repair cost. And then I would way the cost of buying a new car.
The cost of finding out what is wrong should be about
$80-$125.

I think you should fly your dad out to California for a visit! Ask him for a little help in fixing your car and show him the sites in San Diego!
