Negative Battery Cable / Terminal

[Makelo]

Guys,
whats so special about the negative battery terminal on our Previas?
I'm in need of replacing mine but the dumb dealer will only sale me the positive terminal not the negative? For that I will need to purchase the entire cable for $400 plus a little part that goes to the fuse link box
can I just go to any Napa store and buy the terminal that I need?
Ir do I need to replace the entire negative cable?

Yeah, Toyota is weird about these battery cables. I believe the negative & positive are sold bundled together and I would never consider paying their ridiculous prices on these. If you can fix it with a Napa terminal end, then that might be the way to go. If it's something that needs to be spliced or crimped, then I would suggest an automotive electrical place. They should have the wire & crimpers to make you up & install a custom cable or repair what's there. Good luck. Tim

$400... wow. that is ridiculous!
What makes them different?

you think that's bad? how about $875 for the starter/battery cable for the canadian 93?
US ones are cheaper due to thinner wires, and S/C version even less
