My current OEM battery is about 4yrs old and winter is coming. I can get a aftermarket one, type 95r w/ 950 CCA, vented for about $128.
Is this a good price? I think OEM is >$200. tks

I would definitely go to Autozone for a duralast battery. They sell them and back them second to none other.

Interstate MTP-H9 ftw!

Did you see this thread?

I'm in the same boat as the OP, four-year old OEM battery. I probably should start shopping around too.

+1 Interstate!!

No Pep Boys in my area to purchase the Bosch. Interstate and Duralast (Autozone) are good options. I have had Autozone replace my Duralast free of charge weeks short of 3 yrs in use. They have treated me well.

mine is the original from 03/2002. I guess I better start looking around too...

Anyone have trouble buying the Interstate one? I went to an Interstate dealer and they couldn't get their hands on the MTP-H9. It doesn't show on the Interstate site either.

When I bought my battery in 08, my local Interstate dealer had one on hand! I thought for sure, they would have to special order one. Always call ahead just in case they have to order one in but get the price first! It is a rare size of a battery and a monster at that.

many threads on this but sinced you asked Autozone

To answer the OP question, it is a good price from what I priced out this summer in my local area.

I'm not an owner, but I'd recommend checking out Walmart.

Usually you are talking about $80-90 for an excellent battery (Made by Johnson Controls) with a phenomenal warranty, and since Walmarts are everywhere....

I just picked one up for my 99 Boxster after my interstate failed within 2 years of purchase (it was my fathers and I don't feel like dealing with the warranty with his lack of receipt).

Edit: The Interstate battery failed because it was fully drained about 15 times due to electrical issues. I don't blame interstate.
