When I got my new/replacment battery back 2.5 years ago Honda told me it's a new one. I'm now pretty sure it was new because I never ever had a problem with it since its install and all subpacks are well balanced (within 0.05 V). $2000 or £1800 are the price I've paid for mine as well. It's well worth it.
Mark Dixon has written in this month's Octane magazine (September p171) that 'the price [for replacement battery pack] has now come down and a brand new pack costs about £1740 including VAT.'
Mark has now had a replacement battery fitted at 'Honda's technical centre near Heathrow' for 'roughly £1900'. You can read about it (3 pictures too!) in Octane April 2013 (p151 for WHS browsers).
He also notes his mileage is 178,000 and lmpg 71.7.

Reason: Tryping errol
That must be the Honda centre located at Slough, how did he wangle that privilege instead of a Dealer?
That's where all the press cars get looked after, mine's got 2 or three stamps from them thanks to it's previous owner, who was the founder of EVO magazine. I'd like it to go back to them, but instead will have to find a good local (Midlands) Honda dealer. Anyone got any recommendations?
