This is going to be an adventure, 2002 first generation...Wish me luck. (The learning curve is quite steep.) Bought it as a local commuter car.
Some of these have gone over 500,000 miles; many way over 300,000 on the first batteries.
I am surprised - my lap top batteries don't last that well.

I do wish you luck =>

If you learn any good battery related tips (such as where iwrock gets $150 battery packs from) please let us know. I'm seriously considering making my W123 into a hybrid!
