last thing I'm worried about...

is the battery. I bought mine when the economy hit the terlet, when gas prices bottomed out, and found one that had everything I wanted. It had 82k, and I'm just over 116k problems. I've replaced only the items I've felt like replacing, stabilizer plate and the accessory battery. As far as I can tell, the car is doing exactly what it's supposed to be doing. Running without issue.

Past that, I get oil changes and tire rotations. Nothing else is pressing and I'm really not too worried about the main battery pack. I think while this article references a single car, it's not all that far off the likely normal expectancy. Many of the repair techs I've spoken with that I know personally, indicate these cars are relatively maintenance free.
