I found an Insight locally that is quite appealing to me. I am going to go check it out tomorrow, but in the meantime, I am trying to gather information on things I should be looking for.

One big concern for me is that it has 150,000 miles, not from the engine or body standpoint, but from the battery standpoint. I am assured that the battery is holding a full charge, but I am just worried about replacing them. What kind of life do they have? If it does go on me, are there other places (than dealerships) to get the packs for a more reasonable price? Can I rebuild the packs (some sort of manual on how to)? It seems that everything on the car is in good enough condition, there is just no record (ever) of the battery being replaced.

Is it possible to get a good Insight repair manual? I would prefer to do the majority of the work myself if possible.

Are there other things I should be looking for when we go check it out?

Thanks in advance.
