So they will slowly vanish off the marcket. Lego stopped selling Power Functions in 2020. I added some descriptions on how to dissamble and re-assammble the Ecto-1 in chunks, so it will be quick and painless for you.

I work with the original instruction and tell you, which steps to do differently (with detailed step by step instructions).

It took me a few days to figure that one out! Inside, the seat still looks the same (almost, LEGO made it two seats but in reality it's a bench so I 'corrected' that) and the car frame is stable, but now you can swap batteries from underneath. So I completely rebuilt the car frame and the front seat around the Battery.
