looking at a 2003 T6. Are parts really more expensive (some people tell me no).
Is the engine/tranny more difficult to work on? Can't see why they would be .
I prefer American cars (GM) as they're simpler and basically as reliable as anything else, in my experience anyway (overwhelmingly). No funky little c ontraptions generally, like "Electronic Load Sensors" as in my mother's Hon da. Leave me alone w/all that. But I do like Volvos. This one is cheap and has a "winding noise" when you try to start it (haven't started it myself y et). 1500$. Wondering what the worst damage would be if it were the engine or tranny. Seller claims timing may be off. Some of these cars seem to norm ally make "winding" or "whining" noises until they warm up. TIA.
