It's more the potential for disaster, you know?
For example, service parts for my Dad's BMW are no more expensive than for any other car, nor are your normal perishable suspension bits. The difference is when his blew the turbo it cost over £1000 in parts and labour, and that's a BMW over 10 years old at a reasonably priced indy garage. I could swap my engine twice over for that!
Basically I don't want a 2 grand car that'll be a total loss if there's a non-service issue with it.
