I don't fully agree, as the only expensive item is the SMG clutches and you can buy an manual. No cam belts, so the servicing is just th usual oil change and check over. The rest would be on warranty.
Labour rates would of course be a little higher than a Nissan, but you would be surprised just how cheap they are to keep.
But Tim was talking about an old one so no warranty.........
I think you would have to be very brave to buy one of these without some sort of warranty or be prepared to set light to it when it goes pop
