vicfirth,

If you need help or opinion, you can consult with other Italian car owners at Italia Auto website.

if everybody is placing spare parts price as their utmost priority in choosing car, then everyone will drive a Proton.

For some people money is not an issue. The desire to be different is what makes some people choose not to follow mainstream trend. That's also why some people do modification on their ride -just to look different from other owner of the same model.

It is better to buy a car that you really love rather than a car that suppose to be cheap on parts/maintenance, because at least you can live with the problems associated with the car. Think about classic car owners. Their cars are not high performance as modern cars, and parts are really difficult to find and expensive. Resale value sometimes cannot cover all the restoration/maintenance cost. Somehow they took pride of their cars and love them very much.
