Try to consider vehicles whose models have been made in very high unit volumes over a period of at least 3 years so parts will be easily available.

That criteria will eliminate Land Rover, and possibly Porsche.

It should leave the low end BMW and the Lexus / Toyota.

I once worked with someone who had a standard, popular model Volvo. His car was in the shop for 3 weeks - all of it spent waiting for a U-joint - not the most exotic part in a car, and subject to replacement about every 100 k miles.

With the coming worldwide economic difficulties, it is easy to imagine a Porsche parts supplier or dealer either going BK or cutting inventory to zero.
