but Rob's right. It all comes down to maintenance. The 2.3 in the 9-5 can require some care (beyond how some might treat a Honda or Toyota), but if you don't change the timing belt/pullies etc in a V6, you're also looking for trouble (before 150k!). Your shop guy's opinions sound dubious at best... but he's probably right about *that* car...
Search this bb for common problems to look for.
