and they love them since they make lots of money on them, but not a one would actually own one.
Have heard that some v6's are just flat worn out at 80K, regardless of maintenance. All indicators are that it's just not a very durable engine. Surprising too, if you have ever seen one, they look really stout, gorgeous castings.
Every indy I know in SoCal advises customers to stay away from V6's if shopping for a used one.
