As I asked, what about the parts that are NOT drivetrain related? What happens when my gauge cluster fails and it needs a replacement and it is OUTSIDE warranty? Can I be sure that they will have that part or will I have to scrounge for it? Ford brought the XR4T1 across the pond from 85-89 and the Scorpio from 88-89. Support for it evaporated even back in 95. Oh, you want a trim piece because that one is broken? Nope. Obsoleted. Parts guy would joke with me and say "Obsolete. Now what are you looking for?". It takes more than drivetrain to keep a car going.
