One might argue that these cars are simple to work on so you would wonder why they wouldnt want to work on them.

I dont know compared to what...... like a pre 85 american car ( i could do a head replacement on a GM inline or V8 blindfolded.). Nobody i know wants to tackle a 616 617 head gasket job, most all wont attempt a timing chain job/oil chain job. then theres the $200 minimum tool for doing almost whatever---coilspring compressor for front end work......
