agree with u about forums for most part, though i think there are some exceptions. Trouble w/ some of the exceptions is that there tend to be some very argumentative types, or just ppl who feel the need to fiddle with parts/systems that really should not be fiddled with bcuz of age of the part/system etc on not fresh cars (part of this is sometimes just the general mechanical principle that, literally, there are specific risks to each repair that is done, albeit usually very very small. I call this a problem w/ overly enthusiastic, 'fan-boy/man' type ppl, of which i was certainly one myself long ago. But yeah i have gotten very good info on forums, including basically helping me avoid cars that are too difficult own where i live, which is in the U.S. The other problem w/ some forums is that the 'enthusiast' aspect also creates an impression of decent-sized markets for particular models, that lure guys into wanting a car/model bcuz it's special in some way or rare in some way. But in reality the mkt is simply so niche or costly to own, that a forum is required to make it more rational to deal with such a car, that either is not well understood by mechanics shops, or other factors.
