Only thing that scares me about a DP is the unexpected repair costs while on the road. I read on this forum a bit ago that someone was looking at $4K for a water pump repair? I can get a whole gasser engine for that price. Same for the trans if you had to replace. DP rebuild, forget about it ( $20K? ). I guess it all boils down to what you can afford to fix, if the need arises. Me, I got a el cheapo gasser thats really old but was well taken care of. But, I still couldnt afford a major brake down while on the road.
