IMO it depends on what part of the country you reside...In good old NYS or N East no way, I currently drive a 170K Magnum that looks great but is starting to need more and more maintenance and because of environmental influences its becoming harder to simply remove parts. Additionally as previously mentioned age of vehicle is going to come into play. I have been noticing more and more that parts are not available, not because of the current situation ( no workers// transportation) but the mfg.’s have discontinued making them everything form Ball joints for older Chevy trucks to parts for my '05 Magnum. Seems like mfgs are depleting inventory then discontinuing the product.
I am considering similar option of buying older vehicls with low milage but future parts availability has me cautious.
