So you mean like every car company ? The parts are available for at least 15 years, they are making a bank on replacement compared to margins on new cars (pre-covid) Subarus are probably most plug and play but that's because they are small company that build same car for last 20 years... and not exactly super reliable. For example those [1] crazy bastards swapped whole manual gearbox and engine to a different model (that's auto-only) of Subaru and it even had pre-made holes for stuff that automatic gearbox car doesn't have in the first place, cos they used same subframe parts. * [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDcDpUaiwY4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDcDpUaiwY4

No, I mean a company that has generic enough parts for 20 years that a replacement part will be competitively priced and easy to replace. No more specialized tools, 2+ service hours to do a basic job, and all their service jobs have simple instructions with a video on how the customer can do it.. not put into some service manual that cost $400.
