I am interested in purchasing the car listed above and there doesn't seem to be too much information online on wherever its reliable and affordable to repair or not.

Hi,

The vehicle is reliable. However, we have no idea how it was used and maintained for the first 124K miles, so you need to be careful.

As far as repairs are concerned, they are certainly going to be more expensive than a traditional vehicle. Additionally, many repair shops won't want to work on it simply due to the complexity of the vehicle. That can place you into the hands of specialists who usually have a much higher hourly labor rate.

Let me know if you have other questions.

Take care,

joe
