Parts are not a problem.

Yeah, follow Nev to that website.

I'd steer clear of the 2.4L. Other than that the only real issue to note is keeping them cool. And, if you're buying one that has been here a while it's hard to tell if it has been cooked a few times or not. The rebuilds are big $ like any diesel.
