Disagree with Scotty Kilmer,..he irritates me when he says on a couple of occasions that V8 starters were expensive and hard to change. I've never changed one but just by looking at it I don't see a problem. And a thousand dolllars every 250,000 miles wouldn't bother me too much. A starter can be in a much worse place,..Your opinion?

Wouldn't say its location makes it an easy-to-do task

It's easier than a lot of other cars.......including common ones like the CRV and can be done without any special tools or even a jack. His video was funny since many car would be in the grave by then, the one were he complained about the SC430 was stupid since it was at 800k miles and only then needed O2s
