The questions are:
1. Do you get a pre-doom warning - only for a very few!
2. Are preemptive repairs available and economical -yes for a few -including the gearbox pop-out and the cooling tubes.
3. Are the preemptive repairs worth it vs. the value of the car - only if the price you pay reflects the probability of needing the repair. If you overheat the engine for example and need way more than just the coolant tubes 'done' , you'll be way up-side-down and very unhappy.
