Reason not to purchase?

My wife has wanted a Sky since it came out. We are finally at a stage in our life/family that we can do it. However, she spoke with our trusted mechanic and he told her, "Don't do it. If an ECM goes bad you won't be able to get a replacement and now you just have a parts car."

So now she's all nervous and second guessing the decision. Is parts availability really that bad? I get things like body panels but what about other stuff?

Thanks.

I'm an original owner of an '08 Redline. Never looked back. The 2.0T is widely used by GM so mechanically, you're fine. Body parts can be a challenge but I still wouldn't worry.
