It's not reliability the mechanic is picking older cars for. It's the ability to work on it themselves.

Most people would be paying more to have somebody work on an older car over and over again because the parts aren't made anymore.

Yup, as I replied to other guy, newer vehicles are intentionally difficult to service is the main issue

I disagree. Newer vehicles have more parts for a variety of beneficial reasons.
