Ease of fixing and servicing something yourself your interested in buying is a selling point.

One step further I guess. you look for grease fittings on stuff your interested in buying, now much rarer, never was a big fan of sealed bearings. And never had to replace a u joint that had grease fittings that were actually used on it.

I have, especially on my '91 Dakota.. It was quite a discussion a while back... everyone told me that the reason the tiny u-joints didn't get greased properly was because the driveshaft was bad.
