Hi looking for your opinions please. 

Which vehicle would you choose from these 2 choices

a.)Ford Galaxy 2017 approx 12000 miles. TDCI engine so no wet belt. Powershift transmission. 

Or

b.) Ford Galaxy 2018 approx 11000 miles. 2.0 EcoBlue Engine, so I think has wet belt and has 8 speed Torque convertor automatic transmission 

?

    Buy them both and swap the transmissions.

    Then sell the one with the wet belt engine and the Powershift box to someone who doesn't know anything about cars.

    Do you know if the Galaxy or Smax Ecoblue have issues, all I can find is issues mainly with the Transit.

    Did they upgrade the belt material or something ?
