Funnily it worked.
I like Mark in Baltimore's approach the best.

My first three years of ownership was expensive, but I just took it in for the yearly oil change and checkup, and not only did the dealership spring for the oil change, he could find nothing to "fix". Life is good.

I can see it now...let's say 20 years out, we can start a Rennlist Group living in the Poor House. We can all say, we ran our run full tilt boogie....we spent the $ while we could enjoy it, probably passed on those cruises to the Caribbean!

Maint. has been next to nothing for me. Mods, on the other hand have been killing me. Until last month, I had spend well under $500 on the 993 in the last two years, aside from tires. Now some maint. and repair stuff is starting to eat me up and will get my average to way over $1200 per year for the four years I've had her.
