Just crossed 63k, slave, front LCA's and strut mounts are getting done this weekend. So far this year over 1k miles it was a set of tires and an oil change. Been spending too much time and money on the new garage space.

This winter will be expensive with the planned motor drop/pinning/diff install and all that "while you are in there" stuff. I do all my own wrenching, even when it comes to rebuilding transmissions/motors from the enjoyment of wanting to know how every part works in the car/setup.

my revised annual maintenance costs for the 12.5k miles added since my last post in this this thread in in dec of '15.

so since tacking on another 12.5k miles ( now at 145k ) my only "repair" was a FP ( had to be done at a dealer as i was side of the road stranded so $1000.00 all in ) add to this 6 tires ( say maybe $2000.00? ) and add to this regular driveway maintenance ( coils/plugs/oil/trans oil/brake flush etc. ( another say $750 in miscellaneous parts/fluids etc ).

so since 12/15 about $3500.00 in basic operating costs with no major repairs lol and about 6 or 7 grand in gas

so about $10k +/- to run the car for a 21 months.

I've put approximately 9k miles + 4 AutoX events on mine in my first year of ownership (~47k miles now).

I DIY what I can (fluid changes, bleeding spoiler hydraulics, radio install, replace MAF, etc.), but entrust the experts with more major things. I really haven't had any major issues, but man, it sure does add up.

Tires: $1,800
(1 pair of rears, 1 full set incl. install)

Maintenance/fixes: $4,400
(general maintenance, alignment, fix torn CV boots, replace MAF, troubleshoot boost leak, fix minor issues like sunroof switch, new eBay front lip, etc.)

Upgrades: $1,200
(new radio, GT3 center console delete, replace wheel bolts w/ studs, Function-First SRS)

Total: ~$7,400

I'm hoping future costs will go down in a few areas since I had to sort a few items from when I bought the car, and I'm not really planning any more upgrades.

But with that said, I also still haven't had to do anything truly major, and still haven't addressed the coolant lines. And I don't see my tire habit subsiding any time soon.

Am not quite at 1 yr of ownership, put about 1k since purchasing (had 12.5k).The only issue encountered was a blown spoiler pump, 3 days after purchase, My incompetent Ct dealer decided to provide a replacement ram. Somehow they managed to incorrectly diagnose the pump?, The top literally popped off. Sent complete system for rebuild at a cost of $700. Misc cost to Change brake, trans fluids approx $150. Optional items new shifter, exhaust, Cobb approx $4k. All good, will do plugs/coils while car sleeps for the winter.
