This is my daily driver in Detroit, MI. I bought her 2.5 years ago with 38k miles and I just rolled 100k last week!
I’ve spent about $9k on normal maintenance over that time. 2-3 sets of tires, 2 sets of brakes, 2 sets of plugs, 6 oil changes and a belt. I just encountered my first issue outside of the regular maintenance. My passenger mirror stopped working and is clicking continuously when I unlock the car. I’m thinking it’s just the motor, an easy, inexpensive fix. Anyone else with the same or similar mirror issue?
Just bought it in Oregon and drove down to Colorado. Had most service records . On the PPI could not verify the drive belt replace or plugs or PDK clutch oil . But might have been done . Not all Indy's will show all the maintenance. I went ahead and did those to be safer driving home . What a machine just wow!!!

I know the tires are expensive but $9k for regular maintenance seems high for 2.5 years.

Not really. That’s over 60,000 miles of driving. Tires and balancing are $1,100 x 3. Plugs $500 x 2. $100 for oil changes x 6. Brakes $1,000 x 2, more if rotors are needed. Belt - unknown. But that adds up to $7k, and could easily be another $2k for labor/parts. These aren’t Honda’s. They cost money to keep on the road. Especially as a DD in Detroit.
