| Mine ran perfectly to 98K miles, with only routine maintenance to the motor. Synthetic oil changes 2-3 times a year. 2 sets of brake pads. 3 sets of tires. I rebuilt the suspension at about 60K. Did it "need it"? No. JWT Pop & ECU, and Karumaz door moldings, purchased at ZCon '05 charity auction. Did it "need it"? No, but it was a great buy and I knew I'd want those things eventually. I added '99-Spec Tail treatment. Did it "need it"? No. Cat-Back @ 93K miles. Did it "need it"? The mufflers were starting to rot, so yeah, but 11 years and 90K miles is a reasonable life for an exhaust. Water Pump @ 96K miles, about $100 and a Saturday afternoon. Did it "need it"? Yeah, the original one was weeping. But this also falls under routine. TT-Swap at 98K miles. Did it "need it"? No, my NA motor was running perfectly. Over the 6 years I've owned it I've probably spent another $12K over the initial $18K purchase price. But as you can see above, most of that $12K was voluntary upgrade expense, not needed maintenance. FWIW, just about all of this has been documented on this forum. Now come out to a meet already ;~)
