Then lots of hours to diagnose bad cats (and lifters replaced - misdiagnosis), then custom exhaust and ECU tune.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

It's been 30 days, a really exciting month with my lovely car. I am trying to enjoy every second of it and every part of it. I covered in total 2200km in 30 days and needed 270 liters of petrol. That was for me in Cyprus 375�. After having to pay the annual tax of 950� and the annual insurance of 750� the result gives me that the car will have a basic cost of 550� per month. Without calculating any other expenses such as service, oil changes, filter changes, tire changes and other expenses that come up due to the age of the car. How much do you guys spend? I have a feeling that it's a bit too much due to high cost of tax and petrol.
Sure - cost of tax and gas depends on country you are in! If you can do DIY maintenance or find indepependent mechanic that will save you quite a bit. Oil change is less that $100 diy in USA - depends on cost of your oil and rear tires should last 8-10 k miles ... I'd buget another $1k or so per year for maintenance - could be more or less depending if you need bigger ticket items like window regulator, water pump , rms, aos etc to name a few.

Congrats! Yea, they are great cars but can be expensive to keep. Mine has cost about $1800 a month average over the past 2 1/2 years (not including gas and tires).
Actually the previous owner did IMS and RMS, also AOS, full service and back tires some months ago. It was in the deal! It's a 2002 car that I hope will not have huge maintenance costs. I believe that the dealer after having a discussion regarding the cost there with one of the guys will be an affordable solution since their prices are ok. They charge 100� per hour but I think they have really good prices on parts. Currently hoping that my roof will not need anything because I can see that sometimes it gets really slow when closing. Also some noises while driving but not always. With 40 degrees celcious here already maybe it needs some lubricant and good maintenance.
The AC is quite good but I always try to avoid parking it under the sun because if you do that and after a couple of hours open the door it's like a volcano is exploded from the interior! It has 130000km now but I feel that it has been well maintained! I just don't want to replace it from daily car, I love it!
I think my glasses are tinted a bit. Don't want it a lot anyway because there will be differ nice with the silver color of the car. Found on my extras list that it has tinted windows and a luxurious package or something like that!
It's actually closer to $50K. Well, it all started with a leaking RMS. With that came clutch kit, pressure plate, and IMSB upgrade. Then lots of hours to diagnose bad cats (and lifters replaced - misdiagnosis), then custom exhaust and ECU tune. Other regular maintenance issues like coolant tank, water pump, window regulator, mufflers, lots of brakes, lots of oil changes. Oh yea, then there was the engine replacement (997 3.6L, which is awesome). Since that one axle shaft, rebuilt differential. It all adds up. Not sure how it's gonna end. Possibly with a sold sign and then a 996TT in the garage.
