Just repairs to keep it on the road, about $300 per year - including labor & tax. Now, upgrades that I've put in, 10 times that each of 2 years I've had the car. I put together a spreadsheet of what I've spent on mods & such because of somebodys post some months ago. I got depressed once I hit 5K so I stopped keeping track.  I'm gonna have one helluva car once all this crap gets installed...
Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.

not much...maybe 200 250...if that..not including oil changes and brakes,tires,coolant flushes,plugs wires, those are maintanence items... and shouldnt be put under repairs...for repairs..last year all i repaired was the fuel pump....it was free and i didnt really need to change it,cause it wasnt the problem...this year so far one bearing...do the work right,with quality parts and you shouldnt have to do it every year,or two
