It's relative.
Compared to the the amount of payments I've made into vehicles over the years,
it's a small amount.
I do keep receipts for everything though cause its a common buyer tactic to lowball if you dont have the receipts.

Not too sure, but I've been doing pretty good with spending the least possible on my 97, but I got other money pits to focus on.

I started out real well at first---i only paid $2400 for am extremely low mileage 93 sc400---paid 900$ for some 20 inch chromes with rubber.
I was smooth sailing until my repair bills started popping up.
Took me a thousand dollars to figure out thast my cam sensor plug was loose.
$700 for a knuckle replacement--front brakes----front left rotor refurbish---and a diagnosis of a few other issues.
Ive had to replace 6-----yes 6 tires in less than a year ----please dont buy nankangs---its for your own good
my tranny line sprung a leak -----120 to fix---and there are some other things that im forgetting im sure.
All in all i still love the car and i am not mad with it at all---I love it actually.
Best car ive ever owned by far

^pretty sure the Nankang brand had nothign to do with why you replaced 6 tires within 1 year, lol. I'm pretty sure your mis ALIGNMENT was the culprit.
and if you think 6 tires in 1 year is bad, i replaced more than 10 in less than that, lol. and sure enough, my Rear Toe was the culprit.
