There have been a number of threads about how much it costs to maintain a 968 over the years, which got me to thinking. Could we pin it down a bit?
So here's the deal. Add up how much you spent on maintenance and repairs last year. Cosmetic updates and upgrades don't count, so please exclude them.
Fuel costs don't count, as they're too variable.
Maintenance and repairs only please.
New rims don't count, unless you trashed yours. Tires are fair game as long as you really needed them, not just wanted a bigger size etc.
I'll go back at some point and calculate an average cost based on responses, which will help the new guys who are always asking.
Yes, I know it will be biased, because there are more [color="blue"]checkbook[/color] mechanics here, than more [color="blue"]DIY[/color] types.
If you want to add details such as year, model and major expenses feel free. I'm not sure how to tally that, but it will certainly be interested to look for trends.
