Below is a list of repairs my car has had from all owners. I am the third owner and have a complete set of records. I have an after market warranty that cost $2800 and after tallying it up I have had $5,463 done in repairs in the last 3 years. Before me there was $4855 done in repairs for a total of $10,318 in repairs during this cars life. Is this normal? The spread sheet below is slightly off my portion of the $ but only because I have a record at work that's not accounted for. It seems this car has something expensive to repair every 7k to 10k. I bought it at 59,000 miles. Is this normal? thanks
