10 cents/mile is what I always figure for maintenance/repairs on these cars based on three SAABs (2 9-5 and 1 9000) purchased used. My 01 LPT is somewhat below that figure but I know some expenses are coming with 128K and orig turbo, clutch, etc. As we know, expenses seem to come in clusters.
Add another .12 for gas (Calif), .10-.12 for deprec and about .05 for insurance per car and I always seem to average approx 35-40/cents/mile to operate them. That's buying used at the 4-5 year mark. I could probably do just as well buying a bit newer but never pay more than $10-12K for my cars (champagne on a beer budget...)
