I just went thru and did the ultimate anal thing and bound all my receipts for my ’87 convertible, then did a tally (first receipt is the car cost from June 16th, 1987).
Ya ready for this!!!
In 16 years this car (inclusive of the purchase price at $29,260.00 - all fee's and taxes included, first owner leased my car at a wonderful $479.00 a month, so not including buyout and extra lease charges that were so great in the 1980's although) has cost it’s three owners a total of $55,125.00! $25K+ in repairs! Not including some brake work I am getting done next week. Three turbochargers, two clutches, more ball joints than I can count, top(s) , top pump, calipers, seats and the list goes on and on!
Current odometer reading is 145,000, still a baby in Saab life. The sickness!
Anyone else want to join in?
And you still couldn't even pry it from my cold dead hands! Love my car....
