my 93 CSE on the other hand...
though I like it, and it appears highly well maintained (save for a mystery clunk)
$2800 for car (mostly like new in and out with supposedly rebuilt auto)
$500 shipping (yes I bought it on ebay)
$150 radiator,hoses,thermostat,fan sensor
$65 blower motor
$104 ACC fan control (apparently not necessary, my bad)
$1100 HEAD GASKET and water pump !! (ouch more than I paid for my 90 9000)
$200 rear brakes (rotors, calipers, pads)
$25 front pads
$100 AC hose/charge
$50 used strut assembly
$300 DI Cassette
$25 voltage regulator
Total $5400 and counting with 15 months and 13K miles into ownership...
That's not good math, BUT, I'm now hoping to get a good few years out of it like I did with my 92 as the mileage goes up with all this stuff out of the way. Maybe my monthly average will come down. AND, the inside is much nicer than my 92, still like new.
My fear is that I've gone so long without needing major repairs on my 92, that sooner or later it would start to add up, beyond transmission.
