I am just wondering how much you guys spend keeping you're car up and running every year? Just an annual estimate for repair costs (and normal maintenance) is what I am looking for. I want to get an idea of what to expect before i make a purchase, cause I want to make sure my finanaces will be able to support me. I would hate to buy the car, get beat on by insurance, and then not be able to afford to keep it running.
 
4g's so far that includes rebuilding transmission, starter, radiator, and all of my mod in my list.......and I only driven it for 5k miles......
 
I have replaced due to blowing or going bad:

1 clutch and 1 turbo in 3 years and that's with 3 dsm's. They aren't as bad as people think. Gas can kill you.
 
I haven't but i am very pickey about what cars i will buy. Some people have very bad luck with them. And all my cars were 100,000+ i have never driven a dsm with less than that.
