Hardly worth totalling for me

'01S with 55k+ on it now bought with 42k on it

2 years ago a tired O2 sensor (front right)
3 years ago air leak in air induction
4 years ago seatbelt grounding per TSB

Total cost so far for 50 months of ownership averages ~$12 per month in unscheduled maintenance. I have another O2 sensor I'm about to drop in just to get their age matching but it has not yet really shown a code so I'm at a loss as to if it goes into the unscheduled, scheduled or owners paranoia categories.

I've also replaced one battery (car is probably on its third), no tires, air and pollen filters and done the once a year oil changes three times for $40 labor each and my supplied parts under the scheduled category.
