so far, i'm in for $5,658.31 since may 2009, including the new GAHH top (upgrade, not required), plus around $425 in oil changes (i do my own). i bought the car with 65k miles and i've put 25K miles on it. except the alternator ($237) nothing was a complete failure requiring replacement. the strut mount ($445), motor mount ($314) and control arm ($500) were failing, but had not failed. the rest were preventative/maintenance items.
