I am with maytag on this, no way $10K a year in maintenance. I have had my car going on 3 years. Total maint. Cost minus tires, $1000 including new battery another $1K on a set of tires. Everything else was things I did as modification so does not count as maintenance. Tires needed changing when I purchased the car otherwise was nice and tidy 2 previous owners enthusiast.

Garage
miles, years, repairs

So, I purchased mine with 58k on the car and 25k on a factory Porsche replacement engine, 1999 with 5 speed manual, I replaced the brakes/rotors ($125), rear tires ($350), starter (making squawking noise $125), driver's seat belt ($125), Headlight bulbs ($50 each), shifter cable and shift assembly used ($125). I purchased 4 years ago, I currently have 120k miles on the car. Still tight, quiet, and super fun to drive. I even have to drive 1 mile on a gravel road to my house. So, just under $1k in 4 years of regular driving.
