Careful now, of all the forums I've been too, this is one of the few (BMW forums excluded
) that feel their cars appreciate in value. Anyway, for your investigative nature, I often rely on Rennlist:

I also go to Planet-9, on occasion. Here is what they had to say:

I guess, I fall into the camp of -- Do I really expect to have a completely worry free car for my entire life? No. Is it likely that something will happen to the pdk that causes the NYSE, NASDAQ, and the Nikkei to plunge? Or a Walking Dead Scenario where we worry about what the Governor is up to? Well, do a search on "cost of pdk repair" on Google and see if you get any results.
My guess is there is plenty more on the Governor.
