in the last year:

IMS, RMS, clutch, Flywheel, starter, alternator, AOS, MAF, expansion tank, shocks, brake pads, rear axle boots, wheel straightening/refinish. I upgraded the exhaust (full Fabspeed) and put on new rubber (Bridgstone Potenza RE-11).

Total damage so far $10,000.


Will need to do control arms, coil packs and the rear plastic window has a nickel size gash. .....yep.


p.s.
If I sell the car I will: A) have to spend more, or A LOT more to get something as good or better (I am skeptical) or B) buy something brand new and have a monthly payment. I opted to keep the car.
Looking at used car prices for Porsches is deceiving. Unless the mileage is very low or the previous owner did extensive maintance, you've got some expensive upkeep to factor into the price.
