If you look at the problems he had I'm sure they could have been fixed by him for a very low cost.

The expensive part of car ownership is when the stealerships get involved and replace parts with no regard to the cost to the owner, who pays for parts that were not needed plus the high labor cost to install the same unneeded parts.

These cars are quite reliable, on my '04 I put in a 10 cent diode and that was the extent of repairs in 37,000 km from new and finally a set of rear tires to pass the Provincial safety inspection for its sale, as they were down to the wear bars on the inside.
