You're going to have to spend to keep it running well and to avoid the expensive surprises.
I guess this was sort of the point of my post. The SVX I love sincerely... as everyone around here who knows me is aware... but it seems redundant to me to have a car you love and rarely (if ever) drive. The SVX begs to be driven and as such I want to drive her.

Now, the obvious side effect of this is that I'm wearing the car out... and eventually I will reach the point where I've just wrung her out to the point that I can't maintain her any more. It happens to all of us... I just wanted to see what other people were thinking.
