That is missing a few things, including the doors I put on the car 1.5 years ago.

Total spent on the car by my speadsheet: $10,795. This does not include gas or insurance, or the random crap like cleaning stuff and fluid top-ups. $4000 was the purchase price for my SVX, so I've sunk almost $7K into it since then.

Important note: Very few things on my car have "broken". The alternator, rear bearings, brakes, water pump and exhaust are the only things that have ever broken and needed to be replaced. Those represent $1200 at most. Everything else has been preventative maintenance, or just done because I thought it should be.

I would disagree with Seraph. I love my SVX every day I drive it. It has never let me down. I take it on a 1000 mile trip to school and back every year. There is no other car I would rather be driving. (well, I would love an EJ22 swapped Brat to pound through the winter to keep the SVX clean, but you know what I mean.)
