I dont have the break down, since Ive been thru so many rim sets, brake setups, turbo setups, transmissions, clutches, motor mounts, multiple paint jobs, multiple trunks, hoods, bumpers, door panels, seats, windshields......., but I have over 20k on the red 94 ES with original purchase price of $1000.
I bought the green 94 GS for $800 and I have about $3000 sunk into it.
Calculated around $8500ish minus $1000 on resale item = $7500 spent
Just shy of owning the car for two years. Almost at 50k miles :(

bought car new for $26,000 in 1999.
