    Yeah, I replaced about $1000 of parts on mine (clutch, turbo) when I bought it a bit over 5 years ago. Maintenance since then has been a set of brake pads, timing belt, water pump (while there), alternator belts and lubes.
    There are only three types of people in this world. Those that can count, and those that can't!
