Original engine, turbo, etc... no major components have been replaced, except for the water pump at 150k, bearings sometime after that.. but that is to be expected in any car, I would imagine. When I first bought this car, I wouldn't necessarily have recommended it to others (because of possible higher maintenance costs) unless they had a need to "be different", like I have. :) But after my experience with the 9000, I would recommend it whole-heartedly because it has been extremely reliable. -Roland G.
