$24 in repairs the last two years as a daily winter driver and summer beater car. The body is rusted and the interior is trashed, but it has never left me stranded. 36k miles in over four years and I have less than $400 in maintenance repairs.
Similarly, my '85 900T which I had for over 5 years was about the same > $550 in repairs, $400 coming in one shot in the dead of winter, too cold for me to troubleshoot in the driveway, so I paid a shop to do the work. In over 20 years of owning Saabs, that was the only time I had a shop do work for me.
