Well, that ballpark figure is perhaps for the past 5 years when the car
started to "need" things: clutch, timing belt, half-axel, water pump,
rotors/pads. So it's more like $3,000 (including oil changes and
regular maintenance) - far cheaper than buying a new car, which
would have higher insurance rates and carry about 1/3 of the same
maintenance costs.
