One thing I should probably mention- of all of the things I've had done to the Porsche (probably £7k of it) has been non-essential, the only thing that was "have to do" was the brake servo. But if I'd not done everything else it'd have driven in a way which meant the purchase price was wasted. As TRA said earlier in this thread, a lot of people would likely have left stuff until it broke, then fixed it.
The Volvo puts out 165bhp/litre. I drove 180 miles today in total comfort with two cats, bags of Christmas presents, luggage in the boot and three bikes on the back. It cruised at 90 unflappably, and it'll keep on doing that or as long as you keep filling the tank up.
Considering what it is, and that I service it every five thousand miles, it's costs are very low.
