I bought my 1995 850 GLT in Feb. 1999 w/ 71000 miles from a dealer auction - it has now 131000 miles. I had to change ABS module ~ $450.00 from junk yard, one ball jt (arm) ~ 150.00, radiator $400.00 and one engine mount $140.00 - all the prices include parts and labor and done by my mech.
I myself replaced the top engine mount ($12.00), plugs, rotor and cap (~$100.00), cleaned egr. I do my brakes myself ( they wear fast here in NYC).
My Air cond. needs recharge every year w/ 12 oz of freon ( do it myself as well as tranny flush).

I don't think I spend a lot in 5 years - w/ any american car of this mileage it would be much more.
