I bought it brand new in 1986 for $18,000.00 and change, including taxes, title, registration fees etc. It had 27 miles on the odometer. Now has 327,000 miles and climbing by about 400 miles a week.
I won't pull out the binder (!) with all of the service records, but major repairs off the top of my head have included:
-Replaced head gasket and had head reconditioned, incl. valve job (not necessary but head was off)
-Engine wiring harness
-New clutch kit
-Rebuilt overdrive
-A few sets of motor mounts/tranny mounts
-Steering rack
-Rebuilt power steering pump
-Blower motor and heater core
-Rebuilt A/C compressor, converted system to R134a
-New bushings in the rear suspension
-At least three sets of ball joints, and two sets of tie-rod ends
-New radiator
-Three water pumps
-Two air mass meters
-Three catalytic convertors
-Two complete cat-back exhaust replacements
-Two starters, one alternator (plus three sets of brushes)
-Two pre-pumps, one main fuel pump
-Have replaced the wiring in the tailgate at least twice
I also had the car professionally painted in 2008. This was not a MAACO job and cost over a grand. Also had the driver's seat rebuilt and all of the seats recovered with new leather in '06. That was also pretty dang expensive (local auto upholstery shop that does mostly bimmers and Mercs).
