Well, I don't know the exact cost (im guessing a little north of $10k) bit here is a partial list of repairs over the past 5 years.
rebuilt Trans $4k
a/c manifold/dryer/r134 conversion $2,100
condenser
rear shocks and accumulaters
rebuild steering box $800
fuel pump $200
fuel relay $150
rear suspension links (did that my self save for one link I could not get out)
cruise control brain and actuater
That's all I can recall for now.
There are times when I just wish I did not have the car due to the cost but wen I think of what I would have to replace it with there is nothing I can afford that I would like. I saw this car first in Car and Driver in 1985, thought, "well there is another exotic I wll never own" and go figure 15 years later, I have one in my garage. I guess I look at it as an extention of who I am in a way. I get looks from young kids in their ricers who don't know what it is but they know its nice. Kind of a neat feeling to get noticed in a 20 year old car.
I'll keep fixing her till I run out of money or it just ain't fixable any more. I shudder what I will do when that happens.
