If I was taking it to a shop then yes, it would have been the GDP of France.

I am about $12K into the 190E. That's over 7 years now and includes a transmission reseal, engine swap, new gearbox, front and rear suspension rebuilds and the original purchase price.
I am about $8K into the 300D. That's over 2 years. It includes rear suspension rebuild, partial front suspension rebuild, steering rebuild (less box),etc.
I've got spreadsheets on all of my cars if you wanted to see anything. Some jobs I farm out to my one shop when I am too busy or too lazy.
