As some of the other posters have stated, minor repairs can be very costly, so make sure you get the right car/price for what it is you are trying to do.
Yep. Agreed. I can walk away from my STi, and a 25000 mile 2005 Elise is about the same cost... So I could walk away from that, too.

I could continue to drive my STi forever, but I am worried about the constant $1000-2000 dollar "upgrades" to failing parts and systems on top of the high track day maintenance and upkeep. The motor will eventually fail, and then from there it's really downhill because rebuilt motors never last long. I need to get away before the costs get too high.
