Well, the car did everything I wanted, and expected: I hoped for 250k with little fuss, then a big expensive repair, done at 300k. I hadn't planned well enough for the drama of dealing with finding good mechanics to work on it though, and it barely made 100k before it needed work on a yearly basis.
In the end 300k wasn't quite 10 years of ownership. Not that old in the scheme of things, and I'm not sure it was worth it. Worth it as it was exactly what I wanted at the time, and made me happy: but in hindsight, not a good financial "vehicle" to minimize money expenses.
