Over a 6 year period? Yes. I have receipts totally over $2000 from repair costs on the Bonneville in 2010. BTW if he buys at a dealership, I'd imagine that he'll get the warranty on the vehicle or at least it will come with a drive train warranty, right?
Btw we're both wrong, I ran a quote with Nationwide on a 2000 Mustang V6 Conv and a 2006 Nissan Murano, the Nissan was $6/month cheaper so no big deal.
Also, the gas mileage is about the same so again, mia culpa.
The only things that I will stand by are the premises that the Murano will present a better image, be more dependable and possibly cost less to maintain. Oh and with the super low interest rates cost next to nothing to finance and be "slightly" more comfortable to transport more than two people....
