Granted I have a 2012 N55 (different motor) with 63k miles. I've had the car for a year and I've put 13k miles on it since it's my DD.
In that time, I've had to replace:
Water pump and themorstat ($500 for all the parts and coolant, DIY fix)
Expansion Tank ($200 with labor)
PVC Valve Cover ($750 with labor)
Starter ($550 with labor)
Oil sensor harness ($105 with labor)
This is excluding a new set of spark plugs and 2 oil changes.
Owning this car can be confusing. I'm constantly going back and forth of hating and loving it. Always thinking of selling it, but honestly, I'd be losing a lot of money if I did, plus I really do love the car. Funny enough, all my problems started after I installed a JB4. Car ran perfectly fine without it.
Seriously considering just taking that out and doing cosmetic mods. Car is plenty fun when it's stock.
