i've been lucky then, in the 3 and a half years of owning a vr6, all i have had to replace is a water pump, and a heater matrix.

I think you should give us a total cost for that lot too!

The best way to look at it is once the jobs have been done you know its sorted and it wont need doing for a good while...

thats how i look at it too, if all those bits had managed 130,000 miles than they should be fine for a while.

 

i think i've spent just over £3k on it, but that includes everything, tyres, mot, services, gearknob, badges, literally everything
