I would guesstimate about 1-2k/yr to keep it running for 4-6 DE's per year. I'll do this likely in 2 years, and then part out some of the track mods on my S4.

I would also consider an older boxster/cayman, the price on those are pretty mid 15k ish. But I won't feel bad about pulling panels from the e36, while I probably would with an e46 or boxster.
So, question, if you have an S4 then are layering in a 10k car and 2k/yr maintenance, would you be better off getting an F80 M3 or Vette and bundling it all together?

Or just getting better tires and brakes for an M sport F30 and hammering on it?
