Holy crap, $9K over a one and a half year period?  ...And to think that I
thought I'd had it rough, my 89 having cost me CAD$7K (I don't do much of
my own maintenance, though most of those costs are part costs) over a 2.5
year period...

To a certain extent, what you can get out of it may depend on what you've
had done to the car, and what condition it's actually in now.  For $9K,
what have you had done to the car?
