Mine is a money pit. I paid $1000, put around $250 into it(new windshield and front brakes), drove for 6 months and blew the engine(engine and cvt $1200-1500 I can't remember, 1200 plus core that I kept and tore apart for science). Rear brakes cost around $100(drums,bearings and shoes), recently bought new winter tires for around $120. Now wheel bearings, $50 shipped iirc. I guess it cost me around $1000/year over the last 3 years to own including purchase price.
I wish my other junkers were similar. Every time I think about my truck it usually ends up with a $1500-2000 parts list. Ac compressor and drier, steering box, ball joints, leaf spring bushings, I keep forgetting that there are only 2 bolts holding the cab to the frame(thanks previous owner!). I'll fix it next year...
