and have spent about $2500 in parts for maintnance. The mustang, I just changed the oil and drove.
Your S2 is also 7 years older than the Mustang was. I think that most of the expense comes from the cars simply being old. I never count "routine" maintenance (plugs, wires, clutch, brakes, etc) when comparing reliability, but you're right that they will cost more to keep up.
