Not a lot. Front end rebuild at 400,000 km (bushings, struts, cv joints). Power steering rack tubes had to be replaced (rotted). One or two window winders. One AC compressor clutch.

Original turbo and engine (burns one quart in 6,000 miles). Original clutch died at 500,000 km. Original starter, original alternator, original AC charge, mostly original exhaust.

Most reliable and cheapest car I have ever owned. And lowest driving cost...and made in Mexico.
