It averaged out to about 600-700 bucks in parts a month and lost a third of its value when I sold it. Cost of ownership for 2 years was about $900 a month. None of the money spent were mods or upgrades. Every part bought was to keep the thing running stock. I wrench on my own cars. It would be considerably more if I factor in my own labour. I think keeping the v12 alive and the extra gadgets working in the rear of the long wheel base won't be cheap.
