My DMC cost 7700- of course, it was in need of some parts here and there. Lets see, as of now.... Warm up regulator master cylinder new weatherstripping recovering seats repainting facias computer governor new binnacle floor mats full load of freon new pistons torsion bar adjustment new window motor new lock solenoid various updates fuel pump, fuel tank, fuel baffle all coolant hoses new belts and after a complete breakdown of the passenger side door-- new filler panel new t panel door alignment fiberglass repair altogether, costing me around 8000 in repairs. Not the cheapest car to have, but I did buy mine as a restoration project. Scott
