RE: cost of maintaining S4/S6 vs '91 200/V8

[Peter Henriksen <peterhe@microsoft.com>]

Probably about equivalent to the 20v 200 (91) - the engines are
essentially the same except that the S models are distributorless and
have odd and sundry items in different locations in the engine bay.

More than a 100 for sure on most parts. Possibly not much less than a
V8. Of course, all things considered it would hopefully be a while
longer before you'd have to shell out the dollars on a newer car...
