I bought a 2005 turbo AT 2 years ago ($7500) - it had a relatively new dealer installed engine (50k) and turbo (30k) - 160,000 miles on car. I would say I spent $3k on it in first 6 months. It drives beautifully now except for recuring P057? code (evap/fuel) AND seems rust (left rear jacking point and right rear door rocker panel) may be an imminent future issue - prob looking at $1200 emerg repair for that to make it last more than next 2-3 years.

So you are looking at spending $3k plus if you have access to $80/hour mechanic.

BTW: new Banjo bolt turbo feed filter replacement cost $350 at dealer (quoted $500 but followed a YouTube vid procedure I forwarded them).

Get a recent Ridgeline:)
