>> Belts every 3 yrs x 2 = 6K
>> variators every 3 yrs x 2 = 1K
>> Clutch assuming 15M life = 5K
>> Annual service @ $1K per yr = 6K
>> Tires x2 @1K each = 2K
>> Depreciation @10% of value per yr = 33K
>> F1 pump and actuator repair = 10K

>> TOTAL 63K-- maybe less if the car does not depreciate as much as the
