At this mileage, if you had already taken care of the VANOS stuffs and bearings, then it's really only maintenance to worry about. Set aside about $500 - $1000 per year and you are already ahead versus another more expensive car for somewhat similar driving experience. If you haven't done VANOS and bearings, then that's about $3000 worth of addition work, but it's still the way to go comparing to $20K - $30K going to an "unknown entity" of a used Cayman or 1M!

If this isn't your primary car, then the decision to keep it is even more compelling. The only reason to get another car...is the itch to get another car.
