Yes if that’s the monthly repair bill cost. But he might get lucky and have a trouble-free December, just in time for crimbo.

Phaeton?
Phatone
Nope, not going German again for now.
Been to see a car in Bristol. Nice car and drove well but absolutely no paperwork (not even the manual), one key, the stereo needed a code he didn’t have and he “couldn’t remember if he’d changed the belts on this one or not”. I drove away.

What shall we do now ?
Well, there still me and Jim with Porsche induced poverty. I’ve just been skinned for £1300 for a service and it still needs more work.

There is that. Plenty of shits and giggles to come 
Was that a main dealer? What did you have done?
The secret is to buy one that’s just had a thorough going over, paid for by the previous owner - at least then, the pain is delayed
