MEH. I owned my Elise for 2 years and 20K miles and changed the oil one time. never did any other service. But that car is not exactly an exotic.

Personally though, as a rule, I do not follow maintenance schedules, drive something into the ground and then sell it before it becomes my problem.

Note to self. Do not buy car from Newman.  
The car is fucking hot btw. Buy it and then dd that shit. Someone go look up parts/service costs. I am sure they are as bad as we think. 91MR2 seems to have this subject on lock.
