Hi Cobb. What I have found was that it usually takes about a 1000 dollars to get a used car up and running well. New tires, battery are normal. I may spend about a 1000 the first 6 months then it settles down.
Never believe what the current owner tells you. You have to put up with the lack of maintenance and mistakes of others that went before you. Many times the previous owner will maintain their vehicle but then for the last 6 months to a year they quit.
I won't put my old stuff up against the new except that I don't have a computer and my car will continue to run in the event of an EMP.
A comment on water injection. Here in the midwest we have a lot of minerals in the water and winter weather.
I would be afraid to run tap water. Not positive it that is a real concern, perhaps oil pan can include his thoughts. I know my faucets become unusable in 3-4 years. Would hate to see it develop on the piston crowns or valve gear.
