I drive it 1-2 times a month and have had very few issues other than having to have the alternators rebuilt and the A/C system cleaned and serviced. I change the oil/filter twice a year and had an engine out service in 2001 and again in 2010.

Interesting to hear about your experiences since you have owned your 512 for such a long time.

I am curious to know if you've had anything done to improve road hoalding? And if not, if you are considering it or have considered it during your ownership?
