06 S55 Maintenance Costs?

Want to avoid being overly shocked by changing oil, spark plugs, brakes, etc.
I'm seriously considering buying an 06 S55 with 64,000 miles, $27k.
Can anyone give me a rough idea of maintenance costs?

I'll get a warranty, at least 2-yr maybe 4-yr bumper to bumper. However, a warranty won't cover an oil change or break pads for example.
Can anyone give me a rough estimate for an oil change...for ex. $150 or $1,000?

An oil change is probably less than $150 at the dealer. It's no big deal. In general, maintenance is not terrible for this car. Repairs to the suspension and electrical are the big ticket items.

I'd call up the dealer and ask for exact numbers. Probably 2 or 3 actually.

What are the suspension issues? I have the same car but mine is still under warranty. I'm trying to decide whether to spring for a warranty or "walk on faith" like Peter did. Thanks in advance for your help.
