Don't have exact numbers but much less. That said, I'm only putting 5K or less on mine annually. I'd agree that tires tend to be the biggest expense. Repairs are rare but do happen from time to time. However, YMMV.

Depends on the dealer but generally no aside from inspections for the more popular Honda models. Hit the applicable regional subforum and ask for recommendations on shops.
