how much does YOUR car cost per year?
#31
I put money aside for it each month but since I've owned it (October 2006) I haven't spent much on it;
£300 road tax
£1500 insurance (£88/month)
£25 seat covers (for muddy days) and about £15 for some rubber floor mats
$390 (about £200 ish) for sump guard & rear diff guard
+ the monthly loan repayments
But I put £260 aside each month for it; don't seem to be spending that so far!
It'll be due new tyres in the next 3-4 months, and I might buy a back box for it.

Lets see, to buy, insure, fuel, service and road tax the monthly figure is ~820pm. Annually that is of course £9942! (20k/py mileage, 25 yo driver with 3ncb)
Wish I hadnt done that now - imagine the house I could have!

Not had it a year so don't know. Car not used for commuting so fuel costs only about £20-30 a week.
Since it arrived in April:
£800 insurance
£200 tax and registration etc
£300 alarm
£150 service and inspection
Next month:
£250-ish new front discs and pads and fluid
£500-ish new clutch as juddery and biting point very high

my local subaru specialist charges £100+ vat for a minor service.
Since i've had my classic (18months) =
£543 major cambelt service, including fitting a cat back exhaust
£300 exahaust mod
£130 minor service
£150 2 rear tyres (front at just about due now)
£800 insurance
Pretty good considering the power, plus the tyres had been on sice about 35k (previous owner fitted them, i bought the car with about 55k on ) its now on 70k miles.. most of which are me going round the Evo triangle!
brakes are still great, clutch feels good...
main cost is petrol imo... spend time and buy a good low mile one, best £ per smile for reasonable cash!
1 year ownership of my previous saxo VTS (64k miles on clock, i did about 6k) cost me:
£170 servicing
£150 brakes
£150 tyres
£100 new cat (it failed)
£50 new headlight (it failed)
£700 insurance
£100 new radiator (it failed)
£100 front suspension (it failed)
and
£800 for new engine & clutch (inc labour) as it randomly blew up.
