My calculator doesn't go up that far. I really don't want to think about it

Tidgy

my old car 20k ish give or take inc servicing and maintenance over 10 years, this one, well not realy started yet

drummerkev

6k on the car, only had it a matter of weeks and my bill up to now is in the region of about £700. I plan to spend a good couple of grand on the car though over the next few months tbh. Front end respray to get rid of the chips, wheels and tyres, new stereo, new gearbox at somepoint next year. Set of KYB shocks and subtle lowering springs, set of Zunsport grills... the list go's on and on.

On my Type R around £9k four of which I got back when I sold loads of bits off it, some of which i'm now buying at less than half the price I sold them for, so i'm quids in there

The blob wagon which I bought using the £4k from the Type R hasn't cost anything but fuel and a couple of oil changes, although that may change depending on what I decide to do with it, not sure if I want to keep it or not at the moment, thinking about getting a cheap run-around and putting the Type R back on the road, going to wait till after xmas before I decide, choices choices.

Out of pure interest I added up all the receipts I have for my car from new including servicing and a few mods etc but nothing major, from new to date the total was about 11k, 97 UK turbo, so on average the car up until now has cost around £650 a year to maintain, which isn't too bad I guess!

Fudgey

iTrader: (1)

Is that since you have owned the car?
i have a lot of receipts from previous owners for my car, its had loads spent on it including a £3.5 receipt from API for a replacement engine. wheel and brake refurb etc... i have not added all those up tho lol
