I was just looking at my spreadsheet. It's an eye opener for modest priced vehicles.
Per year:
Insurance 600
Regro 300
2x WOF 100
Oil and filter 100 (DIY) 2x per yr
Per year tyre 120 (like Supercats assuming a set last 4yrs)
Others 50
Subtotal 1270
The things we told we should do.
Drive belt 100 (300 per 3yr fitted)
Timing belt and assoc. 160 (800 per 8yr fitted) I know should be 5yr but ...
Air filter 30 DIY
Cabin filter 40 (80 per 2yr) DIY
Fuel filter 35 (70 per 2yr) DIY or kind mechanic
Sparks 17 (100 per 6yr platinums - DIY)
Trans 42 (250 per 6yr)
Brake/coolant 75 (150 per 2yr)
Subtotal 500
Total $1770 approx. per year.
For a 8yr car lifetime ownership can add up.
