[Krazeedude]

I have just worked out that between insurance, Corsa and MX5, I have spent £8K on cars since is was 17. I'm 19. That doesn't account for the petrol, which I'm owed a good 15k miles worth. Fuuuuuuuuuck!


Still, money well spent imo

That's without £3k on fuel, tax, mots, so I'm looking at £11k.
73p/mile. lol

 

[taurus]

Initial cost of car
£7000 - 9 months old in March 2002

Insurance yearly prices e.g. first year of insurance to current year
11 years at about £130 a year = 1430


Modification costs from day one, how much you have spent changing it
£0 - I don't modify them

MOT Repairs if any, what repairs and how much it cost to repair
Front & rear spings, rear rose bushes - off the top of my head about £200 in all for parts.

Any other costs any other costs you can think of
Replaced the timing chains at 96k just to be on the safe side - £280 for genuine GM chains.

Other than that just routine servicing every 10k with an oil / filter every 5k - over the past 125k it's run with only one minor issue - a wiring break on the intake air temp sensor.

25 x oil/filter (c £11 a shot = £275)
3 x spark plugs = £45
12 x filter sets = £300
16 tyres = £1120
1 exhaust = £150
2 x front discs = £120
Brake pads, fluid = £80
Transmission fluid / antifreeze = £30

Road tax - always going up - spent just over £2500

So over 11 years and 125k miles:
Road tax £2500
Basic Servicing & repairs £2600
Insurance £1500
Plus fuel - I reckon I've used about 3500 gallons - roughly about £14,000 given the average price per gallon over that period

Total cost over 125k = £27,600 = 22p per mile :thumbs_up:

Taurus I can't believe that in 11 years you have paid exactly half what I pay now for just one year for insurance

The benefits of a clean licence , no claims , postcode , keeping the same car for a long time , and being an old fart .
