leelbuk Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 £800 on insurance £160 road tax £330 a year on 2 sets of rear tyres £x on fuel but I know she drinks more than me & my friends do in a year so its got to be a fair bit £200 mods so far - haven't had good enough job to do much more but that will change with my new job! definately in the region of 2k if I estimate the amount of fuel used in the last 6 months! So about 4k a year and I hardly started yet! Must remember not to let girlfriend see this thread!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt H Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 £10 /day petrol (call it £3k a year as I don't drive it every single day) £150 ish road fund £900 insurance £1000 servicing £2000 additions (based on £1000 I have spent in the last 6months) thats about it I think so around 7k, less than 10% earnings. So you earn over £70k per year?! :blink: why dont your own a lambo?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, none of those. A magical money tree would be awsome My salary pays for bills, living expenses, clothes etc and to maintain, run and modify the car I buy and sell things (no not drugs) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaymdee Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 For my TT, over 3 years it works out at £6k per year including petrol, tax, ins, servicing, tyres, mods & a few repair bills. I've got a few minor (BPU type) mods - nothing fancy. That also accounts for depreciation which I've estimated at £1k per year. So £500 per month I also worked out my Integrale (supposedly a money pit) and that comes in at £200 per month all inc. So much cheaper than the Supe (maybe I should drive that more?)

lambertpig Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 hell what is going on. ok ive spent 2500 on bpu bilsteins 17 wheels and fmic but apart from that f*/k all. £50 a week on fuel 580 a year fully comp and full service and pads for 350. not counting the conversion one off then the car is costing very little. my brothers ford focus has cost more with main agent servicing.the car has not had anything go apart from consumables at all.may be down to the low miles 53000 or prehaps i have been lucky:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
