So I'm now in to my 5th year of ownership and still as happy with the car as the day I bought it. To say I use it daily & nightly, go on holiday in it usually once a year and drive it like my pants are on fire......and the fact it lives outside spending most its life wet through (living in Lancashire).......marches on through the salt and snow every winter........and gets burnt to a crisp on the French Riviera every summer........it's cost me very little.
I've posted a full breakdown (no pun) of all costs below but in a nutshell, here's a few bullet points of interest:
Distance covered 37,800 miles
All running cost includes everything except road tax and fuel. i.e. servicing, repairs, mods, Insurance.
Average yearly running cost (inc. ins.) £1922 with a highest of £2814 and lowest of £888.
Average Fully comp yearly Insurance £275
Average yearly service £264 with a highest of £354 and lowest of £158.
Biggest bill £666 for new clutch, ims bearing checked and outer seal removed, ims cover plate leak fixed and gearbox oil change.
Second biggest bill £515 for diff. rebuild - seals, gaskets, bearings & pinion gears.
Still on same brake pads and discs all round (disc have been skimmed though).
Cost per mile - 20p
Cost per month - £157
Here's to another 4 years of ownership :drink:
