Having owned my C4S for 1 year (and 2 days), I've just had her in for some remedial work that was picked up on the last service. Having now just got a bill for £2k I thought I'd tot up my expenses over the past year.
This most recent bill brings my Year 1 costs to over £7k, which is hugely frustrating as I was about to look into selling the car on. The latest job involved replacing both power steering hoses (front to back) and replacing the water pump amongst other things, all jobs that need doing but I'm feeling a little unlucky that they've all fallen in my ownership.
My man maths had this car as being one I could run for 12-18months and come out of fairly clean, but alas not to be. I guess when it does go someone is going to get a pretty sorted car, but I'm going to enjoy it for a while yet and see if I can have the next 6 months or so without having any additional expenses. The car owes me £31.5k, if i told my Mrs she'd go nuts.
Anyone having similar, or perhaps had zero costs in the last year?
I just wanted to vent because I'm a little frustrated right now....
