my wife says im daft what do you think ?
 
i was just weighing up what owning the car costs me :cry:

insurance £1445.00 a year ( only if paid in full )

fuel £50.00 a week

2 services a year @ £125.00 + vat each

tax £222.75 ( for 6 months :razz: )

cleaning products, tyre's, breaks, repairs, mods:norty:.

i have to agree on paper i/we must all be mad :cuckoo:, but then you sit in the drivers seat, drop the right boot and all the doubts dissapear when you hear the sweet scooby engine notes........:D:D:D:D

i all ways say if you can afford it then its not a problem, it only becomes a problem if your main priororties suffer, my motto is IF YOU CAN THEN YOU SHOULD.

Splitpin 06 July 2010 07:38 PM

Good questions, but not really technical ones I'd suggest. Unless you want a way of sorting your Mrs out. ;)

£1445 a year on insurance!!!!!! Think you need to talk to Gary at Keith Michaels, post's as MoleyWRX on here. I have 400bhp+ and less than £600. So worth a try.

Ciaran 06 July 2010 08:42 PM

Im glad i don't run it daily anymore.
I never realy thought much about the cost. It just cost what it cost and i paid the bills.
Currently the scoobies running costs are £0 fuel £0 road tax £0 insurance. As for mods well this year about £25k here is a pick of the work in progress

Your service cost is way too low - have you thought of cam belt changes and "all fluids replacements" coming up ;)

Mine used to be along similar lines, but I can tell you now that I am *SO* happy that I now have a daily driver diesel... spend 40 quid a week on fuel instead of 120, and to be honest the diesel is more fun, more comfortable and handles better at the speeds I get to do on the commute than the subaru.
