Can anyone give me a breakdown of typical yearly running costs for a UK spec turbo, prob about 40k on the clock?

Just in terms of MPG, servicing, tyres, brakes etc etc.

Considering entering the world of Scoob ownership but don't want to find myself spending every penny I have on running costs!

Open an account at your local Shell station - you will soon be spending a lot of your time there.

I reckon mine costs at least £300 quid a month, fuel, tyres, insurance, servicing.

Which don't include the £250 per month loan

But ha, wouldn't change it for the world

Hi,

I budget £280 a month for fuel, servicing, tax and insurance

Dont ask about the loan ... big loans are normal

If ever i doubt the amount of money i spend on the car - i just go for a drive and that grin makes it all worth while.
