Default Servicing costs

Can anyone give a rough guide to how much my servicing costs are likely to be in the first 2/3 years for a WRX?

I think if you look in the model info in the back of What Car they show maintenance costs over 3yrs./36000 miles. I think these come from a leasing co.

Depends on your mileage:-

Main servicing:-
1k - £55
10k - £160
20k- £160
30k - £400

4 new tyres approx ever 12-16k - £400
New pads approx every 12-18k - £100
New discs approx every 20k - £200

Modifying your car after reading scoobynet - £1000's!!!!!!

Cut the main servicing costs in half by going to an independant specialist such as Scoobyclinic, and still keep your warranty. Oh, the joys of 'block exemption removal'

Body inspection costs vary hugely. When I needed mine I got prices ranging from £125+VAT to £45+VAT. Phone as many dealers as you can and try to get your local to match the best price. When alls said and done, it takes them less than 1/2 hour, and involves about £5 worth of waxoil so don't let them shaft you.
