What has your car cost you?

Re: What has your car cost you?

Great idea for a thread, however I will refrain from participating. As an accountant, if I calculated all I spent on cars, I might get a heart attack and decide to change my life around haha.

Lets just say I spend too much!

Well this is a very valid point - so maybe just stick to maintenance costs if you'd like lol. And not saying all your cars. Just your current one!

Well this could get interesting.

The real cost is well purchase and maintenance. Mod's, well those are above and beyond. So we can break this up if you so wish to participate.

Don't forget to include what the car is!

1. Car Purchase Price
2. Maintenance Costs List them if you have an idea.
3. Mod Costs

Toss in years of ownership and km driven to come up with a cost/km

2007 Audi A3 S-line 3.2 Quattro
1. Purchase Price = $19,000
2. Maintenance: Idler Pulleys, Tensioner, Water pump, Oil changes = ~$1,250
3. Mods: KW V1's, Magnaflow Exhaust, Paint Matched Side Markers, S5 Steering Wheel, RS Shift Knob, Titanium Grill, 034 Rear Sway Bar, HPA Puck Mount, LM Reps and Falken tires = Approx. $3500 inc. Install costs for stuff I didn't do myself.

Total Cost = $23,750
Distance Driven to date = 20,xxx km

Cost/km = $1.18/km

Cost without Mods/km = $1.01/km
