How Much Has Your Car Cost You?

[procta]

The HDI some were close to the 3.4k marker, that would be the total of tyres, crank pulley, timing belt, exhausts, servicing, odds n sods, brakes panels and paint.

The metro side, are you wanting to know what the total was for the gta or the current one?

[cheapo]

£250, since that's the purchase price and I've done no work on it yet.

If you read the post it excludes purchase price.

So you've not taxed or insured it or put any fuel in it?

Ah, right, yes, no.
 
Tax, DVLA aren't taking the first payment till the 28th, so that's ......................................................... £0
I'm still using the 2/3 of a tank of deisel that was in since purchase, so that's ....................................... £0
In Sewer Ants (insurance) was tranfered from my Astra, so won't make a payment on that till next month £0
Vinegar! I bought white vinegar to make up a 50/50 mix spray to clean the glass, worked brilliantly too!   £0.20
I did wash the Pug, but I didn't take a bath, so that cancels out.

So, £0.20 since purchase ten days ago.

Insurance £2700 (£266 per month)  -_-

Holey Moley !!! Makes me glad I'm 62!  My quote was £19 per month and it'll go over to that once the current "car swap" fee (type of thing) is payed off.

For some reason I expected you to be a lot younger...tends to be young people that are tight... Me included.

Nathans insurance is ridiculous tbh, most of us young whippersnappers don't pay anywhere near that lol.

Can't remember his name but there was a guy in his 70s on here.

Was that the ex serviceman that signed off with 612? absolute legend of a bloke in fairness!

[Toms306]

It was indeed.

I think fiscal responsibility skipped a generation tbh. £19 a month is ridiculous though, thought i was doing well at £400 a year for a heavily modified car, can't wait for that!

[Matt-Rallye]

Fiscal responsibility? Im gearing up to live in my man cave so i can save £700+ every month on fuel and rent

Ahh, that reminds me of my V6 Cavalier from a few, hmm, 8 years ago. 

Anyway, to get back on topic. I still haven't put any fuel in the Pug yet after 275 miles of ownership !!!!
