Out of curiosity, I was looking at my aCar app on my phone, which I use to keep track of all of my car expenses.
I have owned my E30 for 25 months.
Including the cost of the car ($2000), I've spent $20155 and I have driven just over 120,000 km.
10% was cost of the car
56% of my expenses has been fuel ($11,247)
34% has been servicing, repairs and expenses. This figure includes regular maintenance, repairs, insurance, and licensing fees.
Gas on average has cost me $450/month. But I also drive a shit ton.
If I tally the cost of the car, and servicing/expenses, I come out to $352/month or $88/week. I did some quick looking at new cars and how much a monthly payment just for the car would be, assuming a minor trade and no money down, and I was looking at $450 month and up PLUS expenses and plus fuel.
I think I'm doing ok, all things considered.
