Cost of car maintenance?
Anybody else keep tab or know how much their beloved car costs to maintain? I have a 2003 1.6 Zafira since 2/10/2010 and so far it has cost £2479.84 not including tax or insurance. Works out at £79.41 month. All we have had is the usual tyres odd exhaust and the odd normal things you would expect of a car that age, Nothing major, but it is surprising how it all adds up
Includes every drop of oil, every light bulb etc. Also two cam belt changes and partial exhaust, brakes etc. I use a very cheap mechanic but do quite high mileage.

Holy sh1t, that's a ridiculous amount to spend on a cheap family hatch if it excludes tax and insurance! Are you sure those figures are correct?
I've spent about £500 a year on average in servicing and replacement parts on a Jag XJR over the two and a bit years I've had it, about half what you're spending on a Zafira!!

I agree with Evelyn,that's a vast sum to be spending running a run of the mill family car,especially when you say nothing major has gone wrong and tax and insurance aren't included. Either you must be doing a high mileage or getting it serviced etc by someone with scary high labour charges. It should be costing you about half that if you're doing 10-12k miles a year.
