1 years running costs 06 model
Owned car a year almost to the day and just had an add up for one years spend.
This includes cambelts, fanbelt and all pulleys and tensioners, two pirelli tyres, 3 x oil changes, gearbox sump and oils, v8 front discs and pads, a few sensors, wiper blades, A pillar trim clips, rear arch rubber finishers, egr blanks, rubber mats etc.
All repairs by me so no labour costs.
Not incl mot and road tax etc, it came to 1530.00 pounds not to sad I reckon.
Conversely my boat cost 1440.00 just to park the thing!

I don't think that's too bad, I think you will always spend more in your first year of ownership to get niggles sorted out that maybe the previous owner was not too bothered about.

I‘m seriously thinking about chopping mine in and getting something that comes with 2yr warranty as std
I‘m sure the PCP payments and fuel will work out cheaper than what I‘m paying out now Iggy/Ieuan

Nope 500 quid.
I was only counting repair costs/parts etc in my equation as everyone pays road tax/insurance and mot.
