Solar Turbocharged October 29, 2017 Share October 29, 2017 bro this is too detailed... i think main info for TS is the 1k per month haha... btw your mileage quite high... Good to be more detailed.. I think it's helping people do their budgeting before committing themselves to buy a car. My young nephew backed out after I explained all the possible expenses.. initially he thought it's simply buy car, road tax, insurance, parking and petrol. He didn't think about the maintenance required.. And even servicing cat bought first hand with AD may possibly still need to pay for wear and tear stuff. @apple-tree What's car prayer set $25 per accident?? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nzy Twincharged October 29, 2017 Share October 29, 2017 Insurance - $800 Petrol - $2000 Road Tax - $1500 Maintenance - $800 Depreciation - $7000 Yearly costs around there. So its about $1000+ a month if include depreciation. But for my own calculations I don't add in depreciation since I didn't take loan. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
