After shelling out 1800 blips (euro) for clutch/service/gearbox bits and pieces/2 CV joints/labour, and in the process of having my wife permanently in my ear (since yesterday) harping on about cost of ownership. The car is in great nick and I've taken good car of it and got all new parts when required, including a full body panel re-spray once the cills were done.
Anyway, the car didn't cost me a cent since last July, and it worth about 3k more than I bought it for orignally.
I try to explain that depreciation on a 05/06 car would be 3 times the current costs in one year alone, assuming that 05 car has no issues of its own.
My question is this. Aside from Insurance and Petrol, what does your 44 cost per month in parts&repairs/servicing/labour etc. Just purely costs to keep the car running smoothy.
So far for me, it's 1800 for the past year (and the past 2 days) so thats ......(counting on my fingers)....150 a month (Euro).
To me, thats perfectly acceptable, and not "acceptable for a Porsche", but acceptable for any decent car.
What do you reckon?
Any negative feedback or "You're wife is right" will be met with certain death...
