Currently just maintenance things. Don't want to be doing anything else to it as I want a new car next year.

Its currently in for service and MoT so it'll go up after this weekend by another few £££. That's no modifications or aftermarket things just general running costs to get to work and back.

I've done less miles than normal this year so only running at 15,850 miles up to now which equates to a total cost per mile of 26ppm.


Living life on the edge there, lee

So glad i'm not this anal.


Never done it before but my bank sent me an annual statement showing where the majority of my spending was and it was between the local petrol station and the pub in the village so this year, I've just kept a record. Do it at work so technically, I'm being paid to do it

Injectors and fuel pump?


Wheel bearings all round, suspension rebuild all round, rear tyres and a replacement loom section for faulty ABS. Barely spent anything in the 2 years before though.

I don't think he means spending things on routine maintenance, it'll be more towards extras like alloys, exhausts etc.

Currently I don't spend any money on cars unless things are required. Mainly because of saving up to move.


Fairly easy to justify if you're only spending what is needed, the justification is you needed it


This.

I really don't understand the point of this thread.

Meanwhile the price of 355's will slowly creep up...

And you'll have to pay for your daughter growing up etc etc. Judging by my sister, girls cost more aw they grow older.
