Earlier in May, my daily driver completed 6 years since I bought it new and now going into its 7th year.
I added up (actually MS Excel added it up for me since I keep an expense log on all my vehicles) my MAINTENANCE COSTS including HST.
$521.27 or $86.88 per year. Actually that also included my oil change for my 7th year as well, so it would be less than $86.88 per year.
Mobil 1 synthetic (CTC & Walmart), oil filter & sealing ring, air filter, cabin filter, brake fluid and engine antifreeze (Honda/Acura dealer). And the enjoyable time to perform it all so that it is done right.
And all this talk about ICE vehicles being expensive to maintain. Really?
