Annual maintainance & repair costs?
A mechanic told me that the average car owner spends a little over $2,000 annually on maintainance and repair, per car. This seems high to me. (Although I have spent considerably more on my 73 450sl in the last year. With my 94 jag. xj6 I just spent $1,000 for a new fuel pump and air conditioning repairs, but other than that its only needed oil changes and some new brake pads & front rotors.)
I'm curious about what everyone else spends on average. |

Don't ever add it up, just throw the reciepts in a file and keep on driving. Had enough worries over the years. I just like driving my Benz and I know it's less than any Olds diesel ever made.

I don't track the costs. I typically buy needed parts for routine stuff in quantity, and for two or three cars at a time, depending on what's coming due. Log the maintenance on the PC, and despite my best efforts, seem to end up scrapping most of the receipts after the monthly statement is reconciled.
