How much does your A2 cost to run?
Here's my actual costs from the last 4 full fiscal years + this year todate.
In all of them I have estimated depreciation at £1,000 pa. I paid £11K for the car and intend to keep it for 11 years (or more). I appreciate that depreciation is not linear. If I had the time I could research the used car price guides but it might be difficult to do that in retrospect.
In Summary:
Year_ _Mls_ _p/ml
05/06 9,772 19 free breakdown insurance
06/07 9,409 25 service
07/08 9,315 29 tyres x 4
08/09 8,032 36 service + cambelt change
09/10 1,886 35 April-July
Note: spreadsheet says Petrol but it's a Diesel (a hang-over from the previous car)
Fuel costs have risen steadily though reduced in this current year. Tyres, Servicing and cambelt costs are the biggest variables. So far there has been no repairs. The current mileage is just over 50,000.
