Zebra 10 #1 Posted March 26, 2009 (edited) How much would you say it costs you on a weekly or even daily basis to run your car? I hadn't even thought about it, except it doesn't seem to be too bad, I have an exceptionally reliable car. However, I was amazed to find, it's probably just under £7 per day.

Zebra 10 #5 Posted March 26, 2009 I wish I hadnt bothered. Go on, how much? I was amazed but my car will have the longevity to last me longer than I expected, I aimed for five years but I'm almost at that already and the depreciation isn't as bad as most cars.

Zebra 10 #6 Posted March 26, 2009 £9.15 per day Ouch! Is it worth it? I'd pay more on public transport, mostly because I live 15 miles away from civilisation So my car is worth its weight in gold! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

the_rudeboy 12 #12 Posted March 26, 2009 Good grief! That's just about double mine. Is it worth it? I was surprised myself. Maybe i've been a little bit conservative with my estimate on it value in a few years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
