$2K a year in maintenance sounds like a Curse indeed. I have a 2013 Subaru Outback. I'm about to pay ~$1000 for major service and getting the rear brake pads replaced. The only other service I've had on it this year was an oil change in July. I got new tires last year, the front brake pads replaced the year prior. I don't think I've really had any other major expenses on it. Not sure where your $2K a year is coming from - could you elaborate? |
| Driving a 1998 Mercedes C Class. 320K miles on it. No problems. |
Another 20007 Honda here! |
| 2000 Mazda. Original owner. First and only car I've owned. 287,000 miles on it. In the past year or so she hasn't seemed quite as stable. Something seems off underneath the front but our mechanic can't figure out what the issue is and I don't want to spend dealership money repairing whatever they find. Figure we will likely have to get a new car in another year or so. DH drives a 2005 Acura. |
| 2008 bmw and 2007 Range Rover. |
| 1999 Jeep Cherokee 2-Door, but it is no longer my main daily driver. That thing is a beast and still runs strong with 222K miles. very little maintenance or problems and I used to drive it hard. |
| ‘96 Mustang GT, daily driver, 289,000 miles. |
You can buy brake pads for an Outback for $89. It takes about 20 minutes to install them. I just did this Christmas weekend when the weather was nice. What other major service are you talking about? |
| 1968 Plymouth Barracuda 392. Mostly original, rebuilt/restored 10 years ago. Gets driven 2-3 days a week in summer, and during nice weather weekends in winter. |
| '13 Hyundai Elantra with ~115k miles (commuter car) and '21 Mazda CX-5 with ~1k miles on it (our "nice" car, although DCUM will probably laugh at me for thinking a Mazda is nice) |
| 2002 VW. |
| 1975 Porsche 911 driven on nice days. |
| 1980 Chevy Celebrity |
| 1991 Volvo 240- was our only vehicle and driven daily up until 2 years ago, now serves as our backup car. 300k miles. |
