How much do you spend on your car?

[Seito4Counter]

How much do you spend on your car on average, per month? (including parts and fuel)

 

[Burnout]

Oh sure, rub it in!

*Goes off and crawls into a fetal position under his desk.*

 

[Seito4Counter]

Haha. More to find out how much people are willing to spend for maintenance and gas. (Nice Site btw)

 

[Klostrophobic]

If I had a car, I would guess somewhere in the 200 dollar range if you were to include insurance costs.

 

[Spock]

I Pay The Square Root Of Zero Dollars On My Car For The Entire TIme I've Had It, This Also Includes The Amount It Was

 

[Squid]

Im getting a Cadillac in a few days and im spending $0.00 on it because im getting it for free. But then ill have to pay for gas and stuff so i dont know.

$160 a month in Gas, $80 a month in insurance, and usually a oil change once a month ($30). Yes, I drive alot. No car payment as it's paid off.

My wife's truck goes about $40 a month in gas, $80 a month in insurance, and a $283/month payment. We're making double payments on it, so it's $566 a month.

Total: $956

AO

I spend like nothing on my, bike (Kawasaki 250cc Ninja) fuel is about it and it doesnt use all that much. I gues the insurance is expensive but i cant be screwed working it out.

 

[GilesGuthrie]

About £50 in fuel, £20 in insurance, £10 in road tax. 3 free weekends in the last six months has paid for the car.

You change your oil once a month? In the span of a month you travel 3000 miles? Ouch sucks to be you

 

[Mike Rotch]

About $30 in fuel, $40 in insurance and $60 in parking fees

Edit: Oh yea. Small matte of month payments on wheels. About $200.

I'm sorry to say but I have to agree too...
Voted for the last for sure...

Insurence is about $100/month, and I normally get gas 1 time during a month(last time I got gas was on 2/4, I'm still on the same tank with a tad under half a tank left, I don't go driving around everywhere so I don't use much gas), so I'd say about $120. Parts aren't needed now(cause the 323 is teh reliability vehicle), and labor would be free.

 

[emad]

woops, forgot to factor in insurance...change my monthly spendings from the $1-200 (gas only) to $600/month

 

[TS1AWD]

I spend way too much! Like the saying goes.. "If I werent racing, I'd be wealthy."
Especially in the summer time when the tracks are open and im spending $30 bucks a week to go to the strip every weekend, and aftermarket parts are arriving at my door constantly to make it faster ... I spend average of $25 a week on gas (Sunoco 94 octane).. thats all I put in it. Most of my income goes towards my car.

 

[miata13B]

Spend more then 3 grand a month on it. . . just because I am doing fast payments and putting extra parts on

 

[Rumple Foreskin]

$20 bucks a day on gas in the summer, and a couple bucks here and there for the car wash.

 

[1X83Z]

$8670.28 this month. Plus the cost of the car.

On that girlie Mercedes you bought? How the **** did you manage to spend that much on that thing?

You could've had your ear fixed for that much, y'know?

 

[toyomatt84]

100 to 200 if I averaged out how much I spend a year. I save by fabricating and buying used. But yet, I still win. Save + Win =

 

[Takumi Fujiwara]

Not much. I'm honestly letting things that I'd otherwise fix remain broken (minor things, like A/C, trim, etc) as I'm saving for something better, which I should be able to get in about two months.

 

[miniMADness]

You've got a Benz...dont you?

 

[boombexus]

Car payment: 354
Insurance payment: 209
Gas: 60 +/-
Windshield wiper fluid: 1.63
Total: 624.63

This month I had my 60,000 tune-up.
60K mile tune-up: 954

 

[Klostrophobic]

Doug, you've only logged 155.9 miles in 3 days.

And you spelled separated wrong.

And you spent $8670.28 on a supercharger and some frills to help you navigate the US.

And you suck.

These last 3 months have been BRUTAL!!! 2 Cv Axels, New rims and tires, Tie-Rod, FUll exhaust (It ****ing Broke ) and all the usual stuff... needless to say my student loan is running low

 

[Griffin]

$136.78 (car payment), $195 (insurance), and $60 (gas). All, yes ALL of my income goes into my car. Atleast untill I pay it off.

For this road trip I got a road trip car which I'm going to use far into the future, well after the road trip, assuming it still runs. It's a 2004 Explorer Eddie Bauer, but I thought it was a little under-specced, so I added a navigation system, front television, front DVD player, automatic headlights, ski racks, a remote starter, a supercharger, and about ten other minor things. Hence the high price total. Though it'll probably be just as bad in March because of all the gas I'll use.

You could've had your ear fixed for that much, y'know?

Why? Farm animals can't tell the difference, they think I'm sexy either way.
