Running cost?

[benm]

My highest is 640km and I still had 6L left

[franks]

you are all neglecting a few important things from the usual petrol and oils ...

insurance

registration

brake pads

tyres

my running cost works out to be about $1000 NETT a month.

this comprises of a $33.5k car lease + budgeted $5k a year worth of running costs (all aforementioned ie. insurance, servicing etc)

my car has ~200rwkw and averages 13L per 100km

[benm]

Well true, in that case mine is also $1000/mth (just think, I used to tell my gf on a regular basis that she cost too much to maintain... compared to a skyline I could have 4 gf's now).

But would one of them put that same silly grin on your face?

[benm]

No! but 4 would

[vhew]

Shesh $1000/month.....that's steep. How much are all of you under 25s paying for insurance for your skylines? Who are you with?

Hey, it is a myth about the 25 thing, the insurance doesn't drop just overnight. Always do a bit of looking around for the insurance as there is big $$ differences.

$1000 a month is probably pretty fair though, I would be in the vacinity of $1500 a month, but that is due to a hefty loan, but that will end this year.

I'm 21yo and paying $3k. I've also got loan repayments as well which makes up half of my car expenses.. and that won't be disappearing anytime soon

i spend around 40-50 bucks a week on fuel going to Uni, out with mates, cruising etc..

servicing once every 4-6 weeks (depending on how much i drive) which is under 100 for a regular (oil+oil filter and sometimes top up someother fluids) and around 300 with brake pads, sparks, etc etc..

insurance is 3600 a year but i dont owe anything on the car so thats around 600 bucks including insurance a month

oh yeah but thats without mods

[trick]

i had an r33 with 220 rwkw i had high/low boost switch which was great on fuel i got 400 to 420 ks per full tank.it depends on fuel ratio and very much on how heavy your right foot is
