Running costs

1999 Octavia Slx Tdi Estate.

Now I have had this car for 4 years and covered 90000m(total on car is 134000) I decided to sit down and work out what it has costed me so far. I included purchase price to me of £4900, insurance £340year, Breakdown Cover, Tax Disc, Tyres, Servicing/maintenance/repairs and fuel estimated at 50mpg and a fuel cost of 95ppl (dont know exactly what the average is since 2004 so have guestimated)

Total running cost including purchase is £ 19389.20 over 4 years 90000m = 21.5ppm.

I actually thought it was costing me a lot to run so am pleasantly surprised by this.

Got it serviced and MOT'd today so that's good too.

I use my car for work and get expenses for this do about 12000m year so get approx £4500 for this so my private motoring costs me next to nothing.

Don't want to gloat though they say "pride comes before a fall".:eek:
