WRX Cost Analysis. OMG!
 

I have Not had my car for a year yet!
And I have dropped this much of my income into it. I think of myself as a conservative when it comes to modding compared to some people I see on i-club and the like. I had to sit down and figure this out because I thought I was spending too much on food :? and I wanted to compare my other expenses.

Payments:
383.00x8=3064 (payments since ownership)

Insurance:
2400 1 year, ouch! :x

And the large OTHER catagory:
Wheels:1500
Tires:205
SCCA dues:150
Springs:200
Shift Knob:50
Car Cleaning Equipment:100(easily for me)
CD player:279
Tint:180

Gas:ummm..nevermind
What else did i forget. a lot I bet.

Total So far(list needs editing I'm sure): $8138.00

Dizam... that actually makes me glad we have used cars for a minute. Not a car payment among them.

Ford Mustang - 100,000 miles
Mazda 626 - 128,000 miles
Jeep Cherokee - 160,000 miles

Of course, one of them breaks something else that I have to fix every week... dammit.

:lol:

AHhahaahahahh! I don't even want to know where I'm at over the last 2 years for my car... but something tells me, if I didn't have mods on the WRX, it'd be paid for by now. :lol:

Close to you Tyson -

Payments 370.25$ x 12 = 4,443.00 year

Insurance x 12 = 1,440.00 year

Gas 15.00$ per week x 48 = 720.00 year

Oil Changes 30.00$ x 8 = 240.00 year

-----------

Wheels and Tires - 2 Sets - 1,375.00

'Other' Mods - Easily 1,000.00

-----------

SCCA Race Fee's = 80.00$
Drag Race Fee's = 25.00$
Meals/Beer at the meets = Who the hell knows!

-----------

So within the first year I figure near the 10,000$ mark. Ouch :cry:

+ Car washes - @$7, x 40/yr - $280
:lol:

Oil changes - ($24/Mobil 1, + $20 labor/filter/disposal) x 6/yr = $264

Tire changes, rotations - ($20/tire x 4) x 4 incidents/yr - $320 --
well, get a deal going with Sid, and the price drops to less than $20/tire.
:wink:

I dont bother calculating this kind of stuff.. with payments in the $600 range every month and my consistant gas use.. lol, it would be rather depressing.

car since purchased two years ago... 30,000 including gas payments insurance, oil and the large other section.

now for the scary part...

bike since purchased 6 months ago 28,000 including gas, insurance, oil, parts and cleaning supplies.

god help us all, no wonder i cant afford a house yet... :(

1. 2004 WRX
2. 2002 Jetta 1.8T
3. New EVO !!!



Down Payments, ....... Priceless !!!! :lol: :lol:

Oh Yeah!!
Let's not forget INS. PAYMENTS !!!! :shock: :lol:

Hey !! How about Gas (All 3 vehicles require Super Unleaded) !!!

Does the Jetta REQUIRE it? Or do you just do it anyway.

Yeah, because of the fact that it is a turbo charged engine.. It does require it unfortunately :roll:
