WRX Cost Analysis. OMG! - Subaru Enthusiasts Car Club of the Sierras

tysonK · 2003-10-13, 10:04 PM

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!

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.

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.

ArthurS · 2003-10-14, 08:01 AM

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

dknv · 2003-10-14, 11:40 AM

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

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.

dayofpain · 2003-10-14, 04:51 PM

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.

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