On my daily driver, in 6 months, i have spent $1200 in term of maintainance, rego and initial cost. So its cost me about $200 a month to have this car, not including petrol and insurance as running costs. Now its blowing smoke and wont last much longer. Considering this was a daily with few luxuries, im not going to spend anymore money on it, do you reckon i got value for my money?
What are other people running costs on their daily on just essential upkeep?
