Car is a VW Golf 1.6 TDI BlueMotion Tech Match 5dr with a few optional extras selected (as above I pay an extra £100 per year for the extras). To answer the other poster who queried, I was eligible for the car allowance which is £3800 at my place of work however as at the time of getting the car I had just bought a house I lacked ready funds to pick up a decent car within the restrictions imposed upon us when taking the car allowance.

About £700 insurance, £200 tax, god knows with fuel. I'll be needing a whole new set of tyres soon so that's £250, oh and the MOT next month, the exhaust seems to have fallen off one of its mounts again, may need a new cat to pass emissions test, bonnet never really shuts properly..

Good thing I've got a credit card with a healthy limit!

Wow is that how much they are worth now! I guess at the end of the day it is still a 11 year old Fiesta!

Ford focus 1.6 2005

Insurance = £340
Fuel = £2900
Tax = £170
MoT = £21
Maintenance = £1600ish
Major service, Cambelt, water pump, tensioners, brake pads, brake discs, tyres, rear hub assemblies, coolant leak, wipers, wheel alignment.

Over 5000 in a year, more than I thought!

Maintenance has cost me nearly as much as it's worth, but hopefully it should run for a while longer yet now the cambelt is finally done, had been putting it off for ages.

2007 Peugeot 206 1.4

Purchase date: January 2012
Cost to buy: £1000.
Depreciation estimate = £200/2 years

I move jobs in a few weeks so my mileage will be more then halved which will reduce my petrol costs dramatically. Thinking I might treat myself to something a little sportier when this one dies :D
