Car bought outright so, nothing.
Insurance, £94 i think
Fuel, £150ish
Other crap, £30 or so
Upgrades, as much as I have spare
 
Insurance £85 (that would be split monthly as I just paid in full)
Petrol £200
Tax - £20
Total - approx £305 a month

Last month it was also treated to Aux belt, power steering pump, spark plugs & air filter circa £800, makes me very sad writing that down!!
 
Insurance paid in full but would be £172 a month
I put £70 a week away for bits for the Clio
About £140 petrol
And just booked in for belt kit, new washer pump and 2 new PE3's not a good month haha

Or just shop around and not pounce on online quotes.

Unless he has loads of points or crashes i bet it could be had for a lot cheaper, like half the price or less.

OMGZ done it since i passed and had a claim

nothing was ever said but yes the proper way would be to say your main driver and have your dad as a secondary driver

Insurance - £58
Petrol - approx £50
Parking it near work!: £40
Tax: £20
Maintenance: Varies (last month it was 750 for timing belt kit/aux kit and 2 new tyres).
 
Having a loan is perfectly fine, aslong as your in a secure job and can pay your loan back. Its just a way of helping you out. I know for a fact i couldnt afford to pay £5000 for my car, 1200 insurance upfront, but can with ease pay back monthly.
 
Loan repayment £100
Insurance £45
petrol £45
tax£20

But I have only owned it a week and it's going in for the cam-belt/aux belt doing + a full service and stuff so that'll probably set me back £800 ish (but I knew this when I bought the car)
 
finance payment - £314
petrol - probally around £150 at the max
tax - £36 this year
Insurance £90 (should be cheeper come renewal in may)

i'll round it up to about £600

Monthly costs:
Insurance £260
Petrol £220
Tax, maintenance, AA etc.. £120 This month is car tax date :(
Cleaning £20
Other mad stuff : around £100

id say normally around £600 but this month i have my car tax :(
 
Insurance is roughly £250-300 for the time it's on the road.
Tax - £140ish for 6 months

Thats it. I do about 2k a year in it so thats works out about £500-600 on fuel over that period.
 
Trophy - insurance @ £375 a year, tax @ 235 a year. The just fuel as & when i take it out for a drive.

Slighthly different to last year, when i was doing 2-3k miles a month in it lol ...

I can't believe the money people are paying for insurane. Mine is £35 a month.

The chap prepared to pay £500 per month, £6000 a year, for insurance, tell me you're earning a very good salary and a home owner, not living at home with your parents, blowing all your income on a car as if that's the case, you'll look back in a few years with a lot of regret. £500 a month is 2/3 of a mortgage, at least a house being an asset that will appreciate in value unlike a car which will only depreciate.

That 500 quid he pays on insurance would pay a month on my morguage and a months juice in the 172 he is mad!
 
Insurance - £75 / month
Tax - £19.50 / month
Fuel - £200 / month (steady)
Mot - £50
Services - £40 / 6k miles all done myself

All this fun for around £300 per month, priceless ;)

Fuel increasing 5p per liter again!!! Thats the killer cost
 
Insurance: £64.33 (pay monthly)
Fuel: £80 - 100 (some gets given back to me)

In the 2 months or so I've had it I've only added an induction kit and air freshners.... no a huge costing!
