you are all neglecting a few important things from the usual petrol and oils ... ;)

insurance

registration

brake pads

tyres

my running cost works out to be about $1000 NETT a month.

this comprises of a $33.5k car lease + budgeted $5k a year worth of running costs (all aforementioned ie. insurance, servicing etc)

my car has ~200rwkw and averages 13L per 100km

Well true, in that case mine is also $1000/mth (just think, I used to tell my gf on a regular basis that she cost too much to maintain... compared to a skyline I could have 4 gf's now).

But would one of them put that same silly grin on your face? ;)

Hey, it is a myth about the 25 thing, the insurance doesn't drop just overnight. Always do a bit of looking around for the insurance as there is big $$ differences.

$1000 a month is probably pretty fair though, I would be in the vacinity of $1500 a month, but that is due to a hefty loan, but that will end this year.

i spend around 40-50 bucks a week on fuel going to Uni, out with mates, cruising etc..

servicing once every 4-6 weeks (depending on how much i drive) which is under 100 for a regular (oil+oil filter and sometimes top up someother fluids) and around 300 with brake pads, sparks, etc etc..

insurance is 3600 a year but i dont owe anything on the car so thats around 600 bucks including insurance a month

oh yeah but thats without mods :D

    • Well, fun day was had, I finally found a house that will do me just fine, 1980's brick build, but with full fresh renovations, plus new colour bond fencing all round so puppies are incoming 🐕, and water tanks for the garden, and it's located in West Goulburn..... @Duncan 🫡, so day trips to Wakie to watch cars going Zoom will be on the cards In the end it cost well under my budget and was actually better than alot of the more expensive joints I was looking at, it is in a good area, close enough to the shops, public transport, and the Wollondilly River Weir,  and the great walking paths along the river, but far enough away from town to see minimal traffic The deposit is dropped, the conveyancer is conveyancing and I should get the keys in a week or 2 as the property is currently unoccupied  As with everything I own, I'm doing up a modifications list, as it doesn't have solar, that is first up on the big list, all of the panels and enough batteries to keep the joint warm, or cool, followed by a largish carport out the front, the small list, which will start as soon as I have keys, is some security stuff, like cameras, screens, and the usual "crazy prepper" additions that weird old people like (mouse holes to stick shot guns out of, and the usual man traps that the average person installs for the unsuspecting and unwanted guests 🤣) The gardens front and back are OK, but, not to my standards or liking, so landscaping will be a fun job to start getting into, so when spring is sprung I'll do a heap of planting, lots of natives and vegetables is the plan, the old owners were more "Old English Garden" type, so basically Roses and other weird looking things that are destined for the green waste bin One thing that is staying garden wise is a nice established hedge out the front, it is about 5 foot tall and covers the whole front of the property from prying eyes As for the car hoist, the roof in the garage has some height to it, but, I'll need to get an installer out to see what can be done, width wise may be a issue, but my building inspector will be getting back to me over the next week with his recommendations  Small, but cosy
