I bought mine in November 23 and so far Id say €1000 ish so not bad considering I've a bit to do yet. I think these are the type of cars you need to get to a certain level of maintenance as in do all the jobs you need to like fluids, brakes etc. Once you have them done you would be hoping for reliability

so far after eight months ownership, I think I've spent ~£1700. Four new tyres, timing belt change and equipment to carry out an oil change oh and new front grill badge and smoked side repeaters, crikey more likely £1800. |

I try not to think about it too much, it's a totally irrational purchase and I love it to bits.

No idea how much I've spent as I'm never going to get it back. I'd not want to have less than £5k per year set asside for repairs and maintenance though if anyone is looking at this to budget their potential ownership costs. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322) |

When I sold the 3.6 to get the 4.4, I looked back through all the service invoices etc. I found that I'd hit nearly £50k in twelve years (160k miles)!

I have kept a spreadsheet to itemise everything since my purchase on 28th December. My objective is to get my car to immaculate condition. I’ve allocated every item to one of three buckets: Restoration, Maintenance, Upgrades.

With the username recordman, shouldn't you have an exact record?
