2 vehicles no car payments
$2K ins for 2 vehicles
$2.5K in gas @17K miles(2 vehicles)

Sub $1K in oil changes and repairs. One did go to the shop costing $500.

"three fifty" is more worn out on this board than Kamala Harris' front butt.

I dont understand why LA is struggling to figure out public transportation when my neighbor Rich offers free mustache rides every night.

No sure the total.

No car payments
Bare minimum liability
Do oil changes myself.
Wife’s car needed brakes, did myself.

It’s prob been 20 years since I’ve been in a shop paying for a vehicle service. Only major issue was wife’s alternator went out once, but was able to change myself as well. Buy Toyota and YouTube is your friend. Never trust an auto mechanic.

My note is $505/month but it's 0% interest

$6060 payments
$300 oil changes
~$2500 in fuel
Will be changed the brakes soon so another $100-150 for that.

Insurance is 2x$950 for a Kia Forte GT which pisses me off because I barely drive the damn thing. I paid over $1.50/mile on insurance. I've had the car for 20 months and it has 3k miles on it, but I get fricked because nobody else in Louisiana has insurance apparently. If Landry wants to build some prisons and turn them over to private companies, fill them up with people driving without insurance. 2nd offense should be a six month term and go up from there.

No breakdowns, I'll change the oil in January when I get home while topping off blinker fluid and changing air in the tires to winter air.

$800ish for new set of tires was the biggest bogey. Otherwise, standard year. Do have to replace a windshield too.

Truck is paid for, no note.

Had to do a freeze plug back in November.

$1200, $6 for a new freeze plug and $20 for a new motor mount.

The remainder was labor charge !
