dont add up what you`ve spent on your syncro

+1

I stopped after a year as it was starting to get disturbing!

Very good advice and if it makes anybody feel better I worked out my syncro is costing me about $3 per km so far. I've done 10,000km in my syncro since ownership. Zero has been spent fixing up my house. This is only possible as a bachelor by the way

I have an app on my iPhone which records my fill ups and service items. Since the April 09 Fuel, repairs and improvements £5325. Eeeeek
That includes a gearbox rebuild £1200 (so far), new wheels and tyres £810. So hopefully the next year and a bit shouldn't be so expensive.

Maybe I should LPG it. 2011 litres of fuel at a cost of £2171.74.

Just did an LPG savings calculation. Would save me about £600 a year so would take about 2 years to pay off the conversion.

It could be worse!
You could have a regular car.
BMW 330d M-series. Fun ride, fast & 45mpg. Lost 5 grand in one year!

See, told you the syncro makes sense!!

How can you afford an iPhone AND a Syncro?

Business expense Shame I can't disguise the Syncro as one as well. Would save me a wodge of cash.

I have receipts and everything for my Syncro. I started to add it all up a while back and I started with the shipping costs. That was enough to scare me so I stopped the exercise
