How much would you say you pay, on average, to maintain or repair your car, including scheduled service. My car is 5 1/2 years old and I’m averaging about $3000/year. That seems high. The service person (at the dealer) says “well, your car is 5 years old.” I didn’t think 5 years is that old…

Well, no. So to be fully accurate, for the last 2 years, I have spent about $3000-$4000/year on repairs and maintenance for this car. My warranty gave out 2 years ago, I guess.
