Annual (average) repair and maintenance costs for a 5 year old car

[waterboy]

You did not mention how many miles per year you put on but that sounds really high. We average 10k per year on 2 2003 vehicles, one chevy one ford. Sure something will come up soon but being really generous here I’ll take it to the first 5 years as that was the point for new tires and brakes. 5 years 20 oil changes $500. filters I replace myself $200. Tires $600, Brakes $800. trans and coolant change $250. Alignment $150, plugs $250 $2750 divided by 5 = $550 per year
