Hi all,
I am about to purchase an 05 G35 this weekend and I was wondering how much you guys pay each month for all expenses related to the car.
(Monthly, Gas, Insurance, Maintenanc) Also how much is property tax for the car. I know this is a fairly general question, but I just want to know how much money I will be setting aside to have this car. Thanks for the help.

 

Gas prices suck now! Jumped 42 cents! Now I pay as much gas to fill up my G with premium as it takes to fill up my Escalade with regular =/ Roughly 50$ a tank and it's my daily driver.

 

hmm I get away with 40-44 bucks a tank... you playing fuel light bingo?

 

damn, this is gonna kill my pockets lol. My gas tank now is smaller, but better mileage with the RSX, but its gonna take some getting used to when I go to my local BP and fill er' up.

please have EKG and paramedics on standby for the first few fuelings.

 

Ouch Sorry CA'ers. I live in MD and to fill up my tank with premium its about $36-$37. Anyways I drive a lot so about a tank a week.

130 a month for gas
100 a month for insurance
430 a month for the car
17 a month for oil change (every 2 months but divide the cost by 2)
another for 20 bux for car supplies (washing soap etc)


Thats about it I guess

 

I pay 300-400 for gas each month.....300 for the car, 150 for insurance

 

With a brand new car, your maintenance should be little, 15K service, 30K service? I usually do the 15's and 30's myself (have not hit 30K yet) as they are not very comprehensive, mostly just check this and check that, oil change and cabin filter. Your big expenses will be the car payment (if applicable), insurance, gas and to plan for new tires (rears for sure) before 20K miles if you actually drive the car much? Another consideration is mods? You may say, I will not mod, but if at all an enthusiast, you will do some minor mods at the least? All in all, this car will be just like any other car to maintain, your insurance will save a bit being a "4" seater and not a "sportscar".

 

Well lets see......$84 a month for insurance..$607 a month payment....@$150 a month for gas. Then theres the Mod bug. That will vary highly.

 

$50 on insurance, $60 on gas (I only drive it on weekends), and save up $100 on tires and future maintenance costs, tools, etc.... so about $210-$220 give n' take a few.

I times that by 2 since I have another toy car, my cooper-s.
and also pay for my beater which is much less.

 

$50? That's what I paid to buy my first car! (1950 Ford)

 

i pay about $400 a month for insurance, my car payments are only $290 but i send $1000 a month (almost all paid off) and i only use about a tank of gas a month becuase i only drive my G on weekends,(got 2 other cars) so about $50 a month for gas and i wash it every saturday mornign for 2 dollars at the local car wash, so i pay about $1500 a month for my G, but in like 3 months i will only be paying about $500, when its all paid off, then i can start saving for a house.

 

$470 loan payment
$195 insurance
~$30/week gas = $120/mo
$60 oil change every 2 mos = $30/mo
$20/mo random expenses (windshield washer & other fluids, random cleaning stuff)

= around $835/mo, note this does NOT include any mod expenses

 

Almost $5k a year for insurance? Holy cow.

 

$208 a month car payment
$30 a month for gas
$150 insurance (1800 total per year)

oil changes... hmm figure on $10 per month as well.

ppp

 

$445 car payment
$115 insurance
$50 gas, weekend car.

Bills say I owe about $18k left on her but I swear it never feels like progress!
