2003 2.3 lpt wagon with 65K miles, my out-of-pocket (non-warranty) maintenance cost is 2.8 cents per mile to date.
I did all maintenance/ repair works, above and beyond recommended schedule maintenance items. major expenses are 2 sets of new fog light assys ($150 a pop, too bad busted glass can not simply be replaced......installed protected film after busting 2nd one), 2nd sets of Kumho ASX tires after original OEM P6, and a set of new front brake pads/ rotors, and a new engine mount.
With the warranty expired, I think the cost/ mile could creep up a little as I pile up more miles. I like everything with Kumho but rather short life <30K, and wondering to try another tire next time, due soon. Then I am fighting the urge with ECU upgrade + a few go fast parts that could easily double up the figure....
I am also curious to see what's the cost rate with others.
