Recording my recent oil change in my Excel spreadsheet, I decided to play around with some numbers.
I have had my 2004 9-5 Aero sedan (auto) for 28 months and have put 36,000 miles on it. I drive it like I stole it.
If you ignore all scheduled maintenance (tires, brakes, spark plugs, belt) the darn thing has cost me $627 in an ATF flush, a DI cassette, coolant bypass valve, and some PCV stuff. Oh, and two window rollers.
If you throw EVERYTHING (brakes, plugs, belt, battery, etc) in except tires and oil changes, it has cost $1,337 to keep going.
Not too shabby...
