I've got a 2000 SE that I bought in 2010. Put 63,000 miles on it, almost $10k in gas, and almost $5700 in service, including one timing belt & pulley swap (it's due for another real soon). Over those miles, my service cost is a mere 9 cents per mile., where my fuel cost is 16 cents per mile.
Not too bad, I don't think.
But I've seen the other side, and it sure is nice to have everything covered under warranty, and maybe even get a loaner while your car is being worked on.
All else being equal, though, I'd rather spend $1,000-$1,500/year when it needs it vs $6,000 or more per year whether I drive it or not for a loan or lease.
