although that's just the out of pocket costs and doesn't include factory warranty work (~$500) or extended warranty work (~$2000), so the total maintenance costs (all repairs and maint., incl. oil changes, exclusive of gas) is closer to $10,000 for four years, or about $2500/year, ~$200/month.
That number is why I recommend people buy newer than they think they can afford. I paid about $14k for my car, figure $15k with tax. Divided by 48 months, ignoring interest, gives about $310 per month. Add to that the $200/month in maint. costs and we have about $510/month for four years, or about $25,000. $500/month over 60 months will buy you a new 30k car, which should let one avoid getting on a first-name-basis with the Saab service manager.
Why do I still own this car?
