I keep track of all my vehicles in a spreadsheet which makes it easy to do some calculations. Here's my fleet and the $/mile etc. for each since I've owned them and the years/miles are estimated to keep the years whole numbers:
Of course the W8 is an expensive car to own so no suprise there as it approaches 20 years old. Lots of large repairs and maintenance bits. ~$1/mile....AHHAHAAHA Folks aren't lying when they say run when you say you want one! I love it.
The Lexus was my folks' vehicle and is now my 18 year old High Schooler's. Tires/battery/f+r brakes and the oil cooler line all add up to be a lot for the few years we've had it as my folks didn't do much beyond fluid changes and basic things and it was in need when they gave it to us but it was free so zero cares given. Should be solid for years to come.
My daily is the Sportwagen which is heavily modded with lots of different tires, brake pads, and a water pump/thermostat just out of warranty plus somewhat excessive maintenance as I beat the crap out of it, track, etc. so that is no surprise either. It would be in-line with the Atlas if not I think - the water pump is part of a class action lawsuit that I have submitted info for as it's v. common to fail and I hope to get my $1,150 back at some point...we'll see!
Atlas is my wife's daily and is still under the amazing post-dieselgate 6/72 warranty so I expect the cost to be low - tires/battery/f. brakes is about it out of pocket for major non-oil change type costs.
Focus is unreal - such a great car for my oldest who is in college. Manual helps that one out as the DCT was a hot mess. Never regret buying this as my daily commuter.
Let's see yours if you want to participate!
Disclaimer - my costs are purely maintenance/repairs. No washer fluid. No car washes/supplies. No upgrades etc. Only things I have to do to operate it.
