Consolidating cars - thoughts?

[Tasmaniak]

you sure your doing your numbers right mate? With you driving such low kms, I can' imagine you saving $3k a year to drive a VX over a compact.

Ok....VB is 6000km/yr, 1.72/l for fuel, average 14L/100km. ($1440) VX is 11L/100km av., @ 1.55/L, 12,000km/yr. ($2046)

Now....rego for two cars is $1600/yr; comp. insurance is $1200 or so. NRMA road side assistance runs at about $300/yr for both cars. Combined service costs is $600 or so/yr.

Total fuel bill is $3500; total other items is $3700. $7200/yr total.

Now to go down to ONE car (i.e. selling VB AND VX) would halve the sundries bill - $1850/yr savings. If I were to get say a VW Polo and drive it 16,000km/yr (mileage less for I wouldn't be going on runs, cruises and to shows), fuel bill would be $1600 (assume 6.4L/100km, $1.55/L fuel) - save $1900. Total savings $3700/yr.

edit - if I wanted to go all greenie that would save 3.2 tonnes CO2/ yr

$1600 rego? dafuq?

$1200 insurance? dafuq? (I don't think I pay that for three cars!)

I have perfect solution for you.... WALK.

Rego with CTP works out at $800 per vehicle (includes rego and greenslip). My comprehensive policy for the VB and VX, combined through shannons is $1200 (iffy crash history).......

the wording, so bad.

ha.."pull up at"..i wrote it before my morning coffee..give me a break
point i'm getting at ford seems to think that marketing a car just at girls is a good idea but forget that guys buy them too....should have kept the xr8
