Cost of ownership
I have asked other questions on this forum and I do appreciate the
responses I have received. I have been building a spreadsheet to try to estimate the real cost of owning a vintage Bluebird. I love the look and would enjoy repairing/restoring the systems at my leisure prior to retirement. The price range I am looking at is under $30,000 for a 1984 or older FC 33 TO 35. Given that price range I would expect to have lots of small things to fix. Also given the age, I would expect higher incidence of failure in in basic engine/transmit ion/chassis systems over say, a 10 year time span.. Would it be reasonable to estimate $700/year for routine maintenance and $1000/year for unplanned maintenance averaged over a ten year time span? (assuming I don't need an engine rebuild) I am really trying to determine the value as the clock ticks on 20 to 25 year old coaches. They may be well built, but so was I 40 years ago! Gardner |
