Annual Maintenance / Repair Cost

[pattypape]

Good Morning,

Since I am the first to wake up in the East , I will try to answer,
This is always a good discussion with various inputs.
I would also check MPG, some have suggested under 5 others up to
10MPG, depending on Model, engine and total weight.

I would guess at $5K per year for the next four years, depending on
condition,
this is maintenance, some up-grades, and things that need fixed
before the first long trips. Every desire does not need to be
fullfilled in the first year. This also assumes the drive train does
not need major repairs.
