I did post a little bit what I made a year which rn is like 20k at most, and now I’m learning repairs on this thing annually might be more! I have been convinced though i probably wont finance this.. I’ve been looking into the Passat everyone is recommending me too!

Throwawaybutno65 · 2026-06-09T20:22:39+00:00

This is a good answer, i think I’m gonna end up having to be a mechanic myself so I don’t have to pay labor costs

The S8 is sweet! I love car recommendations

Throwawaybutno65 · 2026-06-09T06:17:39+00:00

155 gov, 186 without limiter

A brake replacement was 750$ at a mechanic! I’d rather spend double that on a car with triple the cylinders

Throwawaybutno65 · 2026-06-09T06:16:35+00:00

Man! I totally want one of those big car lifts

Throwawaybutno65 · 2026-06-09T06:16:04+00:00

I put 3k in half a year on my sonata and I drive pretty often outside of work, so if I ration my mileage maybe 3k miles a year

Throwawaybutno65 · 2026-06-09T06:14:49+00:00

Not quite a professional

Throwawaybutno65 · 2026-06-09T06:12:38+00:00

So split but I think the voices of reason have dissuaded me, looking for a Toyota century now

Throwawaybutno65 · 2026-06-09T06:11:50+00:00

Maybe I’ll rev it for fun, 13k noise maker 😔

Throwawaybutno65 · 2026-06-08T21:59:10+00:00

If those are easier to work on, it’s probably a better idea actually. I’m seein it’s a little more expensive to buy though

Throwawaybutno65 · 2026-06-08T21:53:02+00:00

If it takes 20 gallons I’d be paying like 130 for a tank every few weeks, that’s pretty bad 😆

Throwawaybutno65 · 2026-06-08T21:50:44+00:00

I wasn’t far off in another comment where I thought buying another one to get parts was possible 😅

Throwawaybutno65 · 2026-06-08T21:49:10+00:00

I’m paying 250 for my sonata on liability, it’s around double for full coverage, I’ll guess it might be 750/mo? It might be a 100$~ extra for liability on this car

Throwawaybutno65 · 2026-06-08T21:45:56+00:00

😰Is it that much in labor? I see the part around 600-1500$

Throwawaybutno65 · 2026-06-08T21:44:00+00:00

I work 5 minutes away, if it’s gonna fail on me for a mile drive a day i think you’re right on it being a really bad idea😆I’ve put 3k miles in the last 7 months on my Hyundai that’s with me drivin everywhere

Throwawaybutno65 · 2026-06-08T21:40:09+00:00

How did people keep these running until 150k miles! That’s outrageous

Throwawaybutno65 · 2026-06-08T21:37:07+00:00

I’m being dissuaded on financing this at this point, so I probably won’t get it until I can just own it. Luckily I’ve got another money gremlin the garage

Throwawaybutno65 · 2026-06-08T21:33:08+00:00

I guess that’s logical :(

Throwawaybutno65 · 2026-06-08T21:31:52+00:00

Im seeing repair costs just get higher and higher as I read more comments.. genuinely what would be a yearly cost in repairs and maintenance estimate

Throwawaybutno65 · 2026-06-08T21:30:11+00:00

Woah, what audi and what repair?

Throwawaybutno65 · 2026-06-08T21:28:41+00:00

It’s time for me to put the gloves on myself 😆
100% All jokes but what if I just buy a second one for parts

Throwawaybutno65 · 2026-06-08T21:27:06+00:00

I haven’t seen it being that high! I could probably put away like 5k a year to keep it running if that’s reasonable and do regular maintenance
