Suspect at standard level
Default Set up Cost

Hey guys,

I'm currently saving and doing the sums to figure out how much i need to buy & maintain a WRX.

Can you guys help me out with some figures for Insurance (21 year old), Service/maintenance cost per year & general running cost.

Would be awesome to hear your thoughts & experiences.

Cheers

couple of grand insurance, couple of grand servicing, a grand on tyres and half a grand on rego should be plenty.

Running costs would be about 100-150 a week (take into account servicing, fuel, tyres, over a year etc). Insurance would be around 2K (+/-). Past experiences tell me that you have to take into account traffic fines and bus trips when you loose your licese

Running costs get higher as your car gets older so your better off buying the newest model u can afford.
