Pricey
But needed to be done in order to use it


Told wife this morning let's go get a new Sienna

She won't have it

So I am stuck with it for a while
Sigh

Calculated all costs today. Not including insurance or fuel

We have owned it 67 months
70,000 miles
$2573 total spent in maintenance and fixing

What's the maintenance/repair split on that dollar amount? Factoring in maintenance isn't really fair unless the vehicle has short intervals, takes exotic fluids, or simple things like oil changes require a shop visit.

Repair has been $1023
Balance of it is maintence

I wasn't complaining about maintenance
Just giving a real world perspective for owners

Never had cars in 4 years where door locks don't work

When you have border patrols give you third degree because you can't get your car open it isn't a good feeling

Bummer. I make it a habit of not getting selected for inspection by the BP.

yup I try that

But small border crossing aren't friendly to cars where trunk or hatch doesn't open

$1000 in repair totals over 5 years? Not sure I've ever had a vehicle that low, including Toyotas.

M5 is awesome. Easy to drive, not too many on the roads. Unique. Got 80k and runs well. Very happy with mine.
