The only thing I pay for it parts. I change the fluids and my brother helps me to change everything else that needs fixing. I don't like to leave my Ford with anyone else. If my brother and I do it, at least I know how it's been fixed.
I usually spend not more than $500 a year. I always take care of my car and get it serviced and tuned up regularly to avoid serious problems which need costly repairs.
I really have no idea how much I spend each year for the upkeep of my car. It depends on what goes wrong with it each year. Some years I need to buy new tires, come years I don't.
