So since I've owned it I've had to change :
- Rear wheel bearing
- Front wheel bearing
- Tires
- Oil and filter change
- Sparkplugs
- Wiper blades
- Air filter
And to make it look nice :
- GTI tails
- Sebring rims
And let's not forget sandpaper, rustproofing sealant and spray can paint !
Now I have to spend more money to lower it and stick a decent exhaust ! When will (me) it end rhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa !
*rant over*

But to be honest mate, the wheel bearings and tyres are wear and tear, happens to every car, the rest on the first list is basic servicing stuff. And the last list, well everybody who modifies their car has to pay money out. I bought a 1.4 Golf for 500 quid and spent the best part of 1500 quid modifying it.
It may seem like you're throwing money away, but think how many times it's broken down, think about its reliability.
Then compare it to a French car. Do you find yourself sitting at the side of the road waiting for the AA at least once per day? :grin:
Didn't think so...
So in the long run you can't really complain :wink:
-
as above... most of them are wear and tear or servicing
you would have to spend that out on any car
-
To be honest as above all those items are wear and tear items and would need changing on most cars.

half of them you change just for the sake of it, wheel bearings are cheaper than macdonalds. lol
