just a quick question or two about the cost of running you aveos. in england the petrol and insurance prices are insane.
petrol at the local garage costs £1.40 a liter wich is £55 to fill a tank!!!:confused:
also the insurance on my kalos is £890 a year!:mad: fair enough im 21 but thats maddness!!!
cheers, jonny.
I get @27 mpg @ $3.59 a gallon.
Pay $35 a month in insurance.
Car is paid for from here on out.
Figure another $200 or so a year in speeding tickets
insurance is $150 a month, gas runs about $50 a month, $200 car payment
$400 a month
Car is $260/month, gas $100/month and insurrance is $92/month. all in all is $452/month just to roll.
Gas is $1.2 CAD a liter here, costs me about $40 to fill at 1/4 tank.
$170 for insurance a month, or $2040 a year.
Looking at $210 to $250 a month for me in operating costs. Around $400 if you include car payments. Your insurance cost is awesome, mine is at $170 because I own two vehicles and get multi vehicle discount for my one that is stored right now, otherwise it would be $210 ($2520 per year) a month. On the flip side you are paying about $2.18 Canadian for gas right now when converted, but technically my cost is roughly the same in terms of actual money face value.
It cost to fill up around $40 at 3.87/Gallon = $160/Month
Full Cover Insurance = $109/Month
The car is already paid off.
Total = $269
i cant believe what you people pay for insurance..
How old are you and what kind of insurance do you have? I'm 26, in Montreal and I'm paying $100 per month for full insurance with a group insurer.Quote:

It adds up to significantly more than 'insurance + gas' that a lot of people seem only to count. Gas in Montreal has been $1.25 - $1.35 per liter for a while now, pretty crazy when it costs almost 50 bucks to fill up an Aveo which can barely get 500KM per tank. Mileage goes by really fast.. I live and work downtown and I still use at least 2-3 tanks per month just driving around a few times per week.
i'm 31. (how many of you are surprised?)
i've never paid more than $40 a month for insurance even when i was 16 (although it wasn'f full coverage then)
I have owned/rregister over 100 cars, but my r32 was $32, my s4 was $30, my mustang was $40, my wife's cars are all about $40 + or - a couple bucks.
I currently have 3 cars the aveo and my 08 chrysler t&c both with full coverage, and my vw rabbit with only collision. I pay less than $100 a month, and i have an extra $250k on my policy from "minimum" to protect my house and other assets incase i am sued..
I'm in Sherbrooke, Quebec. Gas is $1.24 per litre, only had the 2004 Aveo for a few days now. So can't say what the MPG (km/L) is yet. But it was on empty at the dealer and putting in $35 gave me a little over 3/4 of a tank. Insurance is $27.18 per month that's including my motorcycle too, so I can't complain. The car itself is paid for, saved up and paid cash.
Is that public insurance run by the government though? Also if I was a chick, I'd be paying about $80 bucks a month.Quote:

nice G3 sidewinder !
Current Monthly Cost of the Aveo:
Monthly Payment: $191
Insurance: $60 (Progressive- Married, 25, male, 0 accidents/tickets. The wife's Fit is $50/month)
Average MPG: 32
Average Miles per Month: 1275
Average gallons of gas per month: 39.8
Average cost for gas (FL): $3.67/gal
Average monthly gas cost: $146
Therefore, my current monthly running cost is $397. Not too shabby. But it doesn't take into account original down payment, maintenance, wear and tear items, tolls, speeding tickets/parking fines, etc. I think I figured it out awhile back, and the overall cost per mile was around $0.47 or so.
One of the provinces here has government run insurance instead of privatized, you can get insurance for like $80 from them unlike the $170 I pay for privatized.Quote:

Around here it is married or 25, not both. Believe me, I tried!
My rates hardly changed at all when I turned 25 (I'll turn 27 this spring)
On the bright side, I just called my insurance company and reduced my premium from $101/mo to $42/mo
I was paying more because I was fully covered on both sides
Now I'm only covered if the accident is NOT my fault, and still covered for fire/theft etc. I could have had it at $28/mo, but I would not be covered for theft. SCREW that (have had a car stolen before with no theft coverage!!).
woohoo
