re: do the math (what's it cost to drive an alfa?)

[dsedon@domain.elided]

hi all,

let's see, i bought my '92 164L w/117k for $5k.  almost 5 years & 63k miles later, i have ~$12k into it, including the purchase price, fluids, disposables, & repairs.  that's ~19 cents/mile.  checkbook vs diy mechanic have been about 50/50.  no complaints here...  used cars are almost always cheaper to own & operate, imo...  even alfas.

> The average car costs $0.375 per mile to drive, yielding $375/1000 miles. I think your average car is a ford Taurus - am I wrong? My conclusion is that the 164Q costs me 30% more than what mose people pay for a new "average" car.  It's worth every penny I think, assuming you do your own labor.
