my oil change is about $80, but i only do that every 7.5k to 10k miles.

my regular maintaince, every 15k to 20k in miles runs around say $250 (at the dealership, and granted i have a 2003).

what hurts is when something brakes, as their are lesser repair places (foreign and diesel) and parts seem like they are 30-50% higher.

but in reality, i probably spend about as much on regular maintenance with mine as i did with my pontiac before that.

mandy used to have one, she might be able to chime in as well.
