That is a good high and low if ownership!!

Had my GS for 9 years now and average about £1400 per year, but that is with me doing most / all the work so mostly parts.
The car has been virtually restored in that time and the underside is as new, so a lot of it optional really.

If I had to pay for all repairs at a garage / specialist I’d probably have got shot of it a long time ago.

As mad as it seems I have even gone onto buy a non running 4200 last year which is now running and plan to have a bit of fun with it before moving it on.
That car has some massive bills in the history (for not a lot) and the car is in my eyes still needs a lot of improvement.

Anyway enjoy the car they are a relative bargain!

Hi, Just wondering, you say the GS so am assuming Gransport. If it's nine years old that makes it a 2013/2014 car. I thought the last Gransports were in 2008?

Umm, he's had it for 9 years, not "It's 9 years old"

Yes bought 9 years ago when it was 9 years old so it is 9 years older than 9 years old
