Real-life maintenance costs on a small B+
Just looking for some info from those who have done it. Possibly next year I'm going to seriously start looking for a B+ in the 21-24', 10-15 yr old, 30K-60K miles, & $20-$30K range. From what I'v...

I dont think the v10 has a timing belt, probably a chain and 30K is not enough to warrant the $$ to R&R. But if ya do might as well go whole hog and do the water pump and t-stat as well. Plus you will need all new coolant etc.
I would as a minimum just change all fluids as a start point and then move on to other things such as spark plugs and cops if needed. All filters such as oil, air, and trans unless you do go ahead and flush.
Probably the biggest expense will be tires unless newly installed. If it hasnt been used a lot than figure on a brake flush and possible pads. Shocks could also come into play here due to age, they run about $100 each. So with what I just said you are in the neighborhood of a $1000 not counting tires maybe even $1500. Tires will run about $150 each easily if not more. So shop wisely
