I know its a broad question, but I'm just trying to get a ballpark figure so I'm not surprised down the road.
$100\month = $1200\year for Storage
$460\year CA license-reg
$800\year insurance
Monthly payment will vary, but can be used as a tax write off if financed.
Your gas cost will vary depending on usage, but I plan for 6mpg @ 65-70gal each fill up (I have an 80gal tank). So, about $280 each fill up.
$1.50\ qt. 6 quarts of motorcraft oil (from wally world)
$5 Motorcraft oil filter (from wally world)
$15 Motorcraft air filter (from amazon)
$36 Motorcraft trans filter (from amazon)
$7 qt Motorcraft trans oil (from amazon)
$15\gal Anti-freeze\coolant
Generator maintenance
$10qt Onan oil (from amazon)
$10 Onan oil filter (from amazon)
*****ALL prices are estimates, your costs will vary.*****
I haven't replaced my tires yet and I have no major repairs so far.
