I got to say, when you bought it I was expecting the costs to be more than 11k after a couple of years.
Seems a pretty reasonable example of ownership tbh. 20k-ish in after two years and you own it.Anything new then and owned by now for the same cost wouldn't really excite. Anything interesting you'd still have years left before you were done. Anything leased, you'd soon be looking at replacing / buying.
Another way of looking at it would be that I paid £11,800 deposit for the car and then ~£500/month since. I wonder what new car I could have been in for that?
