Car appreciation... the aesthetics, the engineering, etc

And this is why I don't read car threads online. As a balance, less nasties, just depreciation;

'10 BMW 320D
Run for 2 years, 40K miles - 60>100k
Maintenance 3 tyres.
3 Services (Oil + filters)
£10k > £6.5k

'07 Volvo V70
Run for 2 years, 40K miles - 90>130k
Maintenance - 2 Tyres and a EGR arm (£4)
3 Services (Oil + filters)
£6.5k > £2k

'14 Volvo XC90
Run for 2 years, 20K miles - 60>80k
Maintenance - BRAKES! Front calliper, 2 rear discs and handbrake. £500. 4 Tyres £300.
2 Services (Oil + filters)
£12k > £12K (YEY COVID!)

'15 Volvo XC90
Running.... hopefully for 4 years - 5K miles thus far.
Maintenance -4 Tyres
1 Service (Oil and filters)
£Spendy > less spendy (probably).

So in +100k motoring, nothing mechanical.

I like to change tyres, i.e bought car with crap ones and change ahead of time as I deem it safer. I want matched axles or I want all seasons etc.
I also like to whack it in for a dealer service immediately after purchase and whilst under whatever limited warranty there is. The idea being they will find anything awry.

Motoring is pure luck though, you can do all the preventative stuff i.e oil, filter changes as much as possible but if a turbo wants to go it will.

Life's a big depreciation - unless you're a house.
