• To make me feel smug and put the kybosh on it, my SC430 has cost me nothing but servicing money in the last 3 years. Not a daily though. The headlights are grey all through the plastic, so won't polish out, a new pair is £1200. May treat it over the winter.

  • Call that budget motoring?

    We’ve had our Honda Odyssey skip run car 4 years and 25,000 miles and I’ve never even serviced it. I’ve topped the oil up once and the washer fluid a few times and spent €17 on an ABS wire and £20 on a puncture repair. That’s it as far as I can remember.

    The idea is to throw it away when it breaks. I don’t think it ever will.

  • I know where you're coming from but to not even change oil and filters in that time just seems neglectful. Mind you, fresh oil might reveal a while host of worn out valve gear and bearings. Possibly better to leave it alone!

  • my daily is a Suzuki Swift.. 30k from new consumables only. Wouldn't dare not do oil changes.
