Service costs

[Cookie28]

Despite the finance costs it is significantly cheaper to own and drive than the Honda I owned outright, it was just getting to the age when things were just starting to be replaced.

This is exactly what's happening with our car now and atm, the last service was $500 but the two before that were $2000+ which is definitely not good especially as they want to go to Europe in 2013!!!

It's probably still cheaper to run the Pajero unless it's a bucket of poo. You need to factor in depreciation, etc.

Pajero to EOS? seems an odd move. Is that what they want or what you want? My Sister has an EOS & despite my previous ownership of a MK3.5 Cabrio, I'd much rather the practicality of my Octavia hatch. (But she also has a Holden 1 tonner, so that takes care of the load carrying requirements when needed)

Haha yeah it is a big change but its my mums dream car and they would probably like a touareg more but they cant afford it. My mums always wanted a convertible and since seeing the eos at the motorshow the first year it came out shes loved it mainly due to the sunroof and we went for a test drive on monday and both my mum and step dad pretty much fell in love and i can say ive never been in a speeding car with my step dad driving until monday haha
