Once I got rid of a new Ford, I never put anywhere near a grand per year into any car. That even includes the Chevy that required a new timing belt every 40,000 miles (+/- 500 miles). Driving a car for 12 and 14 years has been routine.
Probably my biggest maintenance expense was new exhaust pipes (and then a cement truck took out that car). BTW, did you know insurance will reimburse for recently replaced parts?
