I paid off my 2000 323i BMW a few years back and was considering selling it for a more economical (gas-wise) vehicle... Well obviously there is nothing that drives like it and I figured I only pay $35 extra a month to fuel it. I would like to budget for repairs and maintenance/mo or yr. with plans to hold on to it for as long as possible. Anyone have any guestimates? Probably 75% of 127,000 miles are freeway/highway, and I only plan to drive about 8500 miles/yr.. Any input appreciated.
