Quadrifoglio - Service and tyre costs. Thoughts?

[Uppity]

Hi

Looking at costs for a QV over a 3 year period, average around 8K miles per year. It would be a new one, so covered by warranty. Costs I need to understand are servicing and tyres over the period - what has your experience been? What would you consider a sensible budget?

Any other tips/pointers welcomed.

Thanks for the input in advance

One set of tyres a year at £900-£1200 depending on brand. One service a year at £250-£400 a year at a guess, unless you buy the service pack. Road tax will be your biggest outlay at first unless you are buying a used, early model car.

Tyres will depend how you drive and if you do any track days. Normal road use with some motorway miles then I'd say somewhere in the region of 12,000 miles a set so you may just get away with 1 set in 3 years @ 8,000 miles a year but probably budget for 2 sets.
Servicing is every 9,000 miles or 12 months whichever comes first.

I got 18k from a set of OEM tyres, but that's extreme as I do a lot of motorway driving. Replacement costs were £1k for same OEM tyres. You might want to budget for some winter tyres as the OEM tyres are less than ideal in cold conditions... saying that I managed but I guess it depends where you live.

Service costs, no idea as I got the free service pack.

if you can afford the car in the first place, are the upkeep costs over 3 years going to really be a big issue? my attitude is it costs what it costs. its in the ball park of similar cars but not super car levels.

don't crash it though or go anywhere near a curb at least. then the costs really start to rack up!
