I have just worked out that my 12 year old Saab, doing 60,000 miles in the three years that I have had it, is costing £0.18 per mile! This includes sevicing, tyres, various odd repairs, depreciation insurance and road tax as well as the over-priced petrol that the thirsty beast has to drink.
It's damn sight quicker than a Polo or Focus, and lot more comfortable and characterful. Also it carries a LOT of stuff (whole finds assemblages, for example, wheelbarrows and so-on). And it is reliable.
All the rest of my staff have much more modern and sensible cars.
