I think, with the exception of the ten thousand different diffs and transfer cases and doohickies and whatnot, maintenance is on par with a regular newer vehicle.

Inner and outer rack ends, about $500 bucks, just changed mine after about 65k miles.

Bushings, ridiculously cheap from energy susp etc. about $300 for the parts and labour.

Again in Trinidad.

 

Its not really every month its every so manu miles there should be a maintence thread on when to service parts for so many miles put on the car

 

Is there a site where you can buy genuwine mitsubishi 60k, 80k, 120k maintenance kit? I know lexus is300 has those kits and can even get parts cheaper on lexus website parts dealer for being a forum member. Do evo owners get this hook up too?

 

Thanks this is the exact info I'm looking for. Glad to have helpful comments when asked!

 

I was just checking to see about how much others dump a month on what to get a general idea on what the possibilities could be and what they can add up to, from experience that is.

 

I'm not too sure about discounts but I know I've read gates has a 60k kit(don't quote me on that). I remember reading a thread that had the different ways to do the services with brands. I'll do some looking around and post that link for ya!

For example advance auto has 5 quarts of mobile 1 and mobile one oil filter on sale ocasionally for 35 dollars total. They also sell the syncromesh fluid i use in my trans for a decent price. They send 10 off 50 to me about every month in coupons so for around 40 dollars i can do and oil change and change the fluid in my trans.

 

depending how much lead is in my foot, GASOLINE is highest particular thing i pay monthly

 

Hahaha yes!

 

Since last August I have changed oil once. So, that would be $25 for oil and $5 for a filter. Oh, I think I also put on some new wipers - another $15. So, six months for $45 or $7.50 a month.

 

Seems about right. Sounds about right for someone who takes care of their car

 

I was thinking the exact same!

 

Completely agree, fuel will be your biggest expense. Don't plan on getting more than 220miles out of a tank unless you do a lot of highway driving.

 

For the next few months ill do doing more city than highway but around August ill do doing all highway
