Thanks for the pointer to the maintenance cost tool. I increased the mileage to see what things they had, and most were already accounted for above. Tires, breaks, and oil changes are already accounted for- of course- I was assuming that someone putting so many miles on their car would take the time to learn to do basic maintenance like this themselves. Changing your own oil and replacing your own break pads and even belts and most hoses are not that difficult of tasks. If you have the tools, doing the tires is not that difficult, but I figured on paying someone for the tires in my above numbers. I also added an extra $100 per week, which is a very generous maintenance allowance. Some weeks it will be a lot more, like when your AC compressor goes out, but other weeks you won't spend any of it.
