I want to buy a cheap car (like £500). but i'm wondering how much it will cost me to run for a whole year.

i will be driving approximately 15miles each day. i also need to get insurance and AA cover, MOT etc. any ideas of roughly how much this will cost for a year? not inclduing the actual cost of the car!

Answers:
15 miles a dat works out average of 105 miles a week - petrol may a cost a bit

Insurance, depending on age and driving experience say your under 21 and male looking at £900 on your own.

AA Cover - depending on which cover you want, lets say: £124.88

Look out for maintaince and repairs on an old and cheap car - depends if it has been looked after.
1500-2000 a year easily
dont forget to factor in the repairs such a car would likely cost you. With so little cash you may be better off using that as a down payment on something a little better with a warrantee for repair issues. Up to you bit if they are old they cost more the just the insurance and the rest. And generally the insurance has more to do with your driving record than the car
Unless you buy a car from a friend that has kept the car in good running condition, expect to pay for repairs often. You get what you pay for.
buy a bicycle cheaper greener and keeps ya fit
About 2,000 pounds a years.
Ford KA- cheap to run
£30 a week
without repair bills I would say £3000 if you are under 25yrs
forget it spend more money and get a good car
