Large car low running costs for low miles

Sorry I should have said. I reckon I'd get £5k out of the Lexus maybe a bit more.

TBH it's really not depreciating very much if at all.

So the running costs are approx.

£300 insurance
£200 maintenance (but more when it's tyres - 19")
£570 VED
£1150 petrol @ 23mpg

I reckon you could knock about £400/year off the petrol, same again off the VED, and maybe £100 off the insurance, as it is a 4.6l v8 so quite expensive to insure.

But you'd want to be into the replacement for say £3k for it to make sense.

So far I've thought

Skoda Superb
Ford Mondeo
Toyota Avensis

possibly an estate?

Can you just convert the Lexus to LPG and half your fuel costs?


Even at that, you're still only £2220 a year in running costs, or £185/month.



I honestly don't think it's worth changing vehicle if you like using it.
