Driving 15k a year will cost…
Driving 15k a year will cost you 1500.00 minimum every 2 years. I have a 2011 Forrester that I bought with 57k miles at end of 2015.
60k miles checkup is a big milestone event $$$ for the dealership service dept. I think the previous owner traded it in rather than incur the cost.
I had the Trans fluid changed at dealership. I replaced the spark plugs and both air filters myself. Also had coolant fluid replaced later on.
I remember the cost would have included 4 - 5 hours labor alone for the checkup. Whether you let the dealership do it all or split it up into several service visits at a garage you trust...you have to get it done.
I still have the car nearly 9 years later.
