$8509 or about 7.3 cents per mile.
At 100K miles I was at 6.2 cents per mile.
These are rough estimates as I only updated this every year or so that I owned the car. I tried to get everything in there except wiper blades and other small stuff. I do all the work myself whenever I can. She made very few trips to the dealer, and never needed a tow. If anyone has any specific questions post them here. I know that my catagories are very general. I will respond when I have time, sometimes work gets in the way of online forums...
It is also worthy to note that I almost always use OEM parts, and make long term repairs.
