Man Maths required- maintenance costs
Hi flimper, no warranty cost in my calculations. Thinking about it though, the TVR came with 2 year warranty when i bought it but my calculation is based only on the maintenance work that I paid for. if you factor in the work done under warranty it would come in nearer £2.7k per year! I take your (implied) point that adding a BMW warranty will add another £1k+ but I probably won't go down that route.
Cheers.

Have to agree with the above, I love TVRs and have come close to buying a couple in the past, I'm so glad I bought the z4m, I like to think of it as a German TVR, surprisingly big personality and character for a German car, and apart from petrol and tax, quite decent running costs for a 10 year old, 350bhp car from standard. I'm daily driving mine at the moment, but then again I am mad...

I think you're the sensible one, it's the ones that don't drive the damn thing who are mad imo.

Have you not thought of just getting a rebuild on the TVR? £5k for a 3 year unlimited warranty.
Just seems a shame to sell a TVR at the moment due to running costs and problems when they are doing nothing but surging in price.
