[QUOTE="gendong, post: 718105, member: 22402"] Welcome to the forum luca. For starters, ur car is already 14 years old. Assuming proper maintenance has been performed rigorously while its in ur family's care, then less hassle/headache for u. Once the car is here, and based on ur questions: 1. Normal service normally is around RM250-350, depending on the type of engine oil that you choose and labour inclusive. Other minor/major maintenance cost would depend very much on the parts involved and the effort. My advise is for you to find a trusted mechanic, and be his next best friend. 2. As a guide, 10,000km is the recommended if ur on synthetic oil, while 5,000km if ur on mineral oil. Most members on synthetic oil would change earlier (very early) before it reaches the 10k km mark, to maintain a smooth running engine. 3. Normal service normally include a change of engine oil and filter, some degree of 'easy' troubleshoot (if any). All done within 30 to 60 minutes. 4. 'Hidden cost' is mostly associated with the maintenance/upkeep of the car to have it smooth running. Cost varies to the parts associated with the maintenance/repairs done. Road tax and insurance would be around the figure you have quoted. Also, bear in mind that ur car is already 14 years old, those wear and tear parts (assuming u hv not changed them) have to be changed. If you have time, do go through these threads to understand whats associated and the cost of maintenance on the e46: 1.
