I was looking the receipts for the BMW today and because of how unorganized I am I had one pile of all the previous owners records (since May 1989) and one pile of all my records (since June 2010). I noticed that my 9 years of receipts is the same thickness as his 21 years of receipts. So now I want to put everything into a spreadsheet to track everything, those of you that keep such spreadsheets, if you could post the way you have it formatted, this would help me out a bit. Thanks!

I tend to keep spreadsheets of repairs/maintenance year-by-year, using new sheets within the document per year . Scanned copies of receipts are saved to a special folder in GDrive and linked to in a Receipt column.

My column layout is basically this:
Month (marker column) , date, repair/maintenance/parts receipt in question, what it cost, link to scan/PDF/etc, and any notes

I don’t keep such close track. It’s a German car, it will require repairs, those repairs will be expensive.

Nothing good can come of looking at total cost of ownership dead in the face.
