Considering 81.7% of your costs came from the purchase itself, I’d say you’re doing alright.

I forgot that Nur laps are only 30 Euro, which I think is a hell of a deal.
Also, how’s that bluetooth module working? I’m nervous about using FM adapters, so I keep getting cars with native BT instead.

30 bucks sound like a lot but one lap is worth every penny.
The bluetooth module is probably the worst solution as the sound quality is miserable most of the time as you use a regular radio frequency. I bought one because aftermarket radios still look gaudy. Bluetooth connectivity can be added to the stock stereo fairly easy and is on my list of things I want for my car.

That insurance, is that annually?

Yep, forgot to add p.A.
If I were to insure the car myself I’d probably pay that much for 6 months, though to be fair after my little scratch back in September the rate went up about 180, -

Right, I considered it relatively cheap. I paid about €240 a year in the Netherlands, but here in Germany it’s about €500 (Teilkasko). Which I consider incredibly steep, given my age, driving history (they accepted my Dutch history) and economically worthless car. So I would expect a much younger guy with no insurance history and a more expensive car to b much more expensive to insure.

240,00€?? That’s next to nothing. Though there are more factors to your insurance cost such as the region you live in or your annual driven kilometers. My parents pay 400€ with me as an additional driver, before that it was only 303€ at 3.000km per year ( lol).

I used to drive 30k a year in the 406 , it’s probably closer to 20-25k now. Plus I’ve added my girlfriend (1986, but drivers license: 2018) as a second driver. So it makes more sense now.

Once you’re over 25 the rates drop quite good.
Did your girlfriend make her driver’s license in 2018?!?

I’m 35 now, that was my point. Should be relatively cheap by now. And it was in NL.
She got it at age 17 in N ew Zealand (never converted to a EU license, so invalid for ages) and 32 (or was it 31 ?) i n Germany.

Still a good rate for someone insuring their car the first time in Germany. My father for example as a then non-EU citizen would have pay out the nose.

I just handed them my Dutch insurance papers and they simply accepted my history. As they should, IMHO.

Imagine being a non EU citizen while having 10 years of driving experience but insurers don’t care one bit
