That figure actually includes depreciation and insurance! In fact, almost half of it is just the bloody insurance... Though I should possibly make an allowance in the figure for future repair work, as it's an older car.

I think once my big project (and associated last second trips to the builder's merchant) is finished, I'll have a go at living without the car.
My housemates may not be too happy about the private taxi service shutting down though!

Average car insurance cost in London is 1200-1600, surely yours isn’t less than half that?

That's the benefit of not-london and a small car: It's under £500!
