[welford11x]

i am very close to getting my first rex but the only thing that is worrying me is runnig costs so if anyone can give me some idea of how much it is please!!! so that i can get it?

If you buy a shed as your gonna pay a lot more running cost than if you bought a good one. And even then they are still expensive but that\'s more to do with petrol costs and Insurance.

depends what kind of rex you want

some cost very little to run and others cost somewhat more

so which one are you after

1st gen, 2nd gen or 3rd gen ?

it is a 3rd gen i am looking at and i am looking at getting one that has recently had an engine rebuild so i don\'t have that to fork out on.

Provided it is a good car and you don\'t plan to mod the main costs are going to be insurance, fuel and servicing.  Insurance is very variable depending on your circumstances, take a look at the insurance section on here to get an idea but probably best to phone for a few quotes.  Fuel, expect 15->20mpg.  Servicing varies a lot, any decent mechanic should be able to do the regular stuff such as fluids, plugs etc.  Anything more involved (e.g. investigate boost problems), probably best to take to a specialist but I don\'t know any in the North East. WGT in Cheshire closest?

Some nice roads up Whitby way, love the North Yorks Moors.
