Iliketosleep 0 Report post Posted August 22, 2020 I've found one I like, 2019 plate, but its approx 390 pounds per month, it begs the question How much do tyres and brakes typically cost and how often do they need replacing? How much does a typical service cost? Is there any form of maintenance that is equired regularly? At what mileage do you expect parts to fail and require replacement, and cost associated? Appreciate it's a lot of questions, thanks all Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eezie86 13 Report post Posted August 22, 2020 Tyres are can start from £100 a corner if you want a good setYearly service can vary depending if you do it your self or go to a garage. Oil and filter service done yourself can cost about £80The engines are mechanical sound it cared for, mine has 75k and the only mechanical issue I've had is a pulley bearing failed which was £70 for the part from Toyota.Brakes vary depend on which pad you chose either It being cheap or high end.Sent from my J8210 using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eezie86 13 Report post Posted August 22, 2020 A good set for general daily driving should be fine for a good time. I had Toyo proxes for 2 years which needed replacing due to my camber wearing the inner edges (I have aftermarket suspension).Sent from my J8210 using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Iliketosleep 0 Report post Posted August 22, 2020 Thanks Eezie, that sounds good, I take it (in that case) that the brake pads will be cheap as chips. 390 per month on a 2k deposit with 12,000 miles is still disgusting, I'm going to shop around and join the 86 club in Nov. Thanks for the help, my only worry was coughing 300-400 per month finance for parts to be super expensive Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lauren 2259 Report post Posted August 22, 2020 40 minutes ago, Iliketosleep said: Thanks mate, do they wear easily and need replacing regularly? I generally find I get around 36-45,000 miles out of a set of pads and discs. With stock discs and pads it's around £500 to change them. If you are heavy on the brakes then expect to change them more regularly. I do a number of track days and a sprint season in my car as well as daily driving. YMMV of course. It's a relatively cheap car to maintain. 10K or yearly service intervals whichever comes sooner. The 60K and 80K service are the most expensive due to spark plug change and fuel filter change respectively. Tyres are around £80 per corner. It's a very reliable car if you keep to the service intervals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for the help, my only worry was coughing 300-400 per month finance for parts to be super expensive Pads are expensive. They are around £300 for a set. Parts are not super expensive, it's a £25K car new. If you are buying a 2019 car you will have four years warranty left, so it will only need routine servicing. On the Primacy tyre they last very well around 14K for the rears and 20K for the fronts. It will only cost you for consumables and I would expect another 20K out of your brake pads unless you drive like a loon. 1 Sleazyboii reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eezie86 13 Report post Posted August 22, 2020 I think my brake change cost around around the £600 mark and that was for discs and pads. Made the vital mistake of not realising the trd disc are slightly bigger Sent from my J8210 using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

will300 812 Report post Posted August 22, 2020 All of the 17+ models are very refined and have alot of the issues fixed from earlier cars. However if servicing and general maintenance is going to be tight, perhaps look at a slightly order and cheaper car with a better finance rate, i.e: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NJay 10 Report post Posted August 22, 2020 Several of us have had the 60k/6yr service since Toyota changed their pricing structure and it includes the cost of changing the spark plugs (whether it's needed or not since mine had only done 40k lol). It now costs £395 (£316 if you've joined the 5yr+ club) but used to cost £600 for that service gulp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Most 86/BRZ are the full 295. 2 years ownership of a 2012 model has cost me. (excluding mods) Tires £410 fitted for PS4s Disks and pads (excluding track day usage) £400 Service £250 per year /10k £75 for an aircon recharge. That's with 20k miles in the 2 years.

A low mileage car that was 6 years old would not warrant the spark plug change. However, all those that have been subject to the valve spring recall generally had their plugs change as it was free to do whilst the engine was out and you only needed to pay for the plugs themselves.

ThatGuyThere 54 Report post Posted August 23, 2020 They're very cheap to run and maintain, mpg is worse than you'd think though. But paying that amount monthly...hmmm. There's so many other interesting cars for £400 a month! I'd go for an older/cheaper gt86 personally - the cars are well made and don't age badly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
