You almost have to try to pay more than the low $20 range to get oil changed anymore. At first i had stopped doing my own because Honda hid the filters but now it's so cheap to have someone else do it why not let them? Out of four vehicles in the fleet only one has fewer than 130K on it.

Ditto on performing your own maintenance; the service/repair costs on my 318ti, X3, and Wrangler average less than $1,100/year combined. And I'm pretty good at keeping cars for longer than a few years; I've had the 318ti for 14 years, the Wrangler for almost 7.5, and the X3 for 4. The ti, the Wrangler, and the 2002 all have over 100K on them. The X3 has almost 85K on the clock while the Mazdaspeed will hit 50K sometime this month(if I don't flip it for an E30/36/46 M3
) I've dropped collision coverage on the Wrangler and 2002.
So, do I qualify for cheapskate status?

Buy salvaged vehicle and fix it with used / salvaged parts.2005 Audi TT 3.2. Spent $10K. Saved $15K. Never had a problem.
The key is finding someone experienced.
In buying salvaged cars and sourcing out parts that you trust.
