LONGTERMERS #1, Update 5: Ford Telstar i4 DOHC 16v

LONGTERMERS #1, Update 5: Ford Telstar i4 DOHC 16v GHIA



Many things happened to my Telstar in the month of November. Last month my Telstar got ‘Kissed’ by a Kia Spectra driven by a Teenager. The rear bumper cracked, misaligned which also caused the BOOT difficult to close. I set aside RM300 for repair. The solution? RM166 Knock the mountings and welding on the inside of the bumper followed by 2 screws on the right side of the bumper.


Guess what?


My Telstar was without bumper for 1 day. (See photo above).


Beside that, the Telstar temperature went up again. Changed the thermostat and ONE "used" Radiator fan worth RM245.

Without further ado, let’s proceed to the Logbook.

LOGBOOK:

Year of manufactured: 1998 (registered January 1999)
Purchase price: RM42,000 (Aug 2005)
Current value: RM18,000 (As at October 2008)
Depreciation per year (averaged): RM8,000
Mileage last month: 137483km.
Mileage now: 138580km.

Fuel consumption: Now using back to Mobil RON97. RM80 (40L as at RM2.00/L) lasts for 250kms... A "savings" of 40km +/-.

Expenses (this month)
1) Bumper knocking, welding and screwing. RM166
2) Used Radiator fan, thermostat: RM245

Here's a parting shot of the Telstar...
