My maintenance and repair costs over six years and 63k miles has been $4,300, with $3,500 of that in years five and six, 46k-63k miles.
On average (two very important words), you're better off without insurance.
I only buy insurance against things that would wipe me out financially: medical catastrophy, law suits, loss of a home. I only carry collision insurance on my cars because I live in a no-fault (more accurately named "your fault") car insurance state.
