Cost of owning a Ford Aspire with 1.27 lakh km on odometer

This ownership is becoming very boring, but I'm not complaining though.

Major service update @1,27,000 kms:

This particular service should have been carried out @130k kms but since the car is not driven much, decided to get the car serviced at 1,27,300 kms itself. The last 8k kms took nearly 22 months.

Below mentioned parts were replaced during this service:

• Engine oil
• Oil filter
• Timing belt
• Idler pulley
• Tensioner pulley
• Outer belt (don't know the actual name of this part)
• Outer pulley
• Intercooler cleaned.

This ownership is becoming very boring, but I'm not complaining thoug. Everything is running perfect and there is nothing much to report.

The intercooler had never been cleaned till date, so got that cleaned as well. Wheel-alignment was not required, so skipped it. Got the car thoroughly washed and the interiors cleaned at the FNG.

After the service, I feel like the pickup has increased and there is lesser smoke under hard acceleration. I think this has more to do with the intercooler cleaning, rather than oil change.

Summary of this service:
Parts cost: 13,000/-
Labour charges: 3,000/-

Total amount paid: 16,000/-(for this service)
Total amount paid: 75,200/- (till date)
