I think its just somewhere around there....should be in the 2.2k region to 3k plus minus from rough estimation.

 

if I not wrong, my coy lorry just spent $1400 (one off dunno can tahan how long) replacing all the wear and tear plus a damaged exhaust.

oil change about $130 plus minus not really sure of the exact figure. but also depends on the weight your lorry frequently carry.

 

the driver also need to maintain the vehicle well such as checking radiator water and others blah blah...

I believe better look at budgeting for replacement, if often overloaded/over-utilised the lorry.

Example: Maintenance of a car can be within $1000/- for 10 years (engine oil, engine oil filter, air filter, brake shoes, brake fluid, steeering fluid, radiator coolant, windscreen wiper blades, CV joints servicing at workshop, wheels aignment at workshop, clutch replacement at workshop, replacing the 5 tire, 2 batteries replacement).

Is the lorry very worn out already? One previous Employer used to spend more than $9000/- a year maintain an old lorry worth less than $500/- in open market. A reasonably useable pick-up only cost around $5000/- then. I adviced the Manager to replace the old lorry with pick-up to save on the extravagant expenses ($9000/- could had bought us 2 pick-ups if bought from same seller).

 

not easy to find replacement for 4 and 6 tons lorry.

furthermore, the servicing is very regular every 3-4months.
