<prompt> Human: We have 2 cars that are 5 years or newer. They are regularly maintained on schedule oil changes, tire rotationbalance, alignment, fluids, etc.. We set a monthly budget to pay for them as needed. For more expensive maintenancerepair tires replacement, brake padsrotors, etc. we have a separate savings account set aside. It is currently at 600, saving 100 per month, with a goal to be 1000. Is this enoughtoo much? A set of 4 tires for the SUV comes out to be 600 after taxes and fees. The sedan is about 500 for 4 tires. My 1000 goal are loosely based on these numbers.Thanks!  <response>: A teacher once told me that once the car payment is done to keep making car payments to a saving account.you obviously could affod it before so do not stop. Them in a few years or towards the end of the life of the car you have a nice chunk to pay to a down payment. And you could always use the funds for repairs also. Only dipping into it when needed. I always liked this idea.
