And that is going to go down every additional year we have the car. If we keep it another 4 years with no major repair costs we're looking at $3320/yr.

Just curious - what goes down every year? The tax? Fuel and insurance aren't likely to change (hard to tell with fuel prices) and the chances of repair go up with age.
