12 December 2011 Year of purchase is not the criteria for capitalising of expenses. If the repairing expenses are replacement of parts,etc. or normal repair charges then charge the same to expenses account. However, if the expenses incurred either:
1) increase the economic life of asset,or
2) Expected future benefits from car increse beyond previously assessed standard performance
then capitalise the same to Car.

12 December 2011 If you are wanting to capitalise the revenue expense then you cannot capitalise repair charges if the benefit for the expenses was already availed by you in the earlier period.
Alsodeduction has already been claimed and allowed by the Income tax department in the year of expense off.
