The True Cost of Car Ownership

Owning a car involves much more than just the monthly payment. To truly understand your automotive expenses, you need to account for fuel, depreciation, insurance, and maintenance.

1. Fuel and Mileage

Fuel is often the second largest expense after the car payment. By tracking your MPG (Miles Per Gallon) or L/100km, you can estimate your annual fuel costs and budget accordingly.

2. Depreciation

Cars lose value the moment you drive them off the lot. Typically, a new car loses 20% of its value in the first year.

3. Leasing vs. Buying

When leasing, you're paying for the depreciation of the vehicle during the lease term, plus interest. When buying, you're building equity, but tying up capital.
