Cost of Ownership

What is Cost of Ownership?

Cost of ownership refers to how much money an individual can expect to spend on his or her car on a yearly basis. Usually, these costs include:

• Routine maintenance
• Repairs
• Gas
• Insurance

Some cars are more expensive to own than others, which is why it is important to make this consideration before purchasing a car. Some cars are gas guzzlers and others are costly to repair. As such, individuals should think about how much they have to spend on their cars each year before they purchase a vehicle.
