This may sound a bit over the top but I actually run a spreadsheet to calc my ownership costs of cars when I have them... keeps me from buying new or leasing.
This how I calc the cost /month for my purposes no gas/oil/insurance is included
Purchase price including all tax shipping and financing costs etc.
+ maint including perf upgrades tires maint etc.over the term of my ownership
- final sale price to next owner
divided by total months of ownership
1997 Saab aero auto = ~ $250/month
Here are my prev veh
1971 olds vista cruiser wagon prev t/l Bought for $1 driven for 1.5 yrs ~ $20/m
1980 olds cutlass bought for $2300 driven for 3yrs ~$125/m
1982 olds old cutlass bought for $3000 driven for 3 yrs ~$100/m
1994 chev cavalier RS bought cpo for $16500 for 7 yrs ~ $200/m
1991 chev corsica bought $5500 for 2 yrs $100/m
1993 merc villager van bought $6800 for 3yrs ~ $150
1994 Nissan Quest $5500 2yrs ~$75/m
key to keeping costs low is buying at the right price.... using lower cost indy mech and used parts if warranted and selling privately when its time to move on
