How much is your car a month?

For those financing or leasing, after monthly payments, insurance and cost of gas a month.


Initially I though I twas ahead of the game when I put a massive downpaymenr but after insurance and now gas, it has forced me to reevaluate my expenses.


Needless to say ismore than what I am comfortable with.

My sum is about 750. Didn't realize gas was like 200 a month.

68$ on insurance.
300-1,200$ on gas a month. But most of my mileage is work related and compensated.

A life spent making mistakes is not only more memorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.

I don't want to know how much I spend on gas.

Then I'll either cut down on my driving and stop having fun with it.

I hate the idea of treating it just to get from point a to point b.

I have 43k on my 2015 Murano and hate when people are shocked. It's meant to be driven.

I know I'm ranting. LOL

Tracking all my car related expenses using aCar

Running cost/day: $11.53 (doing 30k km's a year)
Cost of Ownership/km: $0.142 (You'll care more about this number)

This is on an owned beater daily driver and without including insurance; which is an additional ~$115/mth

Car debt makes me physically ill even thinking about it.

Im more into bikes more than anything, so I dont have a need for a super nice car.

But overall I pay a total of $250 a month on a 12 Fiat for insurance/fuel.

Because I drive a lot for work and get paid by the KM's I dont really count my fuel.

But for my car + Insurance I'm at around the $600/month range (actually just under that) for a 2016 vw Golf R, which is pretty good I think.
