Description
The sticker price is just the down payment on the truth. Depreciation, insurance, fuel, maintenance and the Canadian winter line items that sneak up on you.
In this episode:
• Depreciation is usually the biggest cost — buy models that hold value.
• Insurance, fuel and maintenance can rival the purchase over time; estimate them before you buy.
• Budget for winter tires, block heaters and seasonal upkeep as part of the real cost.
