Vehical Cost Comparison Calculator
|
|
When buying a vehical most people fail to consider
ALL of the expenses that will be generated by their purchase. And because nearly all vehical
buying scenarios come with different variables (depreciation rates, interest rates,
purchase prices, insurance costs, mpg ratings, etc.), it becomes extremely difficult to
compare one buying scenario with another...until now that is. This calculator will not
only help you to forecast the REAL COST of buying and owning a vehical, but it will also help
you to more accurately compare the real cost of one vehical buying scenario with the real cost
of a second vehical buying scenario.
How to use this caluclator: Shortcut: Fill in all the blanks in the Scenario #1 column and then
click on
"Compute Purchase & Ownership Costs." This will automatically
copy Scenario #1 values into the Scenario #2 column.
