How would I figure out the cost of ownership for a car? I'm looking into buying a 2004 Volvo S40, but I want to figure out how much it's gonna cost to own it - like, how much do the average repairs run, how much for gas, and because it's a turbo, do I need to run premium gas in it, or can I cut corners somewhere?
What is the best laser printer with the lowest total cost of ownership? I would like to find a monochrome laser printer that has a reasonble retail price (hopefully less than $450). More important, though, are the cost of supplies and how often they will need to be replaced. Is there a printer for which you can simply add toner rather than replace drums and cartridges? I would like a printer that is rated for at least 15,000 pages per month. Any suggestions and comparisons will be appreciated!

Rinnai tankless water heater total cost of ownership - Level of maintenance required? I just had an installer do a site survey of my home to get a quote for installation of a Rinnai tankless natural gas water heater. They said that Rinnai requires more maintenance than a tank water heater and can have small filters get blocked. They suggested I subscribe to a routine maintenance program. Has anyone have any experience with blockages of a Rinnai, and if so how frequently?

Honda Accord 2008 Coupe : Below Avg Cost of Ownership? Hi, I have a question about Accord 2008. I recently visited Honda website and it says that Accord coupe, thinking about buying one, has a below average ownership cost, but Accord sedan has excellent ownership cost. Why is this? And if you know, what's the major difference between LX-S and EX? I don't believe that there's that much of difference?
Tom Tom vs Magellan (Features and cost of ownership)? I currently have a Magellan 3000T and find it very useful. It is easy to use and has done a reasonably good job for me. However, I went to upgrade the map and found that they want $80. They want to charge me $80/year to have up to date maps! I think the cost of ownership is way too high. Any TomTom users out there? What are your experiences?

The cost of car ownership in UK? We are now expected to be 'green' and eco friendly in our day to day lives. Is it a justifiable policy to increase the cost of Petrol/Cartax/Insurance/Road tolls etc, to reduce the number of vehicles on the road. If the price of car ownership is forced beyond the means of the average punter, who would benefit? Would people elect to use public transport if it was of good quality or would it be forced upon them due to their financial inability to own a car? Will society accept the loss of the car to ordinary folks? Are we under pressure to be 'green' or are we being conditioned to accept that one day the Motor Vehicle will be the preserve of the rich as it was 50 years or so ago?
What is the cost of owning a blacktip reef shark? Before everyone yells at me, I'm not looking at purchasing one anytime in the near or distant future haha...I'm asking mostly out of curiosity because I know that people do own these sharks. I went to the Toledo Zoo today and loved this shark! I was wondering, with the shark, the tank, upkeep, and having a professional look in on it on a regular basis, what would be the cost of ownership? Also, from what I understand, you shouldn't have just one, but should have a few of them in a tank...

I need to know the annual cost of a hybrid car? I know the 1st year I will spend like ~$25,000, minus about 2k for tax credit or whatever, but I don't care about that. I need to know the cost of ownership for the next years. I only run 3,000 miles a year. I am wondering how much everything other than gas will cost me per year? Do hybrids require more or less maintenance than regular vehicles?
Cost of Ownership - cartridges !? HI, My colleague has told me to order 50 cartridges for office use but she has also mentioned to quote the approximate “cost of ownership”. Christ! What’s that! I have no idea whatsoever! Regards, Tarun
What's the cost of ownership of a car (UK only)? Can anyone advise me as to how much it costs to own and run a car - any car - in the UK right now? I'm currently trying to figure out if it's worth it, or if I can even afford it, but I'm having a really hard job finding concrete facts and figures. I'm not a new driver, I've actually had a driving licence for nearly 15 years now, but in all that time I've never actually owned a car - I've only ever driven hire cars. I live in a big city and it's always been very easy and cheap to use public transport, but I'll shortly be starting a new job in a small town and I'm having to look again at my transport options. For what it's worth, I'll be travelling around 10-12 miles a day, and I definitely don't want a flash car or a new car, I'm looking for the cheapest possible option in terms of the cost of ownership. I've seen various magazine articles which claim that the average cost of ownership of a car is over £5000 a year (!), which in my opinion is completely ridiculous - I could get a taxi to and from work every day for less than that. It would also be totally unaffordable on my salary. On the other hand, if I could own and run a car for on average £1000 a year or less, then it would be a no brainer, but maybe that's unrealistic. Can anyone help? Tom T - that's an excellent link. You say "put in your own numbers", but the reason I asked the question is that I don't actually have any numbers yet (bear in mind I've never owned a car before). What should I be paying for a car, is it worth getting a cheap old car or is it a false economy, that sort of thing. I'd ideally be looking to pay around £1000 a year or less (driving a small, economical and totally non-flashy car, and certainly not a new one), but I don't know if that's at all realistic. If I got something like (just plucking something out of a hat here) an 8 year old Nissan Micra for example, what kind of ownership cost would I be looking at? Would that be a good choice or a bad choice? (for driving myself to and from work, no more than 12 miles per day, with relatively occasional long distance journeys.) Thanks for your answers and I am considering other possible options, including a motorbike. As for maintenance, all I know is that I definitely won't be maintaining the car myself apart from the most basic stuff! Mileage - not entirely sure, but I'd be surprised if it was much more than 6000 miles a year. The insurance NCB thing is a bit of a p*sser really.
Reliability/Cost of Ownership 1987 Porsche 944 Turbo? So I was thinking about buying a 1987 Porsche 944 Turbo and I had a few questions. 1. How reliable are the cars? 2. How much is the cost of ownership per year? 3. What tends to go wrong with them and what can I do to prevent it? 4. How much time would it be in my garage vs. on the road? 5.

What factors are included in the cost of typical 5 year ownership of a car? I have to write a paper on a car for school and would like to fill some space by giving a brief description of the factors that make up the cost of typical 5 year ownership of a car. I'm thinking it would be things such as maintenance and gas, but I just want to be sure. If it helps, the car I'm reasearching is the 2011 Toyota Avalon with a $37,000 cost of typical 5 year ownership (that's actually about the average cost of ownership for older models, but I'm using that for the paper since the 2011 numbers haven't been released yet).

Prius in Winter and Total Cost of Ownership? I am evaluating the idea of buying a Prius in June/July this year. But I live in Canada and we have normally 5 to 10cm of snow and -15 C of temperatures (sometimes pretty frigid temperatures). This would be my only family car and I can not afford only having vehicle for certain days/season of the year. Also, I am worry about some complaints I have read on the internet about the Prius traction control system in slippery/snow conditions and unresponsive brakes and unintended acceleration in red traffic lights and highway ramps. In addition, if I compare the total cost of ownership of a Prius with a Nissan versa hatchback CVT, for instance, seems to be cheaper the second one in the long run. If possible, I would like to know some experiences and feedbacks in this regard that could help to make my mind. Thank you very much in advance. Rafael

What is the most cost effective new car over 10 years of ownership? I know things like fuel economy and repairs differ with different drivers, but just assume the average driver who only needs to transport perhaps a few bags of groceries and one passenger. Now that I think about it, a motorcycle would work too. Being lighter weight, fuel economy should be better. It will not be my only vehicle, so I do not need to worry about things like rainy days.
