    Merely owning a car has cost me an average of $2000 a year. Insurance, tires, oil and other maintenance costs brings that up to $3000. Just to own the car, that doesn’t include gas to actually use it

      What car costs you $2000 a year to sit in the driveway doing nothing? That’s $167/mo before any expenses? Sounds like a really cheap car payment.

        I mean insurance? You can easily spend 167 a month just on insurance And if you have a car payment then you’re definitely spending over that

        Whether you drive it or not those fees are still there
