What do you think are some additional expenses that you will have in operating and maintaining your vehicle?

9.5 Operating and Maintaining a Vehicle

Unfortunately, the cost of the vehicle is no the only expense when owning a car. The 3 primary costs of operating and maintaining are:

Variable costs: such as gasoline, tires, oil change. These costs increase the more that you drive the vehicle.

Fixed costs: Vehicle insurance, and Registration fees. These fees remain the same regardless of how much you drive.

Depreciation: Is the decrease in the value of your vehicle because of its age and condition.
