Hypothetical cost only, It has costs that will not relate to all people when they purchase.

I think if most people did the maths, they would be shocked to find out how much $$$ they spend on their cars per year. I'd say $7k - $10k for running and maintaining a car if fully owned, plus finance costs on top of that if there are any! I did the sums on my XR8 and found it costing me in the middle of that range. Decided to sell and Salary Sacrafice a FG FPV, with the sale price of my XR8 going to my home loan, and think that at the end of my 2 year lease I will be approx. $4k better off than if I had bought the GT outright!

It's interesting that the SUV compact class is noticably cheaper to run than the Aussie large car - 10-11K vs 12-13K p/a.
