As the saying goes, "Buying a car is easy, but maintaining one is hard." In addition to the purchase price, you must consider the various ongoing expenses of "keeping" a car, such as monthly fuel costs, parking fees, tunnel tolls, insurance premiums, registration fees, and regular inspection and maintenance costs. If you are purchasing the vehicle through a car loan, you must also factor in the monthly repayment expenses.
You should also be aware of potential hidden costs. For instance, while new cars generally come with a manufacturer's warranty, you should carefully read the scope of the coverage. As for used cars, they may have more wear and tear, potentially leading to higher maintenance costs in the future.
