Running costs
Article Abstract:
The largest single motoring cost for most people is car depreciation, with the typical new car losing around 75% of its value during the first six years. Some cares depreciate more than others, although some, such as prestige models and small cars, hold their price well. Car colour can also have a bearing on its resale value. Other facts to consider are fuel costs, servicing and repairs, and insurance.
