| The
Cost of Car Ownership
While owning your own car can provide a sense of freedom and
mobility—this mobility comes at a high price for individuals
and the region as a whole.
According to the Automobile Club of Southern California, the average
annual cost of driving a new car in Southern California was almost
$8000 a year in 2001. Individuals who own their cars outright
and don’t face a loan or lease payment each month still
incur annual expenses of over $4000 a year for the privilege of
driving. These costs include monthly financing or lease payments,
auto insurance, license fees and taxes, maintenance costs and
fuel.
