What does it really cost to own/operate a vehicle?
This shows the cost based on user input.
The maintenance costs include such
as flats and other miscellaneous repairs.

The first calculation, vehicles cost per day,
is as if the vehicle just sets there, never driven.
Note that the longer you keep the vehicle,
the cheaper it is to drive, assuming
you have no major repairs.

There are very likely other costs which
are not shown here, but this will give
a good idea of the expense.
