I read that in 2007, the RACQ estimated the total cost of owning a car to be 100-300 bucks a week ($5,200-$15,600 per year) when everything was included - fuel, loan interest, rego, insurance, depreciation, racq membership, tyres, services, repairs...
The scary thing is that this assessment was based on a fuel price of 113.5 cents (now just a dream) and didn't even include parking costs or the costs of making an insurance claim (eg. the excess). And there are probably more..
Meanwhile, a friend of mine is paying a few hundred bucks to get her windows made slightly darker!
