Yes, $5k covers this costs. A timing belt or break pads are $100 - $200 for the whole thing. Insurance isn't included sure, nor is gas.
According to my mint, on average I spend $500 / year on insurance (two cars) and gas is $1000 / year. I also get things like freedom to drive cross country (which I've done) or go to national parks. Which adds value.
Take all that and its still what:
$8k + $4k + $10k + $5k = $27k
For 8 years... And I gurantee I travel more than 686 rides, as I drive pretty much 365 days a year. Plus it has some value.
In many cases, as with most things, convenience comes at a premium. That's what ride sharing is. I use it too when traveling, but the car is way cheaper long term.
