It doesn't cost anywhere close to that unless you are driving an absolutely insane amount of miles or have some ridiculous supercar where the insurance rates are insane.
- ragazzina 1y agoHonestly it does not sound that far from reality. I guess the parent is referencing this kind of study: > The overall average cost to own and operate a new car in 2025 is $11,577 (decrease of $719 from 2024). https://newsroom.aaa.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/UPDATE-AAA-Fact-Sheet-Your-Driving-Cost-9.2025-1.pdf https://newsroom.aaa.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/UPDATE-A...
