What Are the Monthly Costs of Owning a Car?

Owning a new Ford truck or a used car from our dealership involves various expenses, including:

  • Monthly Car Payments: Depending on the vehicle price, loan terms and your credit score, monthly payments can vary. Our Ford finance experts can help you estimate monthly car payments.

  • Insurance: Coverage costs can differ based on your driving history, location and the vehicle type.

  • Fuel: Fuel efficiency and your driving habits will affect your monthly fuel expenses.

  • Maintenance and Repairs: Regular maintenance, such as oil changes and tire rotations, adds to your ownership costs. Unforeseen repairs can also occur, so it's wise to budget for these.

  • Depreciation: New cars lose value over time. While it's not an out-of-pocket expense, it impacts the car's resale value.
