are a bit suspect. I'd expect maintenance costs to be a lot higher if you are driving 40 hours a week, 50 weeks a year. $3000 seams way to low when you include tires, brakes, oil changes, car washes, insurance and all the other unexpected issues and regular maintenance items. |
I read through those. Subtracting say 1k for insurance, I don't see 2k per year for maintenance as too low once you consider US labour rates in those markets. And increasing those as you like for each $1000 in additional maintenance costs the driver 50 cents per hour.
I think the 16k car assumption with no lease is the faulty assumption and the no between pick up costs.
