Plus the time it takes to fix things yourself. I can do some stuff like brakes, but I don't bother because it's a waste of my time. I can pay somebody else to do it that makes less money than me per hour, and I can spend my time doing something I find more enjoyable or working. Tinkering around with high-mileage maintenance issues on a 96 Explorer can't be many people's idea of a good time.
