What are the real costs in owning a car
Many people think that the cost of a car equals to the price of the car and the price of the fuel that you consume. There is no surprise there that it is a false way of thinking through it. When you buy a car you have to calculate so many things that you might not consider being a cost. You have to take in consideration the loss in value, maintenance costs, tyres, insurance costs and even reserve a small budget for unexpected events.
Owning a car is not cheap these days. Taxes form a great deal of the pricing, fuel prices are up and insurance is a cost. When you calculate these and you think about owning a car, you see it in a new perspective. There are some parts however where you can influence on the costs. Naturally you can bargain the price of the car, go for the low-emissions cars and maybe drive a bit less. Some costs however cumulate through the usage and not only the amount of usage but the quality of the usage. For example, the tyres that you have in the car can be used for quite a while if you just do proper maintenance. You have to always have correct pressure in tyre and that can also vary. With tyres best way to save money is to have them properly checked and if needed, repaired. Best place to have the lifeline of your tyres maximized is to go to your local Vianor from time to time and check the condition of the tyres. They will also fix the small errors in tyres if there are some.
Tyres is naturally only a small portion of all the costs when it comes to owning a car but tyre (in Finnish: rengas) is a perfect example of the matter that you really can influence on. Naturally you have to do the same type of regular maintenance work for the engine as well. You have to do regular oil change and other small maintenance jobs in order to keep the condition of the car as high as possible. What is great about Vianor is that they will do also the small maintenance jobs needed for your car.
