<prompt> Human: EDIT: The total cost of ownership is 49 cents per mile.I updated the fuel costs and parking costs below.My vehicle, a 2008 Lexus RX 350 recently hit 180000 miles. I bought this car used at 60000 miles back in 2010 and its been a great car. I have tracked all expenses associated with it and decided to break it down and figure out what the car has cost me over this time. So here it is:Maintenance - 8752 this includes oil changes, tire replacements, brake jobs and everything in between The car has always gone to the dealer and while that has inflated the cost a bit, I dont think this cost is in anyway excessive. The headlights were replaced due to excessive moisture but Lexus did this for free out of warranty, which speaks volumes to me about their customer service, especially since the cost back in 2011 was 3633.Depreciation: 19305. This car was bought used in 2010 and inclusive of all the taxes and fees ended up being 24487. It was paid in cash so not accounting for interest here. The KBB value as of today is 5182.EDIT: The sticker cost of this car new was 38800. I bought it used at the dealer for 24487 about 2.5 years lated. The car was not certified, had no warranty and came AS IS.Insurance: 10440, this is an average of 116 per month. While insurance has gone slightly up and down over the years, this is the average.Fuel: 14347.82, This car delivers an average both city and highway combined of 23 MPG and since the car has spent its life in multiple states, I took an average gas cost of 2.75 per gallon. Keep in mind gas costs were quite high during the earlier part of this decade so this figure is probably on the lower side.EDIT: I looked up the 2017 Lexus RX350 gas mileage by mistake before, apparently mine is only 20 as pointed out by someone below. Updating figure to 16500.DMV Fees and tickets: 1380. It cost roughly 72 per year to keep this car registered. This is the average of registration costs over multiple states. Also I added 804 in the 3 tickets received driving this vehicle and its associated court costs. Looking at this table below, it looks like my costs were quite low. Guess the no finance and interest charges really helped here:EDIT: Parking: 2681. My work charges me to park, this is deducted straight through my paycheck. I forgot to add this to my total cost of ownership before. This total is for 8 years.For those asking why I added things like court costs and parking, etc., the reason i did this, was that I wanted to include the total cost of owning a car. I used to use public transit before and any costs I did not have then, IMHO, should be included now far a fair comparison. For example I am not including the cost of getting a driving license, since I had that before anyway and you still need it for things like going through security at the airport.  <response>: Cool info, fun to track and see it all laid out. I did chuckle a bit because your car has depreciated more in value than my car has cost me total since 2006. Neat share man.
