The cost of owning your car? $9,000 a year
Larry Copeland, USA TODAY 12:01 a.m. EDT April 16, 2013
The cost of owning a car is up about 2% over last year, driven largely
by higher maintenance costs
Maintenance costs rose as extended warranty policy prices went up due to
more people filing claims
Insurance, fuel, depreciation costs also went up; the cost of tires was
unchanged at 1 cent per mile
The average owner of a sedan has to shell out nearly $10,000 a year to own
and operate that car, according to auto club AAA.
A new AAA reports shows, on average, the cost of driving 15,000 miles a year
rose 1.17 cents to 60.8 cents per mile, or $9,122 per year. Overall, that's
a roughly 2% increase on the cost of operating a car last year.
Auto club AAA studies five cost categories – maintenance, fuel, tires,
insurance and depreciation – for its annual "Your Driving Costs" study.
The biggest percentage increase this year was in maintenance costs, which
grew by 11.26% to 4.97 cents per mile, on average, for sedan owners. Average
costs in all categories are lower for smaller vehicles and higher for
bigger ones.
The maintenance cost estimates are based on the cost to maintain a vehicle
and perform needed repairs for five years and 75,000 miles, including labor
expenses, replacement part prices and the purchase of an extended warranty.
"As a vehicle gets older you tend to encounter more significant repair costs
," says Michael Calkins, AAA's manager of technical services.
Since last year's study, there were substantial increases in labor and parts
costs for some models, and a significant rise in the price of extended
warranties. "People are keeping cars longer," Calkins says. "Extended
warranties are seeing a bit of an increase in claims. That's where the costs
have gone up."
The second biggest increase: Insurance costs, which rose 2.76%, or $28, to
an annual average of $1,029. AAA's insurance cost estimates are based on a
low-risk driver with a clean driving record.
Fuel costs rose 1.93% to 14.45 cents per mile for the average sedan owner.
The actual average cost of regular gas went up 3.84% to $3.49 per gallon;
but several of the vehicles in the AAA study had small improvements in fuel
efficiency, which partially offset the fuel cost increase.
Depreciation costs, which had dropped in last year's study, ticked upward
slightly, by .78% to $3,571 a year. That might be because, as new vehicle
sales recover, more used cars are available, which has softened the resale
value of clean older models, Calkins says.
"The length of time people keep cars has been going up for the past several
years, since the real estate crash," he says. "The average age of the
vehicle on the road now is 11.1 years. It's not just for financial reasons
that people are keeping cars long. The quality of the cars is also improving
."
Tire costs did not change from last year, remaining at about one cent per
mile, on average, for sedan owners.
AAA has published "Your Driving Costs" since 1950. That year, gas cost 27
cents a gallon, and it cost about 9 cents a mile to drive 10,000 miles a
year.
