I drive 104 miles a day for work. My last car was free and lasted 75,000 miles. It died at 340,000 miles. I spent between 7500-12000$ in gas over the vehicle life.
An EV wouldn't of paid off
Current work vehicle is a van I paid off 4 years ago and have owned for about 8 years. I spend at $5 a gallon about $4330 a year in gas. And the vehicle only cost me $15000 when I bought it in 2014
Until Ev's come down to sub $25,000 and battery degradation worries are gone, I'm out. I keep my vehicles on average 10+ years and a few hundred thousand miles.
You are correct sir.
I agree, we should all get free vehicles.
Add a boat, plane, cell phone, house, healthcare, and food while we are at it.
Why are we comparing the cost of a used or free car to a new car? I mean Carvana has a used Leaf at $11k right now.
What was the new cost of that van and free car adjusted for inflation today?
Nissan Leaf $27k new today ($20k after tax credit)
I think the cheapest new car in 2022 is right at $20-21k
