Recently, we dusted off the old Casio calculator and worked out how much some of the more popular new cars on the market cost to own. The MSRP is just the first number in a long list of how much it costs to own a car. Before driving a new car off, the lot buyers must pay a delivery charge, taxes, and the first insurance installment. Over the following five years, costs such as servicing, fuel, wear and tear items, and finance charges starting up until we reach a final number.
