What Goes into a Cost to Own Rating?
Using a variety of factors, the professionals at KBB are able to put together estimates of the projected cost of owning a vehicle for 5 years. This is how they figure a cost to own rating for vehicles less than 5 years old. Several of the factors that contribute to the calculations include the cost of fuel, car insurance, regular maintenance, financing, state fees, and the vehicle’s depreciation rate. While all of these come into play when ranking the vehicles, the most important factor is depreciation.
