Well, then there's also a bunch of other stuff I didn't mention:

  • cleaning the car costs a little every now and thrn because you mustn't do it in your driveway
  • speeding tickets and other violations occur depending on how well you abide by the rules
  • TÜV et al. cost a little every few years
  • some parts may break due to bad luck - even Toyota cannot prevent stone chips on your windshield

There are a lot of small hidden costs which all add up, even on cheap cars.

which is all true. and that is the cost i'm willing to pay to drive my car. if you think you can not afford to drive a car, don't.
