web site showing running costs by model?

Jan 29, 2009 2 Replies

What Car Magazine has a very detailed chart showing running costs for each model (and breaks it down into depreciation, parts, fuel, etc).



Is there a web site which shows a simpler chart of running costs for SECOND HAND cars?



WhatCar.co.uk and parkers.co.uk seem to want you to give make, model, trim & year before showing any info. That sort of approach makes it almost impossible to browse.



Thing is, with second hand cars there are so many variables - mileage, style of driving, repairs can be a bit of a gamble with any car that's out of warranty, so I imagine it's pretty hard to give reasonably accurate running costs. New cars are easy - they base running costs on a set annual mileage over 3 years, which in virtually all cases will be entirely covered by manufacturer/dealer warranty, so reasonably accurate.

Yup, being able to browse by cost instead of specific model would be a great idea.

Have a look at the lease hire rates.
