Why Are Cost-to-Own Values Important?

Kelley Blue Book compiles these rankings to let consumers know which vehicles have the lowest costs to own over five years to give them a chance to gauge how much to budget for buying these new vehicles. The number takes into account insurance, auto loans, and regular maintenance (tires, oil changes, brakes, spark plugs) that vehicles may need over the course of their first five years of ownership.
