The cheapest cars to buy are not surely the cheapest to keep! That is the most important factor that we must keep in mind when choosing our next vehicle. If you are lucky and win a low priced car it doesn't necessarily mean that it's really a budget car: you have to consider the expenses on insurance, fuel, maintenance and repairs you will have to invest in it. The price you negotiate for a car is only a part of the cost of owning a new vehicle. Depreciation, taxes and fees, and what you pay over the years are all important components in the long-term cost of ownership.
Considering that a four wheels auto is a great advantage, that allows you to move faster from one point to another safely and without any delays, you have definitely have to own a car of your own. But don't forget to make a wise choice in choosing one that will not only be your helper in locomotion but will save you money on its maintenance.
Pay attention to fuel price which shows the costs for regular - $3.58/gallon; premium - $3.81/gallon; diesel - $3.88.
