Hi All,
I was just working out a Cost sheet today of a Second hand Maruti Zen that I had purchased in November 2006. The reason for the analysis was to find out how much I had spent on Owning the Car in the last 9 month. The working below will give all a fair idea. The only point to note is I took ownership of the Car in Nov 2006 and my EMI's started in January, so all cost have been calcuated for 9 months and EMI's for 7 months. I was preety surprised by the figures and have started wondering weather I should have purchased a New Car instaed of bying a second hand one.
About the Car, well since it was my first Car purchase, I have learnt a lot about cars and for some strange reason like the 99 Carb Zen VX, though I think it is under powered. I'm now keen on getting some body work done as there a rust at palces that's got to be taken care of.
I would really appreciate some comments on the Cost of ownership that I'm posting, as I would like to know the way I'm calculating is right or not and if I would have been better off buying a new car in the first place.
