CAP's Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) tool helps bring together every piece of the ownership cost jigsaw.
Since buying a car is one of the most expensive purchases that a consumer can make and since no one wants to buy an unreliable vehicle, or to be left out of pocket - having knowledge of a vehicle's life cost is more crucial than ever before.
TCO lets consumers understand the true cost of running a car throughout its lifespan. Monthly and yearly running costs can be calculated and comparisons made between different manufacturer models, including:
- Full vehicle description
- High quality vehicle imagery
- Cost new (MRP)
- Factory fit options and costs (for new vehicles)
- Fuel cost (linked to official figures)
- Maintenance, service and repair costs
- Current value of car
- Value of car at the end of ownership
- Road Fund licence cost
- Cost to run per mile / month / year
- Finance cost**
- Insurance cost**
** custom costs that can be plugged into existing finance/insurance tools
