What is the average maintenance cost of a car per year?

According to AAA, the average annual maintenance cost of a car depends on the age and mileage of the vehicle. Here are some estimates for cars driven around 15,000 miles per year:

- New cars: $400-$500

- 1-year-old cars: $450-$600

- 3-year-old cars: $600-$800

- 5-year-old cars: $800-$1,000

- 10-year-old cars: $1,200-$1,500

Please note that these are just average costs, and actual expenses may vary depending on factors such as make and model of the car, driving habits, and location. It's also worth considering that some car manufacturers offer extended warranty plans or maintenance programs that can help reduce maintenance costs.
