    Are they classifying areas by the “crime rate”?

    Also, aren’t maintenance and insurance costs too low?

      This is how you know the whole thing is BS.

      That maintenance is high for a new car. I didn’t spend anything in the first 3 years I had my new car, and even after that it was more like $500 a year, not $150 a month.

        They didn’t include a new car though, and a 20,000 SUV is not going to be in a like new state, its going to need some upkeep. $1800/yr is probably a little low. That’s one semi serious issue without including oil changes, or tires, or brakes.

          ah that’s right, though you can get a good new car for under $30k, and you probably don’t need an SUV living by yourself

      Insurance rates vary a lot on the plan, personal history, age, sex, location, etc. I can’t remember what I used to pay in the US, but this doesn’t strike me as crazy high or low.
