Nebenkosten beim Autokauf?

Ich habe mir vor demnächst ein Auto zu kaufen, ich hab 8k zur Verfügung und wollte mir so etwas wie einen Opel insignia oder Mazda 6 holen, vielleicht sogar ne c-klasse, meine frage ist jetzt was das an Unterhaltskosten und Nebenkosten kostet, mein vater sagt mir andauernd ich soll mir nen Kleinwagen kaufen weil die viel günstiger als eine Limousine sind stimmt das so, sind Limousinen so viel teurer?

Hello Dominik!

The Mercedes C-Class as a C180 automatic I have been driving myself for years and must say that the car is very economical. Inspections are due once a year or every 15,000 kilometers or every two years the inspection and oil change every year, brake fluid (approx.80 euros) comes every two years. I actually let everything go with Mercedes – the most expensive was the big 270,000s inspection last year for over 1100 euros, but there was ALL down to the axle survey and the TÜV, the inspection has cleaned perhaps 850 euros. The reliability is good, mine has reached 283.300 kilometers (as of yesterday evening) and it was not much broken except wear, sometimes a light engine, sometimes the cooler, that was pretty. Over the years I have determined an average consumption of 8.3 liters of Super (E5) in daily commuting to work, which is completely fine.

For 8,000 euros, however, I would not buy a four-cylinder petrol because the M271 petrol engine is a problem-maker – only the control chain damage after a cut of 80.-120.000 kilometers are annoying and, apart from that, also unacceptable for a “premium brand”, because I can drive a toothed belt or buy a japse that has a sturdy chain.

The Mazda 6 is for example a great car, the Ford Mondeo is also recommended. Opel Insignia … can be done, but does not come to the Mondeo and the Mazda ran, has various errors in detail and works cheaper.

I’m trying to explain it like this: The entertainment costs are at the typical middle class with a normal average income easy to create. You already pay more than a small car, but not automatically a lot more, only BMW is a very expensive factory even with a small threesome in terms of parts.

I wouldn’t say that so easily, but your father’s statements are not about.

Mainly, you should note the following:

  • Fuel (consumption is therefore relevant)
  • Insurance
  • Service (inspections, oil change etc)

Consumption is of course often higher by a limo, simply because it weighs more and more often also larger engines are installed. In addition, many small cars are worth being as cheap as possible.

The insurance can also be more expensive, but this depends exactly on the vehicle. Here you can HUK24 calculator use to see which vehicle would cost about how much.

And also at the service, of course, you can assume that a C-Class eats more money than a cute small car without special buckling.

It’s best for the comparison to find out some cars you could imagine and compare the cost. You can calculate fuel and insurance exactly. At the service you have to look at what you find and make a rough estimate. The Internet will certainly help you.

And yes, even the car control can be different, but every year only makes a tiny difference which is not relevant here as long as both cars have the same drive type. On the other hand, if the limo is a diesel, it can make a big difference (but of course it is only indirectly related to the shape of the vehicle).

You have to calculate this yourself, I know in particular your kilometers, your way of driving etc.

Look at how much km you drive a year. Ideally, you have been in possession of a vehicle beforehand and know that. Otherwise, take the German average (approximately 13,000km/year) and then consider how much you drive yourself (whether it’s more or less or you’re quite normal and just come to the 13,000). You can calculate the insurance once. You can also calculate exactly how much fuel this costs a month up to the cent. But note: As you know, the consumption data are often wishful thinking. Until recently, there have been NEFZ (New European Driving Cycle). First of all, it is no longer new, secondly, it is the biggest ass: The average speed is 33km/h and the vehicle is 25% of the time. Everything but realistic – especially for vehicles with start-stop automatic. It is now measured with WLTP. There are already much more realistic values. That’s why you also need to know that in the “older” vehicles (including definitely all who are of interest to you) the consumption still deviates significantly from reality. 5.5l means more 6.5 liters in everyday life with relaxed driving.

For service costs, google times. For example, you may find bills in the forums, find the service booklet and can check what it costs, etc. And as you said correctly, the more often the vehicle is available, the better for service costs. A Mercedes is of course also often more expensive to service than an Opel. You should also consider this. You can then roughly calculate what the vehicle costs. You just write Vlt with sellers. And before buying, ask what’s next (shock strap/control chain etc).

Yes, insurance and taxes are more important than the purchase price of the car.

New addition is the fuel consumption due to the energy crisis, whether gasoline, diesel, car gas or electricity.

Again: The purchase price is practically no matter if the monthly costs are currently rising from about 200 to about 3,000 euros, depending on the car class.

Your father’s right.

If you don’t drive it and it’s just in the garage, so it’s not registered and you don’t use fuel: about 200 euros a month.
If you use it and drive about 30 kilos per day: due to the current energy crisis approx. 1600 euros a month.

more than the price of the car.

That is at best conditional. The value loss factor will be overlooked, but can easily account for more than half of the total cost. The higher the purchase price.

Or you do it like a lot: Just apply for citizen money. Then all costs, including all incidental costs and energy costs, are taken over by the state.

Not anymore. This is what is being discussed in the daily politics. Also the renting costs. VIele people now lose their homes because they can no longer pay for them.
Why does that mean “energy crisis.”
