But what about the cost of ownership? Depreciation? Estimated repair costs? Build quality? While those factors may play a part if your decision to buy a new car or sell your car, they may not be as high on the cost-benefit analysis as perhaps they should be.
Let's take a deeper look at one of those factors: estimated repair costs. Car models are being updated, refreshed and replaced at a quicker and quicker rate. Automakers used to go many years between model updates, But, today, you'll frequently see face-lifts every few years with new models following shortly thereafter.Therefore, when looking at a new car and its potential repair needs over a few years, there isn't a lot of time to gather actual repair statistics for one model over an extended period of time (say five years). So you have to look at a specific vehicle, the Audi S4, for example, and look at trends of repairs and costs over several models and many years, you get a good estimate of repair costs.
That's exactly what Cars.com has done for pretty much every car on the market today.
