Buying or Leasing a Car · Example 12

Estella needs to budget for her car maintenance. She expects to buy new tires each 4 years, which will cost her $480 to replace them all. Oil changes near her cost $49.99, and she believes she will get one every 4 months. Her inspection costs $15 per year. Wipers for her car cost $95 for all three and she anticipates changing them every year. She drives less than 30,000 miles per year, so she plans to replace the air filter once per year. The air filter for her car costs $57.50. How much should she budget per month to cover these costs?
