Part 1: Rethinking Car Ownership: From Expense to Investment –

Introducing Cost Per Mile
In today's economy, owning a vehicle is often viewed as a necessary but burdensome expense. It feels like you're constantly paying out money—from the loan payment to the gas pump to the occasional surprise repair bill. However, at DeBoer's Auto, we encourage a paradigm shift: think of your car not in terms of those sporadic bills, but as an investment measured by Cost Per Mile (CPM).
This metric—total ownership costs divided by the miles you drive—provides a much more accurate picture of how affordable your car truly is. It helps you maximize its value over its entire lifespan.
