    Spotted this last night on another forum and thought it was a great idea, it lets you see exactly how much that new car you are lusting after will cost you.

    Needs ExCel, an online version would be nice...

    I think that would put anyone off getting a nice car.
    Nice car first, running costs later!

    Aren't man maths supposed to be wildly optimistic and encourage you to buy something you can't afford but really want?

    Mine was just the Fuel costs and was Excel ported to HTML with a commercial tool cos as noted, doing that manually is the thing of nightmares and fairly specialist.

    I like this calc though!
