A car's MSRP alone won't tell you how much it'll really cost you. Depreciation, finance fees, insurance, fuel and repairs are other factors to consider, especially if you plan on keeping your vehicle for more than a few years. If you're a budget-minded shopper, Kelley Blue Book's 5-Year Cost to Own Awards are a great way to find out which models will be less of a drain on your pocketbook. Recently, two of our vehicles were awarded by KBB.com for offering the lowest ownership costs in their respective segments and you can test drive both at Gwinnett Place Ford.
Kelley Blue Book projects that full-size SUV shoppers will have the lowest 5-year ownership costs when purchasing the new 2014 Ford Explorer, while sports car shoppers will get the best deal with the 2014 Ford Mustang.
