Do you think having more than one car is not financially wise for an average individual?

[Min George]

The cost of just fuelling for two cars is something that could overwhelm an average income person in a week.

My parents have three cars though. But they are above average level plus they do their best to maintain the car well and keep it from breaking down.

To not talk about the shamefully high annual car taxation. In my current country, car taxation is more than fifteen times the European tax. An utility small car, a simple vehicle, can cost 3500 reais per year (currently, about 650 dollars) just in taxes.

There are so many things which you need to consider, you must ask yourself how much you earn if you can be able to take care of the car it's not all about owing the car but how to maintain it for me I will say one car is enough for average man

One car per person is enough. Considering that a lot of times a whole family must count on a single car only (what means difficulties if both the spouses need a car to reach the place where they work, at the point many couples need a car per person). Sometimes the children get obliged to skip school days if the father or the mother needs the car to go to work extra-time. But there is nothing to do when a family can't maintain more than one car.

Yes I perfectly agree with you that owning two cars is not a wise choice for a middle class individual. In these times it is also starting to become a luxury to have even just one.

I stand with you on this. The cost of maintaining cars is really much now. And having more than one is just pressure for an average person.

That's the reason I didn't buy a car. I use public transport.

The same does my couple. In my current country, owning a car means to live plunged into debt forever, due to the expenses explained before. To not talk about the purchasing price, that's four times the European price to buy the same vehicle. Unfortunately, the families who have children under the legal age find themselves in great need of a car and consequently they often get indebted.

Cars depreciate in value over time, and owning multiple cars means you're experiencing depreciation on multiple vehicles.
