I am constantly tweaking what will be my retirement budget and am trying to get closer to a number I feel is realistic. One line I am unsure of is the Automobile Repair and Depreciation.
So, I buy used cars and keep them 3-5 years. Cars are usually 15k-25k purchases. I don't have enough history to see what my real depreciation rate is, so wondered what people here use.
My numbers tell me $250 a month is safe and provides a nice car and repairs as needed. Thoughts?
