I recently did a comparison between my Boxster and my Prius (gasp) with all costs being included. 5 years of depreciation was the huge item but it came to $5k or so per year for everything from depreciation, insurance, gas, tax, repairs, maintenance, improvements, etc. Granted I bought at the $28k price point. But then my maintenance and repair costs were trivial. Well, other than the tires.
The bought new Prius for the same period/miles was only 30% cheaper. And lots less fun. I volunteered to go shopping in the Boxster ....
