It all depends on what car you get. you may get a car that is in need of some serious work or you may get one that's perfect and your old one need a ton of work...
i went from a 03 Escape that cost me $3000 in repairs in less than a year, some of it was regular maintenance but still. I got a Civic and am saving about $90 per month and so far i haven't put any money into repairs. To me this car was a huge benefit but I guess if i bought a "lemon" it would be different
