CPMBy BrickSquad ALPHA 0.4

Vehicle ownership research

What does it actually cost to own?

The sticker price isn't what a car costs you. CPM adds up the money that leaves and never comes back (depreciation, fuel, insurance, repairs, tax, registration, interest) and divides it by the miles you drive. Then it shows what moving up from your current car really costs, per mile and per month.

Your scenario

How long you'll keep it, how far you drive, where you live and how you pay. These apply to every car. Numbers for one specific car live on its sticker.

Location

Money if you finance

Energy today's prices

Your current car the one you'd keep or trade

Advanced assumptions opportunity cost, selling costs, how much miles hit resale

The spectrum

Every car runs through the same model with your assumptions. Tap a name for its ownership sticker. Grab ⠿ to drag cars into your own order.

Head-to-head

Up to five cars, same assumptions, side by side. Add or drop one with Compare on any row.

Find the outliers

Scaled to the main pack. Anything far outside it is pinned to the edge with its value, so one Lamborghini doesn't flatten everything else. The dark line is your baseline.

Add a car

Found one on Cars & Bids, BaT or a dealer lot? Enter it here. It runs through the same model as every other car and stays in this browser.

Workspaces

Save a setup ("Overlander shortlist", "Daily under $1/mile") and come back to it later.

    How CPM works

    Short version: count the money that disappears, not the money you park in the car and get back when you sell.
