TCO is an easy to use car ownership calculator that gives you the ability to assess your next car purchase, over its life. The rational side of your brain will thank you as TCO strips out all of those messy calculations and returns a clear and concise result.

TCO looks at all aspects of car ownership, from purchase, to service, right down to financing, insurance and fuel type; it even asks you how you intend to use the car. All of these have a bearing on the cost of your car over its life. Simply input the variables requested and TCO does the rest. Forget the adverts and the sales people, TCO will tell you how cost effective the car really is.

A key feature of TCO is its ability to compare a range of cars on a single compare screen. You can build a car profile on the app using information supplied online or from the dealer, save it and compare it against a myriad of other vehicles, all at the tip of your fingers. Not only that, the saved profiles can be modified, so if you find a dealer that can offer you a better purchase price, finance rate or capped price servicing option, TCO will show you how much that will actually save you.

For most people, buying a car is a large investment decision. Choose incorrectly and you could be stuck with an asset that costs you more than you initially thought. TCO certainly cannot protect you against all the pitfalls present when buying a car, but it does give you valuable information that reduces your risk.

Saint Innovations wishes you well with your next car purchase and trust that TCO will assist you in making an intelligent, rational decision. This leaves you with one very important decision that TCO cannot help you with; what colour should your next car be?
