7'000 per year for a car? How much are you driving? The average is "only" 14'000 miles per year (median much lower). At 5$/gallon and 25 MPG that are fuel cost of 2'800 $. The rest combined should be below the fuel cost.

    Yeah ... I have no idea how they came up with such a figure.

    5-7k a year? If you need an engine or transmission replacement every year, maybe. Or if you have an expensive-to-maintain import (like OOP's bimmer) and you take it to a specialist mechanic every time it has the slightest hiccup.

    But for 5-7k a year, you could be entirely replacing the car every year.
