Ford Ka 1.0 SE

Just like the Volkswagen Gol, the Ka, a vehicle manufactured by Ford, is also historic in our country. Present since 1996, it went from being one of the most fuel-efficient hatchbacks in Brazil to one of the best-selling sedans in the country. 

Ford Ka 1.0 SE – Mr. Cars

The Ford Ka is on the list of the best affordable cars on the market. Considering its price since its first generation, the Ka has a value that fits in your pocket, especially the basic Ford Ka, which in 1997 cost R$11,000, becoming the cheapest car offered by Ford at the time. 

Despite all the visible and independent evolution, the Ford Ka gained new versions with improvements and new details. However, it lost its title as a good and cheap economical car, because with the Ford Ka 1.0 SE version, it no longer fits among the good and cheap cars to maintain. According to research by iCarrosThe Ford Ka 1.0 SE has a very high price tag to maintain. 

The vehicle's price is estimated at around R$ 49,240.00A relatively high price for some, but since we are including vehicles with a limit of R$ 50,000.00, the Ka fits within our list. Now we will list the expenses:

  • Acquisition Value: R$ 41,520.00
  • Depreciation Value: R$ 12,201.64 (29,39%)
  • Mandatory fees: R$ 5,390.10
  • Mandatory insurance: R$ 204.30
  • Optional insurance: R$ 4,125.51
  • Revision: R$ 1,996.00
  • Washing: R$ 1,800.00
  • Fuel: R$ 15,126.67
  • Cost over 3 years: R$ 40,844.21
  • Monthly cost: R$ 1,134.56

Conclusion 

Vehicle expenses will always exist, whether it's a good, inexpensive car or a luxurious, expensive one. It's important to evaluate every detail of the financial acquisition before buying any vehicle, new or used. Owning a car is like owning a house, and maintaining your house with food and bills is equivalent to maintaining your car with fuel and expenses paid. If you're deciding to buy your first car or upgrade your vehicle, don't buy a car whose costs exceed your income. The models we present are indeed expensive to maintain, but they are still worthwhile; otherwise, they wouldn't be the best-selling cars in the country. 

In short, owning a car is difficult, maintaining it is even more difficult. But when things are right and you're out and about with your family, everything becomes easier. Because that's priceless.
