“By measuring all costs buyers incur when owning a car, we deliver a data-driven analysis that identifies which vehicles provide the best value over time,” Vincentric president David Wurster said in a news release. “The insight gained by these awards not only informs buyers, but it also helps dealers and OEMs understand which vehicles are delivering value and which vehicles might need to have their cost structure re-evaluated.”

Vincentric measures cost-of-ownership across eight different cost factors: depreciation, fees and taxes, financing, fuel, insurance, maintenance, opportunity cost and repairs.
