How We Calculate Cost of Ownership
CarMatch estimates five-year cost to own by modeling each major expense a Mazda owner faces over five years and ~75,000 miles, then summing them. Figures are independent estimates from our own model — no dealer pays to influence them — and are refined as verified valuation and cost data come online.
