Argentina, el segundo más caro
La consultora británica Scrap Car Comparison realizó un estudio acerca del costo de compra y mantenimiento de los autos 0km en todo el mundo. Y llegó a la conclusión de que Australia, cuando se compara con el ingreso salarial promedio, es el país más barato para usar un auto. La Argentina, como ya sospechaban los golpeados bolsillos de los automovilistas locales, es el segundo más caro.
El estudio de la consultora se realizó sobre la base de cruzar tres datos: las cifras oficiales de salarios promedio de cada país, el costo de compra promedio de autos 0km y el costo de mantenimiento (también promedio) de un auto en cada una de esas naciones.
De esta manera, se estableció que el costo de comprar y pagar los gastos de un auto 0km impacta sobre el 49.4% del ingreso salarial promedio de Australia. En Estados Unidos, el monto llega al 54.8% y en Dinamarca alcanza al 60.3%.
Por supuesto, el costo es mucho más bajo cuando se trata de comprar y mantener autos usados, pero lo interesante del estudio es que refleja qué tan accesible resulta para el trabajador promedio acceder a un 0km (y pagar su mantenimiento).
O qué tan inaccesible.
Es el caso de los países que integran el último puesto de la tabla. La nación donde resulta más caro comprar un 0km y mantenerlo es Turquía, donde los autos demandan hasta 652% de un salario anual promedio. El segundo escalón en el podio es para Argentina: 515%.
Sudamérica se quedó con los tres puestos que siguen: Colombia (508%), Uruguay (442%) y Brasil (441%).
“Para muchos, comprar un auto es sinónimo de libertad. Significa tener un vehículo para moverse y hacer lo que uno quiera, cuando quiera. Los autos son parte esencial de la vida diaria de mucha personas, pero tienen su costo. Y no hablamos sólo de la compra inicial”, señala el informe de Scrap Car Comparison.
“Los salarios juegan un rol fundamental para definir qué tan accesible pueda ser un vehículo en cada país. En las naciones con ingresos bajos, es mucho más caro comprar y mantener un 0km, por más que los precios puedan resultar comparativamente más bajos que en el resto del mundo”, agregó el informe (leer completo abajo).

The Cheapest and Most Expensive Countries to Own a Car Revealed by New Study
* Australia is officially the cheapest country to run a car, according to a new study from Scrap Car Comparison
* The study cross-referenced car costs such as purchase prices, insurance, fuel and repairs against the average salary in each country
* The car-centric United States ranked as the 2nd cheapest country overall, while the United
* Kingdom ranked in 9th, below the likes of France and Germany
* Turkey came out as the most expensive country to run a car
Australia has been crowned as the most affordable place to own and run a car, according to a new study by Scrap Car Comparison.
The research analysed average new car costs within each country, in addition to other financial obligations of owning a car, such as insurance and breakdown cover, the price of fuel and even how much repairs could set drivers back. These costs were then weighted against national average earnings to discover how affordable four wheels actually are around the world.
With a lower average income and comparatively high car purchase prices, Turkey ranked as the most expensive place to own a new motor, above the likes of Argentina, Colombia and Uruguay. While on the other end of the scale, Australia proved to be the country that makes it easiest financially for drivers to get out on the road, ranking as the most affordable place to own a car in the world.
The United States of America, a country where car ownership is a big part of the culture ranked second, with 55% of an American’s annual salary required to purchase and run a new car. Neighbouring Canada ranked just outside of the top three in fourth, while many European countries also placed favourably, with Sweden, Germany and France all proving to be value for money while out on the roads. The United Kingdom, with a slightly higher cost of living, still managed to sneak in the top 10 in ninth.
Ukraine however ranked as another European country where residents could be priced out of car ownership, just two spots behind Turkey as one of the most expensive countries to own a car.
Dan Gick, Managing Director of Scrap Car Comparison commented: “For many, being able to own a car means freedom. It’s your tool for being able to go, see and do what you want, whenever you want – something that has become even more important during the COVID-19 pandemic.
With this in mind, we wanted to see where it is actually most affordable not only to buy a car, but to run one too, right down to the cost of repairing a fault. Being based in the UK, it was good to see the nation ranking within the most affordable top 10. However, we all still know that purchasing a car is one of life’s biggest outlays, so hope our cost comparison service can help owners get the best return for their old vehicles, and better set them up when it comes to affording a new car”.
Countries where average cost data is readily available for earnings, car price, insurance, repair and fuel were analysed, while countries with no available car cost data for comparison were removed from the study. Car prices were averaged from two popular models, and added to average fuel, insurance and repair costs before being weighed against average yearly salaries, to calculate the final rankings. The results reveal the percentage of each countries’ average yearly salary (per person) required to purchase and run a new car.
