Kind of useless app

Brette Gleeson-Sutcliffe

Details expenses well from purchased price to annual costs. Confused with 2 questions and what information to give, but given it was a minor stop and think a second moment I think this reflects the terminology & the different States registry requirements. Moneysmart have done a good Job to make this app natonally relatable and user friendly for all Australians regardless of which State or Territory your in but differences in technical talk are apparent.

Great tool. Gives you a realistic idea about how it is not just about buying a car but owing a car, for expenses to keep it running are really high in Australia. Not even talking about asset depreciation. Mind opener.

Diego Torres

Great tool to work out the real cost of buying a car. Sliders are a bit tricky to use - I wouldn't mind being able to enter the numbers.

Nico Rump

Good. Easy to use.

Thomas Mischler
