To determine which automobiles are Vincentric's Best Value in America ™ for 2009, the organization evaluatedover 2,000 different vehicle configurations by measuring eight different cost categories: Depreciation, Fuel Costs, Insurance, Financing, Maintenance, Repairs, State Fees & Taxes, and Opportunity Cost. These ownership costs were then compared to the ownership costs expected for a typical vehicle at the same price in the same vehicle segment. This process results in a statistical analysis that enables Vincentric to determine which vehicles have earned the honor of being named Vincentric's Best Value in America™.
