Are they classifying areas by the "crime rate"?

Also, aren't maintenance and insurance costs too low?

    That maintenance is high for a new car. I didn't spend anything in the first 3 years I had my new car, and even after that it was more like $500 a year, not $150 a month.

    They didn't include a new car though, and a 20,000 SUV is not going to be in a like new state, its going to need some upkeep. $1800/yr is probably a little low. That's one semi serious issue without including oil changes, or tires, or brakes.
