I was just pointing out that the reference used by GP is specifically about new cars.

Also, your second reference is also about new cars. I cannot believe anyone spending ~$1000/year on a maintenance of a 'new' car. First three years while it is still covered by warranty you will need an oil/filter change once a year and no new tires. $50/year at the official dealer was the maintenance cost of the last four new cars I owned.
