Why this site exists

We're not trying to build another car website. We're trying to build a place where people understand the financial consequences of owning a car before they spend their money.

Hi, I'm Billy Jones from St. Louis, the owner of Driveonomics.com. I built this site based on a conversation with my daughter. She was looking for a car and getting very frustrated with the sticker prices and salesmen trying to sell her something she did not want.

It's very simple. I built this site to help the common man make it easy on one of the biggest purchases of their lives.

What the site does

Driveonomics shows the true cost of a car over five years, the price, the loan, the gas, the insurance, the upkeep, so you can see the whole number before you sign anything.
