vehicle costs
Cars, horses, and bikes are all vehicles, and all have different costs.
Vehicles are paid for every week, the default value is 0.5% of the vehicle’s
value, but those with multiple vehicles garaged may pay less for their extra
ones if they aren’t being loaned out, with the discount increasing based on
the owner’s wealth stat. Cost is also affected by society positions if the
character involved is in a society with spiritual or material inclinations;
these are displayed in the helpfile for society positions but will be
replicated here.
Vehicle cost depends on quality level and vehicle class, though the individual
type of vehicle has no bearing: a tough vehicle and a luxury vehicle cost the
same. Bear in mind that vehicles with two types (luxury sports cars, tough
vans, and so on) cost twice as much for each quality level.
