Most Costly Cars To Maintain & Repair || This Will Shock You

They say 90% of all Land Rovers manufactured are still on the road … while the other 10% have managed to reach their destination.

You must be doing something right when manufacturers are complaining 🤔

This is exactly the type of consumer-focused content I come to this channel to get. Excellent work Shari. Keep it up.

I’m a mechanic. My family only drives naturally aspirated Toyota’s because I don’t like working on my own cars in addition to everyone else’s.

I know that Porsche is the car brand which took down his previous video on this topic because they have a long history of suing others

Dude, you're a hero to the common man for re-posting and making sure this information is known.

Tesla requires expensive tires every 20000 miles, has higher insurance, and if you cant charge at home, you have to consider charging wait time , remember time is money.

Tesla is hard to believe........their battery is very expensive.....EV tires are expensive....moreover, insurance companies just dump Tesla's in scrapyard if involved in minor accidents.....u can find cheaper Teslas from scrapyard🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪

Thank you for holding your ethics, not selling out, and being a trusted advisor. Pure respect!

Retirees who struggle to meet their basic needs are the ones who could not accumulate enough money during their active years to meet their needs. Retirement choices determine a lot of things. My parents both spent same number of years in the civil service, but my mom was investing through a wealth manager, and my dad through the 401k.

My 2003 Lexus ES300 has cost me very little money over the years. I didn't even need new brakes until 55K miles. I just replaced the front struts. Other than that, it's been super-reliable and just regular service. Didn't replace tires until 50K miles.

Audi has 4 zeroes as it's emblem. It comes from the repair bills that owners have when they get out of warranty.

Nine years in on my VW Golf MK7 1.8t running a stage one+ tune with zero failures. No repairs, just maintenance.

My daughter bought a 2010 Dodge Journey years ago and man what a money pit that thing was. My mechanic warned me when she first bought it. I used to take it for it's annual state inspection every year and so often he would call me into the garage area with it up on the lift and it was never good news. He would show me the problem. Best thing that happened to it was when she hit a deer, and the insurance company totaled it. Gave her a down payment on a Rav IV.

In Europe it is slightly different. Every garage knows how to fix a VW, Audi, Seat, Skoda, as theY are basically the same car and every spares manufacturer makes the parts. So...... Actually quite cheap. And since 2015 they have reliable engines and parts

Way to go! You sidestepped them. One would think they’d do more to be more reliable.

Thank you for being a true advocate. You earned our loyalty!

A key factor for maintenance/repair costs is whether you use dealer vs independent service vendors. For example, when my 2017 BMW X1 was beyond the 3-yr "free" service period in 2021 the dealer quoted me $700+ for routine oil/filter + scheduled maintenance, while a local "German" independent service cost $356. Likewise, run flat tires for BMW wear out more quickly (10K miles) and cost much more to replace than non-RFT. But, if you replace tires outside of the dealer and use more durable, non-RFT, then the cost can be 50% less. However, after owning 2 BMWs and 3 Hondas, for sure the maintenance cost for the BMWs is much higher....like maybe 50% more. As for Tesla, I think you need to consider the extremely high insurance costs + lifespan of the batteries (re-sale value) at the 10-yr mark. Of more relevance to your post......is the cost of maintenance repair more for hybrid vs non-hybrid versions of the same make/model (e.g Honda CRV) equivalent? Same Q for AWD vs RWD, since for AWD a flat, non-repairable tire might mean replacing 2- or 4-tires. Anyway, the cost of ownership at the 10-yr mark is the combined maintenance/repairs + fuel/Kwh + insurance over the same period + residual value. I think a mid-size SUV like my 2023 Honda CRV (EX-L, FWD) has the best balance of build quality, function, durability, insurance, simple design, etc. for all ownership $$ costs (my first OOP oil change at a local shop cost $73). Sure, I considered an Acura RDX and Lexus RX350 when I bought the CRV, but the $10-20+K additional cost was not justified for the incremental prestige factor!

I’m an original owner of a 2008 Toyota Yaris. Replace 1 battery. It has a manual 5 speed. I can get 40 mpg when I’m ez on the pedal. I’m keeping it.

Agree with your Lexus evaluation. My 20 yr old RX still running and driving well. My ‘newer’ 2015 NX 200 still a great, reliable car. TY for reminding me of the costs of other luxury car expenses. I will hold onto to what I have.
