Best 10, Worst 10 Cars for Repair Costs

... I had listed my luxury car and got a sudden surprised the cost of the maintenance:( If you have one of these cars listed below better take a look at the Cost of the repairs. I got this information from yahoo!:)

Consumer Reports magazine says maintenance and repair costs combine to equal about 4 percent of the total cost of owning a car over the course of five years.


Maintenance includes scheduled work -- like oil changes, tuneups, filter replacements and tire rotation -- and unscheduled replacements such as batteries, brakes, tires and exhaust systems. Many repairs are covered by a new car's warranty, especially in the first few years, but can mount up after the warranty expires.


Here's a look at what are expected to be the 10 most expensive and the 10 least expensive 2008 model cars for maintenance and repairs over a five-year time frame.

Yay, mine is on the cheap list.

Still doesn't mean I'm going to get that scratched bumper fixed. It doesn't bother me so I'm not going to spend the money to replace the whole thing.
