10 most expensive brands to maintain over 10 years | Car news


• What types of vehicles cost the most to maintain over a 10-year period? Consumer Reports has the answer.

When buying a new car, the question of maintenance costs must be considered when you plan to keep the model for a long time. It may even play an important role in the decision whether to proceed with the purchase or not.

Of course, with some luxury products, we expect it and are willing to “pay the price” as the saying goes.

Consumer Reports looked at this question to create a list of the 10 car brands that prove to be the most expensive to maintain over a 10-year period. The organization also conducted an exercise on the brands that require the least repair and maintenance costs over a decade.

And as Consumer Reports notes, there are many factors to consider that play a role in maintenance costs. For example, many brands pay for maintenance for a certain period after purchase. Some products are more reliable, but expensive to maintain, while others are less reliable, making them more expensive to maintain.
Nuance is important.
And it can vary in a family of products of the same brand, while car A may perform better than car B. However, it is interesting to see what conclusions we reached after doing this analysis.
