No matter how old or new your car is, it should be expected that it will undergo repairs in its entire lifespan. It is the inevitable part of owning a vehicle. You have to spend some money to keep it in tiptop condition. However, you might get a headache when you know that the vehicle you possess is one of the most expensive models to be repaired. Here take a look at this.

The first on the list are the luxury vehicles Audi A8 and Mercedes-Benz G Class. Both have an estimated $1,640 of five-year repair costs. Joining these two vehicles in the top five are Jaguar XK at $1,629, Land Rover Range Rover at $1,600, and Mercedes-Benz CL Class at $1,540.

Please do note that these estimated costs of repair of the above-mentioned vehicles do not include yet maintenance costs. Meaning, when you own a model included in the list, it would cost you a lot to maintain its good condition through time. However, it does not mean that when you pay too much for repair, these vehicles are of low quality already. The reality here is that what is really expensive in these vehicles is the cost of labor and replacement parts. It is even said that it would require $100 or more per hour of labor for these vehicles compared to $70 per hour for normal vehicles. The cost of labor is explained by the fact that these vehicles have more complicated systems, therefore requiring a technician to take a special class just to master repairing those. Also, the complicated systems make the vehicle be repaired longer than usual, thus eating most of your dollars.

With this fact, if you are in a tight budget, I advise you to choose a vehicle that is not that expensive to repair. In that case, you would maintain the good condition of your vehicle all year round without spending that much.
