Most expensive cars to maintain...

boosted43 · 05-26-2012, 06:49 PM

Before you bash me, no I'm not asking what they are. But rather ask that you view this list

Here’s the full list:

Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG
Audi R8
BMW ALPINA B7
Mercedes-Benz CL-Class
Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
Lexus LS 600h L
Mercedes-Benz G-Class
BMW ActiveHybrid 7
Land Rover Range Rover
Nissan GT-R

Is this a joke or what. I can think of Over a dozen cars that are more expensive car to maintain. But anyway. Just for your entertainment.

The article mentions that it's BS that the most expensive cars are not included. So I don't feel misled by it.

What a joke. First, it obviously ignores a ton of cars that should have made the list as the OP mentions. Second, I'd argue who cares? If you can afford anything in the 100k+ price range you are probably not worried about the total cost to own it. How about a list with cars that most people own (20-50k range or something).

funny because my family owns 4 of the cars on that list and they are nowhere near "expensive"

I think Bugatti's are by far the most expensive cars to take care of. Apparently Lamborghini's (at least the newer models) are fairly easy to maintain and aren't that expensive. Most owners say that besides changing the oil on their Gallardo's, they don't have much else to do on them, even with daily and spirited driving.

Am I really seeing a Lexus L-class on there?

Veyron rings the bell on any list.

I thought newer lambos chewed through clutches like noones business

Did anyone actually read the article???

Very clear that the list is pointless and ridiculous....and the article makes that very clear.

Why bother discussing the rankings of such an epic fail?

23k insurance on the gtr, is the owner have criminal record and a few accidents under his belt or something?

I have never seen a gtr insurance even 1/2 of that price. most are less than 1k/year.
