Auto blog The Clunker Junker scanned over 100 car models and their associated maintenance costs to see which ones turned out durable and affordable. They calculated the 10-year maintenance cost of a car as a percentage of its original price to see which ones were the most maintenance-cost burdened after a decade in use. Here's what they found.
Key Takeaways
-
Among popular brands, Toyota vehicles have some of the lowest maintenance costs after a decade of use and are usually worth around 13.41 percent of the vehicle's original price.
-
Along with Toyota, models from GMC, Nissan, Ford and Chevrolet all incur maintenance costs under one-fifth of the vehicles original price.
-
Mitsubishi, Hyundai, BMW and Volvo are some of the most expensive cars to maintain and have the highest estimated costs after ten years on the road.
