Most Expensive Cars To Repair!
Wednesday, May 7th, 2008
What are the most expensive cars to repair? In case you’re buying and selling expensive high-end cars for profit (or are planning on owning a high-end car) here’s a heads-up on what the most expensive cars to repair are.
And just so you know, the following repair costs are based on the first five years of ownership.
The top five most expensive cars to repair are…
1) Dodge Viper at $1641.00.
2) Audi A8 & Mercedes-Benz G Class are both tied at $1640.00.
3) Jaguar XK at $1629.00.
4) Land Rover Range Rover at $1600.00.
5) Mercedes-Benz CL Class at $1540.00.
The most expensive non-luxury cars to repair are…
1) Hummer H2 at 1484.00.
2) Hummer H3 at 1244.00.
3) Ford Mustang at $1201.00.
4) Mini Cooper Convertible at $1093.00.
5) Subaru Impreza at $1006.00.
6) GMC Yukon & Chrysler Pacifica at $970.00 each.
The most expensive trucks to repair are…
1) Ford F450 at $1295.00.
2) Dodge Ram 3500 at $1282.00.
3) Chevy Silverado 3500 at $1094.00.
Actually, thats not too bad for a period of five years, but dang, thats for a NEW car! So what happens when that factory warranty ends and you start wracking up some serious miles? Those are the figures I’d reeeeally like to see!
Luxury cars and high performance cars cost more to repair because labor and parts cost more. Why do they cost more?
Cuz they can get it!
For example: a “normal” car might cost only $70.00 per hour (gag!) to repair but the labor per hour for a high-end car might be $100.00.
That is a very incomplete list because who knows how much exotics like Lamborghini’s and Ferrari’s would cost to repair? YIKES!
For the sake of peons (like me) that are buying and selling cars for profit, just know that the more complicated a car is then the higher the repair costs will be.
i.e. Complicated car = Major ream job!
So be aware of what the most expensive cars to repair are the next time you’re salivating over that Mercedes or whatevah.
A Tip…
Find a GREAT backyard mechanic that really knows his stuff and LOVES to work on cars and will do your repair work for a lot less than anyone else will…and always be nice to that person. 
Until next time…
