Cheapest Cars to Maintain

When it comes to buying a car, you cannot simply think of the price of the car. When you get a car, you are entering into a long relationship with that vehicle. That means that you are going to have to pay for it for years to come. You want to get a car that is cheap to maintain so you do not end up spending more than you bargained for in the long run.

Recently, Edmunds released a study where they compared different vehicles. They looked at the warranty that comes with the vehicle and then factored in other things, such as the probability of something happening to the car. They were able to do that by looking at the reliability of the vehicle. They then compiled a list of the cheapest cards to maintain.

The Toyota Camry Solara is one of the best cars to own in regards to maintenance costs. Edmunds rated it as top in its class of mid coupe vehicles. It is expected that someone will only pay $701 over five years in repair costs. This vehicle is not expected to have any major problems with it, which means you can buy it with confidence.

The Hyundai XG350 also did well in the Edmunds report. At a mere $632 for five years of repair costs, this car is a good buy for people. It is very affordable, and Hyundai’s are quickly on the rise. Hyundai is quickly emerging as a quality manufacturer.

If you are in the market for an SUV, you can get the Kia Sorento. With repair costs at $632 for five years, this vehicle will hardly break your bank account. Also, like Hyundai, Kia is a very affordable brand that is quickly becoming more respected. With the price and reliability of the vehicle, it is easy to see why it is now considered a great deal.

If you need something more family friendly, you could get a Saturn L300. This is a mid priced wagon with estimated repair costs of $702 for five years. That is a great price, and you will be able to fit your entire family into the vehicle.

While these statistics are very impressive, they only tell half of the story. These statistics are better analyzed when compared to the highest repair costs. Repair costs for several vehicles are anticipated at over $2000 for a five year period. That is a huge difference. If you got one of those vehicles, you could end up in debt just because of the high repair costs. You do not want that with a vehicle.

Be mindful of the costs of your repairs so you are able to get a vehicle that works for you. You want a vehicle that is affordable through the duration of ownership. If you get a great deal on a car when you purchase it, but then you end up spending thousands on repairs, you will end up losing out. You want a car that is not going to continue to cost you after the purchase.
