What are the cheapest cars to maintain?
I want to purchase a car that costs little money to maintain. What are some of the cheapest cars to maintain over the life of the vehicle?
Eric Schad · Updated on

“In general,
electric cars
have fewer maintenance costs because they have fewer moving parts than a gasoline, diesel, or hybrid vehicle. If you’re talking about individual models, these cars have been highly regarded for their affordability in terms of maintenance:
- Toyota Prius
- Honda Accord
- Kia Soul
- Ford Mustang
- Chevy Silverado
- Nissan Versa
Keep in mind that the costs of maintenance will also vary depending on what type of driver you are, where you drive, and how many miles you put on the vehicle.
Another thing to keep in mind to protect your vehicle is your car insurance. While insurance might not be considered maintenance, it does help payout in the event of an accident, saving you money when you need to repair your car. If you want help shopping for the best coverage at the lowest price, try using the
