What are the most expensive cars to maintain?

I want to buy a vehicle that's reliable, but one that also doesn't cost all that much to maintain. With that said, what are the most expensive cars to maintain?

“Many luxury cars top the list of the most expensive cars to maintain, simply because they’re imports that require specialized engineering and mechanics with the know-how to fix them. However, many domestic brands and less flashy vehicles are also expensive to maintain.
Some of the most expensive cars to maintain include:
  • BMW 3-Series
  • Chevy Spark
  • Ram 1500
  • Jeep Renegade
  • Audi A4
  • MINI Cooper
If you are buying one of these second-hand, a
used car warranty
might be a good idea so you don’t have to pay out of pocket.
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.
