Toyota is not on the list because they rarely ever need repairing.

^^^true dat. i work at Lexus and i gotta tell u... they make one of the best cars on the market.

[leobond001]

that would explain why they're the leadeing car seeler in the world

[ShooterMcGavin]

not surprised at all that jag and land rover dominate half the top 10 list....as for the suzuki being #1 least expensive, isn't it cuz it usually just doesn't run? :P

[EJ25RUN]

so that comes out too.

Most expensive

American - 1
Great Britain - 5
Germany - 4

Least Expensive

Korea - 3
Japan - 7

Strange for both as some of those share platforms with other cars and those didn't make it on the list.

Least expensive for me? My '89 Honda Accord DX, 5-speed, cold A/C, full stereo, and my uncle was the original owner. $200.00..... and with 268k miles on the clock, it runs great.

My brother has always been my primary mechanic, so work/maitenance usually doesn't cost any more than lunch or dinner at Subway or Ru-Sans. lol

My most expensive car thus far was my '93 RX-7 back in late 2005, early 2006...I was like 20 years old with a $12k loan out on a ~12 year old car....working "full-time" at Best Buy off Barret Parkway.

I blew the motor in less than 6 months, my own fault...but yeah. I JUST recently paid off the balance I had on one of the TWO loans that I had out on the car, after the $3,000 loss that I took from selling it as a "blown motor FD".
