The popular myth that the maintenance cost of a high-end vehicle is high relative to the maintenance costs of a mid-range vehicle is completely inaccurate. Leaving aside of course the costs of taxes, insurance and parking space, cost of fuel per km, etc.
All these expenses constitute together with the preventive and corrective maintenance expenses, the annual TOC (Total Operation Cost) of the vehicle.
But speaking exclusively of the costs of preventive and corrective maintenance, they represent approximately 9-10% higher than the cost of maintaining a mid-range vehicle during the first 100,000 km. This increase is due to the greater use of electronic and high-tech components. of the highly specialized personnel required by these types of vehicles.
As always “cheap is expensive”. The very high quality of the components of high-end vehicles, together with their magnificent guarantee that manufacturers usually give, give them a longer useful life, thus saving money in the long run.
As always, maintenance in the official houses or in specialized workshops in this type of vehicle, such as the use of original spare parts and the use of special diagnostic machines for this range, guarantee a longer useful life and the quality that these vehicles require.
As you can see, the costs associated with the maintenance of high-end vehicles are not enough to put your hands on your head. At least not in the first few years, after the end of the warranty maintenance costs will be limited to the use or abuse given to the car.
Cheers!
Thanks.
