165. Chevy Geo Spectrum
Model Years: 1989-1997
Avg. Repair Costs: $273*

A waning interest in small vehicles led to the Spectrum’s demise, but it was a fun little car while it lasted. According to Your Mechanic, the Geo Spectrum costs around $273 to maintain annually. Though that might sound cheap, once again, it depends on what you break.
166. Porsche 918 Spyder
Model Years: 2013-2015

The annual maintenance cost is $1,192 for this sleek sports car, and you should expect to have it serviced every 10,000 miles. Though this might sound steep, it’s a drop in the bucket for Porsche 918 Spyder owners, as the car alone costs $845,000 for the base price.

The annual cost to repair and maintain the Everest is estimated at $775, which is on par with Ford’s average (though higher than the average for all vehicles). The Everest is a tough SUV that debuted in 2022, and it pairs the appearance of a ranger with a cushy cabin.

Sorry, Americans—you’ll have to import the Everest if you want it here. This well-liked SUV has a base price of $52,990, and CarsGuide rated it an 8.5 out of 10. If you don’t want to import it, don’t worry, as, in 2024, America will be getting a new Ford Ranger pickup to ease the pain of not having an Everest.

But, that number could always be lower or higher; it depends on how the Q6 does when it hits North America. Generally, Audi maintenance costs are somewhat expensive, as they are luxury cars with a vaunted reputation.
