If you’re a fan of vans, the Dodge Grand Caravan is likely on the list of vehicles you’d like to have, or at least admire. It’s one of the company’s best selling vehicles and is a highly competitive van on the market. However, like many vans, it hides a steep cost of over $1,200 per year in maintenance and fuel costs.
The Caravan is known for eating away at your gas tank, which means that you can expect to find yourself at a gas station more often than you’d probably like to. It’s a highly reliable, safe and spacious van, but some owners complain about several minor electrical problems with the windows and switches. Still, it’s a competitive van, and that’s highly respectable.
Chrysler Sebring
Chrysler has always been known as the classic American company that makes highly sophisticated vehicles for relatively affordable prices. One of its most beloved lineups, the Sebring model, was produced from 1995 up until 2010.
The trendy two-door sports coupe is the perfect getaway car for you and your loved one. If you're looking to do a romantic road trip, this intimate little dynamite car is perfect.
Audi A4
Audi first launched its popular A4 model back in 1994. This was the company’s first executive compact vehicle and became an instant hit among consumers. Its in-demand status is not surprising.
Hopefully, you’re already aware that Audi, like many other luxury brands, charges much higher prices when it comes to servicing. Fortunately, its fuel economy is one of the best in the world, as the A4 gets over 40 miles per gallon. Wow!
T-Roc Convertible
Volkswagen’s $20,000 T-Roc Convertible is basically a half-priced Range Rover Evoque convertible for people who are not looking to spend an exuberant amount of money on a competent SUV. The T-Roc convertible first appeared last year at the Frankfurt auto show in Germany and surprised audiences with its soft-top which takes only nine seconds to go from closed to open.
Bear in mind, tf you’re the type of driver that likes to have the roof go down while you’re road tripping, you’ll be happy to hear you can take off the top as long as you’re driving below 20 miles per hour. So you might opt for that on more scenic roads when trying to drink in your surroundings.
Lincoln MKS
Lincoln has never been known for making cheap cars. Their vehicles might have a wide range of prices, but everyone knows that Lincolns cost money. Their MKS model was no different. It was a full-size luxury sedan that was sold by the automaker from 2007 and was recently discontinued in 2016.
Reports have come out that it costs more than $1,500 to maintain the Lincoln MKS annually. This adds up to almost $20,000 in a decade, a figure that doesn’t include gas and all the potential problems that might occur over that span of years. The car was also known for having issues with its breaks. These would cost between $250 to $750 to fix, which would get pretty pricey since there was no way around it.
