mercedes

I am considering purchasing either the RX or GX Suv and wanted to know what the costs of maintaining one would be. I have an Infiniti and am not pleased with the routine maintenance costs. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

An auto repair company (or most that i know or have worked at) are NOT going too think you can afford more because of your car type and charge you more. That is absolutely absurd. I will tell you though that not all dealerships like Lexus or Mercedes or BMW charge an CRAZY amount of money for there parts. Even to independant auto repair companies like mine. And it really comes down to you get what you pay for. If you want OE parts then you have to pay the price. You could always go after market but for more expensive cars like that aftermarket parts can cause you more problems

they are good cars and they will run a LONG time. But just remember if you car is more expensive that means your oil filters are more expensive and you will most likely use synthetic oil which is more expensive and most recommend premium gas which we all know gas is just going up and up.

so i would be 100% sure that in the case that something needs to be replaced like shocks or waterpumps or radiators and such that you will be able to afford high prices in those areas.

And if you decide to go used… ALWAYS have the car checked out before you purchase its very important to do that before you buy because it can save you alot of heartbreak in the end. Just cuz a car SEEMS to be running right doesnt mean it is and if you take the car to an auto repair shop or dealership you can trust they may be able to tell you in the future what repairs will need to be made because sometimes you can tell if in the near future something will need to be replaced.

I hope ive been helpful to you. Good luck
