Assuming cars of these brands driven the same way, same environment lets say metro manila...sino sa mga may ari nito ang pinaka konti ang sakit ng ulo at nagastos sa pag maintain, after 5 years...

Curious rin ako. Ano sa kanila ang mas tipid sa maintenance

[SiRbossR]

I think the Lexus will be better. the maintenance cost or the PMS for it is just not what you call cheap. maybe less expensive than the other three..

May nagkuwento kasi sakin, this rich guy who owns an accounting firm sumakit daw ulo sa german brand, nag japanese...problem solved. So is it true? After all these **** we hear abt german precision...in the end still the japanese brand comes on top..

Narinig ko nga din yan.... Actually kung iisipin mo, mas matipid ang PMS ng lexus kaysa sa Hyundai (if you will follow the 3 months PMS they are requiring).. Last PMS for our lexus was 14K .. once a year mo lang ibabalik.. Kung sa Hyundai every 3 months, gawin mo ng 5K per PMS.. 5K x 4.. 20K na ... hmmm.. parang mali.. hehehehehe

the european brands requires you to change oil a lot less often compared to other brands. yon nga lang sobra mahal kahit change oil lang. from my experience if maintained properly it will require less maintenance and parts to replace compared to the japanese brands, but everything is much much more expensive, that's to be expected though if you're buying a euro car. i'm speaking about high end level euro cars ha, not so sure about entry level bimmers, mercs and audis. most of the problems i heard are from entry level euro cars.

meron ako kilala feeling big time pinilit bumili ng 3 series sakit daw sa ulo mag karon, pero ang totoo sakit sa bulsa niya since di naman niya kaya ma-afford mag karon ng bmw.

Aok so yung sakit sa ulo mga entry level models ng mga aleman...yung mga high end, mas matibay na at hindi sirain?

Kaya lang gusto malaman is that as Ive mentioned, some dude na fabrcator ng auto parts naka kuwntuhan ko..he told a story re this founder of an acctg firm, alam niyo na yan kung sino and his financial capability, galing sa euro cars, puro sakit daw sa ulo dahil lagi nalang may nasisira o sirain, till naubusan ng pasensiya nag lexus, ayun he's satisfied...

Tingin ko naman hindi pipitsugin si founder ng acctg firm guy para maapektuhan ang kanyang bulsa at mag shift sa kabilang bakod.

ya there's sakit sa ulo and there's sakit sa bulsa

kung lagi tumitirik sakit sa ulo yan

kung hindi naman tumitirik at namamahalan ka lang sa piesa sakit sa bulsa yan

Let's just say this... If you own an S-Class/7-series, then your budget is big enough that 100k pesos in repairs is an annoyance rather than bank breaking.

Even minor xontrol modules (like for power seats or power windows... And there are a lot of them) cost over a hundred thousand to replace. Then there are active suspensions, also hundred k plus if you break them... and active suspension will break if you use the car as often as you use a regular car... Then ABS modules, O2 sensors... Etcetera...

Most owners of the big ones don't complain because they don't use them a lot. I know a few that are daily driven and they're nightmares.

If you use one as an occassional car, then it's fine. Aside from losing nearly a million bucks a year in depreciation, no problem.

Lexus is another matter. Some of their cars are basically Toyotas underneath, so maintenance is not bad, Don't know anyone with a GS or LS, so I can't comment on the Lexii which are not basically upscale Camries or Land Cruisers.
