40 Cars That Break Drivers’ Budgets Just to Maintain

30: Chrysler 200

The Chrysler 200 was one of the most costly investments that Chrysler Corporation ever made. Unfortunately, the car bombed big time, and the sales were far from the company’s expectations. One of the problems with this car was the perceived lack of quality and reliability (via Autolist).

The Chrysler 200 is known for its head gasket failures as well as transmission failures. The CVT transmission isn’t up to the task of motivating this car. You’ll spend a pretty penny trying to get this repaired and most 200 models are already out of warranty. That makes it far from a good car for drivers’ budgets.
