39: Mercedes-Benz E-Class
No Mercedes-Benz will be cheap to own, that’s just a fact. But the E-Class is especially expensive to own. What makes the E-Class so expensive is the maintenance costs and replacement costs of parts. You won’t be able to fix this car for cheap, especially not a newer model E-Class (via Autolist).

The E-Class models from the early 2000s are expensive to maintain. They have still become popular in recent years despite that fact. As used car prices start to peak, the E-Class is a well-appointed and highly-regarded luxury car, but it will still break drivers’ budgets to keep on the road.
