What car has the least insurance costs and maintenance costs?

Answer 1

fiat 500 and similar. There's an eastern made car that's even smaller (car size wise) but it still sits 4 and it comes with an LGP system from the factory here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daewoo_Matiz. In Europe it means it'll cost less than half to run.
Not sure if you are in the USA and if USA people are clued up to LPG systems and if it is worth it to you , still, the car will also run on normal gas so it'll be just like any car without LPG.
cubcowboysgirl, sorry but your dad doesn't have a clue how to research. BMW isn't in the market of the "cheap to run" cars.

edit: if you are in the USA see this http://www.chevrolet.co.uk/matiz/matiz-index.html it's a chevrolet so made over there and will be cheap for spare parts

Answer 2

Maintenance doesn't really vary that much amongst cars of the same price range. Standard maintenance these days mostly just involves changing fluids and filters every so often, which for the most part is not difficult and can be done yourself on most cars.

If you're worried about repair and replacement part costs, you should go domestic. GM vehicles in particular are known for having cheap, plentiful replacement parts available. Japanese generally cost a bit more to fix than domestics, and European cars are notorious for expensive and hard to obtain replacement parts.

The cheapest car to insure is harder to say, but from my own experience the more boring the car (and hence its drivers), the cheaper the insurance. So cars like the Chevy Impala, or Ford Five Hundred, or any Buick, are generally cheaper to insure than cars driven by younger folk.

Answer 3

No one can really answer this question accurately. The cheapest car to insure depends on how much coverage you elect to have, how clean your driving record is, how high of a deductible you can live with, how cheap the car will be to repair and how likely you will be able to survive in an accident. Considering all that, buy an older Volvo.

Answer 4

right now the Nissan sentra is the cheapest to insure and keep up,maintenance cost on those is very little,they are a very reliable vehicle,and cheap to insure and keep up,that would be my first choice if i was looking for a good car, anyway,good luck on it.

Answer 5

Well, it depends if you're insuring the car with just liability or if you're adding collision and comprehensive. Where you live matters, too. Most Japanese cars are easy and cheap to maintain if you keep up with the basics. Hondas and Toyotas are great and run for 200,000+ miles with little worries.
