[QUOTE=Number 3;7045707]The only thing that is really more on the Audi is the brake job and that is because Audi mandates rotor replacement rather than turning. Oil change with full synthetic at my dealer is $90 which is very competitive with local oil change shops. I paid $70 for the last Cruze oil change with the new partial synthetic GM mandates at Jiffy Lube. A 4 wheel alignment at my Audi dealer is $189. You pay $120 per hour at any GM dealer for service not on warranty.
So the service costs will be higher just like on a Cadillac because the parts are more expensive.
What you guys are really referring to is not maintenance costs but repair costs. Parts are more expensive on expensive cars and in some cases those parts come from Europe. But back in the day, the volumes weren't what they are today. So warehousing and shipping is not crazy.
You guys are all posting like you think 3 seconds after the warranty runs out (in 4 years) that OP will get a bill in the mail equal to what was paid for the car.
But how about we talk about a FWD MB. That to me seems a travesty in itself...............regardless of repair or maintanance costs.[/QUOTE
Well, Parts are more expensive even on some cars that's not more expensive than yours.
