"Maintenance costs are very high compared to Japanese cars but should be similar to European luxury cars."
I (personally) do not agree with that statement. My 9-5 has been far less expensive to maintain than either my 1999 Mitsubishi Galant or my 1994 Acura Vigor. The Acura was something like $1,200 at the dealership for a major service. I laughed and sold the car. The Galant wasn't much better. It broke WAAAAY more than than my 9-5 ever has, and it had less mileage than I have on my Saab now!
So as it is usually assumed that Japanese cars are cheaper to maintain, it isn't law, or my experience.
Just my thoughts.
thanks,
buddy
