Used Audi Q5 Purchase--need your opinion please :)

The GLK M&R is still estimated,at about $18,000, evenly split between maintenance and repairs. The EX35 is also estimated at $8000.

On a side note, my cars have never cost as much to maintain as edmunds predict. Part of it is DIY, I guess the other part is not getting ripped by some repair shops. And maybe I just get rid of a car before too many things go wrong. I have not had any luxury brands though and am sure they do cost more to keep.

They price it by the maintenance schedule with the work done at the dealer. Everyone here does it for less, but it does offer a common platform to compare maintenance costs.
