Are European Cars Truly Expensive To Maintain? by Yongi99(m): 10:25pm On Jul 14, 2015
In my opinion i believe some of the best cars in the world are produced in Europe, specifically Germany. And it's going to cut your bank account significantly if you are getting one. But afterwards the cost of maintainance is also high.

I so much admire Germany cars, but the cost of maintaining it is pricking me.

Share your experience with us. How is the cost of maintainance of a Germany car compared to Japanese or American cars.

Parts are hard to get, plus we have very few mechanics that deals on European cars.
On the other hand, European cars last longer been that they are Stronger in terms of built and standards.

Peugeot cars are one of the best European cars you can ever have. They are not just friendly, reliable, durable and fun to drive, but posses a particular attitude that leaves one behind their wheels smiling. And most importantly, they eat miles. All you need is face their noses anywhere and they bring you back, wishing for more adventures to take.

But to enjoy the good life they give out to the owners, you must love them. When you love something, you respect it. When you respect something, you care for it and protect it. When you care for something and protect it, you will not abuse it. That's all you need to pull a Lion, never look back and forever be grateful.

Oga the bolded words are Misguiding, so you rate Peugeot above Porsche, M Benz and Volvo?

@ OP, If you live in Nigeria i would advise you to buy a Nissan. Reasons are,
1. The most important, YOUR CAR IS NOT TOP OF THE ROBBERY LIST (Like Honda and Toyota).
2. Its as reliable as "them Toyota"(The reliability dropped in the early 2000's when the stupid French company called Renault had an alliance with Nissan).
3. Buy any Nissan from 2005/2006 and above you would be happy with it.(Avoid them 1998 to 2004. Like i said above, these french people can't make shitt work).
4. They are cheaper than Honda and Toyota in Nigeria due to low demand.
5. Every Kaseem can fix them.
6. Parts are available.
7. Parts are as cheap as other Japs.
And 2nd Most important, ICEMANN advised you. cool cheesy (Na Joke)

He said Peugeot cars are one of the best European cars and NOT the best European car. He was never comparing with other European brands.
