There are many ratings, compiled by professionals, showing the most profitable cars to maintain. The main criteria by which such ratings are compiled are power, gearbox, engine size, fuel consumption, and the number of additional options. The more options there are, the more expensive the service will be.
The car is no longer a luxury item, it has become a necessary means of transportation with comfort. Sooner or later, many people think about buying a car, it seems, "I'll buy a car and everything will become much easier." By no means, purchasing a car is far from the end of problems. After all, you need to take out insurance, secure transport from theft, regularly undergo maintenance, replace worn parts, waste fluids. All this is far from cheap, so before buying a car, you should ask how much the cost of its maintenance is.
Low-maintenance cars usually run on cheaper 92-grade gasoline.
Economical "Oka"
Undoubtedly, the first place in the list will be taken by VAZ-11116 or "Oka". For the first time "Oka" appeared on the market in 1987 and was intended for the people. The car is neat and simple, the internal content is modest and convenient for relatively little money. Then the car was characterized by a 650-cc two-cylinder engine, capable of developing power up to 30 horsepower. Over time, the internal filling of the car has changed, and the modern version boasts a three-cylinder engine with a capacity of 1 liter, developing power up to 53 horsepower. Average fuel consumption is 5.5 liters per 100 km. The car itself on the market costs about 180 thousand rubles, and its maintenance will cost "a penny", since it is small, simple, and there are practically no additional options.

The second place rightfully belongs to the product of the Uzbek automobile industry Daewoo Matiz. The car was first released in 1998, its design was developed in Italy, and it is assembled in Uzbekistan. The complete set can be from the poorest - basic to luxury. Unlike the previous economy model, this unit has an air conditioner, the gearbox can be either manual or automatic, and there are also front power windows and power steering.
