I was wondering a bit about this, myself. Also, the costs on some of the more extreme ends of the luxury markets are higher for pretty much everything. My parents own an Audi convertible sports toy. They had to have the clutch[0] replaced last year at a cost of almost $5,000. Oil changes run $100. Audi was high on the list, yes, but other luxury brands weren't that have similarly expensive repair/maintenance costs. [0] For Americans, where Manual Transmission is much like the Big Foot. You hear about it, but nobody's actually seen it, this is a part of a Manual Transmission car that wears out over time and is guaranteed to require repair.
