It shouldn’t come as a surprise to learn that breaking into the high-end car world comes with a huge buy-in cost. For example, if you wanted to buy some sort of new family sedan, say a Honda Accord, you’ll have to cough up about $28,395 for a base-spec LX grade. Then, should any issues crop up with your Accord once the warranty is up, you’re typically looking at a repair bill that rarely exceeds a couple of grand, except in cases of engine or transmission overhauls or replacements.
