Any mechanics or car experts, please - which makes of car are cheap for replacement parts?

I'm thinking of changing my car, but I'm trying to find out what would be economical in terms of replacement parts. (It's easy to check insurance groups and fuel economy, but I can't find this information about car parts anywhere.) I've had French cars in the past, and they seem to be expensive to maintain, as do the majority of German ones. Are Ford and Vauxhall my only real options?





Thanks in advance.|||Foprd is generally cheaper than Vx for parts and cheaper than French or German|||I think try to really research on the appropriate part that you need to have. Try searching other options or sites, such as the sites like http://car-stuff.com and other shops in the internet, as well as other good shops and stores around your area. I'm sure that you can get the part that you want.|||It also depends where your getting the parts from. If from a main stealer you will be paying a premium price if from a motor factors you can save hundreds.|||Go the other way and buy Japanese, with them it rare that you need to replace parts.|||vauxhall and ford are usually the best cars to get cheap parts for





unless you get an older style mini and there cheaper than ford or vauxhall|||It all depends on whom you know in the auto parts business.|||probably ford is your cheapest option,
