9. Mercedes-Benz G-Class (Geländewagen)

The Mercedes-Benz G-Class began life as a military vehicle, engineered for tank-like robustness.
Its legendary build quality and off-road prowess have driven high resale values and inspired a fiercely loyal fan base.
As Car and Driver notes, the G-Class’s longevity and complexity have made it both an icon and a source of headaches—especially when it comes to servicing and production costs.
This overbuilt legend remains a classic, albeit an expensive one.
