What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the BMW Z4
| Price of the BMW Z4: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2007 | 2dr Hatch 330-horsepower 3.2L I6 6-speed manual RWD |
Due to poor sales the local dealers were offering cars a dealer invoice |
| 2003 | 2dr Convertible 225-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed manual RWD |
Its a great value used, not so much new. |
| Price of the BMW Z4: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2009 | 2dr Hardtop conv. 255-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
a bit expensive |
What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the Lexus RX
| Price of the Lexus RX: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2004 | 4dr SUV 230-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed automatic FWD |
Best value luxury brand SUV bar none. |
| Price of the Lexus RX: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2010 | 4dr SUV 245-horsepower 3.5L V6 Hybrid 6-speed shiftable CVT AWD |
The price is very high if compared to a Mazda CX-9, with similar features, similar performances and similar (i guess) reliability |
| 2009 | 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
more than $12000 more than the Murano with all the same bells and whistles |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD |
Overpriced |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD |
all of the above come with a price tag, which, over the long term, balance out with hopefully lower maintenance and operating costs |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 208-horsepower 3.3L V6 Hybrid CVT AWD |
This can be an expensive car. I would never buy one new and while I think there is value for money, I have issues with spending 55k on a car. I bought mine used on Ebay for a great price including shipping and have a friend who has done the same. |
