What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the Chevrolet Corvette
| Price of the Chevrolet Corvette: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2007 | 2dr Hatch 400-horsepower 6.0L V8 6-speed manual RWD |
Hard to find a car near this performance level for the dollar. |
| Price of the Chevrolet Corvette: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2007 | 2dr Hatch 400-horsepower 6.0L V8 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Costs quite a bit of money |
| 2003 | 2dr Coupe 405-horsepower 5.7L V8 6-speed manual RWD |
Can get very expensive with too many options and dealers are reluctant to discount the price, but that is changing as cars with large V8 engines get harder to sell. |
What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the Porsche Boxster
| Price of the Porsche Boxster: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2002 | 2dr Convertible 217-horsepower 2.7L H6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
this one, 7 years old was affordable |
| Price of the Porsche Boxster: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2007 | 2dr Convertible 295-horsepower 3.4L H6 6-speed manual RWD |
Porsche charges an arm and a leg for every little option. |
| 2000 | 2dr Convertible 217-horsepower 2.7L H6 5-speed manual RWD |
I got this car for less than $10,000 from a dealer. No accidents. But because it is a Porsche, people assume I am rich and charge me much more for service. Including Detail Shops, which charge double to clean a Boxster than an equally sized Mazda Miata. |
