What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the Lexus ES

Price of the Lexus ES: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2008 4dr Sedan 272-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 The price of the car is about $5,000 too much in my opinion considering it lacks several features other much less expensive cars include standard that Lexus charges outrageous prices to add (such as satellite radio and remote start).
2008 4dr Sedan 272-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 For the price of the ES, which I paid under invoice, I could have nearly paid for two 4-cylinder Camrys.

What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the Toyota RAV4

Price of the Toyota RAV4: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2008 4dr SUV 269-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed automatic AWD		 good lease rates due to high resale value
Price of the Toyota RAV4: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2011 4dr SUV 179-horsepower 2.5L I4
4-speed automatic AWD		 Price was high, dealer did not offer much of a discount or was willing to work with me on my trade-in
2011 4dr SUV 269-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed automatic AWD		 A base RAV4 is quite inexpensive. Fully optioned, the price can balloon by a third.
2008 4dr SUV 269-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed automatic AWD		 V6 more. Not a fair comparison.
2008 4dr SUV 269-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed automatic AWD		 No incentives
2007 4dr SUV 269-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed automatic AWD		 A bit more than the crv, didnt want to wait 3 monthes for a custom built one from toyo corp since brother works there.
2007 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4
4-speed automatic AWD		 Too pricey compared to a Honda.
2007 4dr SUV 269-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed automatic FWD		 Almost $5000 more than a comparably equipped Santa Fe. Depreciation will be better, but I tend to keep cars long term so upfront pricing matters to me.
2006 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 Little more expensive than some competitors and no great financing rates either. I guess since the car is popular they know people will pay the extra.
2006 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 I have always thought that cars are way more expensive than they need to be. Toyota tends to be more expensive that most.
2006 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4
4-speed automatic AWD		 The RAV4 was a bit more expensive than comparable cars.
2006 4dr SUV 269-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed automatic AWD		 Significantly higher price than comparable vehicles.
2006 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4
4-speed automatic AWD		 The vehicle is somewhat expensive, but the value is high because it offers alot for that money.
