What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the 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. |
What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the the Mercedes-Benz M-Class
| Price of the Mercedes-Benz M-Class: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV turbocharged 215hp 3.0L V6 Diesel 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD | Bought used 4 years ago, very inexpensively with 23k miles on it. Put $1800 into repairs over 130k miles, mostly minor things like sensors, oil leaks, etc |
| Price of the Mercedes-Benz M-Class: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2009 | 4dr SUV turbocharged 210hp 3.0L V6 Diesel 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD | There is always a premium to drive a MB. |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV turbocharged 215hp 3.0L V6 Diesel 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD | Its a Mercedes-Benz so one has to pay for the brand name. Its an expensive vehicle, but not out of reach. |
| 2002 | 4dr SUV 288-horsepower 5.0L V8 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD w/low range | too expensive |

This is a beautiful car. Inside and out it is quality, comfort and stylish. I have put over 20000 miles on it this year and everything works perfectly. |
| 2004 | 4dr SUV 230-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed automatic FWD |
Quality of all the materials are good. Compare the lovely wood trim they provide standard with, say, Porsche and the over-a-grand price tag for every item with wood on it. No brainer. |
| 2002 | 4dr SUV 220-horsepower 3.0L V6 4-speed automatic AWD |
Very soft leather interior and wood trim on dash and steering wheel. Interior has a very upscale look and feel to it. |
| 2002 | 4dr SUV 220-horsepower 3.0L V6 4-speed automatic FWD |
Very refined and well made. |

this is my only real complaint. the workmanship is inferior compared to our 2001 RX 300. But then again the 2001 was built in Japan and the 2009 built in Canada. Quality of materials is also inferior to the 2001. |
