What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the Mercedes-Benz C-Class
| Price of the Mercedes-Benz C-Class: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan supercharged 189hp 1.8L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
I bought this model used and for a buyer standpoint was quite surprised of the affordability for a class c. Which in fact confirms that depreciation for this model might be higher than expected. |
| 2004 | 4dr Wagon 168-horsepower 2.6L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
I bought this used and got a very reasonable price. |
| Price of the Mercedes-Benz C-Class: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 221hp 3.0L V6 Diesel 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Expensive compared to equivalent cars |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan supercharged 181hp 1.8L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
some basic options are overpriced - metallic paint for over $2000 |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 228-horsepower 3.0L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
They need to offer better deals to better compete. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
lower cost than bmw 3 series |
| 2005 | 2dr Hatch supercharged 189hp 1.8L I4 6-speed manual RWD |
Initial purchase cost was substantial for the size of the vehicle. It has retained its value well however. |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan 168-horsepower 2.6L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
One would always prefer lower prices, but its still a great buy for the price compartively. |
What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the Infiniti G
| Price of the Infiniti G: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 328-horsepower 3.7L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Bang for the buck over the Lexus. Payments comparable to IS250 due to their horrible "December to Remember" lease rates, but performance comparable to IS350. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 328-horsepower 3.7L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
3-series performance without the payment, better pricing on options |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 306-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
It is at or near the top of its class (luxury sport sedans) in terms of quality, but at or not the bottom of its class in price. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 306-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
nothing comes close for the money, loaded up you can get one for 34-35k. base model for 28k, still has pretty much all the options you need. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 306-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Good end of year discounts. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 306-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Biggest bang for the buck amongst all competitors |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 306-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
For what you get its very inexpensive. Comparable cars from other brands run a few thousand more |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 306-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Tehse cars are an exceptional bargain. There is no sport sedan that can beat G35 on the combination of driving dynamics an dprice and still be on a luxury side. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 306-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
This car had the best value to price ration between the cars I was looking for, not just performance-wise. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 306-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
excellent value |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 306-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Cheaper than Lexus and BMW |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 306-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed manual RWD |
Dollar for Dollar, nice value even at list. Dealers offered discounts even at redesign launch. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 306-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Felt I got a good price. More bang-for-the-buck than say a BMW. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 280-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Car is enough of a bargain vs comparable models to more than offset extra $$$ spent on gas. |
| 2006 | 2dr Coupe 280-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Price of car was great compared to similar alternatives. |
| 2005 | 2dr Coupe 298-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed manual RWD |
A lot of Bang for the Buck |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan 280-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
I happened to get a great deal on mine new |
| 2003 | 4dr Sedan 260-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Best combination of design, features and price point available at the time. |
| Price of the Infiniti G: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2011 | 4dr Sedan 328-horsepower 3.7L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
About $5K higher than a similar Subaru Legacy GT Ltd. That said, the intangibles and subtle plusses on the G probably represent value for the difference. |
| 2010 | 2dr Hardtop conv. 325-horsepower 3.7L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
No deals when I bought it, so the payment seems high. The cost of the car is not out of line. |
| 2010 | 4dr Sedan 328-horsepower 3.7L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
The base G37 is about $5K over the base Maxima. It handles better but looks androgynous. Numbers performance is a wash and I hated the transmission. That was a dealbreaker that overwhelmed the RWD advantages. |
| 2009 | 2dr Coupe 330-horsepower 3.7L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Like any other luxury car, the G is expensive. However, this is not a complete dislike since the G is one of the best bang-for-buck cars in the class. Still a $45k car fully loaded though. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 306-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Over $4K higher out-the-door than TL with the same equipment/features |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 306-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
would like to pay less |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 306-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Like any car of this class, it is more expensive than an Accord! |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 298-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed manual RWD |
Parts on this car are expensive and so is an oil change. Tires wear quickly, but thats expected out of any "sports" machine wearing a very soft tire compound. |
| 2005 | 2dr Coupe 298-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed manual RWD |
Fully loaded 6-speed manual car sells about 40k+ |
| 2005 | 2dr Coupe 298-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed manual RWD |
...the G35 coupe with the 6-speed would have been just under $40 grand including CA sales tax, license plates and dorkumentation fee. That is almost exactly $15,000 higher than the total price of the Honda Accord 6-speed coupe. $15k buys a lot of beer |
| 2004 | 2dr Coupe 280-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
For the price of this car, I should have FAR fewer issues. |
| 2003 | 2dr Coupe 280-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
The car is paid for but some might find it expensive. Tires cost $1000 a year if you keep good summer tires and a winter set. |
