Price of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2010 4dr Sedan 268-horsepower 3.5L V6
7-speed shiftable automatic RWD
Able to get 2500 under invoice which I can never get for for BMW.
Price of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2009 4dr Sedan 268-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic AWD
sticker $56k plus options
2008 4dr Sedan 382-horsepower 5.5L V8
7-speed shiftable automatic RWD
More than most peoples house note, but, you get what you pay for and it is a Mercedes.
2007 4dr Sedan 507-horsepower 6.2L V8
7-speed shiftable automatic RWD
It is a $100,000 car. It is expensive, and it is expensive to maintain. This is easily a $150,000 investment over 3 years.
2007 4dr Sedan 268-horsepower 3.5L V6
7-speed shiftable automatic RWD
Much higher price than competators.
2005 4dr Sedan 302-horsepower 5.0L V8
5-speed shiftable automatic AWD
In light of the prices for all cars today, you get what you pay for and the Mercedes offers only the best. They are competitive. Only problem is high cost of repairs/maintenance. Labor costs.
2005 4dr Sedan turbocharged 201hp 3.2L I6 Diesel
5-speed shiftable automatic RWD
Mercedes is one of the highest priced cars around. I think you pay some for the name, but some for safety and reliability
2004 4dr Sedan 221-horsepower 3.2L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic RWD
They are expensive, but you get what you pay for.
2004 4dr Wagon 302-horsepower 5.0L V8
5-speed shiftable automatic AWD
Paid very little for it (high mileage) but cheap to keep it is not.
2003 4dr Sedan 302-horsepower 5.0L V8
5-speed shiftable automatic RWD
High initial purchase price, about 10-20% above similar Lexis/Infinit models

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.
