What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the Porsche Boxster

Price of the Porsche Boxster: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
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
YearBody/PowertrainComment
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.

What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the Audi A5 / S5

Price of the Audi A5 / S5: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2010 2dr Coupe turbocharged 211hp 2.0L I4
6-speed manual AWD		 More expensive than competitors
2009 2dr Coupe turbocharged 170hp 2.0L I4 Diesel
6-speed manual AWD		 Price is too high. The quality of the car when taken to the test, does not justify the price.
2008 2dr Coupe 354-horsepower 4.2L V8
6-speed manual AWD		 Expensive base price as compared to a 335i (but still less than a 650i). Horrible leasing factors leave buying as the only real option.
2008 2dr Coupe 265-horsepower 3.2L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Too much money for some.
2008 2dr Coupe 265-horsepower 3.2L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 A little too high, but worth it
