Price of the Audi A4 / S4 / RS4: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2008 4dr Wagon turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Audi financial had geed financing interest rates, vs others manufacturers, Volvo and Subaru.
2008 4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.1L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 An A4 with a V6 and automatic transmission can get pricey but Audi throws in enough standard features to make it worthwhile.
2006 4dr Sedan turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Since a new model is being introduced, there were several lightly used models available and they were aggressively priced.
2005 4dr Sedan turbocharged 170hp 1.8L I4
5-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Good value
2004 4dr Sedan 340-horsepower 4.2L V8
6-speed manual AWD		 I got a rediculous deal. Once in a lifetime really.
2002 4dr Sedan 220-horsepower 3.0L V6
6-speed shiftable CVT FWD		 The CPO price was good when we purchased
Price of the Audi A4 / S4 / RS4: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2010 4dr Sedan supercharged 333hp 3.0L V6
7-speed automated manual AWD		 Relatively pricey, however compares well with competition (BMW 335).
2009 4dr Sedan turbocharged 211hp 2.0L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 It is a pricey car for the fairly average performance.
2008 4dr Wagon turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Expensive to buy and run
2008 4dr Sedan 340-horsepower 4.2L V8
6-speed manual AWD		 You pay a premium on the S4 over the A4. Just up to you to figure out if the performance is worth the price. You are right up there with a nicely configured BMW 335.
2008 4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.1L V6
6-speed manual AWD		 The A4 is not cheap, however it is worth the money.
2007 4dr Sedan turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
7-speed shiftable CVT FWD		 For the same as a base A4 2.0t I got a LOADED Passat. No incentives offered on a lease. VW wanted zero down, Audi wanted $3,000.00 down. Same terms, same monthly payment.
2007 4dr Sedan turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 $40,000 price tag (fully loaded w/ nav)
2007 4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.1L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 exspensive car
2006 4dr Sedan turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Expensive to repair and buy
2006 4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.1L V6
6-speed manual AWD		 You pay for performance and workmanship
2006 4dr Wagon turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed manual AWD		 Even buying second hand, I paid a bit too much. A manual 6-spd wagon with sports package is not your typical configuration. Compare to other alternatives, Audi does run a bit more expensive.
2006 4dr Sedan turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed manual AWD		 Can get pricey
2006 4dr Wagon turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed manual AWD		 What was on the sticker is what you paid. No negotiation, No discounts!!
2005 4dr Sedan 340-horsepower 4.2L V8
6-speed manual AWD		 It is a very expensive car, though in the right area for that level of combined luxury and performance. Other, perfectly adequate vehicles are available for much less.
2002 4dr Wagon turbocharged 170hp 1.8L I4
5-speed manual FWD		 Way too expensive for what it was.
2002 4dr Sedan 220-horsepower 3.0L V6
6-speed manual AWD		 costly relative to Acura

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.
