What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the Audi A6 / S6
| Price of the Audi A6 / S6: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2011 | 4dr Sedan supercharged 300hp 3.0L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Pricey, especially with options, but no more so than its direct competition. Still cheaper than an equivalent M-B or BMW. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.1L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Not a lot of 26 year olds in my town are driving the car i have so i get looks allll the time. but anyway, Depending how much money you have to put down and make, will determine if u have a 500 $ payment since i was 11k upside down on my trade in. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.1L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Price is high...but all cars in this class have a high price. You get what you pay for. :) |
| 2006 | 4dr Wagon 255-horsepower 3.1L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Over $10k more than V70 |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.1L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Full price - no discounts or concessions |
| 2004 | 4dr Sedan 265-horsepower 2.7L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
it is a pricey car in an absolute sense but a good value vs. bmw 540 |
| 2003 | 4dr Sedan 300-horsepower 4.2L V8 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
The car is was very expensive, and hence payments high. |
| 2002 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 250hp 2.7L V6 6-speed manual AWD |
It can be quite expensive, though a used A6 over 5 years old will drop in price dramatically and become an excellent deal. |
What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the Volvo S40
| Price of the Volvo S40: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 168-horsepower 2.4L I5 5-speed manual FWD |
We bought ours used with only 18k miles on it. It was about 50 percent off the MSRP of a new 2010. A friend was surprised that we paid about the same she did for her Hyundai. |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan 168-horsepower 2.4L I5 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Price was reasonable and there were good discounts. |
| Price of the Volvo S40: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2007 | 4dr Wagon turbocharged 218hp 2.5L I5 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Even with substantial discounts, the price is on the high side, and there is little support from Volvo for good finance deals or leases. |
| 2006 | 4dr Wagon turbocharged 218hp 2.5L I5 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Expensive vehicle...paying for the name. |
| 2005 | 4dr Wagon turbocharged 218hp 2.5L I5 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Volvos are pricey and they depreciate very fast. This is a good thing if you buy a three year old car, like I did. I feel like I got a good deal by buying used. I would never buy a new Volvo. Volvo pricing is a la cart, so every item costs extra. |
