What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the 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 the Lexus RX
| Price of the Lexus RX: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2004 | 4dr SUV 230-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed automatic FWD | Best value luxury brand SUV bar none. |
| Price of the Lexus RX: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2010 | 4dr SUV 245-horsepower 3.5L V6 Hybrid 6-speed shiftable CVT AWD | The price is very high if compared to a Mazda CX-9, with similar features, similar performances and similar (i guess) reliability |
| 2009 | 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD | more than $12000 more than the Murano with all the same bells and whistles |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD | Overpriced |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD | all of the above come with a price tag, which, over the long term, balance out with hopefully lower maintenance and operating costs |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 208-horsepower 3.3L V6 Hybrid CVT AWD | This can be an expensive car. I would never buy one new and while I think there is value for money, I have issues with spending 55k on a car. I bought mine used on Ebay for a great price including shipping and have a friend who has done the same. |

| 2002 | 4dr Wagon 340-horsepower 4.2L V8 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |

| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.1L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Actually I wouldnt know because i have not had to take it to a Audi Shop for anything serious. I do always have to reset my auto power windows and the service engine is on alot,the gas gage sometimes doesnt move, and seems like the fan in running all time |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.1L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Audi woud not try to repair until a system or part totally failed. I was eventualy informed that they wait to replace something that fails so they can send it back to the manufacturer for a credit. |

| 2008 | 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD |
high quality |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 208-horsepower 3.3L V6 Hybrid CVT AWD |
This is a beautiful car. Inside and out it is quality, comfort and stylish. I have put over 20000 miles on it this year and everything works perfectly. |
| 2004 | 4dr SUV 230-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed automatic FWD |
Quality of all the materials are good. Compare the lovely wood trim they provide standard with, say, Porsche and the over-a-grand price tag for every item with wood on it. No brainer. |
| 2002 | 4dr SUV 220-horsepower 3.0L V6 4-speed automatic AWD |
Very soft leather interior and wood trim on dash and steering wheel. Interior has a very upscale look and feel to it. |
| 2002 | 4dr SUV 220-horsepower 3.0L V6 4-speed automatic FWD |
Very refined and well made. |

| 2009 | 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD |
this is my only real complaint. the workmanship is inferior compared to our 2001 RX 300. But then again the 2001 was built in Japan and the 2009 built in Canada. Quality of materials is also inferior to the 2001. |
