What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the Chevrolet Corvette
| Price of the Chevrolet Corvette: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2007 | 2dr Hatch 400-horsepower 6.0L V8 6-speed manual RWD |
Hard to find a car near this performance level for the dollar. |
| Price of the Chevrolet Corvette: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2007 | 2dr Hatch 400-horsepower 6.0L V8 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Costs quite a bit of money |
| 2003 | 2dr Coupe 405-horsepower 5.7L V8 6-speed manual RWD |
Can get very expensive with too many options and dealers are reluctant to discount the price, but that is changing as cars with large V8 engines get harder to sell. |
What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the Mercedes-Benz GL-Class
| Price of the Mercedes-Benz GL-Class: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2010 | 4dr SUV turbocharged 210hp 3.0L V6 Diesel 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
For $80,000 I expect more from a vehicle. |
| 2010 | 4dr SUV 335-horsepower 4.7L V8 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
$1100 per month. Lots of other cars that are almost as nice and much cheaper. |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 335-horsepower 4.7L V8 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
With options, it can get pricey. |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV turbocharged 215hp 3.0L V6 Diesel 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
The price on this car is a tough pill to swallow for working class people. If it were not for a great trade-in, I probably could not justify the price. |
