Price of the Chevrolet Equinox: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2011 4dr SUV 182-horsepower 2.4L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD
Except for GM supplier pricing, no budging on price. Much more expensive compared to Escape
2011 4dr SUV 182-horsepower 2.4L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
Price with our desired features was higher than same features in Terrain.
2011 4dr SUV 182-horsepower 2.4L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD
No discounts available, since the car is very popular.

What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the Toyota Highlander

Price of the Toyota Highlander: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2009 4dr SUV 187-horsepower 2.7L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
We were able to get a new Highlander for much less money than a Honda Pilot and still get all the features we desired (larger than a Rav4/CRV, >20 MPG city, leather, and full compliment of air bags/antilock/traction control)
2007 4dr SUV 155-horsepower 2.4L I4
4-speed automatic FWD
I got it for a good price making it an easy decsision to purchase
Price of the Toyota Highlander: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2011 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD
Felt some options missing for $38K vehicle such as memory settings, more detailed tire monitoring
2009 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD
VW was offering a sizeable discount on the Routan, a similar Highlander was from 8 to 10K more
2009 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic AWD
you pay for the reputation.
2008 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD
More expensive then Pathfinder for same year and higher milage vehicles.
2008 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD
Because you had to purchase features you did not want, the vehicle was much more pricey than others with the same features. They charged a premium for basic features included with other makes of cars.
2008 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic AWD
Over priced because was new model at time I was looking. Configured with unwanted trim and features vs competition.
2006 4dr SUV 208-horsepower 3.3L V6 Hybrid
CVT AWD
I paid full MSRP.
