What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the Chevrolet Volt
| Price of the Chevrolet Volt: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2013 | 4dr Hatch 149-horsepower Electric + Gas CVT FWD |
There are good deals out there for leases. My total monthly cost (including down payment taxes & fees) is $290/month |
| Price of the Chevrolet Volt: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2012 | 4dr Hatch 149-horsepower Electric + Gas CVT FWD |
I'm an early adopter of the technology and I realized the additional cost of that role when I bought the car. But it's still an expensive ride & many can't/won't pay this price. |
What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of 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. |
