What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the Chrysler 300
| Price of the Chrysler 300: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 250-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed automatic RWD |
Heavy discount from near-$40K sticker price as one might expect from a year-old "new" car still in dealer inventory. This fact, coupled with numerous factory incentives and low APR financing cinched the deal. In short, I bought $40K car for $30K. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 250-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed automatic RWD |
With all the discounts available, the price was great. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 178-horsepower 2.7L V6 4-speed automatic RWD |
Low overall |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 340-horsepower 5.7L V8 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Truly one of the best cars for the price. I purchased it when Mercedes owned Chrysler, so I got Mercedes-quality parts within a gorgeous American-designed body. |

A lease was higher than it should have been. |

What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the BMW X3
| Price of the BMW X3: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2009 | 4dr SUV 260-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Very expensive for few features. It will quickly be overtaken by other entrants who have leather, auto tailgates, fold up mirrors, bluetooth, cameras, etc. for less money than the base X3. Lose the metal key please. |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 260-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Expensive for what you get, particularly when compared to other vehicles. |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 260-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed manual AWD |
I believe the pricing is about 10% too high, especially when one considers adding options... also the dealer seems to have less margin to deal then other competitors (Lexus,Acura...etc...) |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 225-horsepower 3.0L I6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
The base price is reasonable, but adding options quickly pushes the price north of $45K. Depreciation has been very high, mainly because of it being an SUV having to battle high gas prices. |
| 2005 | 4dr SUV 225-horsepower 3.0L I6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
The Ultimate Bank Account Drain |
| 2004 | 4dr SUV 225-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed manual AWD |
insanely expensive 20K more than Vue |
