What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the Volvo C30
| Price of the Volvo C30: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2008 | 2dr Hatch turbocharged 227hp 2.5L I5 6-speed manual FWD |
Watch out for the options, but if you just want a fun and unique car to drive, a base model will cost you a little over 20K. |
| Price of the Volvo C30: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2009 | 2dr Hatch turbocharged 227hp 2.5L I5 6-speed manual FWD |
It is expensive compared to similar vehicles. |
| 2008 | 2dr Hatch turbocharged 227hp 2.5L I5 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
The price is a little on the high side for a car of this caliber. |
What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the BMW X5
| Price of the BMW X5: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2010 | 4dr SUV turbocharged 265hp 3.0L I6 Diesel 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
BMW cost higher than other brand in the same class, except Porsche and Land Rover. |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 260-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
It was very hard to find one close to or under invoice. But the vehicle does retain a lot of residual value. I had to do a lot of research to find one at a decent price...but I did! |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 260-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Overpriced relative to USA prices |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 315-horsepower 4.4L V8 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
I feel that the certified pre owned program from BMW adds much too high a cost to the vehicle. However, wife wanted from dealership, so we had to get from there. |
| 2004 | 4dr SUV 225-horsepower 3.0L I6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
These can be pricey. |
| 2002 | 4dr SUV 282-horsepower 4.4L V8 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
New price is enormous. 50,000+ I paid 15,000 |
