GTR definately worth it. these type of cars.. yes you pay for them..

but "$1,577 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class Large passenger car" - isn't it a coupe/roadster type of car?

Good catch on the SL.

I thought the R8 was interesting since it has the highest sticker of any of the cars on the list, and yet it is down in 15th place.

vlad_b

yes r8 is a "good deal" comparing to others. if i were in the market i would buy one. stylish car too.

the one with v10 in it is a monster.. but i think you'll pay more to ensure the v10 one

I'm paying about the price of the GT-R for a 525.

Thanks. Now I know what the X6 might cost me.

Thinking about swapping out the 530 for the X6?

We would sure miss seeing your car. It really is a one of a kind.

Man...this is something I typically take for granted when buying a new car. If your considering an M-anything, look out for those hidden costs! Wow.

Holy cow! Then again add $1k to the GTR's premium and that's the premium I'm paying to have all our cars insured :thumbsdown: lol

If your a good driver, you can afford the car your driving, eg. gtr, insurance rates shouldn't be too discouraging... no?
