Since 1 Source went out of business I am now out of $3000.00, and have a big monthly payment on a vehicle with no warranty. My solution was to bite the bullet, and get a newer CPO X-5 or even a new one. The problem is I am getting killied on the value of this X-5. I am getting numbers from 12,000.00 to 15,000 for trade in value. Obviously I owe more than that on the vehicle. Is anyone else dealing with this? I am hearing that gas prices have hurt value, but if that is the case I can't see spending 50K on a new one if the value is just going to spiral down hill. My X-5 is well equipped (no navigation system) and is in mint condition. What do you folks think I should do?
I think you should just keep the existing X5 for another year or so. The new X5 is just coming out and the stock is low so the dealer and BMW has now reason to cut low price deals. With regard to the existing X5 gas prices are dropping and demand for SUV's will probably come back soon.
