Now if you buy it out right. Let's say 60k for your cost. At the end of 3 years, how much will you get if you decide to sell it? I would think you can at least sell it for 30k PLUS or even 40k for a 3 year old sav.
The thing is BMW hold better value than most others. Now, if it's a ML, I would lease cause if drop it's value so fast.

Amen to ALL of that! Im not sure how leases work, but if you sell within 2 years, and you know how to advertise, The loot goes right back in your pocket..Ive never sold a BMW (2 E46's and now the X), within 2 years and not made a PROFIT on my cars..Not broke even, PROFIT. Take care of them, keep 'em clean and you make out. No probs. People dont like dealing with dealers...
As mentioned in my other posts, Ive had my X for a year, bought for 37,450. I put it on the market yesterday for 42,500 and have had 2 offers for 42 even. I told them both to go to hell. Ive got time, and the Zaino keeps 'em comin.

Now Ill buy my E90 next month for 31,000 and sell it next spring for 34 even. Just make sure you think about it before you jump in...
X5 = second highest resale PERIOD behind the Sequoia baby!!
