Since I will be returning my x5 in about two month which I thought it was a great deal, I am also searching for good used car deal vs. leasing a new car.

I am not seeing good leased deal any more like they used to have three years ago. Allowed milage is way too little as 12K at most, volatile resale and financial market must be the reasons, and money factor or residual values has gotten worse. And yet lease will be a perfect business write off.

I figure buying used luxury vehicle might be a smart choice. I was looking either MB S Series, or Audi 8 Series. Preferably low milage and minimal future maintenance issues. I am probably asking too much...

Any finds or thoughts will be appreciated. Thanks in advance, ladies and gents,
