Premium SUV for 22K? Well, not with the prestige and performance of your X5. But sure, there are plenty of very good - and much cheaper to fix, more reliable, choices for 22K.
1. Used 07 Tahoe. Big, comfy, rock-solid reliability, 20mpg highway, retails for upper teens to low 20's. But they're about as common as gnats in the summer time.
2. Used 05-06 Acura MDX. Excellent reliability, 3rd row, about the same mileage as the X5, retails in low 20's.
I'm sure there are others, but those are two that just quickly came to mind. Both are excellent vehicles, but I'd have to say that neither has the sportiness or prestige of the X5.
Oops, forgot one: how 'bout an '02 or '03 Toyota Land Cruiser? Built like a tank, can go places a mountain goat can't go, very reliable and comfortable as well.
