Interesting, that they said they'd purchase it back after the next major repair.

I'm going to pursue a few legal options before I give up on the vehicle. As I mentioned in one other thread, that deals with this issue, I don't mind if I have to give up the X5.

But, I'm not going to lose a single penny in doing so, due to depreciation, etc.

Litigation would be a pain (but not to the point that I will avoid that route), but so too would losing $20 to $30k when I sell the SUV at a loss.

I have a feeling it won't go that far, but then again, I can't keep a $70k vehicle that only partially functions without a full resolution.
