But in the OPs scenario, the dealer is selling the car is if there is NO "first year depreciation"!!
Buying used makes sense to avoid the steep depreciation hit...but it is a false economy with a hot car that is selling well. There are so few 2009, 2010, 2011 X5ds in the used market, that there is almost no benefit in buying used.
IMO
