1st timer- need advice on buying CPO X5!!

[sammy1127]

I've left deposits on 2 X5's- one a 2003 with 36K for 31,500. The other a 2005 with 18K for 40,000. Both have same options, NAV, premium package, etc., and ar the color I want, Black with Beige interior.
I 'm leaning toward the 2003, but wonder if it might be worth it to pay a little more in case I want to trade up in 4 years for the new version. I have a large dog and a baseball player in the family and am a little worried about cargo space. I currently drive a VOlvo XC wagon, which has plenty of trunk space, but I'm done with Volvo's. Should I just go with the "03, and if I want another car in 4 years, get a '07 off lease?!
HELP.....need to decide tomorrow!!

Both are very good prices, the 05 will have more factory warranty and has 1/2 the mileage, and is only $8500 more, I personally would go with that, as it would have much more resale value in 3 years.

As far as cargo area, there is less than the XC, but you can't compare the ride... Good luck in your decision!

Thanks.......I pulled the trigger on the '05 this morning.....think it's a better deal too!! But I'm really glad you confirmed I made the right decision.....I haven't bought a car since I Graduated college.............!!!!

I agree, and it's also the facelifted model!
