Keep or Trade: 2011 X5 3.5d

[Crash513]

Hi all. Sorry for not replying to thank you all for your thoughful reply. Last night I got the best offer I've seen yet on a 2016 4.0e from a dealer on the SF Bay Area. Way better than my local dealers have come across with, but even on a 3 year lease with 10k miles/yr and $7.5k down, my payment would still be slightly higher than I would have to buy the car out on a 4 year loan. Based on this, and the consensus feedback from all it you, I think we'll keep her. I figured that kind of cash would go a long way toward any repairs, at least for the first year or two.

Thanks again for your insights, everyone. This helped me a lot.
