About to dive in ... or drive in
I was planning on buying a car by the end of the year but an opportunity presented itself that is making me think twice. There is a 2007 4.8i X5 car for sale. The car is brand new (zero miles). The question is, is it wise to buy a 2007 model? I know the design didn't change and basically it is the same car as the 2009 but not sure whether it is a clever move. They are charging around 25% less then the brand new 2009 model with the same exact features. Tell me what you think. I need to decide within the next 24 hours. Talk about a once in a life time opportunity Model X5 4.8I Color A52 Space Grey Metallic LVB4 Leather Nevada, perforated, Beige 205 Automatic transmission 212 Brake system, country-specific equipment 217 Active Steering 220 Self-leveling suspension 2RY Light-alloy wheels star spoke 212 2VA Adaptive driving 321 Exterior parts in body color 322 Comfort access 354 Green stripe windscreen 358 Climate comfort windscreen 386 Roof rails 3AG Backup camera 402 Panorama glass roof 423 Floor mats, velours 428 Warning triangle 430 Interior and exterior mirrors with automatic anti-dazzle function 431 Interior mirrors with automatic anti-dazzle function 441 Smoker's package 453 Active seat ventilation, front 456 Comfort seats front, electronically adjustable 488 lumber support 493 Storage compartment package 494 Seat heating for driver and front passenger 4AB Fine-wood trim Burr Walnut 508 Park Distance Control 521 Rain sensor 522 Xenon light 524 Adaptive cornering lights 534 Automatic air conditioning 544 Dynamic cruise control 548 speedometer with kilometer reading 563 light package 5AC High-beam assistant 601 TV function 609 Navigation system professional 620 Voice control 644 Universal provision for mobile phone installation 672 CD Changer for 6 CD's 676 HiFi loudspeaker system The remaining options are standard for this region they include the DVD for the region etc... I need advice ... can't wait too long .. Any help will be appreciated |

Sounds like a good deal, but where has it been for the last year?

It looks fully loaded and I would guess the sticker would be $68-$72k range. It looks like an amazing deal if you are planning to hold it for a long-term. But, if you are not, resale value will take a hit vs. a 2009 just because of older model year. Something to consider.

It'll definitely be long term. I wasn't planning on spending so much on my next car but i just think this is a sweet bargain ..
P.S right on with the value |

great deal...I love my 07 X5. The differenecs in 07 to 09 are not huge, other than the just announced redesign of the idrive and Google map functions, also the earlier 07's didnt have 6FL Ipod option, and now come w/ DVD changer up front. so if those are important and cost isnt an issue go w/ 09, otherwise this is a great deal.

25% discount will more than cover the depreciation from the 2009. Great deal I would go for it!

I'm not a mechanic or an expert but is there harm if the car is sitting there for over a year? Will it have any effect on the electrical, tires, oil, engine, etc?
A test drive is recommended. |

Good question...no expert, but tires could be flat spotted, or have sidewall cracks, gas is probably shot unless it had a product like Stabil added and "run through" the injectors, the computer maybe sleeping, lol!, etc. Not insurmountable, but I would give it a drive and careful going over.
