You can't compare 2 totally different vehicles and also what the lease buyout is on yours. The dealer will CPO yours and put it back on the lot for probably $4K more than your buyout. You are comparing apples to oranges.

But the OP could have said "Hey, a 4.8 with half the miles? I'll take it, lets get together this weekend.

And they'll ask 7k over buy out or more!

At least the old Lexus will not have radioactive contamination. Very seriously I was told that real radioactive stuff was detected on some japanese vehicles exported to russia. Where does the honda come from? look you are looking for one for your family. I would not buy the jap cars. Enjoy X5. it is a fun car to drive.

Even at that, the numbers are high on the 3litre...there are deals out there, plus the OP realized the vehicle didn't have options he needed.

Mines gone, don't know what I'm going to replace it with...will drive one of my other cars till i figure it out..I will miss the way it..but also am LOVING not paying $1,100 a month for it right now!

I jus talked .to the BMW dealer. The BMW does not have the spokrt pkg nor it has a 3rd row.

How is the life on X5.

I do have a 2003 325i. I has been really good to me.

Thanks

Great looking vehicle, even have the aerodynamic kit, but a bit high on price, even from Canadian standards. I got mine for 50k with 3 years BMW warranty and about 32k miles on it (that includes about 15% taxes and other charges).

With Pilot and GX470, there's no comparison. X is an X. However, GX470 will give you plenty space, where X is a bit tight on knees in the 3rd row seat which is rated for people as tall as 5' 6" and leaves very little trunk room.

Life is good, have seen a few around doing half a million kms. So I am expecting it would do anywhere between 300-500k. But if problems arises, then God bless ya!

An '07 is going to be worth less than that the '08 he is looking at. So, if anything the '08 he is looking at is a better value than this '07 since they are the same price.

OP: according to KBB (not the standard but a decent starting point) somewhere around $40K is about right for an '08 3.0.
