Sell now or next year?

[14thbmw]

This is not a for sale thread. But I would appreciate some input.

I have a 2013 X5 5.0 which I bought new 20 months ago. It has 46,300 miles on it so is nearing the end of its warranty. It is well equipped and I recently put on new wheels, tires and wheel arches (wider). I also have a black grille installed. I have the original wheels (no tires), wheel arches and grilles. I think it would sell for $43-45k today. Condition is very good, but not pristine. No mechanical issues and it has been reliable.

I am considering selling it now, or waiting until March/April after winter. We have generally mild winters here but forecasts are suggesting another cold one and more snow than last year. If I hold it until then, it will have about 60k miles. Adjusting for mileage and another model year older, I think it would be worth $38-42k then (I used a 2012 model with that mileage to get pricing online).


It is under warranty now, would not be if I wait. Fall is usually a good time to sell AWD/4WD vehicles, Spring not so much.

So, what would you all recommend - when is it best to sell and why then?

Thanks!
