You can get a great X5 with fairly low miles for $18K USD. In that price range you would be looking at high mileage MDX', old Jeep Grand Cherokee's, or very...

IMO, if you have $15000 and want to buy a car you should probably get a new ford fiesta and drive it for 10 years. If you spend the $15000 on a 10 year old X5, you will not be able to afford the...

I think the next most comparable domestic SUV's are the Jeep Grand Cherokee and the Dodge Dakota. Once you load one down with leather, Xenon's, upgraded stereo, v8, etc. you are pushing $40K. The...

I actually don't like the feature at all. Just one more thing that can break. Also, the mirrors don't fold flat against the car.
