BMW's X5 is fast, comfortable, and prestigious. It delivers superb handling and excellent performance. As if its 4.4i wasn't quick enough, BMW has introduced a 347horsepower 4.6is model. Logically, the X5 makes little sense. It is not highly capable off road when measured against other capable sportutilities. It offers less cargo capacity than a 5 Series wagon with an uncomfortably high load floor. It does not offer quite the onroad performance, handling or braking of a sports sedan or sports wagon in their respective price ranges. Logic may not be the key factor here, however. The X5 is sporty and stylish, often attracting attention. It's quick. It works well in foul weather. And it offers that commanding seating position that many people like. It also has that twinkidney grille and BMW's reputation for quality and driving excitement. Perhaps those are among the reasons X5 sales are strong. BMW sold more than 40,000 X5s during the 2001 calendar year. The new BMW X5 4.6is model takes SUV performance to new heights with a powerful V8 that delivers 060 mph acceleration times in the 6.5second range, which is very quick, indeed. It offers a potential top speed of nearly 150 mph, which is seriously fast for a vehicle this large. Massive tires offer impressive cornering grip and stopping power. It may be the besthandling SUV on the road. Muddy trails are easily negotiable. Inside, it's luxurious and comfortable.
Purchasing an older vehicle, such as the 2002 BMW X5, makes good financial sense. You're able to avoid the steep depreciation rates that occur with brand new vehicles. This essentially gives you the advantage of getting a 2002 BMW X5 for less money than when it was new. If the 2002 BMW X5 was properly maintained, you also have a good chance of steering clear of problems that would have developed when the car was new.
The amount you pay for an older car depends on various factors. One important element is where you buy the vehicle. You're likely to get a better deal if you buy it from a private party, as opposed to a dealer. On the other hand, a reputable dealer will normally have some kind of limited warranty, so you can drive away knowing that if the car breaks down right away, you'll be covered. Another factor that may affect price on a 2002 BMW X5 is whether it's "certified" by the manufacturer. A certified vehicle will cost more because warranty service is provided that normally doesn't come with a used car.
Another dynamic that will play into the purchase price is the resale value. A used vehicle with a high resale value will obviously cost you more. It is expected that the 2002 BMW X5 will have a good resale value. This assumes that the 2002 BMW X5 is in good condition and has a reasonable number of miles.
