Buying a BMW X5 New vs Used
If you purchase a used BMW X5 that is 2 years old, then you could save $22,676 compared to buying new, and still have a relatively new model with plenty of useful life remaining. If you plan to keep this vehicle for 3 years then your total cost of depreciation would be $24,641. Try other age and ownership length combinations, or different vehicles to see if you can find depreciation sweetspots where this cost is the lowest. Hint: Try vehicles between 2 and 4 years old, as brand new vehicles depreciate quickly. Also, if this is a recently released model and buying a few years old isn't possible, consider another vehicle, or perhaps wait until more used X5 models become available.
What About BMW X5 Insurance Costs?
The average cost to insure a BMW X5 is about $1,987 per year. This adds up to around $9,935 after 5 years of vehicle ownership.
