@kezo Funnily enough, I’ve been finding myself watching a number of YouTube reviews of the latest X5 over the past few days, hoping that they’d list a load of negative issues to finally put me off it. Sadly, they all say it’s absolutely brilliant 😂
The current model, but pre facelift, is now down to around £40k for a good spec one with reasonable mileage. If I’d had my brain in gear 6 months ago, I might have been better to have left Motability and bought one. Running costs over 3 years would probably have put it on a par with our Motability Tucson, but the need for a person hoist spooked me. Now we are used to it, I realise that, in a way, the bigger the car, the easier it is with a hoist, so we may need to revisit again in a few years. It doesn’t help that years ago, when I was convinced I’d treat myself to an X5 when I retired, I acquired the perfect personalised number plate for it (X5 followed by my initials) which is now on retention. My wife says I should just treat myself to one, but it’s just a complete waste of money having two cars, so the Tucson it is 😢😂
