Just venting here, but is it me or are car prices getting a little ridiculous. Case in point, my wife's X5 lease is up. This is the 3rd X5 we've had, and probably 7th or 8th I've purchased or leased from this one dealership in the last 10 years (I do it for other family members, too).
I usually do bare minimum down and the monthly lease has gone from $650 on my 2009 to $750 on the 2012, and now they want close to $900 for the current model with less stuff. Granted they've made some minor changes to this vehicle, but it's ESSENTIALLY THE SAME. The price has jumped from the mid-$40s to almost $70K in 6 years.
This is a US-assembled vehicle. Can't really blame the dollar for that one. I can easily lease another LR4 for less, and it's a WAY nicer vehicle. Hell, a Volvo XC90 is like $44,000.
Nuts. I'm getting off the BMW bandwagon. Mercedes, Volvo, Audi, LR, here I come. Just waiting on Elon Musk to put out that All-Electric SUV
