What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the the BMW X5
| Price of the BMW X5: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2010 | 4dr SUV turbocharged 265hp 3.0L I6 Diesel 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD | BMW cost higher than other brand in the same class, except Porsche and Land Rover. |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 260-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD | It was very hard to find one close to or under invoice. But the vehicle does retain a lot of residual value. I had to do a lot of research to find one at a decent price...but I did! |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 260-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD | Overpriced relative to USA prices |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 315-horsepower 4.4L V8 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD | I feel that the certified pre owned program from BMW adds much too high a cost to the vehicle. However, wife wanted from dealership, so we had to get from there. |
| 2004 | 4dr SUV 225-horsepower 3.0L I6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD | These can be pricey. |
| 2002 | 4dr SUV 282-horsepower 4.4L V8 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD | New price is enormous. 50,000+ I paid 15,000 |

| Price of the Acura TSX: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 201-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD | Got it for well below invoice |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 205-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed manual FWD | It was $5000 less than an A4 and $10000 less than a BMW 3. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 205-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD | inexpensive in its class |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 205-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed manual FWD | The TSX is a lot of car for the price. The only extra cost option is navigation, which I did not get. Everything else is standard. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 205-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD | Best value at the price point, compared to the competition (Lexus IS, Infiniti G35) |
| Price of the Acura TSX: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 201-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD | too high |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 205-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed manual FWD | Just seemed a bit pricy for what you were getting, but ther was no faulting the overall quality feel and execution of all aspects of this vehicle. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 205-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD | For the same MSRP as the Accord V6 w/ 6SP, the monthly payment on the lease was about $100/mo. more. The dealers were also very firm with their pricing. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 205-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed manual FWD | Dealer unwilling to negotiate price. |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan 200-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed manual FWD | Too expensive for what you get as a used car. Nothing I can see warrants this high resale value for what is essentially a European Honda Accord |

| 2008 | 4dr SUV 260-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
The overall quality is great. Everything is in place, is well finished, and fits. Also, everything works as advertised. I read a few complaints concerning the iDrive but after an hour or so of instruction, it is easily mastered. |
| 2004 | 4dr SUV 225-horsepower 3.0L I6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
quality materials. clean exterior lines. clean interior features. |
| 2004 | 4dr SUV 225-horsepower 3.0L I6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |

| 2010 | 4dr Sedan 201-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Fine leather and no cheap plastics on the interior, dash is very nice and looks really good at night. Would have preferred that Acura kept the blue dash lights though. |
| 2010 | 4dr Sedan 201-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Feels very upscale, no gaps in trim, quality appears to be better thanthe Fusion. |
| 2010 | 4dr Sedan 201-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed manual FWD |
The interior is put together pretty well. The seats are more plush and comfortable than the 1st gen. Most of the materials are nice, but there are some areas where Acura skimped. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 201-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
High quality interior |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 205-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Every line and gap is even and tight. Interior finishes are nice and not cheap and tacky. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 205-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Everything is just so nicely put together. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 205-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed manual FWD |
Good finish throughout. Car sounds good inside and out. Never needs visits to the shop. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 205-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed manual FWD |
Consistent Honda quality. Easy to work on, well assembled. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 205-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
TOP NOTCH FOR THE MONEY |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan 200-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
From the front lip to the rear end of the car it is beautifully built. |
