I find the old GX strangely appealing. I think it would be a great buy and hold, but I am afraid I would get bored of it. Plus, I can never hold anything for long.
I assume the new GX price is $80K+ but why consider a used BMW X7 if your looking into this price range of vehicles. Down in Delray Beach the lowest trim X7 is $87K but most likely the lowest trim specs is basically lexus highest trim. If you care about reliability then its Lexus.
Ten year old ones currently for sale with no accidents and under 100k miles seem to be listed for roughly twice that. Plus, the last V8, end of an era, etc. There is always some risk, but I am guessing a 10 year ownership period would come out to around $300 a month or less in depreciation. This is assuming a great deal upfront, no accidents, and you don’t drive the wheels off it.
And yet will outlast the majority of other bullshit cars on the market that are actually turds. People are buying them for comfort and reliability, not tech and gas mileage
Anyone able to find full cargo dimensions for the new one? Really want an SUV that I can fit fatbikes in with their front tires off in the back but it’s really hard finding anything new that can. Was really optimistic until I saw how high up the trunk started lol. I’m assuming because of the spare wheel underneath.
Definitely interested in the new GX as my next ride. Debating between that and Land Cruiser. Especially if they have relatively low TCO vs peers. Looking for a good value love how rugged the new GXs look.
