Trade in Value my 11 X5 towards 14 X5?

What do you think is reasonable? I have a 41k mile Alpine White 2011 X5 Xdrive 5.0 Sports Package with:

Adaptive Drive
Rear Seat Entertainment
Heads Up Display
Most options - it doesn't have active steering, ventilated seats or active cruise. No leather dash.

It is Alpine White and is in excellent condition (9/10) - new tires, no major dings.

What do you think I might expect trading against a new 2014 X5 that has MSRP around $70k?

Thanks

They will give you less than $35k first to see if you bite. The vehicle I just purchased for under $40k is similar to yours, 42k miles, but add M-sport pack, third row seat, leather dash, vented seats... pretty much all options. Hope this helps.

Trade in price doesn't matter. Only the difference to the new vehicle matters.

If they see you are concerned about trade in price, they will make it high, and keep the price of the new vehicle high.

If you start off negotiating the price of the new vehicle, you may do better there but will get less apparent trade in value.

They are only concerned about the delta, and will wait to see which price you are concerned about, if they are good.

Run it through Edmunds.com for trade in and private sale values. Or take it to Carmax - their trade in price will be low, but it will give you some negotiating room. Agree with the previous poster as well, don't be fooled by a dealership's "high" trade in offer. They make up for it in other ways. If you're interested in making the most money possible sell privately. If you're interested in convenience and tax advantages negotiate the selling price of the car you're going to buy then negotiate the trade value separately.

Just curious what your impetus is to cop a 2014/first MY of the refresh?
Your current X isn't near 50k miles yet, but the depreciation cost would no be fun,
at least to me.

I agree with posters above: unless you bump into a hungry dlr, it is all about the dollar diff of your car vs their car.

Main reason is I have 42.5k on the clock and getting the BMW extended warranty (mandatory) will cost me $3.8k.

That being said, I will probably pay the $3.8k and keep driving the 5.0

I would stay where you are at in the 11 and get the warranty. The only reason to jump is if you have a ton of cash burning a hole in your pocket and nothing else better to do with it, imo.

if you own the car from new and maintained it well i think you could roll the dice on it for a year out of warranty and if you have a good relationship with your dealer they could cut costs on parts and labor if something should occur. a warranty is a MUST if you are buying used and unknown product from abc in xyz. wait for at least second year model and revisit. demand may be down your depreciation may have stabilized by then but then again your car, your call.

When it comes to high end cars, you're just not going to do well.

Most of the cars I've traded had under 20K at time warranty goes.
I trade just to keep a car in warranty. The dealer is going to win
regardless. If its the "I want a new model" just do it and don't look
back.

nobody says you have to buy BMW's extended warranty either. Third party warranty (I have warranty direct) + trustworthy independent shop @ http://www.bimmershops.com.
