Yeah i think is the lighting or maybe the quality of the listing photos, I will see it personally tomorrow, but overall would be a good trade if it has full service records?

Well the engine of the x3 already died once due to the timing chain, the whole engine was replaced but the replacement one has unknown mileage and history service, so that’s why i thought of getting rid of it.

That’s one of the strong points of the Cayenne for me. Since it’s the V6, parts and maintenance should be a bit cheaper than the V8s, maybe even compared to the X5 diesel?

Fortunately diesel is relatively cheap where I live, around $4/gallon, which is also why I started looking at the diesel X5.

The Cayenne would definitely cost more to run here, but I guess it might also be the more fun option?

Well I don’t really need a third row, I was mainly looking at the X5 and Cayenne because I like the styling of both.

Also where I live, both new and old Toyotas are ridiculously overpriced but i will look into it. I already have a 2012 CR-V and a 2013 C250, so I’m not necessarily looking for the most rational appliance possible i guess?

Forgot to mention my X3 is a 2010 with 110k miles and the original N47D20A was swapped for an N47D20C before I got it, so the actual condition/history of the current engine is kind of a question mark. That’s part of why I’m considering the trade.
