EF Car Gurus! Lend Me Your Ear!

[mrplunkey]

Wife has a BMW X5 which works great for her, me, 3 year old and my 13 year old.

But twins are coming in 14 weeks -- so we need to go bigger.

The only thing that really works is something huge. We've looked at the Lexus and it's close but not quite big enough (two car seats and a booster are huge).

She's considering a 2012 Cadillac Escalade ESV (whatever the long one is) with a Platinum package.

What's a reasonable price to pay?

And what is a 2008 BMW M5 in excellent condition worth?

Oh look at me, I drive luxury automobiles.

Escalade is your choice in the upscale SUV category for sure.

As for the X5 (assuming it's the 4.8i and 50,000 or less miles on it), your trade-in value should be around 33,500. If you sell it, private sale could get you up to 36,000.

[nangiggles]

when is the best moment to buy a car? tax season? or do they actually jack up the prices because people have money? I've always wondered.....
