Hi All,

My wife and I are looking to buy an X5 / X3 / Touarge type car. Looking at 2006 cars with approximately 50-60k the going rate is about 11k in diesel formate. However the petrol equivalents are about 8k. So naturally we should go for the petrol, however diesels hold there money better - we'll they do currently!

So based on my wife's annual mile of around 10,000, which fuel type should be go for.

Calculations or just opinions would be much appreciated!

Great input, thank you. I guess the real stumbling block for me is rasiduals. Petrol 4x4s are very cheap, and I doubt many people are buying them - and as much as maybe petrol makes sence for us, I feel we will stand a better chance of selling the diesel model on again in a few years time. With petrol models, we'll be giving them away at this rate...
