And you’re looking at used trucks at that point, not new.
People have been able to buy these for about $59k, but that was with price protection on preorders.
It is the same motor as the 300 and the 300 is absolutely amazing, but not available in AWD.

I think thats for the 2012’s and I think they might be more than that. Like they said before around 75K.

If you’re shopping for a $75k car, you probably would also consider an $85k car.

Also, [autotrader.com](http://autotrader.com) has plenty listed for $65k… don’t see where you guys are getting 75k from
x5 m is considerably more expensive, so i’ll stop comparing… $65k is way more reasonable of a price for the Jeep. Still more than I would fork out though.

Yea i dont think i would ever spend $65K or $75K on a jeep. Dont get me wrong that Jeep is sick and has the power to back it up, but thats alot of money for a Jeep if you ask me.

Tax included 64k?
X5M’s listed from 60K and up on autotrader
Hit 11s with tune only

65k was list price on autotrader
Lowest price I could find on a NEW x5 m is 86,900
so it’s 20k more than the jeep…significant

I guess I could just say it again… since you guys don’t read well.

If you guys would read a review, it has been stated that this Jeep is the best American made vehicle on the market and that it is worth it.
Worth it or not, I’m not spending that much.

For that price I’d take the standard Grand Cherokee with a C6 for when it’s nice out. Or pick one up used below 40 on the next gas price spike.

Nyspeed; where a 1 month old apple is a spit shine away from being the same as an apple on the tree.
Give me a LM002 or a Cayenne Turbo S while we are at it.
In all seriousness I like the NA power the SRT8 had in the new 300.

Not giving you a hard time everyone seems to like to do it. Like a $20k bump is nothing or just pick up a near new version and they cost the same.
Even car and driver did a 2008 E63 amg compared to a brand new 2012 300 SRT8.

That is the **Charger** homie… I think the 300 would have done even better.
Guys… just ignore everything you read in this thread. I’m sick of seeing these things all over now. I never saw Viper’s rolling around… and there weren’t any @ S&R … then I get one, and now there are 5-6 @ S&R every week… lol.

Sorry confused one LX platform with another.
Granted people turned this into a SRT8 vs X5M thread, while it started off as $200k+ tuner truck thread.
