- Any regrets on things you didnt get that you wish you did, or things you did get you wish you didnt?

- Lease vs finance - these X's seem to hold their value pretty well, making leases less attractive. Thoughts?

- Target price - looks like ~$500 above invoice is a fair target. So if MSRP is $55k roughly, and invoice is $51k, that should be about what I'm shooting for correct? Anyone have tips to get more? I have no team drive discount, USAA, college grad, or loyalty unfortunately so just leveraging holiday cash and whatever else I can come up with.

- Considered Q5, XC60-R, GLK - any regrets for those who chose the X3 over the competition?

Anything else we should know?
Like you said, a biased audience.
