Some are retaining value, some are not. Take a look at most SUVS not named lexus or MB.
All american rides have dumped. 2007 Xc90s can be had cheaply. I have an 06 xc90 and even though I paid under invoice, Im still not getting even value (accept from the gap insurance estimate).
Deals to be had, just depends on your interest.

December 30, 2008 at 10:59 AM #321724CoronitaParticipantNew, probably not….Depends a lot of make/model..
Used. Probably. Lexus RX’s are about to get a lot cheaper, especially with the redesign around the corner too. π

New Acura MDX’s were being sold at firesale prices. a 2007-08 was selling well below 2004/05 prices.
Personally, not a big fan of the RX. Not that great driving dynamics for me, and Toyota likes to nickel and dime on every single option.
I think the Mdx is a great deal for what it’s worth, and if you want to go cheaper, the Honda Pilot (though not a fan of the current generation styling). There’s also the X5 which I dig, though reliability is always an issue. And Mazda CX7/CX9 is pretty good…
But that’s my biased opinion.

December 30, 2008 at 11:07 AM #321826PKMANParticipant[quote=donaldduckmoore]Happened to go online to check out some 2008 Lexus R350. They are not cheap… [/quote]
Depend on your definition of “cheap”. You can get a 2008 RX350 with relatively low mileage and 3+ year warranty (new + certified) for less than a fully loaded brand new Toyota RA4…and the RA4 is nowhere near as luxurious, plush or feature-loaded. Wouldn’t you consider that a good deal? I would.
I’m shopping for a 2008 Acura TL based on the same logic that I can get a better certified car with comparable warranty service than a brand new Honda Accord.
