Buy a 2015 X1 Sdrive28i or 2011 Honda Accord?

Had to sell a dying BMW 2004 X3 with 205k. It was a gift, but in the 2 years that I owned, put in $3500 in repairs. Got a estimate for another $1500 plus a list of future safety issues. 

But we LOVED how it drove. My son, 19, needs a reliable car, good resell, low maintenance, and wants to consider the X1. What major issues come up with a 2015 XI with 104k miles? 

 

Thank you!

Morning

Welcome to the Forum

I take it your US based but the same rules apply where ever you live in the world when buying a used car. A car can have several owners and if just one doesn't care there could be a legacy of wear and tear that isn't obvious at first. So History, History, History and then History.

With around a 100k on either car if properly maintained they should both be reliable however Suspension Bushes Shocks Brake Discs and Pads will be suspect unless they have been changed during the servicing. Gearbox normally the most abused part of a car as they are rarely included in service schedules so check that.

That would apply to both cars

What ever your choice ENJOY

Dave
