Hello,

I need your help in determining what to do with this lease deal that is maturing in 4 months. This is a 39 month lease on a 2005 X5 3.0i that currently have 12,200 miles. The lease end date is 11/15/2008. The vehicle is in pristine condition. The residual value is $29,627.00. The vehicle is black sapphire metallic, beige leather, cold weather package, premium package, rear climate package, automatic transmission, heated steering wheel, and BMW rain/wind reflectors. The vehicle was involved in an accident and repaired by an authorized BMW repair shop. The amount of damage to the rear of the vehicle totaled around $1,400.

Do I keep the vehicle, sell it, or return it to BMW? This is an excellent vehicle.
