Used X3s in New York benefit from BMW delays

BMW won’t be selling its newest X3 in the U.S. as early as originally thought, which might mean used X3s in New York could experience better sales.

The X3 is going to be built in South Carolina, according to Automobile Magazine. While the BMW will be built in the U.S., it will go on sale in Europe six months earlier. This schedule is unusual because American-built BMWs are normally first sold in the U.S. market and then in Europe.

The X3 will arrive late because BMW is setting up a new customer order program in which individuals will be able to customize their vehicle, reports the news source.

People who are looking to purchase this BMW immediately might choose to buy a used X3 in New York or elsewhere rather than waiting. Although the 2007 models have already been on the road for more than two years, they come equipped with a variety of features, like a 3-liter six-cylinder engine that produces 260 horsepower and a stability control system, according to Edmunds.com. The base price for an X3 of this year is generally around $24,000.
