Reliable Luxury used SUV under 15? X5 X3 MDX RX330 Touareg Cayenne ML320

Not selling the Boxster but need a family truckster, so looking for a reliable used luxury SUV less than 10 years old under $15,000 that would look appropriate parked next to the Boxster

Looking at the following since they all meet that criteria
BMW X5
BMW X3
Acura MDX
Lexus RX330
Volkswagen Touareg
Porsche Cayenne
Mercedes ML320 or ML350


I think BMW, Porsche, Volkswagen and Mercedes are out because they don't have the reliability of the Acura and Lexus and they're more expensive to have repairs done and repairs on the boxster cost enough

MDX's under $15,000 are the mid-2000s and look rather bland


RX330 under $15,000 are also mid-2000s but look pretty good compared to the MDX


The MDX and RX330 are very similar in mpg, hp, acceleration, cargo, etc, only major difference is the MDX has third-row seating which gives it the nod if 7 seats are required. RX330 seems a bit more luxurious.

any thoughts?
