Don't know what the price should be for second hand Xtrails, but I would recommend that you do a Search for Xtrails on this site and you'll get a good idea of what they're being sold at.
On your choice, it seems like the 2005 is a better deal. You are paying 10k extra, but you'll get those back when you sell it. Now, there are a lot more factors which you did not mention..like car condition, and mileage.
My logic around buying cars is that buying something cheap is not necessarily the best choice (unless you are very short on cash and have better things to do with that cash). If you buy a car for 50k and sell it after 2 years for 35k, or you buy for 40k and sell it after 2 years for 25k, your cost of ownership is really 15k in both cases. Then might as well enjoy a newer car. If you get it financed, the monthly difference is not that huge either.
