Buying and rescuing an X5
Hi,
So in a moment of compasion for a neglected x5 I made an offer to the second hand car sales chap.
The price shown was about R80k. That is about 5700 USD.
I made an offer of 2100 USD and he accepted.
It had been standing there for about eight months.
I took it for a test drive before I made the offer.
I used a heavy right foot to see if the gearbox was fine.
It went well, and my dad really enjoyed the drive.
So a little more details on the car.
It is a build year 2003/09/11
V8 M62TU motor.
V8 4.4
So seems to one of the last V8 4.4s to be built.
There was a slight miss in one cylinder
And slight un even idle
The chain didnt rattle when starting the car
