With that budget and those engines I'm looking at cars with anywhere from 60,000 miles to about 85,000 and im just wondering what kind of problems could set my bank account back. The cars are all in good condition but is there any pricy repairs coming up? I was previously looking at A6's and around 90,000 miles you have to replace water pump, timing belt, ect... and that was about a $1,400 fix. This will be my daily driver. Thanks for your help.  |
IMO, only..and I mean only buy a 2004 with CPO. If you are already strapped for cash, and between your figures is strapped for a X5, you don't want a vehicle without a warranty.
