With that said, you should expect to pay $1k more for the CPO than the equivalent private party going value...

Also, I noticed your in Fremont, you may want to consider driving up to Pleasanton to check their inventory. I found them more willing to deal than Fremont. Just my experience however.
I assumed about $1k, given how much the dealer will charge to purchase the Extended Warranty, which is pretty much what a CPO is.

The X5 that I'm looking at is not at Fremont.

This is my feeling from my experience of buying two CPO BMWs.

Exactly my question, and why I raised this thread. The BMW dealer offers free carfax on their website, and this car is clean (3 year lease return, no accidents, local car [not from out of state]). Interestingly, this dealer has a couple of CPO X5s for sale, where the carfax shows accidents

I'm taking my wife to the dealer on Thursday to check it out in more detail. Wish me luck!

Thanks,
Randy...
