A Possibility...

Hey All,

I just test drove an '02 X5 3.0i with about 76,000 miles (the delivery date was 6/25/02). It has one owner (all service records are intact) and it was a local trade. The dealer wants about $22,000-USD for the vehicle. They've recently replaced the tires and battery. The service records show that routine maintenance (including Inspection 1) was performed and the instrument cluster was replaced due to dead pixels in 2005. It has the premium, cold weather, and rear climate packages. Overall, the vehicle appears to be in very good shape. I've got a few questions for the x5perts, what would be a fair price for the car? I'm going to have my mechanic look over it next week, what should I tell him to look for regarding buyer-beware problem areas? Please be as specific as possible. Thanks a bunch, I really appreciate your input.

Does the X5 have an extended warranty at all?

i'm guessing it's not a CPO...

try to find one with a BMW CPO warranty. without it, do not fall in love with it...even though you already have

An extended warranty is available for additional fee.

You do not want to buy an X5 with high mileage and no warranty, becuase you are reaching mileage where most people find problems with their transmission.

The warranty would be third-party, the dealer with vehicle isn't a BMW dealer. Based on what I've heard, the price for various "levels" runs between $1,200-2,500USD. Good dealership, have dealt with them in the past.

you should check with your dealer to see if they accept the warranty...

they can refuse to acknowledge it.

I would try and get them to bring down the price, because it has not warranty and you have to pay extra to get it.
