What should I check for in 2001 X5 4.4i. It has 96500 miles on it. Asking price is $18400. What is the normal gas milage on this car. I have 530i and the normal gas milage is like +- 20.

What options does it have? What has been repaired or replaced? Was it serviced regularly? - A lot of miles - I got my 2001 X5 4.4 with SP(sports package) + NAV and 41,800 miles, but paid much more than $18K - sounds like a good price, but you may have to come up with more $ to replace worn out parts, typically water pump, coolant hoses, battery, brakes&rotors, etc

Figure a few grand in maintenance every year....if you are comfortable with the price, go for it.

As you might know, German cars are not cheap to maintain out of warranty

Is it this X5 ? Not sure of the price range you are looking but there are quite a few 2001 X5 on cars.com with lower mileage.

If its the one LeMansX5 found on Cars.com...Why would someone trade in a X5 for an Acura, Hmmmmm!

Lots of miles for 2001, I'd keep looking for something else with lower miles, your gas mileage on these are about 14-16 city, 19-20 highway.
