California X5 4.4i

Hi!

I really want to purchase an X5.

I found a X5 4.4i in California, with Premium/Sport Package X5 with 19' Sport Wheels, w/ ParK Distance Control.
The milage on this car is 25,000 miles.

I phoned into the dealer (a BMW dealer), and they said that there has been no accidents, and that the car has had only 1 owner. I went their to test drive the car too, and it drove very well (although I've never driven an X5 before).

I really want to know if you guys think this is a good deal or not. And if you don't think its a good deal, what price you would pay for it.

Thanks a million.

I appreciate all the help.

What are they offering it to you for?
I wouldn't pay any more than 36

Hi!

I think the car is priced around 26,000.00

I was thinking - is it possible that someone can reduce the milage on the speedometer?

Why is the car so cheap?

Also, if I were to purchase this vehicle, would any of you recommend me getting a mechanic to do an inspection?
The dealer said that it has covered warranty until Feb 2009.

Thanks a million.

Sounds like a good deal, especially if they cover the first 2 payments. I just got an 05 4.4i with sport, premium and navi for 27k(there is always a premium if you want navi). It had 39k miles on it. I would look into the amount of factory warranty left because the CPO warranty is not really as good. We were lucky that the car still had 10 months factory warranty left. It's my wife's fav color combo(black/beige) so that sealed the deal. I got it with the .9 financing and they covered the first 2 payments. So I guess you can say I got it for 25.5k. Cali prices are slightly inflated, I wish I lived somewhere cheaper, lol.

how do you know how much you'ld pay if you don't know what year the x is?

What year is it? an 04? 05? 06?

And no, it's almost impossible to change the odometer.

I would consider an extended warranty.

Difficult to tell without knowing the year.
Odometer reading is stored at several places and the key.

Hi Guys!!!!

Thanks for the email. I'm sorry I didn't clarify earlier.

Its a 2005 BMW X5 4.4i (with 19" rims, and it had a 'panoramic sun roof' - the coolest thing I've ever seen).

Its priced at 24,900.00

Thanks a lot!

Ahh. My bad
I assumed it was an 05 because mine is.

Ha! I was just going to say that. That's funny...

The year makes all of the difference...

If it's really a 2005, then buy it right now. That's a heck of a deal.
