Looking to purchase a 2006 X5...

[Cobra 427]

Hi,

My name is Randy, and this is my first post here... I've been a BMW owner for about 6 years - I drove an '03-325i for 4 years, then upgraded to an '05-545i a year ago. I purchased them through the BMW CPO program.

I'm looking to replace my wife's big Ford SUV with an X5, however I'm on a tight budget. I like the 2007's but there is big price difference between the E53 and E70...

I'm currently looking at a 2006 X5 3.0i with many options (sport, premium, nav, pdc, cold, etc...) and low mileage (22K) - clean CarFax. It's at a local dealer, however they are NOT selling as a CPO.

I'm thinking of making an offer that includes CPO (and new tires), however I'm not sure how much the dealer will try to add to the price to "CPO" the vehicle.

If you have any advice in this area, then I would be greatly appreciative.

Thanks,
Randy...
