For Sale: 06 4.8is Lemans Blue

[deanblue9]

So, the wife and I got bored and we when to the dealership to take a look at an 06 4.8is in lemans Blue; the car only has 31k on the clock. I was extremely pleased walking away from the dealership. I was about to bargain with the dealership for an even trade with out 06 4.8is in sapphire black with 38k on the clock. The only difference from this truck to our is that the Lemans Blue did come with stock navi system; I was very confused about it. I thought that was pretty standard with this car. That did not matter because I am planning to install a Pioneer unit. I never really liked the stock unit; somewhat outdated. Were planning to pick up the car tomorrow and I'll be calling my BMW to bring the car to have it check. They even allowed me to swap my wheels and tires from my current x5 into our new x5. Eventhough, they just replaced all four tires with Toyo tires; but it looked too aggressive and too much road noise for my taste. The car is nearly flawless with an exception of one small door ding about they will have that fix at no charge. In all, we have a pretty nice day. Cant wait to bring her home and do a full detail....

Good stuff. Hop on that lemans

[deanblue9]

Thanks man. Yah, I can't wait to bring her home tomorrow and give a really clean bath and a full detail. However, her first stop will be at our bmw dealer to have the brakes change and an alignment.

Have them do a diagnostic also. Ask them about intermediate levers

I don't get it.....why go through the time, effort, and cost of trading in the exact same car with 8k mi difference and different color? Lemans blue is nice, but not worth all that IMO.

[deanblue9]

there was no COSTS involved; even trade......

Don't you have to pay registration, smog, and sales tax on the new vehicle? Those are all costs that you wouldn't have to had paid otherwise.

Like I have said, its pretty much an even trade. We don't have smog test in CT. I pressed really hard to be sure that I would walk away without paying anything other than getting new plates; which is like $75.00.

No state sales tax? That is really good.

if your X5 has been reliable, or there are small problems you are familiar with, i would keep it. Who knows what the lemans blue 4.8is has been through?

My 4.4i has been extremely reliable, and I wouldn't trade it even if someone offered me a similiar mileage 4.6...


just sayin'...
