what do you all think of this 2004 4.8is

What do you all think of this:

2004 BMW X5 4l8is AWD 75k Nav Leath S'Roof Wtr package 20inch rims

I went and looked at it last week and drove it. Was very clean but rear tires needed replacement. Car was traded in on a new Buick which is how they got the car so never through the auction system.

I liked it just not sure I would spend 24K on a 2004 model with 75K miles. Also funny in that the guy tookk a picture of the one of the front tires which had good tread but none of the rear tires that needed replacement in the pictures attached to the post.

It looks nice, you probably have room to haggle with the price. I wouldn't say those fronts are good either. They look like they are <5000 miles away from the wear strip.

i just bought a 03 4.6is same color like 2 weeks ago with 130000 and m price was 16,000 plus taxes and book on it is almost 19 so if you like get it they are very nice trucks

Nice pickup on the 4.6si. There is a local guy here selling a 2002 4.6si with 88K for 18K. He originally listed it for 21K last week and seemed to of dropped the price:

2002 BMW X5 4.6is

Is there much of a difference between the 4.6si and the 4.8si. I think it is like 25HP of so but that is probably not that much of a noticeable difference? I may go look at the 2002 this weekend as the guy seems like he needs to sell quickly which is why the instant reduction in price. Just a bit scared to spend around 20K on something with no warranty and high mileage. Have a 2000 Mercedes and know what maintenance and such runs on these type of cars.

i was lucky the guy gave me a 1 year warranty and like you said it is only 25hp and whatever options the truck has that is it only .2 cubes

Dealer is firm on price. They just got the car 10 days ago. They will not drop price for 30 days.

Guys,I have a chance to get same kind of rims for $1500 CAD,tires are bad,rims are slightly scuffed..what do you think about a price?

[cube4da99]

I got an 06 with fewer miles for a shade more than that...this seems a bit high.

I have a friend that works for BMW service and he told me most 3rd party warranty companies are crap as many refuse to pay BMW rates. For example you might have a covered item like a water pump that BMW will tell you is $300 + $400 labor for a total of $700 they in turn contact your warranty company and they tell BMW they will only pay $175 for the part and $200 for labor so the customer is on the hook for the difference + the deductible. He then goes on to tell me how pissed off the customer is. Only good warranty is straight through BMW.
