Should I buy this X5

[rick chi-town]

I just bought less than 2 mos ago essentially the same car, black/black with all of the same options as you listed... I paid $33,500 with 45k mi on it. Although I do know they're going through the autions currently at low $30's, so I got a heck of a deal. You should still have some wiggle room down from that tho. and do not be concerned about the 3.0i engine at all, it's def a heavy car, but it runs out quick all day... wife's car, but I get to drive it occasionally.

And yours is a CPO ? I just did a search that took 30 seconds on Autotrader for all '08 3.0 CPOs under $35K with under 45K miles and it pulled back a whopping 3 in the whole US.

yes, CPO... it has already been to my local dealer three times under the 4/50 warranty just getting things back to perfect... I am OCD all day long and my cars need to be perfect. they have replaced trim pieces, fixed the A/C, oil service, etc.

I just picked up this 2007 2 weeks ago with EVERY possible option except running boards... only 14,000 miles!!!!!

Even at that, the numbers are high on the 3litre...there are deals out there, plus the OP realized the vehicle didn't have options he needed.

Mines gone, don't know what I'm going to replace it with...will drive one of my other cars till i figure it out..I will miss the way it..but also am LOVING not paying $1,100 a month for it right now!

For comparison, in January, I got a CPO 2007 X5 4.8i with 32k miles for $39k. Options and packages were pretty well equipped: Prem, Prem Sound, Tech, Sport, Rear Climate, Cold Weather, Comfort Access, Active Steer, HUD, 3rd Row. Warranty til Jan 2013.

Things it did not have were 20" wheels, Multi-contour, Vented seats, Rear Entertainment, and iPod or SAT (although I made them add the iPod kit before I bought)
