It was a year old when I bought it...it was a CPO car and has more issues fixed than I can remember while under CPO. After my warranty expired the more expensive repairs started.

Even with the pitfalls I love the car...I have spent hours online looking for a new car and can't find anything I like better than the X5...and getting a new X5 will mean new car payments which I don't want.
