Decided on the X5 4.6is people. Please help !!!
 
Hello guys,

Well I have been on the wire with deciding to get an X5 4.4 from here or an X5 4.6is from the States and I think my final decision will be to get one from the states. So I am looking for a site that sells dependable X5. Now I live in Toronto Ontario Canada and to limit the amount of driving I would have to do is there anything anyone would recommend ??

If I locate a truck I like can I request them to do a leak down and compression test and a full inspection to make sure everything is ok and Im not buying a lemon ?

Also I guess I would have to go down to the states to take a look at it I assume ?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

I am looking for 4.6is for around $16,000 - $17000 US obviously with low kilometers/miles

If there is anyone here selling one or can point me to one please let me know

Thanks

Good luck on your search! The internet is going to be your friend on this.

site:craigslist.org X5 4.6is - Google Search

The above link should give you all of the hits for a X5 4.6is that are on Craigslist.

As I have said to other members of this forum that if they find a car in my area I am more than happy to go check it out for them, take pictures and if they arrange all of the service inspection stuff I will take the car and drop it off for them.

I am sure you might be able to find other members who will do that for you!

I think there are 2 4.6's here for sale on the forum. ChilliWilli is in the NY area and his 4.6 looks great. A bit more than what you want to pay but it's a great looking X

is it really possible to buy a 4.6 with low miles at that price? I'm still seeing them above 20k @ 100k+miles. hope not to sound rude, but a 4.6 is not the sort of car you should buy on a budget, considering the maintenance costs on such a strung out X5.

:iagree:

you can get one for 16-17k with around 70k-80kmiles only....

Anything is possible, with digging and luck, but a 4.6 V8 for that kind of
dough is going to be a former wreck or, with lots of miles as previously
posted.

Besides all the "tests" possible, it will be a high mileage car that you may
be taking a great leap of faith on; not a fun or economical car to own, imo.
I think your price range is unrealistic...
But, good luck.
