Q Before Buying a CPO '13 xDrive50i M Sport
Hi all. Hope you don't mind the question, but we are going to drive 10 hours in a few days to trade for/pick up a 2013 CPO'd X5 and I just wanted to see if there were any lingering questions I should ask before we sign on the dotted line. I asked about the N63 CCP (it's been done). And I asked about rock chips, tires, etc. All good. What else should I ask? Anything I missing?
Here's a link to the add: http://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-s...ink=true&Log=0 Thanks! jai5w4 |

Just be aware, no matter what the sales person tells you, a CPO warranty does not have the same coverage as the standard factory warranty. Also, the CPO checklist is a joke. It's only something the dealer tells the manufacturer they performed (which they normally don't) to get the manufacturer to issue the CPO warranty.

Anything to look for on a test drive or walkaround? Service record gotchas? |

Their asking price of $41k is at least $3-4k overpriced. Ask if the front driveshaft has been replaced. Check for turbo hose coolant leak, very common in the n63, but typically not covered under CPO. I hope you're going to get a thorough PPI by an independent mechanic before purchase..

I didn't tell you what they are giving us for our trade. Can you show me where there is another 50i M Sport with the mileage, packages and features of this one? I'm all ears, but my research says we are going to pay a premium for premium features (and in the exact color we want). We have been searching for sub-40k miles, '12-'13 only, M Sport, HUD, cold wx package and cooled seats. This has all that and more. And I don't see anything that backs up your numbers of 3-4 thousand over priced. Can you show me exactly what data you used please? |

The CPO inventory currently is very thin because the lease returns for 2013 models came in almost a year ago, so that kind of limits your options. |

KBB shows $40.3k for this car priced cpo'd from the dealership. Also shows up as a "fair deal" (below market price) on Car Gurus. You can speculate about what you think the dealer paid for it, but it was traded in on a Porsche by a coal tycoon out of WV. |

Good thing you were here. Good to know that KBB is valid/gospel for some things but totally invalid for others. You must get smokin deals on all your cars. Thanks again for all the info!! Last edited by jai5w4; 02-24-2017 at 08:09 AM.. |

Sorry, you misunderstand - they certainly won't take $30k for the car, that's the wholesale price; the dealer has about $3-4k into the car on top of it before he lists it for sale, and theyll look to make a decent profit on it. About $36k is a good price. If you *really* love the car, then offer a little bit more. I didn't mean to ask you to walk away

I mean for $41k we bought a 2012 X5M with every option on it and it only had 36k miles... I agree that this one is overpriced, but hey if it's exactly what you want, pay whatever you want! Personally, I would never buy a 50i, I see them selling for less than $20k (2011 with 80k miles).
I would skip the CPO and get a Route 66 warranty on it... five-year and 100k miles and it covers about 10000x more than the CPO warranty. |
