x5 4.8is under $7k

Guy says it dosen't start and just wants it gone. If it checks out it could be a smoking deal....

Boy is that pretty. I like the simplicity of my manual trans 3.0 X5 though.

It's tempting. 355 HP and all. It's basically an X5M in sheeps clothing.

That's actually full Blue Book value for a running X5. I can't see how that's a good deal or worth the gamble.

I love how these ads claim they are giving away the vehicle because they just don't have the time to figure it out. How does it make sense to give a heavy discount rather than pay a couple hundred for a proper diagnostic? Either way, this isn't discounted enough for a non-running mystery BMW.

I am not sure why I hate wood-grain trim in anything other than a chauffeur driven car or on the exterior of an old land barge.

Wow, really? That seems like a lot of car for the money. Since it's a mid-2000s BMW, I'm assuming there is some huge catch?

Twin cities with palm trees?

"- New BMW dealer installed transmission ~$7K. Peace of mind "

But won't fix a won't start after it sitting for the summer?

My GRM-bull-E36 M3-O-meter sense is tingling.

The add says it came out of California. Hence the palm trees.

Edit: Ok.. I'm coming around to this being a scam maybe. Guy in the add says to call with no phone number... hmm..

I've seen running ones listed for around that amount here. No one wants to be caught dead in a 10 year old flagship vehicle...
