My X5 for sale - sold

Post by Imy » Fri Jun 19, 2015 5:10 pm

Time has come for me to now sell the X5. Ive been putting it off for a while but I have now bought the replacement and whilst the Mrs still enjoys driving it - I don't really want three cars on the drive way.

In a nutshell:

Black 3.0 X5 with BRC LPG.
91k miles
MOT just done now
Fully stamped service book - car was fully serviced 7 weeks ago.
New rear brake discs
Both drive shafts changed by Jason last year.
Aftermarket Pioneer unit with Bluetooth phone calls and music streaming and DVD play back.
DVD players in rear head rests although one doesn't work - was told when purchasing it that it was a loose wire, never got it fixed though as with only one child at the time didn't need two screens.
Tyres with excellent tread - fronts are Pirelli which I had fitted and rears are Atturo which were already fitted.
Few age related marks on body.

Genuine reason for sale: I got the Leaf GT-r for day to day driving and have just purchased a 335i for the weekend. I just don't have a need for such a big car and LPG. Since I have owned the car I have only done 12k miles in the last 3yrs.

I know ive missed loads out so please contact me if you require any further details.

Priced at £4,200

I don't have tapatalk or photbucket so cant post photos but if anyone is interested I can send through wattsapp or email.

Thanks all
Imy

You mention a few age related marks - that could be a fee hours polishing or a significant spend in a body shop. I suggest for those doing the sums and considering your car, it might be appreciated if you list more details and or provide pics. Happy to delete this reply and any comments thereafter later if concerned re it affecting the sale.

Thanks. That's a valid point I didn't consider. Never the less car sold to first viewer - makes me think I priced it too low!

We'll done

You priced a little low but also to sell.

You could have advertised is for 5.7k only to have to reduce to £4995 get someone to view and haggle to your advertised price here.

That's true - I was after a quick sale. The chap that bought it did the deal without even test driving it! He was very naïve, he told me he had been saving for 3yrs to get one - so I guess he was blind sighted. He only took it for test drive on my suggestion... Even then he was perfectly happy only taking it round the block even though I suggested a much longer test drive. What can you do though.
