its 4.8 petrol. thats likely the biggest reason for price and cat d brings it lower. if u do consider this car i would hpi it and contact previous owner via logbook.

oh no im not going to buy it just thaught it was cheap, i know its a4.8is but they are lovely and no worse on petrol than anypetrol x5 and its lowish milage 06 plate at £8995 that gives you allot of petrol money with the saving over an 06 plate 3.0d!

The one on Autotrader is cheap, but it doesn't look like a proper repair was done.

Pass rear door different colour, driver side shut lines at doors are out, signs that panels are out. Very real possibility this car will crab along the road and eat tyres in the process. :thumbsdown:

I would advise anyone thats not a panel beater with a jig in the garage to leave well alone.

i would say the colours been different will be reflections it often happens in photos shut lines do look a little different but would be able to re align them it is only a cat d which should be light panel damage, it just apears to be a whole heap of x5 for what 9k and could well be cheaper compared to other 04 3.0i fetching similar amounts you get an 06 4.8is
