X5M
Post by Lupen » Tue Apr 23, 2013 10:59 pm
Folks,
I am picking up my 2011 X5M from Belfast on Friday... £1k deposit down and £45k to pay when I am there.
This is subject to satisfactory examination obviously. I wanted to pick your brains on what I should be checking and is there anything I should be asking the dealer for now, such as updated sat nav maps etc ??
I have had the rear arches resprayed and protected under the warranty, and the guys are detailing it over the next couple of days... Just serviced and tax runs to the end of May... Tyres at 6mm... It's got mats.
What am I missing guys ??
Cheers,
Paul.

Firstly, congrats on your purchase and welcome to xdrivers!
Next, given that you've put down the deposit and - I'm guessing - you really , really like the car, there's not going to be much further leeway on what you've negotiated so far. Deffo worth trying for some extras but I think those are the 'seal the deal' type things to get your signature on the order form. The salesman probably knows he can say he's not 'got much left in the car' and that you're very unlikely to walk away.
Give it a go and let us know how you get on!

Let me know if you get more than 20 mpg, ever, as I need half an excuse to get the petrol X6m next.....
