As we seem to like the blue, I thought I would put mine up.
Must find a way to lose the autochoice (Bristol) in the background. I wouldn't recommend.

No. But not being still wet behind my ears by a long way and having bought numerous cars over the years, I felt OK about using them. If you look at my newbie thread you'll see more info. I think I was lucky as the car was a better spec than they advertised it as. However some things they said they checked clearly didn't work as they should. Pan sunroof was one. I have sorted that. Rear entertainment was another, I've looked at that, not very good home done job, no sound, I will sort that when the weather warms up. A couple of other known X5 probs that I am happy to deal with. I did 160 miles to buy the car and had asked lots of questions on the fone. I was told it had service history, yes it turned out very little, their computer just said "Service History Yes". Of course used that to my advantage. I wouldn't recommend them, but if you know what you are buying as I did, possibly live closer so you can go back and sort any problems you may be alright. I think I have done alright but my advice would be to be very careful. BTW 160 miles was only one way!

Quite a trip then.

I think unless you trust the dealer backup (AUC for example) buying from anywhere can be a bit of a gamble
