Newbie in Bristol
Posted: Mon Mar 04, 2013 9:15 pm
I used to have a 2007 x3 30D, decided I wanted something different so two years ago bought an Audi A5 sportback. Despite being a nice car, it seemed to lack something. I never enjoyed driving it as much as the X3 or previous BMWs.
So, I started shopping around a few weeks ago looking for a secondhand E70, had been looking on the AUC site and found some, but most of the cars I was interested in seemed to be either 150 -180 miles away.
Two weeks ago popped into Lovetts in Bristol, they had a couple of second hand cars and this unregistered X5:
Started taking to the salesman who mentioned they would be able to do a deal if I bought the car before the end of February.
By the time we had finished the finance rate was down and I had a decent reduction in price meaning it was cheaper to buy the new car than the secondhand ones looked at before.
Picked up the car on the 22nd and have been enjoying it since.
The spec is almost what I would have ordered if I had ordered the car initially:
3.0d SE, sapphire black, black leather, media pack, side-steps, sun protection glass, heated seats, folding and dipping mirrors, internet, 19" non-staggered wheels and extra seats in the boot (probably the one option I wouldn't choose as I will never use them).
Looking a little dirtier now as I've used it to go clay shooting in (the extra ground clearance was another reason to change from the Audi).
Am looking forward to taking it across France and into Spain later in the year.
