For CPOs you pay a premium up front and that's what makes me reserved about them.
The 2 cars I bought from individuals were in great shape, knock on wood for the X5!
When I sold my Saab to an enthusiast last year, he scrutinized every part of it.
When he took the engine out after he bought it and checked the valves, they were clean like a hospital restroom.
That was because I was changing oil frequently.
Should you find individuals that maintain their vehicles, give them some consideration.
But you're buying a BMW, bucking up a few grand more for a CPO shouldn't be a problem right?
