I just purchased this week a 2015 Sdrive35 MSport , carbon black with mocha interior, has every thing included. Original sticker was $75k, lighting package, rear sunshade, plus a lot more which I'll post a pic of. Has 31k miles and certified. I have a little under 4 years left on the warranty. They wanted $44,500 I ended up getting them to drop down to $41,500. I think I did pretty well

In a similar boat here. Looking at a 2015 xdrive3.5i about 500 miles away. Listed for about $46,500 as a CPO. Thinking of offering $41,500 and if they can’t make those numbers work, continue waiting until I find one closer to $40k.
Question: if purchasing a used x5 that has 2 years left on warranty, would you still get a Pre purchase inspection before flying to purchase? Or is the CPO PPI good enough? Thanks! |

Most folks are honest and there are really good deals out there these days, especially on X5s now that the new model is coming out. |

Yes, they're covered, but do you want to go through the hassle? Not saying all CPOs are bad, nor that all individuals are honest. But for CPOs, you pay a premium in advance, in case something happens. I prefer to pay once something happens. This is BMW, you should accept, and be able to pay, the high cost of repair. That's just my opinion. |

If you check the car's history, including carfax and maintenance records, there's nothing better than a CPO. Do you pay a premium? Yes, but well worth it. |

But, from my experiencie, trying to find a quality individual who takes care of his/"her car is preferable to paying a premium for the same car in advance. Now, if that approach does not make sense to you, it's OK; it does for me! |

Have you personally had a BMW CPO and had issues? If not, I'm not sure you have much ground to stand on. I had a 2012 E46 M3 with CPO purchased from a private party. Had no issues with having the CPO warranty transferred to me and having any issues fixed, while I got to drive around a nice new loaner. Only reason I purchased it private party is because of the CPO. I also didn't pay any premium for it since the guy I bought it from ate that cost. Also, just because it's a BMW you should accept high cost of repairs? Why? This is totally fail logic.

But, at some point, I knew that if I wanted to keep car longer, I'd have to realize the cost of maintenance myself. After 328xi lease, and due to longer trips, I could no longer afford to lease. So I looked to buy one. Long list of opportunities obviously. Never ruled out CPOs, just found it pointless to pay premium up front, before any problems occur. Also realized that there are "semi desperate" individuals out there who need to unload their vehicle for one reason or another. It worked twice for so I highly recommend it. You can also see in our ad section As for loaner, insurance can provide one in case of a mechanical breakdown. |

You may score a nice one from a private sale, but chances are very low - no one is selling a good car in the first 2-3 years, as it means eating up ~50% of depreciation. Obviously, there are exceptions, but usually such cars are traded in. As for auction & dealers, again, based on my recent experiences, BMW keeps the top of the crop for themselves and sells as CPOs; next tier is sold thru their wholesale channel. The bottom ones are sent to auctions and end up on 3rd party dealer lots. |

As for "engineers", I had to assume that BMW does some sort of further research in order to warranty vehicles. |

I got mine in the mid $30s because of higher miles and the fact it is in the northeast. |
