BMW Used Car Deals Advice

Hi Guys,

A friend of mine is looking to purchase an X5 3.0d aged around 12-24 months old.

Are there any Dealers on here or people in the know who can offer/advise on a best deal?

I can remember a year or so ago there were quite a few BMW related peeps who were offering good deals on used M3's etc......so any help would be warmly appreciated. He already owns a black E92 M3 so wants the X5 for the family duties

Regs
Jules.

I would say, the initial steps are to:
- identify what spec he needs/wants - colour/alloys/toys
- decide how he wishes to pay - cash/pcp/hp
- search the BMW AUC site for the X5s that tick all the boxes
- get on the phone to the dealers and start asking for their best deal based on the payment criteria your friend gives them.
- once you have a few figures, start playing one dealer against the next to get the best and most acceptable deal.

He could potentially get a cheaper deal by going away from the main dealer network, if this is what is needed start searching autotrader.

Simples...

Thanks for that, but I pretty much follow that routine already.

There have been some BMW related / employees on here who have been available to offer advice and offer some good deals on new and used BMW's, I was hoping that if this was still the case then someone could point me in the right direction.

Thanks
Jules.

Why don't you PM Anneka(@Sytner) and ask her?
