just spoke to the bmw folks, they got no deals 200k++ AED for the 2006 x5 3.0 base model.

so booked a Lexus RX350 instead. it was way cheaper and fully loaded too. the gps was quite funny as it told us we were in the water while driving on the Corrniche!!!

Hahahahahaha, obviously has not taken into account any land reclamation then!

So, is the RX350 equipped with underwater breathing apparatus?

Could have been involved in an accident maybe.

The second side pic shows what looks like a knock on the side door which has been badly repaired (might just be the lens though).

why is this x5 so cheap?? :shock:


Those pictures seem to be from USA. Might even be a flood-damaged car. They look good from outside.

To tell you the truth, I've never come across a reliable used car showroom. Their objective is to buy a car for as cheap as possible and to sell it for as high as possible. So you can imagine some of the cars they might pick up, no matter how good they look on the outside and whatever million-point checks they might claim to have. I say this because I actually found garages in Sharjah whose sole purpose is to fix up abused used cars before they hit showroom floors.

yes i agree, thats why i bought a new suv. i had gone to atleast 10-15 different used car places and most of them seemed like they were hiding something or else the car looked in too good condition for a 2-3yr old car.
