AWD, 2008 BMW X5 4.8i

Monaco Blue with Tobacco Nevada Leather


This stunning X5 is looking for a new home.  It was purchased from Rallye BMW in Westbury, NY as a certified pre-owned vehicle spring of 2011 with 26,279 one owner miles on the clock.  Always know you are protected against theft with the LOJACK system installed.  With a $65,820 original sticker price, there is not much you are not getting here....it boasts:

  • Cold weather package
  • Premium package
  • Rear climate package
  • Technology package
  • 18” wheels with all season tires
  • Automatic tailgate operation
  • Comfort seats with lumbar support
  • BMW Teleservices
  • Steering Telservices
  • Rear seat entertainment
  • ipod and USB adapter
  • Satellite radio

Visually this X5 looks great!  The shine on the paint clearly shows it has been regularly waxed and taken care of.  The gorgeous Tobacco Nevada Leather seats are outstanding!  Of course with any car driven in our around the tri-state area for months let alone years, it has its fair share of little minor scuffs/bruises (a few of which are shown in the pictures attached to this listing).  Minor is the key word here.....this X5 shows incredibly well.

Mechanically this X5 is sound.  The power from the monstrous V8 is truly incredible.  The transmission shifts smooth, the tires have plenty of tread, and it just went it (within the last 30 days) for a full service and miscellaneous tweaks.  All service records are available upon request.

Please bid with confidence as my 100% positive feedback clearly speaks for itself.  Please ask all questions prior to bidding as all sales are final.  

This vehicle is being sold in "as is" condition.  This vehicle is being advertised locally and the seller reserves the right to end the auction at any time.

Cars with the worst resale value after 5 years

Tue, Nov 7 2023

While the old saying that cars lose a massive chunk of their value as soon as they’re driven off the dealerÂ’s lot might not be entirely true these days, most new vehicles steadily lose value as they age and are used. iSeeCars recently released its latest study on depreciation, finding the models that lose value the fastest, and the list is packed with high-end nameplates. The vehicles that lost value the fastest over five years include: Maserati Quattroporte: 64.5% depreciation BMW 7 Series: 61.8% Maserati Ghibli: 61.3% BMW 5 Series Hybrid: 58.8% Cadillac Escalade ESV: 58.5% BMW X5: 58.2% Infiniti QX80: 58.1% Maserati Levante: 57.8% Jaguar XF: 57.6% Audi A7: 57.2% While sports cars, hybrids, and trucks dominated the list of slowest-depreciating vehicles, luxury brands accounted for all of the top ten fastest-depreciating models. iSeeCars executive analyst Karl Brauer also pointed out EVsÂ’ lack of representation on the slow-depreciating vehicles list, saying that thereÂ’s a disconnect between what automakers are building and what people actually want. The average five-year depreciation for all vehicles in the iSeeCars study was 38.8 percent. ThatÂ’s an almost 11% improvement over 2019Â’s figures, but some vehicle types perform worse than others. EVs depreciated 49.1 percent over five years, while SUVs dropped 41.2%. Trucks only fell 34.8% and hybrids 37.4%. Brauer noted that all vehicles depreciate slower than they did five years ago. Even so, EVs are not the best choice if youÂ’re looking for a vehicle that wonÂ’t feel like a ripoff when itÂ’s time to trade in. On the flip side, used EVs can present a stellar value, saving thousands over their new counterparts. Charging times and availability remain concerns for buyers in large parts of the country, but a heavily depreciated EV could be the used car value youÂ’ve been looking for. The same wisdom applies to used luxury vehicles, as the list above indicates. While new-car buyers shopping for luxury cars are set to see big depreciation during their ownership, that means the used car market is flooded with inexpensive used luxury cars. High repair costs and costly maintenance schedules are real issues that used luxury models face, however. Green Audi BMW Cadillac Infiniti Jaguar Maserati Car Buying Used Car Buying

Recharge Wrap-up: BMW plans for retired batteries; automakers support dual-standard chargers

Sun, Feb 1 2015

Toyota will test hybrids with silicon-carbide (SiC) power semiconductors. In Japan, Toyota has put the SiC power semiconductors into the power control units of a Camry Hybrid prototype and a fuel cell bus for a year-long test. Research suggests the SiC units will decrease electrical losses while managing power supply, thus improving overall powertrain efficiency. Current power semiconductors account for about 20 percent of electrical losses, and success with these tests could mean more efficient hybrids on the roads in the future. Read more at Hybrid Cars. Automakers from CCS and CHAdeMO camps are supporting dual-standard charging station networks. https://www.autoblog.com/bmw/, Volkswagen (CCS camp) and ChargePoint announced plans to build "express charging corridors" by installing about 100 DC fast chargers, many of which will support both types of charging. Kansas City Power & Light is partnering with Nissan (CHAdeMO camp) and ChargePoint to install DC chargers that "will charge any model of electric vehicle on the market." This leads the folks at Green Car Reports to look into whether this ends the looming standard war between automakers in the US. Read more at Green Car Reports. BMW, Bosch and utility company Vattenfall are making plans for a second life for retired BMW i3 batteries. The Second Life Batteries Alliance project will recycle the old lithium ion battery packs - which can still hold a charge - in off-grid storage and grid-stabilization applications, beginning with a grid storage system in Hamburg, Germany. Bosch has created a battery management algorithm to extend the life of the batteries and make sure they don't cause harm to Vattenfall's facilities. Read more at Transport Evolved.
