possible replacement for the CDX
« on: 08 November 2008, 17:58:40 »

Been looking around recently at potential replacments for the CDX, came across this today in a local garage

http://search.autotrader.co.uk/es-uk/www/cars/BMW+5+SERIES/Ne-2-4-5-6-7-8-27-44-49-53-61-64-67-103-133-146-236,N-20-240-4294967178-4294967202/advert.action?R=200843321559032&distance=1&postcode=PL7+2EZ&channel=CARS&make=BMW&model=5+SERIES&min_pr=&max_pr=6000&max_mileage=

the garage have a very good reputation, been to have a look at it and it is fresh in, they have given it a quick wash but not a great deal else

I have a figure in my head for the CDX, just not sure if i should make the jump

Thats a good price, the 5 Series is the serious alternative to the Omega.

I drove a 535 (3.5v8) that shifted! Was a bigger car than i was expecting too.

not that it matters since we use the front seats, but is this the model that lacks rear passenger room or is that the newer one?

The older ones were dreadful for rear seat room

Quite soon to change isn't it?

You have just got the CDX how you want it

Nice car ....but well overpriced in my view....private sale probably £1500 cheaper. :y :y

You have just got the CDX how you want it

in the time i have had the CDX i have put 20K on it, and it goes very well......

But i will be honest i still prefer the Elite, there was something that made that car a nicer car to drive.

If i do change then Diesel does look to be a more cost effective solution, as much as i like messing around with cars i just dont have the time to do another LPG kit

BMW Tractor?  :o I suspect it'll teach you the meaning of "messing around". ;)

I'd say get the value out of the one you've got.
