Buying the 2002 BMW X5
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2002 BMW X5 for sale by us right now. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Here is what to know about the 2002 BMW X5 before buying one.
What to check on the X5
A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. There are 4 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.
What the specs mean
The 3.0L 6-cylinder is what moves it, with all-wheel drive. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. With all-wheel drive, it pulls away more surely on slippery roads, though it does not stop any shorter.
For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 44 litres, from its 14.7 L/100 km rating. For 1,000 km, budget about $257.30 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$5,150 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Practical details
The higher seat of an SUV gives a good view of the road in traffic.
Good uses for the X5
It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
Try before you buy
If the X5 is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Rent the X5 first, and buy only if it fits your life. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.
The cost of driving it
Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $25.73 in fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Choosing the right one
Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
