Then even more surprised at the poor discounting, after ringing round for 2 days 3500 seemed to be as good as it would get for anyone with a slot this side of September 2015 delivery!
Forget that!
I was hoping that someone had one in stock ready to go!! 
I did a search for anything under 2 years old with the above options and out of a grand total of 300+ approved used X3's 6 had those options. Amazed at how many don't have xenons for a start.
Only 2 were 20d's and only one of those was an SE with sport seats, and that was a 13 plate at 37,000.
So I decided to keep my ML a little longer and bought some new wheels and tyres for it to freshen it up.
The day after the wheels went on a really nicely specced X3 came up, Jan 13, all the toys and more, and 10,000 cheaper than the other one on there. I called up and gave a deposit last Monday morning, 10 minutes after they had listed it, not even got any photos up.
Collecting today.
I decided to run this for a year and then swap for a nearly new LCI. |
Congrats on your new car
The LCI is very popular .. For good reason and will hopefully be a good place to put your money
As for discounts .. Why would they ? After all they can't get them and can sell everyone they do get several times over
