2012 X3 Things to Watch Out For...
We have narrowed down our search for a small suv to the X3 and the Mazda CX5 (surprisingly good car imo). Eliminated the x5 (too big and heavy) and Q5 (boring). We are going to be looking at a local 2012 X3 2.8i with 48k miles this afternoon that sounds great other than their asking price (prem, tech, cold weather, prem sound, convenience, sport activity). They are asking $29.5k which sounds a bit high...
Anyway, it generally sounds like the 2012 x3 is decently reliable, but I would appreciate things I should be looking for or worried about on it. Thanks.

Pretty solid vehicle. Same with any vehicle purchase make sure you see the carfax and dealer history. If either has a blemish ask many many questions. Try to find a no accident 1 owner if your budget allows.
Oh and good choice on the X3 over the Q5. Such a better vehicle in my opinion. |
