Used 2014 BMW X5 for sale near Santa Ana, CA

I purchased a used vehicle and the transaction went really well. It was a speedy operation. Everything was completed the same day and the dealer was very courteous.

This 4000 lb beast maneuvers like a sports car. As someone who's always been passionate about cars, I leaned towards vehicles like the 3 series coupe or Audi A5. However, when the need for family space arose, SUVs felt dull. Then I got behind the wheel of the X5. It's a revelation—you truly don't have to compromise. There's ample space, exceptional handling, and a range of engines from powerful to downright exhilarating (like the X5M).

After a horrible experience shopping for a BMW M760i remotely from Car Connection in Georgia, I had the exact opposite dealing with David Leon at CJ Auto Group. I have bought cars from out-of state 4 times previously. I know how this process should go. First things first. An independent dealer friend of mine taught me: if you see a trade-in at a major dealer (Ford, Audi, Mercedes, BMW, etc) and they want to sell it themselves? THAT car is a creampuff. They only keep the ones that require no work, and can turn around with no issues. The ones that look worn, or have issues, they auction off to smaller independent dealers like his dealership. Only occasionally do they auction off a trade-in that is a winner. In the case of the independent dealers, sometimes you get some good ones at auction. Sometimes you don't. Georgia's, Car Connection's M760i was one of the unfortunate buys. And they gave me a bunch of crap when I told them I was not interested anymore. CJ Auto Group is just such an independent dealer and they have to be more careful when buying cars at auction. In the case of the lovely 12k mile 2018 BMW M760i I bought from them, they had scored a winner! The interior was basically perfect. Since the all-Merino-leather interior was an almost-white beige, I was worried before I got there even thought I had pictures from David of items I asked him to shoot for me, but...it looks flawless in person. David was smooth, easy to work with and no-pressure the whole time. He accommodated my request for a walk-around video and then, some additional pictures, a week before I expressed real interest. I had an old friend of a friend inspect it the day before I came, to ensure it did not smell like smoke (always ask your inspector if THEY smoke, or they cannot help you) and how the car looked, generally. He was an old enough guy he had no idea how to take pics and send them over email, but I trusted my source, and CJ allowed him to do his job. Once I drove the 6 hours it took for me to get there, the car was ready, freshly washed and looking fantastic. After all the research I had done, weeks of asking for pictures and follow ups from 3 dealers, once I saw it in person, I knew I was buying it before I even test-drove it. I just wanted David to explain some of the car's tech to me. I would consider CJ again, if I wanted them to look for something special for me at auction, that I don't have access to. And if it happens to be in stock already, of course I would buy from them again!

I love this car so much! As a traveling doctor, this vehicle has safely climb passes cover in snow and ice, held steady on black ice, muscled through torrential downpour rain and never faultered. Between the traction control, quick response, no accidents. And when its dry road, it handles like a sports car. All the while I am surrounded with an amazing audio system.
