Need Help

I'm thinking about buying a 2005 x5 and want to know if I should. I actually live about 200 miles away from the closest dealership and I just want to know if I have trouble or just oil changing/maintenance, would it be worth it. Or could the service guys here (Meineke) do it for me?

Help before January!

Thanks
Dani

Well to change your oil on the X5 your need a 17mm socket for the drain plug and a 36mm socket for the oil filter cap. If you dont have eather one of those then Jiffy lube looks like the place for you.

So then I wouldn't drive 200 miles to the dealership when I need my car serviced (oil change)?
That's one thing I'm worried about, and I talked to a guy and he told me that it would cost me $900 to have it serviced. Is it true?

For an inspection 2 is would cost that much.

Inspection 2's consist of oil, filters (cabin,air,oil and gas) overall car inspection and wipers.

A oil service is about 200-400$ What you would want is an inspection 1. Inspections 2's go every 60k I believe.
