I'd like to hear his response.
I know it was brought up earlier, but the false miles is just not sitting well with me. It's like third world shit. I should call and have a chat, but what good would that do? Nothing. Or maybe I could get them to change their add?

We are not the target buyer for this vehicle. This seller is targeting the "I want a BMW / X5 buyer" who cannot afford a "nicer" one. That's an ironic statement given the asking price of the vehicle...the price seems to be inline with "nicer" ones. Which means it's likely out of reach for the target buyer and probably the reason it hasn't sold yet.
Whoever buys this vehicle most likely isn't going to care about these things. They're going to see it as a vehicle they'd like to drive. The fact the mileage is incorrect most likely won't matter (I know here in Colorado I don't even think you need to do a mileage disclosure once a vehicle is over 10 years old).
Is the dealer being dishonest...I think so given there are a number of indicators that the mileage is in error (there's a huge red flag on the Carfax screaming out at you to this effect). Hopefully whoever buys this at least reviews the Carfax so they'll see it). But there are potential buyers who genuinely do not care. That's the target buyer for this vehicle.
