Price check please: 2004 X5 3.0 manual 6 speed

Hello all, my wife has owned her 2005 X5 since 2009. It's time to move on as she no longer needs a larger car and is interested in a Porsche 911.

A few details:

2004 X5 3.0
6 speed manual transmission
Kalahari Beige Metallic
Black interior
175,500 miles

I know manual's are hard to find. My wife's last X5 was a 2002 manual 5 speed. I had to travel 1,200 miles to buy it. It was totaled when someone pulled out in front of her. We had quite a few of the common early X5 issues with that one - rear suspension bushings, multiple window regulators, etc. Her current X5 has been bulletproof. Almost no issues at all. I recently changed the oil filter housing gasket and valve cover gasket. I rebuilt the VANOS last year. CV boot replaced a few years ago. Religious oil changes every 6,000 miles with Mobil1.

Being a manual transmission it is nicely equipped:

Panoramic sunroof
heated front seats
heated steering wheel
rear window side blinds (I believe these were an option?)
Kenwood double din stereo with custom made bezel (VERY nicely done)

Oddly, it does not have HID headlights.

Paint is in very nice shape. No peeling, no dents. There is one scuff on the front left corner of the bumper. It was there when we bought it.

Interior is a 9.5. The seats are perfect - no signs of wear at all. The carpet, etc is perfect. Never been smoked in, no kids. Weathertech hard floor mats front, rear and trunk. Even the wood trim is in excellent shape. Only one small crack in the passenger's door wood trim.

Always garaged.

SO - Overall a very nice, very well cared for and well equipped 2004 X5 6 speed but, with 175,500 miles.

I'll try to get pic's of the car posted.

I have absolutely no idea where to price this? I'll likely put it on Ebay (and the classifieds here).

Pricing suggestions appreciated thanks.
