interesting read

i put some feelers out on my x5 the last 2 years. no one serious came and took a look. priced it at 8k, then dropped to 6500. not going lower than that. i will be driving the wheels off of before i sell it for that low, even 8k is too low considering how much time / money i got into this thing.

i'm going on about 7 years of ownership, purchased from original owner at 55k miles for 19k. im up to 172k miles, relatively low maintenance. never left me on the side of the road and i do all of my maintenance myself. only cost of ownership has been parts and purchase price. last time i checked i was into it 37k.. 19k purchase price, 18k in parts, for approx 7 years and 120k miles. roughly about $5k a year to own. still in good shape and not afraid to keep racking up the miles on it.
