My old ebay ad:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/324297507493

I understand that car is worth what someone is willing to pay but cargurus really pissed me off.
When I did the ad they showed market value unavaliable and that made sense as there is very few 4.6is for sale or sold.
Now out of nowhere they showed my X5 is worth $5k. If I wanted that I'd just go to carmax.
It looks like I might be keeping it after all. My advantage is I don't have to sell it and I sure as hell won't let it go for nothing after 6 years of taking the good care of this beauty.

I think their algorithm is that smart and just takes into account of all X5 in that year/mileage and just average it out.

Do Carmax still buy e53s?

That is the main reason why I am still hanging onto the old X5, even when it's hardly used anymore - mainly as my "backup" or poor weather car. The car is certainly worth a lot more to me than anyone is willing to pay for it! Other than the oil sensor, there's not a single other fault on the car!
