Many different things to consider when selling any vehicle..

1) Location-How many "other" X5's are there, or are available in your area? The less there are, the more $$$ you get.

2) How "feasible" are the mods on it? I mean, a 40 year old soccer mom, (who by the way are very popular drivers on X5's) might not give a sh(* about a supercharger, but will pay a million bucks for running boards.

3)and most importantly, APPEARANCE!! The #1 reason cars sell. Impulse. I dont care how well you normally detail your car, but when sellin, it must be in immaculate condition. I would say way more than half of used car sales are a result of first impressions...

having said all that, you ALWAYS want to start high. And be PROUD of the price. Put a sign on the window with HUGE numbers stating the price. Even put up the printed sheet from KBB. The less covert your price, the easier to sell. I never have a car for sale more than 2 weeks before I move it. Basically, if you have a good product, it will sell itself...Lets see a pic!...
