I ended up trading it and got $41k for it on trade. That was not with the "dealer game" of showing me the difference, etc. That is the price they would have given me if I were selling it to them outright. I took it to Carmax and they offered $40k, so I did OK. It was surprising to see a 2 year old SAV that was MINT and was over $70k new go for such a low price. I have been looking at new x5's and even some used (x5M) and they are getting a premium for them at the stealerships. Rightfully so, I guess, but it just seems like a big gap between what they get for them on the lot but what they will give you on trade.

FWIW, I would definitely try to sell it on your own. I was also trying to move my fully restored '69 Corvette and the highest offer I have had so far was $17k!!!

Best of luck!
