Well, I sold the X5 this afternoon. The final selling price was $7150. Lower than I wanted, but I think it was fair. It's going to a 16-year-old girl as her first car.

For those of you keeping score at home, if you don't count the $725 I paid for the title transfer and a couple hundred bucks for tools, I cleared about $850. Not a huge profit considering the amount of manual labor involved, but I did go about $2000 over my budget. So I can live with it.

Now, on to the next one…
