That appears to be in great condition. Definitely better than mine and I paid $500 more than his asking. Mine had 40k less miles on it... but that one was probably maintained really well judging from the condition. I'd give it a look if you're still interested in one.

Interesting how the pictures for that vehicle were taken back in September of last year and of course the mileage has changed by over 4k. I wonder if it was up for sale before and did not sell and why? Its definitely clean and really the only thing I would be concerned about at that mileage milestone is the valve stem seals( have they been addressed/fixed or still to come). Check it out see what it brings

I think anyone buying an N62 X5 at this point should assume that it does need valve stem seals. Use it as a negotiating point unless they can prove they had it done. Trust me, anyone who has actually had it done will have the $3000-4000 receipt to show you. VSS would not dissuade me from purchasing an X unless it poured smoke from every stop light and drive through...

Good point on the mileage... I'm guessing it's being driven by the owner during sale.

Yes I agree with you on the VSS. I wouldn't hesitate buying the vehicle because it it may need valve stem seal therapy but its just something others need to be aware of because this is a capital repair for most. At any measure the seller probably has a stack of maintenance invoices judging by the degree of care in the vehicle. If they did have VSS therapy I am sure the seller will want to point this one out thus making the purchase of the vehicle even more attractive.
