Ya sure this guy only has 10,000 miles on his 2007 x5...

Yeah, I should have never asked! They're email replies were "blah blah out of state blah blah google checkout blah". Total BS.

I have 23k on my 2004 (Nov 03 delivery). There was a recent thread on some E53s with almost no mileage on them that a collector was selling. The price would be one thing that gives away a scam...

I'm torn... on one hand I want to say "wow that's really cool that you've preserved your vehicle so well". On the other hand I feel bad that you've missed all that ultimate driving.

^ I have 13k after 3 years myself. Just not a lot of opportunity to get on highways, plus I work from home everyday. I'll tell you though that I still get excited every time I get in there, which is still at least once a day.

Haigha, have you had any mechanical issues with the vehicle so far? I assume you never got the extended warranty either? Trying to see if mechanical wear/malfunction is really more a mileage factor than age.

More than half my 23k is on the highway on long trips. That's where the 4.4 shines. OTOH, there are a lot of short trips to my golf club (1/2 mile each way).

No extended warranty.

So far nothing major has gone wrong mechanically. I did replace the final stage resistor this year and recharge the air conditioner with R132a. That's the biggest thing so far (she will be 7 in the fall). Fortunately, no window regulators, air ride, suspension boots or other serious problems so far

I just bought an 07 with 23k on it. Looks and feels brand new. We also just bought an 08 5 series with 13k on it. They certainly exist out there, but I will tell you, each of those vehicles were certainly more than $25k.

To be honest, I am wondering if they want you to pay $25k and take over payments...
