I'd see if they can go down a bit. Maybe around $20-22k. Try to see if they will take care of the ticking sound before you purchase. Also I've noticed that it has the 214 style wheels but no fender flares which looks a little weird in my opinion (something else you can bring up to them).

did not notice the fender flare missing. also wonder if there is a wheel spacer in the front.

My 2 cents. I have bought 2 X5's used and here is a bit of advice. Seeing you live in Lancaster PA, I am aware of the rust and the corrosion damage on a used car as I live in Buffalo, NY. So if you're going to buy used, I would suggest buying from someone in the south in order to avoid the damage that has been done over the last 7 years from the winters and road salt etc... I bought my first in Atlanta, GA and recently my 2nd in Scottsdale, AZ. Make sure to get the history on the car since dealers from the South often buy from auctions and that car could have been a Northern car to begin with. My buddy bought a 2009 X5 brand new here in Buffalo and I bought a used 2007 X5 from AZ and he has had brake lines rot and numerous wire connectors corrode. I have had only one wire connection go bad. Plus my paint and trim still looks better than his. I drove my car from Scottsdale to Buffalo but shipping would have only been $1000. Just my 2 cents.
