Preparing for sale 2006 4.8is
 

It is time to move on from the 4.8is. I was recently leaving a stop sign and experienced a bang with severe transmission slipping. I have not investigated, only towed home and left it. Not sure what to list it for, will be as is and needs shipping. Here is my maintenance since owning.

I had considered parting it, but I am ready for a break from the e53. So, time to unload it...maybe eBay? I would likely list buy it now or best offer. Ideas on starting price? It is in good shape for 12 years. Two doors have a spot of rust on the bottom pinch welds. That is the only rust. Standard door dings for a 2006 car. Any thoughts?

Is $5k or best offer a good starting point?

You took care of well known expensive issues and have new front and rear suspension. So you only need tranny.
If you have receipts for all of your work, why not do a good detail and take some good quality pictures.
Then, wherever you advertise, somebody may realize that with new (rebuilt) tranny, they'd have a very nicely sorted out E53.
That's what I'd try to do first.

I’m liking those wheels. Just sayin’

Will post eBay link when it goes up at the end of November
