The maintenance is covered during the lease. The only items not covered are the run-flat tires (if cut) and headlight bulbs (!).

I can change those...

I meant the trade in price ;)

Put on new wheel center caps and lugs nuts. It sort of completes the look since I had the wheels refinished a few months back:thumbup:
Looks better for sure. Now if I could just keep the wheels clean...

Yup, $3K only and we started at $2.4K. KBB trade was about $3.4K, but they did make it up on the other end with student discounts, etc. KBB retail was about $4.6K.

I guess it is a 13 year old car with 140K miles, and that's what they're worth.

Doorspeakers
 

Try to fit a 8" speaker in the front door of my e53
want more mid-bas, trying to fit a modified JBL 2118H in my front door.

Just looked up mine for grins: 2002 E53 3.0, Premium Pkg, Towing Pkg, DVD, Premium Wheels, 283000 miles!!!

KBB private party selling price was $4395 to $4695 range for Fair to Good conditions.

I would have to say you got dinged a bit for your geographic location, because I sure have you beat on the mileage factor.

Added couple of missing plastic interior pieces. The gaps were bothering me so had to buy and cover them up :)

Bump stop for rear hatch was cracked up but still in place, so put an order for Part 51247141879. Small rubber piece 19$ :-|

He sold it to a business that buys and sells cars for a living. They got it as cheap as they could so they can turn around and sell it for double. It makes sense to low ball in that situation, it just doesn't make sense to accept. Shit for 3k I would have bought it and I don't need it.

Completed LH Depo headlight mod!

^Oh how I envy the serviceability of you guys with pre facelift headlights. But I do prefer the look of the LCI's... lol.

Looks good though, nice work.:thumbup:
