The right buyer will come along with a fair offer I suspect.


No, they'll be scared away when they get on the site and read all of the potential problems that lie ahead...lol!:rofl:

:iagree: I always detail any vehicle I sell until it looks and smells like it is new and have the receipts available.

It depends on the buyer if I offer the receipts. Most buyers assume the cosmetic condition parallels the mechanical condition. Receipts are a big help for those that have done their research, start talking about another BMW they have owned or start looking at things like tire wear, oil leaks, etc.

Well, I sold the X5 this afternoon. The final selling price was $7150. Lower than I wanted, but I think it was fair. It's going to a 16-year-old girl as her first car.

For those of you keeping score at home, if you don't count the $725 I paid for the title transfer and a couple hundred bucks for tools, I cleared about $850. Not a huge profit considering the amount of manual labor involved, but I did go about $2000 over my budget. So I can live with it.

Now, on to the next one…

That's a fair price. What next?

BimmerM3inGA 03-08-2014 07:52 PM

I think so, too.

No idea what's next. I'm trolling now to see what's out there.

BimmerM3inGA 03-17-2014 10:42 PM

The X5 has been gone for a little over a week and I am having a severe case of seller's remorse! I just caught myself looking at the pictures again. I never thought I could get so attached to a truck. But there it is!

I need to find a new project quick. :)

Get yourself an "iS" and keep it this time ;)

Hoping you will post your next buy to resell project.

Got my eye out, looking for manual E53s, your perfect next project!
