Looks nice too.

I spent over a year looking in a 200 mile radius of my home traveling to see EVERY '03 4.4 & 4.6 up for sale. Began feeling like I would NEVER find one I would be willing to own. Was ready to buy a one owner super-clean 4.6is ($24,000 asking price :yikes: ), came across mine and grabbed it, could not rationalize almost double the $ for the 4.6is vs the 4.4.

I have a set of KW Variant3 coilovers to install and was looking at the Brembo Big Brake Kit, I'm doing a brake job next weekend. Had to pass on the BBK because along with the KWs, the upgrades (Over $10k! :yikes:) would exceed the value of my X.

Worn tires and oil leaks are major turnoffs to any buyer. It is very likely a potential buyer will be knowledgable and will look closely for oil leaks. I don't think fixing the leak will have a return on investment but good tires should.

Good chance they are looking for a good daily driver. Your mods are pretty common and not way out there. I don't think they will help the price but I don't think they will hurt either. X is a good color inside an out--that will help.

Sounds like you have a stack of service and repair receipts. If so, prepare a binder with picture on the front and the year, engine and vin number, seldom happens so will help get your price.

I would price at the top of price range. I would advertise it on something like Craigslist and make a point to say needs nothing and have records, assuming you do have records. A great detail job in and out (including clean and shine the engine and engine compartment) will make it look new and smell new-a must. Be sure the floor mats are in great shape.

The buyer will want something off the price so have a walkaway price and walk if it goes below.

A pro-active BMW performed PPI and Carfax would help get top dollar too.

Traded the car in over the weekend - I took $5500 for it

Did you buy another X5?

^He got a Lexus Hybrid
