Today, Tuesday, I had a lowballing dealer waste my time with a ridiculous attempt to buy this car for an absurd price. I am tired of the lowballing idiots or the scammers infesting Craigslist. SO FOR THE REST OF THIS WEEK I WILL SELL THE CAR TO THE FIRST PERSON TO SHOW UP WITH JUST $9300. The upgrades are worth over $7000. IF NOT SOLD BY SATURDAY, I LEAVE FOR AN EXTENDED CRUISE AND THE X5 GETS SHIPPED TO CHICAGO. MY SON CAN SELL IT THERE THIS IS THE NO-BRAINER OF THE DECADE. THIS AD IS LONGER THAN MOST BUT AT LEAST I DON'T HIDE ANYTHING, I WANT TO BE THE MOST HONEST SELLER ON EBAY SO I WILL SAY DON'T JUST BELIEVE ANYTHING I SAY ABOUT THE VALUE OF THIS BMW X5. INSTEAD, PUT YOUR FAITH INTO CAR FAX, OR KELLY BLUE BOOK. THEY SAY THIS BMW SHOULD SELL FOR OVER $11,000. AND THAT DOES NOT, IT DOES NOT INCLUDE THE $7,000 IN OPTIONS! PLEASE GO ONLINE AND ENTER IN ALL THE OPTIONS, MILEAGE, CONDITION AND OTHER FACTS I DETAIL HERE AND SEE FOR YOURSELF. The motor is smooth, no smoking, no lack of the performance expected from a BMW. The automatic transmission shifts without any hesitation. On the road at any speed...from 35 to 95 on the open California roads the car tracks straight and true. The leather interior is in very good condition except for some minor color loss on driver seat. No rips or tears or cracking, just some light color loss. I have looked at cars on dealer lots selling for the full value of $16,000 that were not really any better. Needless-to-say, there is no rust issues with this car. Furthermore, the paint has a great shine to it and there is none of the all too common California sun bleaching of the paint either. This is simply a great looking and very good running BMW X5. It is not "perfect" as those cars do exist but sell for $15,000 and more. The rear view camera tied into the in-dash DVD playing head unit is not coming through. In addition to the extensive list of BMW luxury appointments the car has authentic BMW 20" 7spoke alloys and Xl/speed rated tires. They are 275x40x20 in front and 345x35x20 in the rear. About 70-75% tread left too. The cost for these was over $4000! YOU WILL ALSO GET the quite pricey BMW upgraded running boards which make any X5 look better and are functional to have. YOU WILL ALSO ENJOY the top-of-line Pioneer DVD in dash audio/video system with dual high power amps expertly installed out of sight in the side panels and twin 10"subs in a custom enclosure. Minimum space is lost in order to gain a video and sound system vastly superior to a stock setup. These upgrades cost over $7000. This car has current California registration and smog. I need to point out however that it has a California salvage title. BUT BEFORE ANYONE PANICS THEY SHOULD KNOW WHAT THAT SCARY SOUNDING SALVAGE TITLE REALLY MEANS. BEFORE YOU PANIC LEARN THE FACTS. Four years ago and 35,000 miles back this car was damaged. The insurance company chose to replace it/write it off and sell the car to a rebuilder. THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. BUT KEEP IN MIND THAT BEFORE THESE DAMAGED CARS CAN BE GIVEN A SALVAGE TITLE, WITHOUT WHICH IT CANNOT BE SOLD TO ANYONE, THEY MUST BE INSPECTED BY THE STATE. THE FACTS ARE THAT THIS CAR HAS PASSED NUMEROUS STATE SAFETY INSPECTIONS AND PASSED SMOG INSPECTIONS RIGHT UP TO NOW WHERE THE REGISTRATION AND SMOG ARE CURRENT. Furthermore, since all all panels, doors, windows, etc, etc, are aligned so nicely, and there are no rattles or squeaks, and the body and paint look so good, the quality of whatever repairs it needed were no doubt, had to be, done by very skilled technicians. Salvage titled cars can be disappointments. NOT because the steering wheels fall off or the motors fall from the frames. The problems with salvage titles lies with the quality and dedication of those people putting on the fenders and such. IF FIXED WELL, THERE IS NO REASON WHY A "SALVAGE TITLED" CAR IS ANY LESS WORTHY THAN ANY OTHER CAR. In fact, many a car, damaged pretty bad...but just under the monetary threshold insurance companies use to classify a car as repairable or not worth bothering with,(which begets a salvage title scenario) retain "Clear title" but are LESS roadworthy than a STATE INSPECTED SALVAGE TITLED CAR. Thus, a Salvage title does not mean you need to panic. ALL THIS FINE INFORMATION IS RIGHT OFF THE INTERNET SO DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH. THE BOTTOM LINE IS I AM GOING TO SELL THIS CAR FOR $1500 UNDER WHAT CAR FAX SUGGESTS AND THROW IN AS A GIFT, THE $7000 IN UPGRADES MAKING THIS AN ABSOLUTE NO-BRAINER. BY THEIR RECKONING THIS IS ABOUT AN $18,000 PACKAGE. THINK ABOUT IT!! THE GENUINE BMW 20" ALLOYS...THE UPGRADED BMW RUNNING BOARDS AND THE VERY NICE PIONEER DVD INDASH AUDIO/VIDEO WITH DUAL AMPS AND TWIN SUBS ARE WITHOUT QUESTION $7000. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET THE DEAL OF A LIFETIME. I DON'T WANT DEPOSITS. IF YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO COME TO MISSION BAY, SAN DIEGO CA, TO SEE IT THEN DON'T RESPOND. FURTHERMORE, I WILL NOT RESPOND TO ANY BUYER WHO DOES NOT INCLUDE A VALID, WORKING PHONE NUMBER. Or call me 630-664-6676 IF NOT SOLD BY SATURDAY, JULY 6, THE AD IS CANCELLED AND THE CAR GET SHIPPED TO CHICAGO. A RUST FREE CALIFORNIA CAR, LIKE THIS VERY NICELY UPGRADED BMW IS WORTH A LOT MORE THERE. Shipping the car is just $700. Rusted X5s without all my upgrades sell for $13,000 and up. CHECK OUT THE CHICAGO ADS AND THEN SEE IF YOU CAN FIND A BETTER VALUE ANYWHERE IN CALIFORNIA. YOU HAVE LESS THAN 5 DAYS TO MOVE ON THIS SAN DIEGO! AFTER SATURDAY THIS IS GONE. YOU CANNOT FIND A BETTER DEAL. I HAVE CHECKED OUT ALL THE SITES YOU LOOK AT. THIS IS NOT PERFECT, BUT WITH ALL ITS IMPERFECTIONS IT IS THE DEAL OF A LIFETIME.
