!!!UPDATED AD - CAR IS BACK UP FOR SALE WITH 76,xxx MILES AND NEW PRICE!!!
Well after much deliberation I've officially decided to list the car for sale. Those of you who know me know how my cars are up kept.
First and foremost this list price is an invitation to REASONABLE offers. I know what these cars book for I also know you can't find one like this with this mileage and in this condition. I am motivated to sell but I don't HAVE to. Feel free to ask any questions and make offers. I can show the car by appointment anytime. I bought this 4.8iS in NC with 59,000 miles. The car came from someone who had clearly cared for it but must have traded in for something new. I chose this one out of 3 others I was looking at because of its location and mileage. Since its purchase the car has been nothing but great. I do not NEED to sell this but would like to move it in preparation for home ownership. This is likely the most sorted 4.8iS and likely e53 in general currently on the market. I have never skipped a beat with any sort of service or repair and did nothing but tasteful and OEM plus modifications.
The wheels came in a few pounds lighter per a corner over stock. I went a .5 inch wider and run stock tire sizes. The car’s height can be adjusted and if one would really desire it could be converted back to air suspension (I no longer have the stock components). I didn’t cut or destroy anything when replacing my shocks so really you would just need four shocks and compressor as well as some coding to get it going again. The suspension was replaced because I despise the way it rides. This car has FULLY adjustable dampening and is really dialed in to handle well. You wouldn’t believe how much fun it is to drive.
Service history, to the best I kept up with it in a word document, is listed below. I am sure I’m missing quite a bit. Oil was changed with full synthetic every 4 to 4500 miles, detailed every three months, and hand washed weekly.
There is a lien on the car. I am notifying my bank the car is for sale so they should have the title in hand at their DC office. It would take a few business days to clear the lien and hand over the title.
