2000 M5 Carbon/Black - The Unofficial BMW M5 Messageboard (m5board.com)

Model Year : 2000
Mileage : 99500, daily driver
Exterior Color : Carbon Black
Interior Color : Black, luxury interior, wood trim
Options : 100% option car
VIN : WBSDE934XYBZ94140
Price : $22,000 (This is my bottom dollar. If you look around, I feel this price is very reasonable.)

I am a Mercedes-Benz master technician. I have taken very good care of this vehicle. The rear tires are new as of 99k miles. They are Pirelli P Zero Rossos, 285/35/18. The fronts have about 50-60% life left. I have replaced the Mass Air Flow meters. The spark plugs have been replaced with NGK Iridiums. The thrust arm bushings have been replaced with X5 bushings. The crankcase vent hoses have been replaced. The oil cap has been replaced. The oil filter mounting bushings have been replaced. The exhaust mounts located halfway down have been replaced. The center console handle has been replaced. The rear cupholder has been replaced with the updated cubby hole. A new windshield has been installed. The drivers exterior mirror has been replaced.

The outside of the vehicle is in good shape for a car with this many miles. There is one small, small dent in the front right door. You can barely see it, and I only mention it because I don't want any surprises coming up down the road. The front end does have some normal rock chips.

I change the oil regularly with Mobil 1 15-50. Typical oil loss ranges around 1500mi per qt. According to the OBC, I average 18.2mpg.

I am selling the car because I just got married a few weeks ago, and we are looking at taking the money to put down on a house. Please call me at 813-334-9222 with any questions.

Alright, I need some help. Can you guys possible tell me why this car is not selling? Please keep it constructive, but any assistance would be appreciated.

From what I've seen, your price is too high.

While it seems like it is excellent shape mechanically, there are a lot of miles on it and no 2001+ updates.

I recently bought a 2001 with almost the same miles perfect body, one owner, all records for $24K plus, being a 2001 it had the big nav, headlights, tails, etc.

A blue 2000 with less miles recently went for $18K on ebay.

Seems like a nice car and unfortunately people that buy these seem to want to spend the extra money on something a little lower miles or newer.

Pictures might help your efforts.... Good luck.

Well there are some pictures, and if anyone wants anything more specific, please let me know.

As for the price, thank you for your honesty. I don't feel ebay is a completely accurate location to find what a seller should price their car, or item at. This is just my opinion, I'm sure some people will disagree with me, though I am sure some people will agree. Though in response to your pricing statement, I will lower the price to 21,500. I think this is more than fair, especially knowing the condition of the vehicle.

If any one has anymore suggestions, please let me know. Thank you both for your help.
