It's not worth the risk, hassle nor is it lucrative to do so. Sorry.
Asking Price is $45,000 now.

I see you bumping this over and over. Please take a minute to reconsider your approach. This is food for thought and in no way aimed to offend. Your car's NADA price is around $36K which is the source most banks will use to value the terms of the finance agreement. Some banks will allow up to 110% loan amount. Rendering your mod's useless in the transaction at 9K over assessed value. That is why you are getting so many requests to part out. If you go back to stock a "low" mile M5 is a low risk transaction for banks.
My recommendation is to remove the mods, go back to stock and sell it to Carmax.
Hope this helps... GLWS! |
I appreciate the feedback and I'll keep that in consideration.
That said, I purchased this car for $55k, 2 years ago and have since put a few thousand more into upgrades on it. I purchased the car modified as I didn't want to mess with doing it myself. If you want a clean, reliable, low mileage, great condition, zero issue, heavily optioned and tastefully modded F10 M5 without them hassle (as I did) then someone will purchase it like this. Plus I do not have the stock parts, otherwise that might have been an option. That said I'm not sure swapping the intakes out is a good idea anyhow. Also, not everyone purchasing cars requires financing.
Again, I truly do appreciate the input and I'll keep all of this in mind. I've dropped the price significantly and I feel this is a good price. Hopefully the economy turns around and I move this. I need the space.
