Dranged, no offense, but the man expressed an opinion. Isn't this the beauty of this forum? I personally want to hear everybody's comments. I don't have to like them, but everybody has a right to free speech in this country, last time I checked.

Back to your car, although all the mods you mentioned are absolutely great, mods are highly subjective and are not appreciated by 100% of the population. It's like having a pool; it's great fun to have, but good luck trying to sell your house. I know people who have had to have their pools filled with dirt before they were able to sell their house and the same goes with mods. Unless you sell to another mod enthusiast, you are probably going to get book value for your car. This is one reason why most people de-mod and put the car back to its original (or close) state, when they sell. At least they can sell the mods on here or other venues.

Even if you decide to keep the car, unless you have a rider on your insurance that covers the extras, your insurance would only pay book value if, God forbid, your car was a total loss.

Anyway, I always enjoy your posts and am happy to be a part of this little community. Peace.

Markets dictate pricing, and good deals are subjective. Your pool analogy may work in cold climates like Mass. or MN, but the opposite is true in warm climates like AZ...try to sell your house in AZ without a pool. Insurance policies differ state to state and company to company, so your statement regarding add ons is not necessarily fact. This is the WorldWideWeb, so the free country analogy is out the window as well.

Like I said, my car is priced below book and below current market pricing, so I am aslo entitled to my opinion as well, no?

KBB: Private Party - Excellent$30,985 Good$29,385 Fair$27,185 RETAIL: $34,385 Keep in mind, this pricing does not factor in the CPO 100K warranty.

NADA is worthless as it does not differentiate between sport/non-sport. NADA also does not factor in most optional equipment. But according to NADA, my mileage is only a $275 negative factor on my cars price.

Anyway...my point is, uninformed comments regarding pricing on other members FS threads can only cause trouble, case in point. So, people, please keep comments regarding pricing of other members FS thread to yourselves so as not to start WWIII. If you have a concern, PM the FS party or don't buy the item for sale. Otherwise, let the market dictate pricing.

BTW, thanks, I enjoy my posts too.




Vikingshelmut, sorry about the thread jack and again, good luck with finding the right 550i for your particular needs.

No problem DRANGED. I'm still looking, but inventory in the Bay Area is a little skimpy right now.

It's ok Rick, I apologize if my comment was out of line. The problem with commenting on pricing of another members FS item is, it can only serve to anger that individual with the item FS. Instead of commenting, people should let the market dictate pricing. If one thinks the price is too high, simply do not buy the item For Sale. Non sale of an item speaks for itself, without commenting and angering anyone.

Thanks for your understanding. I'm sure the perfect 550 will pop up soon, just be patient and don't rush into buying a car you'll regret down the road.

You are incorrigible. and I was going to add: "You should be hung," but I know that you're going to reply that you are.

Anyway, good luck with the sale. I hope you get what you're asking for. Your car is gorgeous with all those mods and if you find a house in Arizona without a pool let me know because I don't like the chemicals on my pretty skin.

Exactly, I will never buy a car with sport seats again. I am in the market for a 550i. I have seen many 2006 550i for great deals, but the lack of comfort seats is a deal breaker.
