Seriously? I could show you dozens of 2000-2003 X5s with under 150K for well under $10K



Touche, says the guy with a problem-free original-drivetrain 260K mile Chevy



If they came from Southeast TN, you're probably clear of rust. But if lived elsewhere, ever, just be sure to check. You can't buy a rust-free 80 within 300 miles of me. They're all really quite rusty.

You haven't seen the horrid leather? Again, lucky to be in a mild climate I guess.
In all fairness, where you live is a different universe in terms of used vehicles more than a couple years old. The freeways are a slushy mix of salt and filth for many months of the year and vehicles are absolutely destroyed by it. There is a massive difference in the value and desirability of used cars and trucks in dry climates. I would never own another rusty vehicle unless it was free.
