That Jeep is a no from me.

YOLO.
Trust Fund baby.
I tried to get a quickie online Carmax quote for the A7; but was notified I'd have to visit my local store as my car was too unique for an online offer.

It returned offers from Carmax(32,400), Carvana(28,811) and Vroom(24,381).
I got nuthin.
There is zero reason for that price. Whether the buyer follows through we may never know.

actually 3 really did. the 3rd high bidder stopped after bidding $61k, which would have also been a record.

I just got the offer from Vroom. $8,000. Seriously low. A 10 year old F150, with 82k miles, was worth more than that before all of the craziness started.

Now. All bets are off. They pre-treat, brine, and salt, salt, salt. If you don't get the car washed a day or 2 later, the salt just sticks to whatever it wants to and starts eating away.

What kills me is that some of the states that salt like crazy will also flunk your old hooptie if it’s got too much surface rust. Vermont is famous for that which is why you see so many YT videos on how to do cheap cosmetic rust repair.

At 14k miles, I’m wondering if I’m gonna need to replace all 4 tires. Come to think of it, if I keep it through the end of the lease, I suppose I’ll have to do that anyway.

OK, I’ve got more info on the 2018 X3 M40i that Son #1 bought from a Benz dealer in Oregon:
I was wrong when I was thinking the price was in the mid 30’s. I finally had to ask and the price was $38,300. The mileage when it was delivered off the truck was just under 28,400 miles. That doesn’t sound bad to me for a cream puff. When he saw essentially the same car at a local used car dealer here in the Burgh area that specializes in higher end used cars that guy wanted $42,600 for his and it had 52,300 miles. That’s what sent my son off to the internet to find equivalents. I think I mentioned the the shipping cost was a tick over 1100 bucks (broker and driver) and I was right about that. So, all in he’s a good bit better off than the local guy.
He’s already done the oil and filter change himself. He kept some of the oil to send off for an oil analysis. He did a plug change too with BMW approved plugs which I thought was an over kill. He found out via YouTube videos that you have to used a thin wall spark plug socket to get the plugs out because a standard 5/8 inch spark plug socket won’t work. Just something that BMW and probably other German manufacturers do to discourage tinkering. He knows he’s going to be adding to his already well equipped tool box with special tools to work on his new used car but that doesn’t bother him at all.
A surprising thing he found when he pulled the plugs. They were not BMW plugs, they were run of the mill Champion plugs speced for his BMW. So, either the original owner changed them himself or an indie shop did that because a BMW dealer surely wouldn’t have done that. My son said the Champions showed almost no wear but since he had already bought BMW plugs he put them in.
He said the car ran great right off the truck, not a thing wrong with how it ran. He even tried the launch feature too and of course liked that.
All things considered he’s not the least bit sorry he went to the other side of the world to get it. That is something I would never even think of doing.

He could have been driving through Peasantville when that happened.
Years ago at night in a pouring rain, when I had my ‘09 Genny, I hit a deep pot hole filled with water (couldn’t even see it because of that) so hard that the rear view mirror shifted. I thought for sure I’d be pulling over with a flat tire but fortunately the tire was fine and the rim wasn’t damaged either. Still trying to figure that one out.

What is the color combo?

I hit a pothole in wife’s Q7 and put a nice bump on the sidewall so got a new tire too. I’m a fan of an Allstate wheel and tire pkg that I bought for $750. It has paid for all four tires to be replaced and cosmetic repairs on two wheels and I have 3 plus more years of coverage to go…
I don’t know the official name of the color but it’s one of those popular bright medium blue jobs. That color and the 6 cylinder was what he had to have. He wasn’t interested in any other color/engine combo.
EDIT: black interior.

carcab, 8 ft bed. Those are in high demand by people who actually use the truck for work. It has the V8, automatic, cold A/C, keyless entry, power mirrors, low miles (82k), and a few other niceties. I will have no trouble selling it when the time comes, it looks good and runs perfectly. I was just using the online car buying services to gauge the current used car market. This truck, on Carvana, started at $13.2 in May of 2021, peaked at a little over $15k, and is now down to $10.9.Vroom is just an outlier, for some reason. No idea why.
1) Who would change plugs on a car with 28K miles?
2) Evidently, your son.
I doubt the vehicle needed either plugs or an oil change. It has a condition based service reminder that automatically calls for an oil change after 1 year. So, it's likely been changed four or five times, already, in 28K miles.

On the plugs, probably not. 28k miles is really low for changing spark plugs on a modern car. Most but not all cars now specify 100k miles on the spark plugs. Anyone know the recommended interval for that particular car?

In defense of my son, the car now has BMW plugs. The better question is who would have changed the plugs to Champions before 28K miles? If nothing else that car has not been ignored concerning oil/filter changes or plugs so far.
FWIW, my son spoke with 3 indie shops before he bought it. Two local and the indie shop in Oregon that did the PPI and all of them recommended doing oil/filter changes around 7.5K miles vs. the BMW suggested interval of 10K miles.
Anyone in here want his 7500 mile drain oil next January? I could arrange that for a poster buddy.

My son said the plugs showed almost no wear. That being the case, I doubt they would have looked that good with 28K miles on them. Still a head scratcher.

And according to FCP Euro, the OEM plugs were made by either Beru or Champion.

I can’t imagine my son went to a dealer or online for an OEM $50 BMW spark plug socket. I think I taught him better than that.

People who use vehicles for the purpose for which they were (ostensibly) designed -- what a concept.
It's a given that the minivan is the most practical and useful vehicle known to (suburban) man, and yet. . .
