Question 1

Was $7,400 a good price for this 2011 BMW X5?

Accepted Answer

21 comparable 2011 BMW X5 listings sold at auction for a median of $5,000, spanning $4,050 to $6,600. At $7,400 this one went 48% above that median. Auction prices reflect as-is condition, so the gap usually comes down to damage severity, mileage and whether the car runs.

Question 2

How much below its undamaged value did this BMW X5 sell for?

Accepted Answer

The insurer put this 2011 BMW X5's pre-damage retail value at $26,870. It sold for $7,400 — 72% below that. A gap this size is normal for auction vehicles: the buyer takes on the repair cost, the paperwork and the risk that damage is worse than the photos show.

Question 3

What does a bos - salvage mean for this BMW X5?

Accepted Answer

This 2011 BMW X5 was sold on a bos - salvage. A salvage title means an insurer declared the vehicle a total loss. Repairing it and passing a state inspection can convert it to a rebuilt title, which stays on the record permanently and affects resale value.

Question 4

Is 149,869 miles high for a 2011 BMW X5?

Accepted Answer

Comparable 2011 BMW X5 listings at auction averaged 140,873 miles across 21 sales, so at 149,869 miles this one sits 6% above that. At salvage auctions mileage moves the price far less than damage does — a low-mileage car with structural damage will still sell under a higher-mileage clean one.

Question 5

This BMW X5 has front end and undercarriage damage — how does that affect it?

Accepted Answer

Damage recorded in two areas usually points to a heavier impact than either label suggests on its own, and it raises the odds of structural damage behind the panels. The auction records the primary and secondary areas only; it does not assess the frame. Photographs and, where available, a physical inspection are the only way to judge how far it goes.

Question 6

What does "RUNS AND DRIVES" mean on this listing?

Accepted Answer

RUNS AND DRIVES is the auction's own condition note for this 2011 BMW X5. It means the vehicle started and moved under its own power during a brief check at the yard. It is not a mechanical inspection and says nothing about how far it would drive. Anything beyond that has to come from the photos and a physical inspection.
