Larry, That sounds about right. I have about 8k in my recently acquired 30D 2.5 t. Low miles, southern car, mint body & interior, two owners, etc. Some of these have been going for 10K recently on e-bay. I think you'll love driving it. BTW-what color is it? Is it white? Many of these seem to be.

Bought it from a wholesaler who had this car for 44 days - I'm told they like to move their cars more often than that - I think he was dealing because he'd had it for a while. I'm in love with this car and only like it more and more - I haven't found any significant problems except for an intermittant cold starting problem (happened 2 times in 3 weeks) which I contribute to a lack of being driven regularily. Since filling with fresh fuel the problem seems to be gone (knock wood). The seller put 1/4 tank in before I picked it up and I'm not aware of any stations in his area that gets a lot of diesel traffic - so the fuel may have been 'off'.
