Seeking advice - 2016 x3 xDrive35i with odometer issue (minor or not?)
I’m in the market for a used 2016 x3 xDrive35i. I found one that checks all the boxes for me (has M sport package), but it has an odometer discrepancy on its latest Carfax report of about 1.7k miles, this is something I'm trying to get the owner to resolve with Carfax. I live on the west coast and was wondering if these are hard to come by and what a fair price would be for one with around 55k-65k miles? Any thoughts on the odd discrepancy? It could have been a mechanic with fat fingers...

Welcome to the forum.
I would not be concerned with such a small discrepancy in miles reported, really 1.7k miles Options on the vehicle can vary the value and you only list M sport. Look on the various classified car web sites for similar vehicles to estimate the value. |

Thank you, much appreciate the welcome
I guess my concern is if I were to sell the car in 3 years, it would be a conversation I'd have to have with the potential buyer seeing the odometer record not being consistent for the those two record recordings. |

Carfax is only as accurate as the people entering the information. Often mistakes are made.

I wouldn't worry about it. No one who's interested in the vehicle for a future sale is going to be scared off by that obvious error in reporting for the vehicle.

The ODO info is stored in a few different locations to prevent it from being rolled back. Shows up as the red dot beside the ODO

I didn't know that. In some older cars, if there was an issue with the cluster, it was easy to replace it with a working one. These computers know everything. Thanks.
