High mileage will always be a drawback. In a bad economy, it's going to be even more of a negative factor. The gas mileage that these cars get is also not a plus in your favor. If you really want to sell the car, you're probably going to have to settle for less than you really want for it. I recently sold a BMW 740 IL with 225,000 miles. It was in excellent shape and was always well maintained. But, I ended up selling it for less than I wanted. After getting low ball after low ball offer, I finally sold it to the buyer who was closest to what I wanted. Good luck. But, be prepared to take less.
