You missed the part where the original car has 127k miles. Most of yours are way lower, and that’s obviously gonna impact the price.

Check this out:

Found some more examples.

Been on the hunt for a used car over a year now. Got it down to a few models and a budget. No rush here, but yeah, I’m looking at Avalons too … some listings are just ridiculous.

Same here … ended up with an ES300h, saved 3k compared to Avalon, paid 15k.

Price is trash … I just picked up a 2016 with 88k miles for $18,700.

Yep, hybrid limited.

If they hit you with ‘I know what I got,’ then yeah, sounds about right :joy:

Miles don’t matter as much now, honestly.

Mileage still affects value … I looked through over 100 cars and even had to go out of state for mine.

32

So does this mean my 2014 Limited with 160k miles could fetch 15k now? :joy:

33

Paid 2.5k for my ‘07 Solara with 104k miles back in 2022.

34

Got an ‘18 Avalon hybrid with 25k miles for 23k 5 months back … and then a guy pulled out in front of me, totaled now :cry: Can’t believe I’ll find another deal like that.

35

Should be good to get another 127k out of it.

36

For today’s market, that might not be bad at all … it’s a high trim Avalon, plus hybrid. It’s the miles that make it iffy.

My partner’s car died recently, and we’ve been weighing used vs. new options … like did you know the average Corolla drops a buck per 7.35 miles?

The average I checked was a 2019 LE, 51k miles, around 18k.

37

Good car … maybe try to knock off 1-2k?

Not sure it’s worth it at just 1-2k off … I’d aim for around 16.5k total.

Bought my 2007 Avalon with 107k miles for 8.3k … is that a bad deal?

Price feels a bit steep to me.
