    Come on, you vicarious car shoppers... if money is a little tight, the answer between these two is obviously the Avalon. If it's ALL about the money, the answer is a stick shift Rio, but today's topic is a comfortable highway machine to do a lot of miles.
    The 'high' miles are a red herring; we're value shopping here. In my experience, having > 100k miles is still a ding to a car's value, even in 2020, so if the car has been maintained, that's a chance for real value. So should one pay $11k + 500 + tax for it? That seems pretty dear to me, esp. in salty Massachusetts. Were I shopping in that range, I'd think about sourcing one from, say, the Carolinas. Cars in snowy climates age in dog years. I may have just answered the $11,000 question. I'd try to chisel that down into the $9s... will it run another 100k? Will it run another ten years? Without big repair bills? If the answer is yes, than $10 isn't unreasonable to pay.
    It would be strange for a maintained Avalon wouldn't make it to 250k. And like stick said, it's not really a 'luxury' car, it's a Camry without the aggressive attitude ;)

    Looking to buy Toyota RAV4 Hybrid Limited AWD, 2018, 28,271 miles. What is a good to great deal price in Westchester county NY, 10706? Dealership is in CT about 45 miles away. Thank you

    Which begs the question: why not get a cheaper Camry? That’s my point.

    $28k would be very good, if it is in very good condition. If it has needs, start deducting. If CPO and in good condition, $29.5k would be tops for me.

    they seem to want a big, cushy, floaty "land yacht" to cruise down the highway. Avalon is closer to that than an older Camry. Which knowing camrys, if you find a loaded V6 model, probably isn't any cheaper.

    If y’all just want an answer to the question, $11k is fair For the Avalon IF it has zero needs and looks like a car with half the miles.

    I could find better deals all day long, IMHO. Just on the very first page of a cars.com search, I see a 2016 Impala Limited with 55k and 2015 Regal Turbo with 70k for $10.9k each, and a 2016 Fusion Titanium with 70k for $9.9k.

    Would be nice if they could get one that isn’t a Limited (old body style). Still, the old ones were soft, comfortable highway cruisers.

    Don't forget that CT dealers charge a large "Conveyance Fee" So factor that into the price. In Westchester these bogus fees are limited to $75.

    Do you think that any 3.6R Limiteds were delivered without Eyesight?

    Yes, depending on the year. I looked into ordering one without eyesight as it's way overpriced by multipliers of 10 to the tenth power. One was "on the way" but we opted for the Alltrack.

    Looking for some valuation help for a family member. I used to read this forum for fun like 10+ years ago and remembered how helpful the pros were, so I figured I'd give it a try now. Family member is in his 80s and suddenly can't drive anymore due to health issues, is moving into assisted living and wants to sell this truck outright ASAP. We are thinking of starting with Carmax for a quote and then the Toyota dealer he bought the truck from new. Both are over an hour from his house, and since getting him into the truck to take him there is now a major ordeal (since I imagine he needs to be there to sign the title over), we're just looking for some ballpark ideas beforehand of what the truck might be worth wholesale. Carmax has some 2018s on their website that I swear they are asking the same price for that my relative paid for his new in 2018. I'm guessing high 20s might be realistic for this truck on a "trade in" value?

    The Kentucky Supreme Court released rules for conducting jury trial- I'm not going to try a case under those constraints unless I have to. Just one example: If an attorney objects, you can't approach the bench- thus the jurors have to be removed from the courtroom so the objection can be argued from the counsel tables. And don't get me started on what a fiasco jury selection will turn out to be.
    If anyone thinks I'm bein cavalier about "the plague," you should know my son tested positive last week. He told me that it just made him tired. He's already off quarantine.

    Very glad he’s healthy and recovered. Cannot say the same for those in my circle - several have been hospitalized and others have been experiencing symptoms for more than 2 months.

    It affects everyone differently. I came down with something in March right after I started working from home - fever and sore throat. They were telling people not to visit a healthcare provider unless you would otherwise. That wasn't a situation where I normally would, so I didn't. I'm hopeful that if that was it, it will confer lasting immunity, but even that's uncertain.

    My regular bartender's brother in law died from it. I don't know how old he was, but based on his likely age, I don't think he would have been over 50.

    Seems a bit low from them. Get the vin or plate and plug into both carvana and vroom. I’d expect $30k, which is just about auction value. This is a v6, right? I think that’s the only way it came in that trim but want to make sure. Cash offer from a dealer should be right about that $28k-$28.5k number. I believe you can also get cash offers through autotrader.

    Carvana quote with the VIN came out as $29,600. Yes, it's the V6. We're probably going with Carvana. He's never heard of Vroom but has heard of Carvana so he's more comfortable with that.

    I'm in the process of a sale to VROOM right now, while I sold to Carvana over a year ago. I have to admit, Vroom makes the process a bit more difficult, and the fact they don't immediately hand a check over makes me a little queasy as compared to Carvana. I'll be able to vouch good or bad much better and in more detail about VROOM in a few more days (or week) when my sales process is over.

    Still, Carvana offered me peanuts in comparison, so no way I'd go with them again, at least not this time around. For a different vehicle (Alltrack), they had made the best offer, but that was over a year ago.

    It's a trade-off compared to the M3 at my dealer- it has the Competition Package, Executive Package, and it's CPO. Plus it has a complete dealer service history. All it needs is the oil changed in the DCT. On the M3 I'd need to replace the Chinese Ditchfinder Maypops immediately.

    Surprised it is only $75k. I would have guessed $95k, given how expensive even "normal" trucks are.

    Yeah, I just read an article about the "Launch Edition," which was limited to only 702 examples, which sold for $92K a pop. So, I expect that there will be far more of them in the $80+ range than not. Seems crazy to me, but I guess the makers need to rake in the money somewhere! I mean, they barely make a dime off their standard line of pickups (note: strong undertone of sarcasm here).

    Do you like that dark purple-ish color w/the black interior? It looks depressing to me. Also the “Lumbar support delete”??--who would do that? And the 47K miles, esp. for a car like that--hopefully a rich college kid didn't own it......

    Hello,

    I’m looking to purchase a 2018 Highlander XLE AWD in 07446 with 30,0000 miles. There’s an accident reported on the car fax from 2 years ago but it is CPO. I have no details as to what happened.The dealership is telling me I have nothing to worry about because it was driven for 2 years after the accident. Given this amount of information can you tell me what a good and great price would be to get his at. Original MSRP is $41,700+. I’m not sure how much to discount for the accident. Also is there anywhere I can get details of the accident? I sent an email to Carfax but I haven’t heard back from them.

    Hello,

    I’m looking to purchase a 2018 Highlander XLE AWD in 07446 with 30,0000 miles. There’s an accident reported on the car fax from 2 years ago but it is CPO. I have no details as to what happened.The dealership is telling me I have nothing to worry about because it was driven for 2 years after the accident. Given this amount of information can you tell me what a good and great price would be to get his at. Original MSRP is $41,700+. I’m not sure how much to discount for the accident. Also is there anywhere I can get details of the accident? I sent an email to Carfax but I haven’t heard back from them.

    Thank you,

    Jon

    If you could give me color and precise miles, I can see if it ran through auction.

    Normal value is about $31k at the block, putting CPO around $35k, give or take. I agree that, when owner continues to drive it for a couple of years, that is a good sign. Still, I personally wouldn’t pay more than 90% of a clean one, at the most.

    Thank you. I saw some comps nearby for less with no accident so I was going to try and get them to come down below that. The color is Celestial Silver and the miles are 29,843. I appreciate the quick reply and info.

    Thanks,

    If the Highlander is a Toyota CPO, it should include the Carfax report.

    Explorerx4, they gave me the Carfax which has an accident listed 2 years ago. I’m wondering if there’s any way I can find out the severity of it though. There are no details on the accident. Also, I wasn’t sure how much to discount for the accident. Their price is higher than a few listings in the area but they are my area dealer and I’m trying to get this done close to home.

    @jvv1214,
    I've seen the Carfax report have a graphic of a vehicle which at least indicates where the damage was(Front, side, rear).
    Looked a bunch of listings for CPO Highlanders. Found a couple with accidents or damage on Carfax.
    Damage had the graphic, but none of the reports with an accident had any detailed info.
    You might try Autocheck which does charge for a report.

    Eh, no such luck on locating an auction on that one.

    I would ask them right up front what has been painted. If they say they can’t tell, then walk away, because they are either lying or their used car manager is completely incompetent. Neither one bodes well.

    Forgive my ignorance here I’m a newbie, but are you implying it was repainted to cover something up? Also, are auctions something anyone can look up or do you have some sort of special access? Finally, is it possible it was purchased from an individual at lease end and not at an auction?

    Not all states report the severity of the damage on the accident reports.
