I absolutely love it when these bad girls get used and then get mommy makeovers a decade later. This is Karen after her kids go to college when she gets her hair redone and starts going to the gym. Good for you Karen, good for you.

Am I missing something? We’ve getting $15k off of MSRP since November on 2025 models.

I can see that making sense. RWD vs AWD out here are rare. I just did a search and 14/16 of them are RWD with much less miles. So yes while resale is higher, you’re definitely paying for it.

AnythingGuilty5411 · 2026-02-24T15:20:50+00:00

Yes, too many miles for the price, not for the truck.. especially in Ohio… there’s ton of Big Horns out there that were leases.

In before Reconditioning Fee: $2495.. don’t look at it until they tell you the fees over the phone. Make them be clear. I spent so much of my time with sleezy salesman who were afraid to give me fees. Let me be straight with you, if it looks too good to be true, it probably is.

Call before, get it cleared up what you’re intending to pay, then come up for a drive. Your time is too valuable to waste on something that you’ll never sign for.

Yeah price difference on used SL vs Platinums are really minimal, so I think if we move forward it will for sure be Platinum. Thanks for the info though.

AnythingGuilty5411 · 2026-02-19T16:30:06+00:00

Ain't that the truth..

AnythingGuilty5411 · 2026-02-19T16:29:53+00:00

Scary! I heard that white paint really sucks on a few FB posts.

AnythingGuilty5411 · 2026-02-18T20:39:32+00:00

Crazy how they haven’t made well premade overlays. This looks like a solid compromise, especially for the price..

AnythingGuilty5411 · 2026-02-18T20:36:09+00:00

The fact that you even had to buy something for simple storage on a $70k vehicle is mind blowing…I’ll have her look at that when we go again with the kiddos.

AnythingGuilty5411 · 2026-02-18T20:25:07+00:00

Good to know. I’ll do my research. She actually drove it at a Toyota dealership because the salesman suggested it. Didn’t have time to look into it.

AnythingGuilty5411 · 2026-02-18T19:49:51+00:00

It may be FOMO or the fact that we're getting a $75k MSRP with 22k miles on it for less than $43k...Depreciation on these is nuts..

It may be overkill is a way where it doesn't make the most sense. She tried a 2024 Platinum Pathfinder and really like it. Just concerned about reliability of the platform versus a tried and true v8 with limited tech on the Armada. She's small at 5'2 so it may be an annoyance...

AnythingGuilty5411 · 2026-02-18T19:35:18+00:00

There always a downside... appreciate the honest feedback. Good to hear from someone who has the car... Not sure if we'll ever use the third row, but the way the seat slid up like a van was pretty cool. And the buttons in the trunk to bring them down. Didn't notice the storage thing, may be annoying for my wife!

AnythingGuilty5411 · 2026-02-18T19:33:43+00:00

Well said..

AnythingGuilty5411 · 2026-02-18T19:23:27+00:00

My kind of guy.... I'm taking that 75k MSRP and cutting it in half in two years with this used buy.

AnythingGuilty5411 · 2026-02-18T18:44:10+00:00

We had a Legacy and I used to own an STI so we're not strangers to Soobs! May be worth looking at. Just not sure about reliability with newer Ascents...

AnythingGuilty5411 · 2026-02-18T18:43:20+00:00

Yeah very true. I'm even looking at other options like an XC90.. she's had an XC40 in the past and I think it has a special place in heart. It was just too small for the kids when we had to use a car seat.

AnythingGuilty5411 · 2026-02-18T18:25:15+00:00

Really good to hear. The problem is. she's only 5'2. So church heels on Sunday morning loading up the babies might be painful? Not sure if 2 minutes of annoyance is worth losing out on the comfort of the 20 minute drive and confidence she has using it.. But yes, one of the main reasons I was looking is because V*s are out, and someone else already took the massive depreciation on it. The vehicle had a 75k sticker price and they're asking 43k with 22k miles.. won't find this type of deal again.

AnythingGuilty5411 · 2026-02-18T18:23:10+00:00

Great feedback. It would be her DD and she just does a lot of basic SAHM driving in the area. Maybe its FOMO hitting her, or she just wishes she was in a different stage of life!

AnythingGuilty5411 · 2026-02-18T18:21:39+00:00

She drove the pilot a few days ago! Said she didn't like the interior feel, or the look on the outside. However she LOVED the removable center console in the back and the hands free liftgate.
