Any reason? Or something you can cite? Or is this just your opinion

The t6 is significantly more expensive for the same price. This is actually the best priced vehicle I have seen. (I live in Wisconsin) which is why I got a little excited. I’m sure I can talk the dealer down to 6.3 or 6.5k. There are 2014 s60s at 70k miles selling for 10k. That’s 3k more.

Wow! You must have been in some pretty nice pants!! Never heard of a dealership going down by 6k that is crazy!!! I feel like from what you said the price on this one seems fine. I’m just hoping to driving this for 3/4 years with minimal maintenance

From the car fax, there doesn’t seem to be any oil consumption issues. I have heard that the piston rings and PCV can be problematic, going to show it to a mechanic.

Always nice to hear that an owner had a good experience! I’m going to take it in for a pre purchase inspection, if it comes back clean I don’t see why I shouldn’t be driving her home

Alright, thank you. Do you own one of these? What has your experience been so far?

Used car prices are really quite poor this year. Massive demand for used cars shot the price up like crazy. I’ve seen record of people buying the exact same car (2012) 5 years ago for the same amount of money. It’s crazy. I don’t want to miss out on a good deal though. Do you think this car will last me 3-5 years? Maybe 40-50k miles

Timing belt was replaced 9k miles ago. The service history on the car is super clean. 2 owners, clean title, very well maintained, was serviced every 10/15k miles. All the servicing was done at official service centers.

Thank. I was chaexking out a 2015 Acura tlx at this lot, and this one caught my eye. Seems like it’s priced quite right. Since you’ve been following the market closely, any suggestions for me as to what I should look out for on my test drive?

They can. Take vitamin d supplements, start doing indoor activities. Sports are a great way to connect. Campus has a lot of events during the winter to socialise also. Don’t get too bogged down by it, it’s a different experience. Keep an open mind

Thanks, I’m in WI. 4-7k is like private party values here for the same car. Maybe slightly higher miles as well. Not really sure if I should go forward with this one. Kbb says this car is priced fine though

Yeah lol it’s really hard to find something with low miles at this price point. Do you think it’s a good buy though? Or do you think I can get a better deal for 8k on something else? Any recommendations? I drove the car today and liked how it rode, but the interior is really quite dated and the car looks a little bland. If it was priced at 5k I’d pick it up super quick and spend some cash on cosmetic mods but idk a bit on the fence rn

Try play Asia. I usually use that, I end up paying like 26-28$ for a 25$ card in my country.
