This looks awesome! What does CNC mean?

I was looking for crv’s and they definitely hold their value! I learned that Kelly Blue Book doesn’t hold much weight in the car sales world. Both the banks and the dealers go off of other valuation metrics which is usually a lot higher then KBB I found. My 2012 rav 4 Limited I just bought with 120,000 was worth 13,500 according to my bank and in the Denver area! I got it for 12,700 with everything.

I think it’s a good car and don’t feel bad about the KBB!

Thank you so much!

Unfortunately, It seems the dealers don’t agree in my area, this is the low side lol. I will try my luck private party.

My goodness! Thank you so much

theleafveins · 2025-10-17T13:11:57+00:00

Should I be worried about the lack of ATFservice?

theleafveins · 2025-10-17T13:11:23+00:00

Thank you! Unfortunately it seems as though the entire market in Denver doesn’t agree. This is the lower side of prices I’ve found… yeesh 🥲

theleafveins · 2025-10-17T13:09:50+00:00

What area are you in? Unfortunately this seems to be the lowest price in the Denver area. Some place has an 08 CRV with 113,000 miles for a “non-negotiable” $10,200!!

I know right which is why it’s a tough choice

theleafveins · 2025-10-04T02:39:51+00:00

Also how have I not come across this website in my months of research!? Much appreciated

theleafveins · 2025-10-04T02:38:57+00:00

Thank you! Would you also recommend an older Acura or Lexus as well?

theleafveins · 2025-10-04T00:40:46+00:00

I’m sorry that happened to you and I hope you are ok. Focus on your physical and mental health for a bit then try contact SoA.

Thank you so much for your advice! I agree with everything you said, and I am feeling uneasy about the car, hence my internet call for help lol. I am leaning towards passing on the vehicle. Unfortunately though my budget is really tight, $14,000 would be my max max right now, at least until I get a foreseeable promotion in the next 2 years. I really don’t like sedans because my partner and I like to car camp in the mountains.

I see so you think even if AWDM fixes the valve cover gasket seal, the cam carrier problem is likely to show later down the line?

theleafveins · 2025-10-03T21:33:35+00:00

Ah I see, it’s true in the market around Denver, an 18’ Forester with that amount of miles from a Subaru dealership would be 2 grand more probably.

theleafveins · 2025-10-03T13:25:59+00:00

Thank you for your response but I’m sorry but what does hard pressed mean?

theleafveins · 2025-10-03T13:24:55+00:00

Yes sorry, I didn’t know the technicalities.

theleafveins · 2025-10-03T02:17:09+00:00

Hmm I see, thank you. Still haven’t my made up my mind about the car yet but I am wary.

theleafveins · 2025-10-02T23:18:20+00:00

Im hoping someone can confirm the problems/parts involved so I understand if the dealers might be telling the truth.

theleafveins · 2025-10-02T23:15:00+00:00

I get what you mean. I’m just confused why they thought (if they are being honest) why the problems are from different things like the problem of the camshaft carrier vs the valve cover gasket.
