How did the dealer quote it?
2018 Chevrolet Sonic, used · 1st generation
A fair price at 90,000 km is $10,495 to $11,495 (estimated), from 2 similar cars in Alberta this month (0 already sold).
Comparable cars are selling for less. A reasonable counter is $10,995, the typical price at this mileage; $11,495 is the most you should pay.
Only 1 2018 Sonic listed near 90,000 km, so this is estimated from the nearest listed mileage (all mileages, 2 cars) using how 1st generation Sonic prices fall with mileage.
Hi, I am interested in the 2018 Sonic listed at $11,995. Comparable ones in Alberta with similar mileage have been selling between $10,495 and $11,495 this month, typically around $10,995. Would you do $10,995? I can come in this week.

Before you negotiate
- Anything under $10,495 at this mileage is a good deal. Get the history report before you go.
- 0 of the 2 comparable cars sold in the last 30 days, so this range reflects real transactions, not just asking prices.
Confidence: low (estimated, 2 cars at the nearest mileage). Prices are per vehicle; the same car listed at several rooftops is counted once. Sold cars are kept in because a car that sold at a price is evidence about that price.
