Before you negotiate
- Anything under $11,648 at this mileage is a good deal. Get the history report before you go.
- 2 of the 13 comparable cars sold in the last 30 days, so this range reflects real transactions, not just asking prices.
Confidence: low (estimated, 4 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.
