Before you negotiate
- Anything under $22,434 at this mileage is a good deal. Get the history report before you go.
- Stepping back one year to a 2017 saves about $2,580 for the same generation. Worth a look if mileage is similar.
- 6 of the 51 comparable cars sold in the last 30 days, so this range reflects real transactions, not just asking prices.
Confidence: low (3 comparable cars at this 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.
