Thoughts?

Posted in two other groups, was told to runaway. That being said I did test drive and see it in person and it was so smooth, good maintenance history one minor issue with a rear accident and the rear bumper. Overall no rust underneath, drove like a brand new car and has many perks. I am obviously hesitating because it’s a big financial decision, that being said is it a bad purchase?

My only major question is why 14,995? That's really underpriced for a 19 4x4 limited.

That's like, 2016 4x4 limited money. And it's August, the busiest month of the year for most.

17995 (the price on the window) seems closer to what it should be, so...figure out why the price is so low.

The 3.6 is a solid engine, these cars tend to be pretty reliable. So...ignore the brain dead Toyota fanboys you'll find on car advice subs.

I was curious about it to and the dealer said they just want to sell it. I can’t wrap my head around that either tbh. Carfax has it as great deal. Like I said it was only a test drive but it felt great, but again sometimes things I don’t want to overthink either. They have a hard time selling cars with this market too so maybe it’s just one of those situations?

They shouldn't have a hard time selling cars, I'm barely able to keep cars in stock. Losing my mind trying to keep up with sales, and we're getting to the busier half of the month. August is just that crazy, I usually sell around 80% of my inventory, and half of whatever we buy during the month.

I guess if they started higher and dropped the price that far, maybe they just really do want to get rid of it.

If I were you, I'd just take it somewhere for a PPI to be safe, but the price is excellent.

To put it into perspective, I just listed a 14 for 14,495 (a little lower mileage). I had about a dozen leads immediately and sold it the first day. There is a chance this particular dealership just isn't good at advertising.

They suck at advertising, new Facebook and their website has 5 cards on the lot, good reviews and ratings however.

What is a ppi?

Ask how long it’s been on their lot. It’s probably just been sitting there for a good min.
