It's a cpo, priced at 52k. Good call with lka

I would say you can negotiate for 53-54K.

BTW, your car is missing the advanced pre-collision system and the LKA, so it is not fully loaded, further justifying a price reduction. Good luck!

Ok, 52K is much better; I must have mis-read the price on line or they have not fixed it on the web. There may still be some wiggle room due to equipment, but for the mileage and CPO, it's a good deal. If the service records check out and the car is in great shape (remember you can still do a third party pre-purchase inspection, and dealerships may fudge the CPO inspection), you can justify getting an itchy trigger finger

Well, if you decide to take the plunge, post some pics inside and out. The kids will love the back seat and all the extra space. Good luck!

@UZ214: If you make a deal on the car, make sure it's written up. Also, I recommend putting a refundable deposit to hold the car if you're not physically at the dealership. Dealers have been known to sell cars they've said they would hold. The written contract, contingent on a PPI and personal inspection and test drive, and a refundable deposit might prevent potential problems.

+1....This is the way to go. This will help to lessen any disappointment.
