2014 CRV w/85k miles for $14k. Is it a good buy? Mechanically sound (no codes, passes wet/dry compression test and doesn't burn any oil). Has had tranny fluid flushes every 40k miles and oil changes every 5k miles. No structural rust. $14k seems a bit pricey to me. Buy or pass?
See my comments below on reliability of the 2014 CRV: it’s got an excellent service history (the engine oil and transmission fluid change intervals are what I personally would follow, too). And 2014, IMO, was better than any newer ones from 2015-present. If it were me, I would try to see if they can go lower, but it’s a seller’s market. Where I am at, vehicles in that condition rarely pop up and when they do they are gone after a few days. I can only speak for myself, but if you need a vehicle now, have been looking for months on end and found nothing close to this one (in terms of history and condition), and your finances allow - then I would jump on it.

It is well maintained based on all the service record paperwork. If it were closer $11k, I'd be willing to do it. $14k seems a bit too much. Not in a rush, but seems like a really good vehicle so hesitant to pass on it.
Is it a LX or EX. My wife has the LX same year and it has been a great car mechanically. It seems like that one was maintained very well. The price is a few grand high if it is a LX and priced on the high if it is an EX. All used cars seem to be selling for very high price these days.
Long story short, you are not getting a deal at that price.
It's an LX. If it's closer to $10k, it would be a fairer price.
Check KBB and remember everything is competitive now, car prices are high now.
im worried about the trans being flushed and not drain and filled especially on a honda
have a mech check it out with a comp
if it's running and shifting OK I wouldn't worry. But I would check if the filter needs to be replaced.
