[Solved] Buying a New Used Car

Hello sir! I'm currently searching for used cars and came across a used 2013 Toyota Highlander 4WD V6 with a five-speed automatic. It has 74,365 miles on it and is going for $16,000 from the dealership it's being sold at, but I think I'll be able to negotiate it lower. Is it a good buy?

Thank You!

I always use Edmunds "trade in" value as an estimator then go from there. I used to work at a leading used car company years ago and what they offered for trades or buy outs was always close to Edmunds trade in values or less. Its a start. Always start out lower than what you want to pay.

Try to pay less. But first, road test it and if you like it, have it checked by a mechanic.

Good luck!

That price seems high, try this app called CarGurus and see if you can find similar models for a much lower price!

2016 highlander had 5 trim levels, LE, LE Plus, XLE, Limited, and Limited Platinum.

The fair market value of the mentioned vehicle can vary from about $11,000.00 to $19,000.00 USD, depending upon trim level, condition, options, sales region, and the status of title, registration and emissions cert.

For a base LE, the price is too high, for a platinum, the price is far too low.

In my experience, the Platinum is the most desirable, it also had the lowest number made.

Like PorkChopHll said, I always got to Edmunds car appraisal section to see what a car might be worth.
