This one is at a Kia dealer in Charleston, SC: 2007 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder GT V6, auto trans 33k miles Dark red over black leather Sport Premium package (leather, auto climate control, heated seats) Condition looks good from the pictures. Haven't seen it in person, so I don't know about tires and maintenance. What do you think they have in it and what is a fair offer? Thanks in advance. |

Location: Omaha, NE 2008 Toyota Highlander Sport V6/Auto 2WD -Front 27000 Pearl White Out/Light Gray Cloth In Options: MP3 Multi-Compact Disc/JBL Premium Sound/Bluetooth Wireless/Sun Roof/Rear Air/Third Row/Alloys/Roof rack/Privacy Glass Interior/Exterior: No flaws, still looks fairly new Tires - 40% worn Maintenance: bought car as Certified Used just over 1yr ago. Has had normal maintenance performed on time (oil changes/inspections) We are looking to trade this. I am appalled at the offer we've received. $16k!! Seems very low to me so wanted to get an opinion here. I am seeing this type of car for retail around $26k. I'm confused. Thanks

I just did a TMV pricing and it says $25k. We bought it certified used with $13k miles on it. Just wondering why a dealer would only be willing to pay $16k for it. It still seems extremely low.

Replying to: jayrider (Nov 09, 2009 11:36 am) I'm seeing these in the lower to mid 20's on autotrader with same miles. So I'm not sure where you're searching. Without knowing current auction values however, it's hard to say too much. It's possible Toyota has a bunch of these coming off lease which is deflating values. This is the time of year that happens with Toyota so it could be a timing issue. If the auctions are swamped with lease returns, it'll bump all the values down, even average mileage newer iron.
