even 19k for a no accident one seems hella high for a 13' I would try to find a good example with no accident for that 16k but that's just me.

fumanchu1 · 06-16-2016, 02:47 PM

have you though about crossing to CAN to get one for like 18k cdn? I mean you're in NE so not far frm us. @Mattstermh

like this: http://www.kijiji.ca/v-autos-camions...ationFlag=true

16.5k cdn with mods and a small fender bender (only 33k km)

HOLY EFF. Those aren't even worth looking at.

I'd pass on the accident car.

Also, careful with 2013 cars. The early ones had the engines that were prone to blow their direct injection seals.

Edit: title was clean and all work was done with official aftermarket parts at the Toyota dealer.
Need to get more information, regarding what was replaced

How much you buying for? Can find one around 30-40k miles for $17,000 USD nowadays from DEALER! Clean title. Most are due to buyers remorse.

Any vehicle in an accident I'd stay away if possible unless I was there when it occurred and it was like a simple parking lot accident. I know we on diff coasts buy Salinas Toyota had a 2014, 6mt, Blue with 36k going for $18k w/ tax 2 weeks ago.

I'm looking for an auto, which makes it a little tougher.
Looking for white or silver.

Way too high for a car with $9k in damage in it's history. There's guys offloading cars with that level of damage (salvage/rebuilt title) for <$12k.

Start looking out of state, a <$18k car with slightly higher mileage but good condition will be worth the air fare if all you can get is $19k at 20k miles. iirc CPO warranties through Toyota should follow the car wherever it goes.

Edit: Just saw you want an AT, $19k/20k miles is probably one of the best deals you're going to get if it's exactly what you want, the car is solid, and the dealership isn't jerking you around.

Mattstermh · 06-16-2016, 04:35 PM

With that said, is the accident car worth the price?

There's another for $14,9 w/ 50k miles

Its worth nothing.

Mattstermh · 06-17-2016, 04:47 PM

What do you mean it's worth nothing? The car is +$4k w/o an accident

darthpnoy1984 · 06-18-2016, 01:09 AM

I'd get a full report and parts replaced if it was in a accident as long as the parts that were replaced were OEM not mickey mouse then your solid.

RichardsFRS · 06-18-2016, 11:02 AM

9k is half the price of the cars worth, I'd say no

Mattstermh · 06-19-2016, 05:13 PM

Is there a best tire for non snow conditions? In Boston we get a mix of random weather (this is in addition to the snows I'll get).
