Used to be easier to get retail prices, now they just seem to shove you into used car listings... I feel like $11.9k is high, but I guess it compares well to the last comp I test drive at $10.6k /131k miles since it has 26k fewer miles.

Must have been multitasking. I read that and then by the time I got to the screenshot I forgot. Oy.

Contemplating checking the 2018 in North Conway, NH (last post) tomorrow on the way home. Not sure what I think a 2018 in comparable condition to the 2015's I've been looking at. Looks like $11,500 is about where the 2015's are. $13000 seems like it might be OK for a 2018. Not sure how to do a good undercarriage corrosion inspection with the car on the ground and I don't have ramps with me...

Think this one is worth going to look at?
2018, 112k mi, $11,500, needs a "wheel axle" repair?

This one is near Fitchburg MA near work and I think checks all the boxes- lowest mileage I've looked at if I go see it.

2015, 81k mi, $13.5k (started at $15k, hopefully ready to negotiate?)

Holy crap, it has Distronic.

Pretty well equipped. Including backup camera. Probably worth snapping it up if you can get it for like $12k or whatever. Or even $12,500.
