This Is An Update To A Previous Question

Follow Up Comment From Catherine: Hello, Thanks for your reply. I made a mistake. The mileage is actually 34,000 on that. I’ve told him I want to walk out the door at 20,000 (that means ttl would be included). Do you think I’m pressing my luck?

There’s also a 2004, similar features, but with 53,000 miles. I was thinking of suggesting 16,000. It is on their website for 21,000.

Finally, is it better to buy a cheaper car (15,000) at 5.6% (credit union) or buying the 20,000 car at 1.9%.

Question From Catherine:  I am in Chicagoland. There are 24,000 miles and a third row seat. Engine is 2.5L and in great condition. They are asking 23,900 but they are willing to negotiate. I’ve told them I want to stay under 20,000.

Queen of the Road: Good call, Catherine! $23.9k is too high. It’s possible to get the car for under $20k.
