Wow, what a crazy range. Compared to other vehicles the split from low to high mileage versions isn't so wide.
But also, I'm not aware of an suv where they are practically the same thing for so many years aside from some aesthetic changes. I'll have to study a bit more the changes but it looks like all the basic/meaningful things are the same such as engine, offorad controls, suspension, ventilated seats, etc.
1-I see transmission actually had major change 6 to 8 spd
2-However even though I'm reading the brakes increased in size, an 18" wheel is still usable so fundamentally this is great.
While $23k for a 2013 just over 200k miles seems still a bit strong, it almost seems like a bargain if one with 50k and 8 years newer is $80-90k
I hadn't even realized the front grill and all 4 corners lamp housings were different until I compared the other day. I didn't hate the older bug-eye corners but now I do prefer the flattened shape.
200,000 miles is nothing if it's "my miles", but I have to admit I'm not too hot about it being an unknown vs my own knowledge of maintenance and then of course the whole memories of miles aspect. I have 2 other suvs that have 240,000 miles but they're all my history FWIW.
I suppose saying it out loud, I am the spend more up front bu then keep it long term so maybe I've found my answer.
