Fair price

There’s a dealer near me asking 20k for an 04 with 192K on the clock. Texas and Florida truck. What’s a fair purchase price? What should I offer?

Very vague post lol

But with the right information, and looking at what they are going for, 200k miles seems to get anywhere from $10k-20k with mid-teens being the average, I think its probably worth mid-high teens.

Two accidents isnt great, but the service history is really great. Check that the doors are not full of Bondo and maybe go from there if the frame is super clean.

I saw the accidents but they were both reported as minor. I’m having a hard time finding one from rust free states that’s are clean with no accidents.

Well, I wouldn’t take less than 20k for my ‘04 and it’s got 280k!

With the accidents youd be paying up for it I think, BUT the service history is pretty comprehensive so that is also worth something. I think if the underside is still 'like new' and a good thorough inspection checks out, then it might be worth coming to a deal on in the high teens if possible. I think the color is worth a couple bucks too...much better than the usual stuff.

Being at some mom and pop joint, it probably just came from an auction so its hard to know for sure until its heavily looked at. Seems like itll get you another 200k though!

It's a dealer. Offer at least 20% less - like $16K, and then shut your mouth and let them sit on your offer for a day. Let them sweat it for a while and come back to you with a counteroffer.
