Seems we disagree on what constitutes a deal. What I’ll leave you with is that I have almost to an unhealthy extent shopped HE’s since late 2022 and the market in this last 3+ year window hasn’t really changed all that much. That is to say, there have been peaks and valleys. Right now is not the time to buy unless you really want to get kicked in the teeth on depreciation. There are dealers and the occasional seller here on Mud who will offer one up a fair price for the age, mileage, and condition.
Before I ultimately sold and cashed out on my silver one a few weeks ago the best trade in offer I got was $78k for a stock example with 34k miles. At double that mileage I’d of lost at least another $10k. If I had to guess I’d say they owned that gray HE for something in the upper 60’s. It’s no secret by now that dealers who know about these go above and beyond their usual $5-$10k mark ups and try to get $20k or more. Great deal for them, bad deal for whoever paid for it. I would have offered them $75k tops.
