Opinions on this deal?

[Phrog]

We're thinking about replacing our 2003 100 with a 2013 200. A friend of a friend offered us a 2013, white, tan interior, 68,500 miles, clean carfax, with a one-year/12k miles Toyota warranty, for $50278. Seems like a fair price but not a bargain. Any opinions? Thanks.

Good price if she is clean.

For 50,300, you could spend another 5 and get something with half (or less) miles. All maintenance and CPO as well. That is what I would/did do.

Seems about 5k too high.

I was thinking same, about 5k to high with those miles.

If it's really clean, near perfect, I am thinking you might should try to negotiate that down a little, possibly offer 45k settle at 48k tops for it.

Low to mid $50s generally gets you a 3-5 year old 25-40,000 mile rig.

I guess it really depends where you guys are. Here in the northeast I bet that truck would be $50k+ easily.

Maybe you guys should agree to use KBB or some source instead of negotiating. Even though it is a friend of a friend it can get tense.

I would be carefull with KBB. Most prices there are to help the dealer. Stay with NADA cuz that's what the bank and the dealer used when they take vehicles in.

That is too expensive. Review Carguru (and the other popular aggregation sites) for the current market. If you can travel, which is not uncommon for a land cruiser, you most likely will secure the best deal.

I paid $49k for a CPO 2013 with 49k miles back in January. Tan on tan. Another $1200 to turn the basic CPO into a 7/100k Toyota platinum CPO.

Okay, it's pretty clear from the collective wisdom here that this is not a particularly good deal. So I'll keep looking or try to talk them down...thanks all.
