Pros

  • 7-8 seats and the 3.6L V6 — honest family hauler
  • Photographs clean with the Kelley lot branding
  • Franchise dealer with a 4.6-star iSeeCars rating

Cons

  • $7,318 vs $5,800-$6,617 for same-mileage 2014 Traverse LT comps
  • 157,826 miles on the 3.6L — timing-chain territory without records
  • No VIN or history shown at this mileage is a non-starter

Analysis

The market has spoken on high-mileage 2014 Traverse LTs, and it says $6,000. Comps: $6,167 at 154,950 miles, $5,800 at 161,000 miles, $6,001 at 162,762 miles, $6,617 at 160,547 miles. Tom Kelley’s $7,318 at 157,826 miles is $700-$1,500 over every one of them.

At 157,826 miles the 3.6L V6’s timing-chain history is the whole ballgame, and the listing shows no VIN, no service records, nothing. Paying a premium over the market for a mystery-history high-miler is the wrong trade.

Verdict: MOOSED. The market price for this car starts with a 6, not a 7.
