Analysis
A 2025 Equinox LT with 40,410 miles at $24,660. Do the math on those miles: that’s roughly two years of driving packed into one. A one-year-old car with 40k on the clock lived a hard first year — most likely as a rental or fleet vehicle.
The 2025 Equinox is a solid crossover (full redesign, good mpg), and Preferred Auto is genuinely one of the best used-car dealers in Fort Wayne. Neither the car nor the dealer is the problem here. The price is. Comparable 2025 LTs with 37k-44k miles are listed at $21,999-$23,791. At $24,660, you’re paying top dollar for the highest-mile example in the bunch. Offer $22,500 or keep walking.
