Analysis
The 2014 Chevrolet Cruze LT sits in the sweet spot of the budget-sedan market: Edmunds comps put 145k-mile 2014 Cruze LTs at $5,995-$6,200, and Kash Kars asks exactly $5,995. That is a market-fair price, not a discount and not a markup.
The 1.4L turbo is economical but has a well-documented weakness: coolant leaks from the water outlet, thermostat housing, and turbo feed lines are common on 2011-2014 Cruzes. At 146,881 miles, a pre-purchase inspection of the cooling system is non-negotiable.
Verdict: the price is honest, the car photographs clean, and 38 MPG highway keeps running costs low. BUY — but get that cooling system checked first.
