Pros

  • $7,780 is under market — comparable high-mile 2018 Equinox LTs list $8,400–$9,000
  • 2-owner, no accidents reported, 18 service history records
  • AWD, 1.5L turbo with decent 24/30 mpg
  • Priced like a dealer that knows the mileage

Cons

  • 171k miles on the 1.5L turbo — oil consumption and cooling issues are documented for this generation
  • Pre-purchase inspection is mandatory at this mileage
  • High-mileage running costs will exceed a lower-mile example

Analysis

At $7,780, this 2018 Equinox LT is priced like a dealership that knows it has miles on it. Comparable 2018 Equinox LTs with 150k+ miles are listed around $8,400–$9,000, so this one sits under the market line — and the CarFax history backs it up: 2-owner, no accidents reported, and 18 service history records, which is a real maintenance paper trail for a car with 171,000 miles.

The caution flag is the 1.5L turbo: 2018–2020 Equinoxes have well-documented oil-consumption and cooling-system complaints, so a pre-purchase inspection that checks oil level, coolant, and turbo health is non-negotiable. But a documented, no-accident example priced under the market is exactly the setup where the inspection fee pays for itself. That is a BUY with the usual high-mileage homework done first.

Market Comparison

Comparable 2018 Chevrolet Equinox LT AWD listings with 150k+ miles are priced around $8,400–$9,000. At $7,780 with 171,090 miles and a documented 2-owner, no-accident CarFax history, this one is under the market line.
