Pros
- Lowest miles of the Budget Corner batch at 104,312
- 8-passenger 3.6L V6 family hauler
- Photographs clean in silver
Cons
- $9,975 vs Edmunds clean dealer retail of ~$4,823-$5,287 — nearly double

- 2014 Traverses have timing-chain and transmission wear concerns at this age
Analysis
This is the clearest overprice of the batch. Edmunds clean dealer retail for a 2014 Traverse LS is $4,823-$5,287; CarGurus averages the model year near $7,567. Budget Corner asks $9,975 — roughly double book. Worse, an eBay comp with nearly identical miles (104,840) ended at $6,499, which is $3,476 less for the same truck.
The 104,312 miles are genuinely low for the year, and the Traverse is a useful 8-seater. But low miles do not justify a 90% premium over book on a 12-year-old crossover with known timing-chain stretch issues.
Verdict: MOOSED. The right SUV at nearly twice the right price.
