2014 Chevrolet Equinox LT
Verdict #581 · 116,885 miles · VIN 2GNALCEK3E6281983 · Stock #N/A BUY
“2014 Equinox LT at $7,655 — fair money for a high-mile family crossover; check the 2.4L’s oil.”
Pros
- Right-sized family crossover, easy to drive
- $7,655 sits mid-band for 110k-120k-mile 2014 LTs ($6.5k-$9k)
- Deep used supply keeps prices honest
- Franchise-store car — reconditioned and inspected, not a curbstoner special
Cons
- The 2.4L Ecotec’s oil-consumption issue is THE watch item — check the dipstick yourself
- 116,885 miles means struts, mounts, and wheel bearings are wear items
- Interior plastics are rental-grade in places; check for prior fleet history
Analysis
At $7,655 with 116,885 miles, this 2014 Equinox LT is priced in the middle of its band — not a steal, not a reach. The Equinox is honest transportation: roomy, simple, cheap to fix, with one famous caveat.
The caveat is the 2.4L Ecotec’s appetite for oil. Before money moves: pull the dipstick (full and clean is what you want to see), ask for oil-change intervals, and listen for timing-chain rattle on a cold start. If it passes those checks plus a pre-purchase inspection, $7,655 is fair money for a practical crossover. Verdict: BUY.
