40,410 miles · $24,910 with $250 doc fee · 1.5L Turbo CVT FWD
Moose’s Verdict
Too many miles, too much money.
The redesigned 2025 Equinox is a solid compact SUV — good tech, comfortable ride, decent fuel economy. But 40,410 miles on a one-year-old vehicle is nearly triple the normal pace, and $24,660 is roughly $2,000 over what comparable 40k-mile 2025 Equinox LTs actually sell for. Heavy miles plus an above-market price is a bad combination. The dealer is reputable, but the numbers don’t work here. Pass.
Price vs Market
$24,660 sits ~$2k above comparable 2025 Equinox LTs with ~40k miles ($21,998–$23,948).

$46,203
8,224 miles · $44,219 with $261 doc fee · 3.3L Turbo I6 AWD
Moose’s Verdict
Nearly new at a used price.
$46,203 for a 8,224-mile 2026 CX-70 S Premium is roughly 17% off what this trim costs new — and you skip the steepest part of the depreciation curve. The CX-70 is Mazda’s sharp-looking 2-row flagship, the turbo inline-6 is smooth and strong, and Mazda’s reliability record is solid. At this mileage it’s likely a demo or executive vehicle, so confirm the history, but the math works. Buy it.
Price vs Market
$46,203 is ~17% off new MSRP for a 8,224-mile S Premium — strong value for a nearly-new CX-70.

30,634 miles · $31,559 with $549 in fees · 5.0L V8 6-speed manual RWD
Moose’s Verdict
Great spec. Wrong price.
This is the Mustang everyone wants on paper: a 5.0L Coyote V8, a proper 6-speed manual, rear-wheel drive, and the GT Performance Package — in Oxford White, no less. Low miles at 30,634 help. But $31,010 is roughly $2,000 to $3,000 over what the market says a 2017 GT coupe should cost. Bob Thomas has it priced like a 2018+ refresh or a sub-20k-mile garage queen, and it isn’t either. The spec is right. The price isn’t. Walk until it drops.
Price vs Market
$31,010 sits ~$2–3k above comparable 2017 GT coupes with similar miles.
★★★★★
History (VIN)
Clean record claimed on the listing — verify the history yourself before you buy.

$7,703
148,053 miles · $7,955 with $252 doc fee · 3.6L V6, 9-speed auto
Moose’s Verdict
Cheap price. Ticking 9-speed.
$7,703 is cheap — CarGurus even rates it a Great Deal after a price drop. But the price is not the problem; the transmission is. The 2017–2018 Pacifica’s 9-speed automatic is one of the most complained-about transmissions of the decade: over 1,200 NHTSA complaints, harsh shifting, limp mode, and complete failures — many between 45,000 and 85,000 miles — with replacements running $4,000–$8,000. This van has 148,053 miles on that same unit. Add 10+ NHTSA recalls and a settled class action over engine stalling, and no discount is deep enough. Walk away.
Price vs Market
$7,703 is genuinely cheap (CarGurus: Great Deal) — but a cheap ticket on a broken ride is still a bad deal.
★★★★★
History (VIN)
No AutoCheck score obtainable at verdict time. Price dropped $8,002 down to $7,703 — the market is speaking.
★★★★★
Maintenance & Reliability
2018 is the worst year for the 9-speed: 1,200+ NHTSA transmission complaints, failures at 45k–85k miles, $4k–$8k to replace. 10+ recalls. Hard pass.

No free AutoCheck score was obtainable for this VIN at verdict time. What the record does show: 443 NHTSA owner complaints on the 2018 Pacifica — the highest transmission-complaint volume of any Pacifica year — plus 10 or more recalls (cruise control, Uconnect, stalling-related campaigns) and a settled class-action lawsuit over engine stalling covering 2017–2021 models. The listing’s own price drop ($8,002 down to $7,703) tells you demand is soft. Verify recall completion by VIN, but the transmission history alone is the verdict.

$7,065
86,757 miles · $7,317 with $252 doc fee · 1.6L 4-cyl, 6-speed manual
Moose’s Verdict
Great price. Budget the MINI tax.
$7,065 after a price drop is genuinely cheap — Edmunds calls it a great price, $2,682 below market for 86,757 miles. And this one has the right spec: the base 1.6L (not the troublesome turbo) paired with a 6-speed manual (no automatic to worry about). The honest part: it is still an R57 MINI. Cooling-system plastics crack (thermostat housing, electric water pump), they drink oil, and the convertible top’s rear glass can delaminate. Price in $1,500–$2,500 of MINI maintenance, get a PPI, and the discount still covers you.
Price vs Market
Edmunds: great price — $2,682 below market after a price drop from $7,857.
★★★★★

Federal records show 53 owner complaints and zero recalls for the 2015 Cooper Convertible — the big MINI airbag-mat recall hit 2005–2008 cars, not this one. The listing shows a price drop ($7,857 down to $7,065), which reads as a motivated seller rather than a problem car, but only a full history report and a PPI — with the top cycled several times and the cooling system pressure-tested — will confirm it.

133,400 miles · $20,802 with $252 doc fee · 4.0L V6, 5-speed auto
Moose’s Verdict
Fair price. Legendary bones. Just 2WD.
$20,550 lands right around fair market for a 2016 SR5 with 133,400 miles — comparable 4Runners list $19k–$22k at these miles. What you are buying is the drivetrain: the 4.0L 1GR-FE V6 and 5-speed automatic are among the most proven combos Toyota ever built, with 300k-mile examples everywhere. Two honest knocks: it is rear-wheel drive (not 4WD) in a snow state, which narrows resale, and at 133k miles in the salt belt the frame needs a hard look for rust before money changes hands.
Price vs Market
$20,550 sits mid-range against $19k–$22k comps at similar miles — fair, not a steal.
★★★★★
History (VIN)
No AutoCheck score obtainable at verdict time. Same VIN previously listed out of state near $20k–$21k — consistent pricing, no games evident.

$19,487
52,139 miles · $19,739 with $252 doc fee · 2.0L 4-cyl AWD
Moose’s Verdict
Priced $4,109 under market. Zero recalls.
$19,487 is a genuinely strong price — iSeeCars pegs market value at $23,596, putting this Crosstrek $4,109 under market as a GREAT DEAL. The 2023 Crosstrek has zero NHTSA recalls, and Consumer Reports rates its reliability much better than average in nearly every category. 52,139 miles on the proven 2.0L/CVT/AWD combo is barely broken in. At this price, this is the kind of listing that sells itself — the only question is why it has sat 90 days.
Price vs Market
iSeeCars: GREAT DEAL — $4,109 below the $23,596 market value for 52k miles.
★★★★★

Before buying, run the VIN through NHTSA.gov/recalls and pull a full history report — 90 days on the lot is not a red flag by itself, but it is a question worth asking.

159,862 miles · $24,004 with $252 doc fee · 6.7L Power Stroke V8 Turbo Diesel 4WD
Moose’s Verdict
Clean history. CP4 roulette.
One owner, no accidents on Carfax, last serviced at 159,478 miles in September 2025 — this is the cleanest history of the batch, and the recent price drop to $23,752 sits under Lariat comps ($24.9k–$32.9k). But the engine it carries is the deciding fact: pre-2020 6.7L Power Strokes run the Bosch CP4 injection pump, and when a CP4 fails it sends metal through the injectors, rails, and lines — a five-figure fuel-system rebuild. At 159,862 miles you are buying inside the risk window with no warranty left. EGT sensors and the plastic cold-side intercooler pipe are the secondary suspects. Fair price, honest truck — but a fuel bill that can double the purchase price is not a bet to take.
Price vs Market
$23,752 is under Lariat comps ($24.9k–$32.9k) and recently dropped — but it is a fair price on a truck with a five-figure failure mode.
★★★★★
History (VIN)
Carfax: no accidents or damage reported, last serviced 09/22/25 at 159,478 miles in Fenton, MI. One owner per the dealer.

120,605 miles · $23,505 with $252 doc fee · 3.5L V6 4WD
Moose’s Verdict
Rare manual. Priced under comps.
The 2016 Tacoma’s signature complaint — the hunting, gear-confused 6-speed automatic — does not apply here, because this TRD Sport has the 6-speed manual. Manual TRD Sports are genuinely hard to find, and this one is priced under the manual comps ($24,680 for a 129,631-mile manual in Fort Wayne; CarGurus calls this one a Great Deal). Four NHTSA recalls apply to the 2016 (rear-diff oil leak, crank-position-sensor stall, hood scoop, knee-airbag bolts) — check completion on the VIN — and the 3.5L’s injector tick is a character trait, not a failure. A Tacoma with the transmission everyone wishes the others had: BUY.
Price vs Market
$23,253 is a Great Deal against manual TRD Sport comps ($24,680 for 129k miles in Fort Wayne).
★★★★★

62,380 miles · $29,152 with $252 doc fee · 2.5L Turbo I4 AWD
Moose’s Verdict
Hard miles on a soft record.
$28,900 is roughly market for a 2024 GV80 — until you read the odometer. 62,380 miles in about two years is more than double the normal pace, and the GV80 already trails its luxury rivals on reliability: owners report infotainment and electronics faults, transmission hesitation, and differential issues. One owner and no accidents is good on paper, but heavy miles on a below-average reliability record is exactly how you buy someone else’s problems. Pass.
Price vs Market
$28,900 matches lower-mile 2024 comps — but this one carries double the normal miles.
