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).

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.
★★★★★

19/28 MPG (23 combined) — decent for a minivan, irrelevant here.

4.8 stars on 34 Google reviews (Larwill 4.7/26, Goshen 5.0/8), but a public Jan 2025 complaint alleges a kept deposit at the Goshen store.
★★★★★
Vehicle History
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.

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.
★★★★★

The Bosch CP4 injection pump is the elephant: failure means metal through the fuel system, $10k+. EGT sensors and the plastic cold-side intercooler pipe are secondary known issues at this mileage.

The 2015 F-350 carries no major NHTSA recall campaigns tied to this unit; its known issues are mechanical (CP4 pump, EGT sensors), not recall items. Budget the fuel-filter changes religiously.

100,895 miles · $23,255 with $252 doc fee · 5.3L V8 4WD
Moose’s Verdict
Good price. First-year DFM gamble.
$23,003 sits below the comp range for a 2019 LT at these miles ($22.7k–$23.9k; CarGurus rates it a Great Deal) — the price is genuinely fair. The powertrain is the problem: 2019 was the first year of GM’s Dynamic Fuel Management, and the 5.3L’s DFM lifters are a documented failure point — collapsed lifters, scored cams, repair bills around $8,700 in owner records. The 8L90 8-speed adds its own shudder and torque-converter complaints. Five-plus NHTSA recalls apply (brake EBCM software, battery-cable fire risk, seat-belt pretensioner, seat-belt bracket, passenger airbag). Cheap to buy, expensive to own — that is a MOOSE.
Price vs Market
$23,003 is a Great Deal against $22.7k–$23.9k comps for 2019 LTs with ~100k miles.
★★★★★

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.
★★★★★

One owner, no accidents claimed — but 62k miles in ~2 years suggests heavy use. Verify yourself.

No price is published for this Yukon — not on the listing, not on any aggregator. That is its own red flag: you cannot value what they will not price. What we can value is the risk: 120,079 miles on the 8L90 8-speed, the transmission that defines 2015–2017 Denali complaint boards — shuddering, slipping, failures clustering right around 100k. The 6.2L brings AFM lifter complaints and 20 NHTSA engine complaints averaging ~91k miles, plus magnetic ride shocks that are wear items at this age. Three NHTSA recalls apply and completion on this VIN is unknown. A clean-looking Denali advertised ‘No Accidents!’ — with no price, and a transmission sitting in its failure window.
Price vs Market
No published price, so there is nothing to compare against $20k–$23k comps. A dealer that hides the price gets no benefit of the doubt.

$18,987
Miles not published · 3.6L V6 4WD · 18/25 MPG
Moose’s Verdict
$18,987. Solid Jeep, hidden number.
Credit where it’s due: the 2020 is a late WK2, and most of the Grand Cherokee’s old demons — TIPM gremlins, the finicky early 8-speed — were ironed out by this year. The 3.6L Pentastar is a proven workhorse. But the price isn’t published anywhere — not on the dealer site, not on any aggregator — and a vehicle you can’t price isn’t a deal you can judge. Per house rules, a hidden price is an automatic MOOSE lean. Make them publish the number, pull the history, and inspect the air-suspension compressor and Uconnect before anything else.
Price vs Market
$18,987 — impossible to rate against the $17k–$20k market for similar-mile 2020 Limiteds.
