  • How accurate kbb value for a 2023 sx-prestige x-pro is? (5k miles, still smells like new, fully loaded, no rear entertainment system) – not looking to sell, just want to track the value.
    I would check a few other sites (carvana.com, edmunds.com, allcars.com ) to compare what they say. Source: 10 months ago
  • New car
    I'll bite. Cars.com? carvana.com? I think figure out what car you wanna buy first, then ask for dealership recommendations, no? :-). Source: 11 months ago
  • Lease vs buying for a short-term car
    For used buying, I picked a Toyota Corolla LE 2018 with 53k miles which is listed for $19k on carfax.com . I am assuming that this car OTD when I go and talk to the dealership will be $22k. Next, I plugged in the VIN of this car in carvana.com mentioned miles as 70k and got a quote. The offer was just under $12k. So the cost over 1.5 years is $10k, which works out to $555. Note that this doesn't include the... Source: over 1 year ago
  • Rav4 2022 prime. Was I ripped off?
    I don't know how long it'll take for this too cool down. It hasn't yet afaik (check carvana prices), but likely will with recession and covid wrapping up. 5-6 years ago you could get away with way below MSRP, but getting back to that may also take a while. You could also buy a used car for $500, but that doesn't seem to happen anymore. Source: over 1 year ago

  • Anyone ever buy vandalized/light damage cars from an auction?
    I have bought and sold on Copart and iaai.com and truthfully it is very hit and miss with the majority being misses. I was aiming at light/medium body or mechanical damage. Source: 5 months ago
  • 60 month financing at 150 per month at 11% on 2007 Prius with 120,000 miles, single owner, no accidents?
    I've had luck going to the insurance auctions around the country and finding deals on the Prius's for 30-40% of blue book value. The best deals are the repos and theft recoveries bc there is usually no damage. I've also see many with just a loose bumper cover that are totaled, or hail damage on cars that are in excellent running condition. Check them out at iaai.com. Source: 7 months ago
  • Great while I had her. Hit and run driver as she was parked overnight, about 1:45am Dec 29th.
    Just make sure your insurance company is paying out what they should. You can check out iaai.com and put in 2018 Honda Accord Sport and look under ACV and that is what the insurance company paid out. Around 24k is the average. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Why did MPI move their auctions to a third party site with a registration fee?
    The auction site is managed and owned by Insurance Auto Auctions in Westchester IL. (This is all public info if you look up the domain iaai.com). Source: about 2 years ago

    Lastly in regards to safety. The F15 is a tank. Crash ratings and tests are all outstanding for it. (https://www.nhtsa.gov/vehicle/2018/BMW/X5/SUV/AWD) Aside from these tests, the best way to tell how 'tough' a car is, to visit a website like copart.com or iaai.com and see crashed examples of them. You will see just how well the interior cabin held up during an accident. Source: about 2 years ago
