Okay fellow DXP'ers, hoping for some advice. My car after 16 years and 330000kms now requires a complete engine (mechanic is still sourcing).. in the meantime I'm looking for a relatively newish used car.

I've got my heart set on the 2015 RAV 4 2WD Automatic Petrol 2.0L and the asking price is $ 26900 (Australian Dollars).. what price would you think is a reasonable offer..? Car has under 20k on the odometer.

Cheers,

What price would be reasonable?...that depends on the the car, any dents? how is the interior? any mechanical issues(probably slim though if its a 2015) ect.

It's a used car, in very good condition still under new car warranty...no dents.

Dealership or private owned?

Dealership. As there were no 2015 RAV 4 for sale privately.

Yeh I checked Carsguide -looks like 26 is pretty reasonable, for that year and low ks...

Maybe offer 23 if the other dealer can't come to the table.

I offered $ 24k and no takers ๐Ÿ˜ข.. I tried to get an online valuation from Toyota for a trade in on a non existing 2015 RAV 4 just to see what they buy it in at and was advise to bring the vehicle so they can inspect for a proper valuation ๐Ÿ˜„ ๐Ÿ˜„.. I guess they saw through my ruse ๐Ÿ˜›
