I was looking at getting a used SUV as a second vehicle for my dog that I\u2019ll be getting in a few months and trips to the mountains. (Giant breed, messy and don\u2019t really want my daily driver wrecked)<\/p>\n
I was just hoping for a 15 year old CRV or RAV4, and was shocked to learn that anything that isn\u2019t filled with rust or has less than 350,000km is selling for $10-12K\u2026 these were $5-6K pre covid.<\/p>\n
Guess I\u2019m just going to have to deal with the mess. But out of curiosity, I thought I\u2019d check how much I could get if I sold my car (2020 Prius Prime that I bought in Feb 2020 for just under 40K brand new). Turns out, I can get 5-6K MORE than what I paid, on a car that is now 2.5 years old with 40,000km on it.<\/p>\n
The used car market is so messed up right now and I feel terrible for anyone who is forced to pay these insanely inflated prices.<\/p>\n
Edit: Spend $5K on a used vehicle that your dog can travel in, or have pet odour\/damage devalue your daily driver by $5K? I choose the former, so sue me \ud83e\udd37\u200d\u2642\ufe0f – at $12K it\u2019s not worth it.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
