What do you think about this 2012 Chevy Cruze?

The dealership told me they would be willing to negotiate a price for the vehicle. If someone could help me with an offer. The car had scratches and dings. They have it priced at $4450. 139k miles.

That price seems pretty high for this car. Did they provide any maintenance records or a Carfax report? That could really influence my offer.

No, they haven’t given me that info. I’ll definitely ask for it.

This car doesn’t look like it was treated well. I suspect it was driven by someone inexperienced or careless, which could mean poor maintenance. Check the Carfax. Maybe a parent or spouse kept it in good shape while the driver didn’t care about the looks. It might have been a commuter car where the owner was more focused on safety than appearance.

If you had to guess, what price would you offer?

If it’s well maintained and has plenty of life left on the brakes and tires, I’d pay the full asking price. But if it’s not taken care of, I’d pass, even at $2500 since it could turn into a money pit.

I’d be cautious about this one. If the outside looks like that, just think about how the previous owner treated the mechanical side. The price seems a bit steep for the mileage and condition.
