I usually keep an eye on SHOs for sale as I’m always in the market to trade into a better deal. This cars price seems too good to be true unless it’s a lemon or the company is into some shifty stuff. Actual location is Florida I believe and they deliver their cars I guess. There’s also a ‘16 in blue jeans I believe for a little over 20k

Maybe it’s more my market but I tend to see the low end on a car like that at around 25-26

I went down this rabbit hole yesterday, still trying to not buy a newer SHO by looking at them for sale around the country. The offlease website I went to directly and hit the carfax on several--mostly SHO's. Every carfax report I looked at had at least one accident reported. The amount of damage could be small or large but I wan't going to buy one hoping for the best.

Woody Sander that's cute. 92k miles is alot on this power-train without knowing how it was treated. I would look for a better price and an independent inspection.

The first one is intriguing but I can't see a vehicle history report and I would want to spend time behind the wheel and independent inspection. The 200k warranty they offer is interesting although it does not apply to this vehicle.

2015s were selling for low 20s in fall (buddy's son bought a lease return), and numerous business articles have talked about the tsunami of lease returns coming up in the next year. Which, combined with higher interest rates, are going to hammer used car prices.

I suspect that it's already happening.

In 2016 I bought my '11 SHO w/9k miles for $20k and came with a 4yr/50k mile warranty and the car was flawless and never left the original dealerships hand due to it was a demo vehicle. Good deals are always out there somewhere but like most say you got to know all the background of the vehicle to know if it is truely a good deal or not.

That off lease place always has the cheapest SHOs on cars.com, eBay, etc. I’m always wary when something’s the cheapest. There’s usually a reason. I looked at a few of theirs online but stayed away when I bought mine.

WOW! Look at that 2015 silver one - 92,000 miles? Holy smokes! My 2014 has only 45,000 and I drive a lot.

Yeah well they never put that in the carfax. I would be careful. Like I posted above every vehicle's carfax I went through on that website had an accident listed. I'd be too scared to risk it. Carfax isn't very precise but I don't like rust so almost any accident pop on carfax makes me walk. As does many years of ownership in salt country
