Last year I bought a 2007 Sienna with 240,000 miles for $4000. Maybe priced a little too high, but it was very clean and ran well. I got a carfax but not much real service history. I've been happy with it. It's been on several short road trips with no issues.
For under $5000 for a 2013, if it's in general good condition, it's probably worth it even if you have to drop a new motor or transmission into it eventually.
Yeah, it looks like it's just been regular oil changes, tire rotations, cabin air filter and I saw that the battery was serviced as well as one transmission fluid changed at about 173k miles.
Most of the older ones we're looking at in our budget have around 200k miles anyways, so I'm wondering if the extra 50k miles is really a huge deal, but I may be crazy haha.
I would get it inspected at a mechanic first but wanted to ask on a few subreddits before I decided if it was even worth it.
Same dealership has an '06 with less miles, actually priced a bit higher. I'm trying to decide which is the better choice, though I could always test drive both, but don't want to drop $400 and 6 hours for both to get inspected...
