My car before this was a 1995 Toyota Tercel that I ran up to 155k miles before buying the 2015. The maintenance on the car was becoming too much for me to take on, especially with having a salvage title (dad was a mechanic and did the rebuild + all maintenance which I definitely didn't do upkeep on when I moved...). Car ended up being given to a friend that was in a situation and he put another ~50k on it before finally calling it quits. RIP Tercel.

The CR-V is doing pretty well, but I know the brakes need to be done soon and it needs new tires, which are light fixes. $19k for a rebuy for it is pretty common in my area for it with a clean title and no damage besides regular wear. Private sales seem to be looking at $15-23k depending on all factors, but I don't want the hassle of dealing with a private sale, even if that meant potentially getting more than what the current offer is on it.
