status: rejected
Verdict: Underpriced
- Asking $7,700 vs $14,696 adjusted market value from 14 comps (medium confidence).
- That is 48% under market, above your 20% target.
- Far below every comp: see the car, VIN and title in person before paying anything.
- Mileage 13,948 is 71% below the comps' median 48,000, which supports a higher price.
- Dealer listing: asking prices run about 6% above private sellers and add fees.
Risks
medium Accident history unverified: no report attached
medium No VIN: cannot decode or run a history report
high Asking price far below comparables: common scam pattern, verify in person

Basis: median of 14 adjusted asking-price comps.
Comparables are asking prices, not verified transactions. Title and accident history are unverified unless a report was attached. Market conditions can change over the hold period; this is an estimate, not a guarantee. 13 comps of a different variant (performance/EV/regular) were left out. 2 comp(s) priced far below the rest were excluded as likely bait.
