2012 Toyota RAV4 Base

Owners selling privately get 24% to 28% less than dealers ask for the same trim, year and mileage. The low end is how the big pricing guides value a private sale (what buyers pay dealers, less a private-party discount); the high end is what private sellers’ asking prices and private-party sales show. A trade-in usually fetches less still.

Priced as Base: 72 of the 77 cars we’ve seen with this VIN pattern are. Median of 35 final asking prices of this trim & year (listings that ended), adjusted to 237k mi ($7,099 nationally), its history (1 accident −1.6%) and where it is (Texas −4.2%).

Accident, owner and title flags as reported in listings — not a full vehicle history report.
