Red Flags
2 red flags detected — review before calling
Accident reported on title
A collision was recorded in January 2021 while the vehicle was registered in Florida. Structural damage severity cannot be confirmed from the history report alone — an independent inspection is essential.
Asking price 9% above fair market
Based on 47 comparable listings in FL and GA, the fair market midpoint is $22,400. At $24,500, the seller is asking a $2,100 premium with no apparent justification.
Owner History
Original purchaser. Normal mileage accumulation. One accident reported (Jan 2021). No structural write-off.
Private buyer in GA. Clean ownership — no accidents, no title issues. Below-average annual mileage.
Vehicle re-entered FL market via dealer. 1,532 transport and prep miles added. Listed for 47 days.
Recall Status
The fuel pump impeller may deform over time, restricting fuel flow and causing engine hesitation, rough running, or unexpected stall. In rare cases the engine may not restart.
Remedy: Replace the fuel pump assembly. No charge to the vehicle owner.
STATUS: OPEN — not yet repaired on this vehicle

Negotiation Playbook
Walk in with a plan. These five moves give you maximum leverage on this specific car:
Open at $22,000
That's $400 below the fair market midpoint — a credible low anchor. You have data (47 comparables) to back it up. Say: "The market data I'm working from puts this car at $22,400. I'd like to start at $22,000."
Cite the accident on title
"There's a 2021 accident on the title and I don't have the repair record yet. That's worth $1,500–$2,500 off a clean-title comparable. Show me the body-shop invoice and I'll reconsider."
Cite the 9% premium
Pull up the comparable listings: "47 similar CR-Vs in the region averaged $22,400. At $24,500, you're asking a $2,100 premium — what specifically justifies that on this car?"
Make the recall a condition of sale
"I'll sign today if you fix NHTSA recall #20V-561 (fuel pump) before delivery, at your cost, and give me the NHTSA completion record." This is a legal remedy — they cannot charge you for it.
Target: $21,500–$22,500
Your realistic landing zone given the accident + open recall + 47 days on lot (motivated seller). If they won't move below $24,000, walk. At 47 days listed, they'll call you back.
Paperwork Checklist
Before you sign anything or hand over a check, make sure you have every item below:
Vehicle title (original, signed over to you)
Confirm it's a clean title — not salvage, rebuilt, or lemon-law buyback.
Bill of sale (signed by both parties)
Must itemize the agreed price, VIN, and any conditions (e.g. 'recall repaired before delivery').
VIN verification (physical inspection)
Check that the dashboard VIN plate, door-jamb sticker, title, and history report all match.
Odometer disclosure statement
Federally required in the U.S. Seller declares the mileage is accurate to their knowledge.
Accident repair invoice (2021 incident)
Ask for the body-shop invoice from the 2021 repair. No invoice = additional price leverage.
NHTSA recall completion record
Ask the dealer to provide the repair order showing the fuel pump recall (#20V-561) was completed.
Proof of insurance (your name, this VIN)
Required in FL to drive off the lot. Have coverage confirmed before you arrive.
Lien release letter (if applicable)
If the seller had a loan on the vehicle, get written proof the lien is fully cleared.
