A 2016 Jeep Patriot runs about $9,244 in the Canadian market right now. Most of them land between $7,333 and $11,122, so that roughly $3,800 spread is your negotiating room. Anything at the low end usually carries higher mileage or needs work, and the top end is for the cleanest examples with paperwork to match.
The typical car on the market shows around 157,500 km. Keep that number in your head when you look at a listing. A Patriot sitting well under it should command more than the median, and one well over it should cost less.
What mileage does to the price
Every extra 10,000 km knocks roughly $480 off. That's a clean way to sanity-check a price. A Patriot with 200,000 km, about 42,500 km past the median, should sell for something like $2,000 under $9,244 on odometer alone. If a high-kilometre car is priced like a low-kilometre one, you've found your leverage.
We've flagged 13 deals on this year in the last 90 days. That tells you priced-right cars do come up, and you don't have to jump on the first listing you see. Bring the mileage math to the table and let the number do the arguing.
