I got an 2018 Escape 2yrs ago for 19k, 21k after all the bullshit. It had 17k miles on it.

I was having a hard time finding something because almost every dealer I went to wanted me to finance something more expensive, when all I wanted to do was pay cash. Fuck car loans.

I’d say, look for rental or lease returns for your folks. Depends on miles they put on.
