Anything you think you are looking at on Craigslist 2006 or newer with that mileage at that price is a scam of some kind or has serious issues. Your resale math of only losing $300 in 2 years can actually work at any price point if you get a good enough deal in the first place and work at selling it later. Basic buy low and sell high.
