Have you priced vehicle newer by a few years?
There's a point at which price kind of flatlines, in most vehicles its around 10 years. There are around or past that.
Like I said we only paid $5k for an '08 Pathfinder 4 years ago. I know prices are high right now, and inflation is a thing but if it's a DD and mileage bothers you, why not look.
If you're not concerned with a specific feature or model or something, I'm not sure why you would want an older vehicle.
