I prefer to buy clean as driven.

Bought the little lady an Outlander privately last week, 2016, 2.4l 4wd ZK LS in white with 90k's on it for $14k. Had been his Wifes daily so a few food stains on the seats, few scuff marks around boot, scuff panels, glovebox lid you expect from kids/prams.
Dealers are asking $20-25k for the same car, currently in at a detailers for a full detail at $300.
Off topic, but crazy to think in 2015 we bought a an AWD 2010 Outlander for $12,000 with 100km on it. Prices have gone insane on used dailys. It's at 280,000km now and only issue it's had in the whole time is a clock spring. Besides normal servicing nothing has been replaced, no even any bushes have needed doing. Wish i could say the same about my falcons needing zero maintenance.
