Used and Repossessed: Run away? 2018 EX.
Vehicle has nearly 20,000 miles. Offered by dealer, but not a Honda dealer for $25,500. Here the history I have and have little hope of finding more. That seems like a big gap in the service records to me. Over 19,000 miles. And Repossessed. So what do you on the forum think? Run away or what? Appreciate help.

you can buy a brand new fully warranteed 2020 ex awd with 0 miles for 29k otd with tax included.
25k for a used one, 20k and a sketchy history seems nuts
that being said mine has 19,500 miles and i’ll sell you it for $24,998 lol
Go look into certified preowned
You can get one way cheaper than 25k with similar mileage
(two random local examples below one with only 11k and an exL)
Even if the vehicle has no history of issues, it's over priced. The seller is pricing it as though it was an EX-L, rather than an EX.
Shop around, you should be able to pick up a Certified Pre Owned 2018 EX for well less than $25K.
As for the vehicle history... you need to consult with a Honda dealer and ask for the maintenance history on the vehicle. If they have none.. walk away... because it either was not maintained, or it was owner maintained (which means you will never be able to find out how well it was maintained.
Only problem is east and west coasts CR-V prices are a lot less than they here in the Great Plains. I can't come near the deals you have there. At least that's what I find on sites like CarGurus. But then, that's the penalty I pay for living out here.

Looking at that. Average trip to city with Honda dealer: One Way- Nearest 95 miles. Next closest, 130. Omaha, 3 and half hours; Denver is 5 hrs one way; KC the same. The "Great Empty" out here.
Have you looked at Carvana?
No. But I am now.
If you want to look at repos, call around to local banks. If you get lucky you can find one you can pick up for a decent price. The bank should be willing to sell for what is owed them. But do the research. Don't go through a bank AND a dealer. Best way to get the best financed deal? Don't buy from a dealer. Get bank financing and buy from an individual. And never, ever buy from any of the big chains, like Carmax, etc. They are always way overpriced. Dealers are too. If financing is the issue, just buy an older used vehicle in good shape for a much lower price, from an individual. Pay cash if possible. I've paid cash for every vehicle and bought only from individuals since 1985. No payments or other charges. No markup. Learned how to shop smart and find good cars for good prices. I've saved a small fortune getting off that merry go round. My '07 CR-V is in as good condition as any used car out there, and will last for years. You won't get a better answer. The simple truth is that financing a new or used car is one of the poorest financial decisions you can make. It locks you into an unwise debt and is exorbitantly expensive. I know it's the American way, but it's not the best way.
Cheap flight + cab + gas n food home > 3k markup
If you do buy from an individual, my suggestion is to have it checked out by a shop or mechanic you trust. Even if it has a state inspection, I would still do this. If the seller objects, I would walk away.
Check Youtube, it has several videos on why to take this extra step.

Since you don't want to travel, why not get a Rav4 from your local dealer. This looks to be in your price range and NEW: New 2019 Toyota RAV4| Hays, Dodge City & Garden City KS
Rav4 is not a CR-V. Only answer I can give you. ;-) But thanks anyway.
