Considering a 2017 Hybrid Platinum @ 225k miles - am I crazy?

It has had basically perfect maintenance at Toyota dealers every 4-8k miles. 1 owner. No accident history. Listed at $15,700. I would most likely ask the dealer to change spark plugs (was done at 120k but needs done again) and change transmission fluid (drain/refill). I would also ask them about the state of the hybrid battery modules.

I currently have a 2023 Bolt EUV with about 29k miles. Current offers from CarMax/carvana of $19,800 and $20,200. The Highlander would give us a lot more space/utility, though we would have increased gas/maintenance costs, but the trade would knock about $4,000 off of the total auto loan. I feel crazy for considering a trade to a car with 10x the mileage, but the price is hard to ignore and it seems hybrid drivetrain/trans is built very reliably
