Carvana

I would have tried to talk him down off the ledge from selling a car that beautiful. If he replaces with a Prius, I am calling the state mental hospital.


LOL@ John :D

The Carvana guy gave us that wave and big smile when he drove off. :)

I completely forgot to take pictures of him loading the rollback.:o :rolleyes:

Oh well, time to go shopping. ;)


 
No experience with Carvana, but I bought my current truck from CarMax. Only had 5k on the odo, and compared to comps at regular dealerships, a really good deal. I also sold them my old truck. They offered exactly what I expect to get in trade at a regular dealership, which, of course, is substantially less than you could sell it for to a private party, but without the aggravation. If I were going to buy right now, though, I'd likely buy new, at least for what I'd be looking for. Gently used models are almost as much as new.

My wife traded her Nissan at the Acura dealer for exactly to the dollar what Carmax offered. The advantage at the dealer was saving sales tax on the trade in.

I hate dealing with private sales, and at this point in my life the few dollars gained is not worth having dreamers and vagabonds come look.
 
Great subject

Does anyone know where you can get a price for a vehicle on the net, I've tried up here and they generalize so much and you end up getting a price so out of touch with what you have it doesn't fit, I've tried a couple of your appraisal sites and because I'm up here it's almost apples and oranges.
All I want is to print what I have, mileage, upkeep so on and then take it from there, got three that I'd like to do that with, thanx.
 
I'm somewhat anal about keeping original purchase documents. I had everything for my sold car, the window sticker, the original BOS, front plate bracket(I never used it), service receipts, a nice pictorial album Chevy sent me, (Welcome to the Corvette family thing), brochures, etc.

Carvana only wanted the title and two key fobs, not even the couple hundred page manuals. :eek: I, of course had that, and it was included. Not that I ever read the whole thing ;), but it was there for reference.

I threw everything on the passenger seat, except the service receipts and original BOS. Corvette folks are keen on having all the stuff the car came with, so I tossed it in.

Us Corvette guys and gals love the paper trails, and most would be ecstatic to have everything at purchase. Ask anyone buying a used vette.

The car was never modded, I leave my cars bone stock, no super chargers or tunes. 436hp is plenty.

What Carvana does now, is none of my business of course.
 
A little less than 6 years ago I sold my wife's '07 jeep to carmax and they gave me exactly what I wanted. I'd say less than an hour. Easy.

A lot depends on what you're selling. SUVs and such are hot right now. Sedans? Not so much. (lower gas prices are the biggest factor I see.)

Edit to add, The offer took less than 20 minutes. The rest of the time was clerical. I had a soda and watched Jerry Springer.

The soda is good but you really didn't watch Jerry Springer, did you?
