Is Vroom a Safe way to Sell

[AeroF16]

Just did some quick math because it was bothering me. My tax saving on trading is equivalent to me getting $50,0000 in trade. Still $3900 but a little less sting.

Is the deal done already? I've taken a Carvana offer into a dealer before to get them to up their value on my trade. They didn't match the offer but they upped their value enough that the increase plus the tax savings made it a break even for me.

Decided to see what happened to my 'Hawk that Givemethevin gave me $79K for.
It's now for sale in Oklahoma for a paltry $97,5K.

Okay, so the market is nuts. I knew that. But why pay that much when a new one can be ordered for about $82K. Oh well, I still got about $4K more than I paid for it.

Yep, I saw my truck for sale on Carvana for around $3k more than they paid me for it.

I don't know what they got for my car. I saw the ad that it was "Coming Soon" and by the time I went back to check on it, I guess it was already sold because the ad was gone.

Neither of my old vehicles lasted very long on Carvana. I do tend to take care of my things, so I'm sure that helped.

Just glad I kept the catch can off the old F150 so I could put it on the new F150

I can't find my 1500. Guess it's at a Ram dealer since it had every open recall known to man.
And it was quite a few.

My F150 had an open recall and the ad on Carvana acknowledged that and had a link to read about it for the prospective buyer. have no idea who bought it, but they did get a good truck and the recall won't cost them anything. So I can sleep well at night.

 

[Jimmy N.]

...they did get a friggin' Furd. So I can't believe that I can sleep at night.

There, I fixed it for you.

Well.....it did have the correct number of doors to be able to be put into service right away

Unless you are just looking to sell it may be good but if you are going to replace it you may be paying more for the new one. I was in the Dodge dealership today and a few weeks ago Dodge pulled all the incentives. Salesman was saying how the last 5 years Dodge has been doing big incentives on their cars and that is one reason you see so many on the road. With the market the way it is things are changing right now. Last year they were lots of used Scat Packs for sale for 30K. Most I found now are 35K.
It is like selling your house for a profit but paying too much for the next one you are buying

In my case, I sold a truly boring '14 Ram 1500 and a '20 'Hawk which netted me $102,600. Then I ordered a TRX which is a good (actually much better for me) combination of the two.

It'll cost me about $70K, so I'll be some $32K ahead. Not all bad, I think.

no wonder yer girlfriend keeps you around...

 

[Jimmy N.]

I did hood on the 'Hawk, maybe okay on the 1500, and will do good on the TRX.
Of course, I already spent the 32K on a car to drive until the new 1500 shows up...which I'll likely keep.

OK .. That I would post the final ending to the Redeye sale to Vroom. Took exactly a month from starting the process to a check in hand. The 76k was 11k over what I had paid for the car and if I wanted to get into a 21 I could have done so for 70k. I am talking a narrow body car here.They had put my car on there site for 81k but I see today it is done to 77k .We will see what happens to there pricing after a week . I have two sets of wheels I am going to be selling shortly .The American Racing custom built VN425 set and the Forgestar drag set with M/T tires. Keep looking for these shortly.

Just wanted to fill everyone in on the Vroom sale of the Redeye narrow body. They had given me 76k for it and the last time I checked it is a sale pending at 73.5 k. Nobody will no what the final number is but they lost 2.5k on it at least. Took awhile to sell it to.I have fun with the wife's Scat Pack Charger and paid cash for a 2021 Rebel truck so all is good for now. But yes I do mis the Challenger and just not sure when to pull the trigger again on getting another one.
