    Found a Offroad in quicksand loaded with everything 19000 miles for 31000... but, it’s on vroom... read some horror stories about them... only the second truck I’ve found with those options tho. I’m tempted.

    Unless you can verify those options in person. I wouldn't take the risk.

    Looks like you have 7 days/250 miles to decide if you want to keep it. However, if you don't keep it, you don't get the delivery fee refunded, which is 600 dollars.

    I'd buy a vehicle in person, I don't feel the need to use an app for everything.
    $31k would have me shopping new, considering it has nearly 2 years of miles on it (year not listed in post).

    whats Vroom, as mentioned sound like a automatic vacuum. Except one that is smearing dog shit around your living room as you day-dream about truck from work?

    ok here we go-
    I bought a work van on Vroom- the pictures looked great, they said carfax was clean, car arrived to my front yard pretty cool eh?
    then I had the 7 days 250 miles to check it out. right off I noticed some difference in the paint on one side and on closer inspection could see the bondo was on there ( sanding marks). Now granted I knew this was a used car going into the deal but I felt decived as they said clean car fax report. Which does not mean that the repair was ever reported to them so cant trust them on that one..
    That being said I kept the van and it has preformed flawlessy for me for 50000+ miles and still going strong and is saving me alot of gas $$'s. The flaws were minor enough for me to ignore them as it is a work van and looks good and you would have to get pretty close to see the minor flaws- but they are there. Now would I buy from them again- NO-

    I think there is some background psychology that once we have a vehicle in our possesion we get used to it and most likey will not take the time to return it. Its like those commercials for "sleep for 100 days and return if you dont like it" we just get used to it and accept it .

    Yeah it’s hard to spend 31000 and wait 2 weeks and then get a car with flaws.. that’s when the nightmares start it seems

    Yea at that price point I would most definitely need to see it first. If you do go for it inspect it before they even take it off the delivery truck.

    That's cute but a new OR loaded msrp is ~39k.

    If the truck actually exists and is in excellent condition, $31k considering it has less than 20k miles is a decent deal and substantial savings over new. I would have considered such a truck if it had been a manual and available when I was looking.
