CARVANA

It's a good appraisal, some items that my truck has were not available to be plugged in. ie, mud guards, electronic tailgate lock, wheel locks, bed lights. I will have to think it over now. If I sell now I will have to wait until end of year to get another Tacoma at a decent price, but I can get a OR.

 

You're not kidding. I'm deployed in place right now helping with covid so I can't go anywhere and get a new vehicle. I also have to drive 200 miles to drop the vehicle off.

My hands are tied... maybe the deal will stick around or maybe I'll miss out. Fortunately I'm very happy with my truck as is and the price I got it for (private sale).

 

If your heart is set on the OR that you dont currently have and you really wish you got it every day when you see your truck and can live without 1 for little then I say, why not.good luck on your decision

 

$30,600 in L.A. for my 2017 TRD OR. I'm good.

 

I’ll play; 2018 TRDOR DCSB w/35k miles. MSRP $39k and out the door at ~$35k. Carvana: $32,315.

 

Buy a kid a car? Isn't that what bagboy, cashier, stocking jobs and saving their money is for?

 

It all depends on the kid. My youngest got a full ride to school and a paid for new Hyundai when she graduated. She’s responsible, gainfully employed, did her masters on her own dime when she decided her degree choice didn’t meet life needs. No regrets. Oldest: I had to take her high school car back when she stopped going to college. She sorted herself out eventually and is in a really good place now like the youngest.

 

I just put my truck through their sight and got 36k for a 2019 offroad with 15k miles. That is crazy. That is what i paid for my truck after tax title and license brand new

 

Midwest. My truck has low miles. Obviously I won't be selling it to Carvana.
Seems they just took the KBB value and added a whopping $15 as a local market premium.

 

What was the base and the market premium? Just curious.

Over here on the Space Coast, my market premium was $1500 for my 17 Sport.

 

They quoted me 19,980 for my 19’ double cab sr5 with 11,000 miles.
Did they do any deductions on their estimates for yours? On mine they subtracted 6,000 dollars for mechanical defects.
Also they subtracted 3500 for local market

 

For fun they offered 27680 on mine, I paid 27,800. I couldn't select blazin blue pearl though, I am sure it is worth a extra 120 bucks because it is the best color. Lol.

 

Inventories are down, but demand is still strong. A dealer friend told me wholesale prices on 4x4 trucks went up $3k recently.

 

Seriously. I thought parents buying their kids cars was something made up for American TV shows.

 

Carvana will buy my 17 Sport with P&T for $34,500 which is great and my local dealer has a 2020 Sport with P&T but they went up in price so no thanks and I love my truck .

 

I got an offer of 21K for my truck as is and 25K with it returned to stock. If I returned it to stock and sold all my mods, I'd be down a couple grand or so, not bad but way too much work.

 

This kid, worked multiple jobs at the same time in High School to pay for my busted a** first car and my own college even having a 4.0, and parents were not poor by any means, just different parenting styles I guess.

 

You and me partner! $625 worth of busboy tip money (talked down from $695) for a '72 El Camino.

 

That's a sweet first ride my dude. $3200 1995 Ford Taurus GL green w/green cloth interior baby, lol, was always easy to spot in the school parking lot filled with new Civics, Ford Rangers, WRXs, etc.

 

I was busboy at the Holiday Inn and my first car was a 70 Charger . Partners lol .
