Anyone try their luck selling on Carvana, Vroom, etc.?

I got a totally unexpected offer for my Transit Connect. More than a dealer would probably sell it for. $3000 more than my Ford dealer offered as a trade-in! doesn't do me much good though since i have been waiting in silence for 4 months now for my build and I'm not feeling it's going to happen anytime soon. In fact, if I can get my hands on a SC limited trim for MSRP (doubtful) I'm going for it. If my TC holds it's value a bit longer it will help compensate for the SC's much higher price

I don't expect used trade-in/sale values to dip any time soon. Back during the initial surge in offers from online/carmax/etc, I was excited! There was a clear dip in the summer as those who could do without a vehicle took advantage. Now, everyone that could do that (sell an unused/unneeded vehicle) has done so! What is left are used vehicles belonging to owners that need a replacement - that is a much more limited market. As a result, dealers/wholesalers need to offer more to both to entice people to sell, and to keep the inventory flowing.

My 2019 Ranger went from $35K offers, down to $32-33K - literally the week before my truck arrived those started to spike - ended up selling to Carvana for over $37k.

The benefit most of us all have from this, is we are buying a brand new truck that is priced at an amount generally seen as an excellent value. Those buying at MSRP (or better with a couple volume dealers) are making out like bandits.

That won't be changing any time soon, certainly not between now and when your truck is delivered!

Can you cancel the acceptance of the offer?

Not sure, I didn't sign any documents, or get paid yet.

I'm probably doing better than many. Getting it for $500 over invoice OTD, and no multi-hundred dollar paper fee since I'm going to do the paperwork myself at the DMV. Not bad for a Lariat Lux in the current market

First one I found on Carmax site. AWD, tow pkg and lux pkg

That’s what people thought about the bronco now look at the prices!!!!!!!

That’s an entirely different animal. The bronco is a capable off-road vehicle. This is an economy pick up truck. I love it and can’t wait to have one but no one’s paying 20K over sicker for a maverick. Well I’m sure they’ll be somebody but not that many

Just talking to a dealer on the shoreline Connecticut,rolled a Maverick off the truck and asked 7500 over and got it no problem…

Still ain’t bronco prices. I’ll be surprised if people here start making much more than a net profit of 5k on their mavericks. That lariat lux from car max was probably 33-34 before taxes. Factor in a destination fee? That person probably netted 4K. How are people buying a new car that hard up for a few thousand dollars.

Vroom offered me 28k for my hybrid. I'm 24k otd.l including taxes.

Lol Vroom offered me 14k for my Lariat

On Dec 5 Vroom offered me 23,000 for my 31,000 MSRP ecoboost, XLT, lux pkg, AWD…drove home from dealer, plastic on seats, 31 miles on odometer!!!!!

The question I would ask is why would you walk away from 3k or 4K, when you could just order another& wait a few months and see if there’s any recall issues.

Sounds about right. I’m glad their maverick prices caught up with the market. Was worried for a minute.

Went to Carmax for an appraisal on my XLT with Luxury Pkg, 30 Assist, Full sized spare, manual sliding window and roll up tonneau cover. The appraisal came back at 25k. The salesman said Carmax may be conservative because there is not much info on the used car market for Mavericks. Vroom offered 28500. I was surprised they were so high because in the past their prices are usually lower than Carmax.

because it’s only 3-4K, like the guy above said for starters. To add to his comment, you have no idea if you are going to be able to get your hands on another line for the same price either. In the end you may just screw around And lose a year for the dream of 5k. Which if you need that 5k that bad you can’t afford a 32k vehicle id argue. I’m going to wire a generator on Sunday for 2k cash. If you were getting 10-20 extra or more like full-size bronco owners I’d say have at it
