I ran my Maverick XL Ecoboost AWD 4K tow through Carvana's website to see what they would offer me.
More than $11,000 more than i paid for it. Should I sell?

Trying to figure out how you got an Ecoboost AWD for $22k to start with.

This makes no sense, my dad ran his 2023 Maverick lariat hybrid w/368 miles through carvana and they offered $31,000.

I replied to the OP in this thread #36 entry with:

Your math is way way off because if you take $33,163 and subtract $11,000 you get $22,163 as the out-the-door price for a Maverick EcoBoost AWD XL with the 4k tow package.

From the August 2021 price list :

XL $19,995
adding AWD $3,305
adding 4K Tow Package $745
Destination and Delivery Charge $1,495

Total is $25,540

Now add in the Florida sales tax of 6% ($1,532.40), the sky high Florida document fee of $995 and other fees of $77 and $248

https://caredge.com/guides/car-dealer-doc-fee-by-state

and you get the real out the door price of $28,392.40

So that $11,000 that you thought was over what you paid for is more like $4,770.60
OP responded with:

I did way better on price than the numbers you used. You are right about tax, tag and title costs.
So my guess is magic beans lowered the price

What if you are retired?
Add the 11k to your taxable income. Depending on your total income your tax rate will be 0,10,12,etc% of the income bracket your taxable income falls in. For Instance my VA disability is non taxable. Plus other like couple filing jointly pays 10% on income only over a certain amount. So if the 11k added to your income is still less than "the certain amount" you will not incur a tax but it could be as high as 37% if you are in that bracket. Ask your tax guy.

Might be because you have a 2023. Yes i did on another car a couple years ago.
Because the computer could not find a certain number of recent sales for that car IN YOUR ADEA. Could also happen for a three year old car.

When inflation is high this poop happens.
10% more could actually be break even!

Don't forget, the IRS generally requires you to pay capital gains on that $11K
Wait. Is this true? You pay capital gains on a fucking car?

What if he were to spend the gains on a replacement vehicle?
In Georgia and probably other states, if you buy another car you can apply the proceeds from the sell against your newer car Title Ad Valorem Tax. But no, you can deduct it from your federal income tax.

There was a guy that just posted about getting an over 40k offer from carmax I think it was on his XL hybrid. I could be wrong maybe it was a XLT/Lariat.
I unfortunately can’t find the post anymore but it was just a couple weeks ago.
I couldn’t believe his offer.

That same post I believe someone mentioned that the lariat might go up to that price for 2024.
Wish I could find that post again.

Wait. Is this true? You pay capital gains on a fucking car?
You owe capital gains taxes on any item which you sell for a net gain. Consult your tax professional for advice in your specific state and financial situation, including guidance on what expenses count toward how much you've put into the object. Doesn't matter if it's stocks, cars, houses, or what have you, if you get more than you spent when you sell, that's income.

Almost never comes up with vehicles as depreciation is generally quite steep.
