Do not know how much BS was involved but I read somewhere that 1966 tremor EB's & another 1966 Hybrids were all that were to be built with allocations to be issued with one to each dealer retail order then allocations through the dealers for #2 ordered until all production is filled. Who knows but they be all ordered rather quickly, I expect.
Why? Trying to understand the difference between this and someone driving to an orchard buying a bunch of apples and then selling them in town. Its business. Not trying to argue, I would really like to understand why buying a truck and reselling it is wrong?
To me it's not about the flipping. It's the taking a vehicle away from a person who has an order in at MSRP so you can flip one. Not illegal, not even wrong really in my opinion. If I met someone doing it in person, I'd shake their hand, offer a beer, and have a little debate.
Yeah, sort of like hoarding I guess. If you buy up all the toilet paper and stash it then it creates a shortage for others?
What makes you think Carvana or Vroom are gonna even pay you what you paid for the vehicle you're selling? If anything the used market seems to be getting softer as we speak.
We recently sold a Ford Edge to Carmax @ 32k, they had it on the site for 35k for a full week before dropping it to 31k, in which it then lasted just days. Seems so bizarre to me that they offered us more than we originally paid, then sold it for 1k less than they had just cut us a check for. I have no idea of their business model, but I think their offers and for sale prices are 100% set by robots, not actual human beings. I seriously don't see CarMax, Carvana, Vroom and the likes being around all that long. Wasn't it Carvana that lost its ability to sell in Illinois recently?
At this point a straight RNG lottery would just be less hassle and at least fair. That's what some retailers have been doing for constrained items like Playstation 5s or high-end graphics cards when selling them at MSRP.
