Carvana offered me 26,600 for my car. Update: Carvana just offered me $27k

[Rock&Roll]

KBB says $31,904. Seems pretty high maybe IDK. Is it really worth that much $ ???

29k miles basically stock Premium GT manual 3.30 gears with NAV and Shaker Sound.
Cars is clean and garaged for 9 years. Only real upgrade is MBRP Street Exhaust. Hood Struts, Steeda Clutch Spring and a JLT Catch Can so its pretty stock



It's tempting only because I don't really drive it much but I do love the car. I take her out 1 time a week for. half hour. Sometimes it's a chore. Every time I drive it I fall in love with it again. My daily is a GTI. I'm a musician and a Grandpa with a dog. The GTI just work's better for those 3 things.


Anybody use Carvana ? I have a friend that sold a Mustang to Carvana and he said it was super easy.



Pretty good considering I paid 37k for the car in august 2016 . New ones are pricy Wow.

I have used Carvana several times. Carvana offers the auction price for cars they offer to buy. They usually try for 20% on resale. So offering you 26k and then selling it for 31k on their site lines up.

Also try Driveway.com. They have always offered me the most money for my cars.

I've sold a car to Carvana and it was a very easy experience. If you decide to sell it to them and have a location nearby you'll drive there and they'll ask to test drive the car (go with them). After the test drive they'll give you a check for the amount that it was appraised for online and offer to buy you an uber home. If you don't have a location nearby, they'll send a driver with a Carvana branded tow truck to your home to pick the car up and give you the check. One of the best car sales experiences I've had.

If you have a CarMax near you check what they will offer you. We just sold my wife’s car to CarMax and they offered us about $3,000 more than Carvana or any other dealership I checked with. It was a super easy transaction as well.

I have base 21 gt with A10 plus spare tire for options. Carvana offered me 31, 200 about a month ago. Based on 21000 miles, I have 6000 miles only.

I bought a 2013 Boss 302 6 months ago from Carvana with 4000 miles and it was mint. I just sold my 19 GT to them and both experiences were excellent.

Before accepting any dealer offers to buy it toss it up on FB marketplace. Write up a really good listing and mention things like maintenence, etc... Get really good pictures just as the sun starts to set in the evening so the lighting is good. Make sure to get pics with a nice background.

You never know, someone may give you 29k for it.

I think you really have to find a value of what it is worth dealing with FB Marketplace users/spam/thieves. I'd pay 2k to not have to deal with that bs.

Same. I listed my GT on there about 8 months ago just to see. I got hundreds of tire kickers, low ballers, and trashy trade offers. Total waste of time.

come on. I offered you a left hand set of ladies golf clubs and a 1 of 1 87 Honda Civic for your car. And you didn't even reply back....

I feel your pain here as well....

Haha exactly. It also helped me decide i am keeping the car long term. It looks great, well modded, low miles, paid off. Hard to beat that.

If you have something special, then put it on bring a trailer. Else, just sell it to Carvana, CarMax, Driveway, etc...

I sold my wife's subaru on FB last year. It sold in a matter of days and sold for more than I was hoping for.

But I agree, there's a point where your time is worth more. Perhaps a mustang attracts a different demographic of buyer than a subaru?
