Yep, got ghosted after they gave me a written offer. Not just one but 3 dealers
I had a similar situation with an 18 Pacifica about 2 months ago. I was told by Chrysler Capital and dealers that they could not buy the car at the same price as me. The Chrysler dealer attached to the dealer where I bought my new car showed me their buyout which was just shy of $10k higher than my buyout. I attempted to extend the lease to get out of 60 days and was told they would not without a pending order on a Chrysler product.
I ended up cutting Chrysler a check to buy it myself and it took 6 weeks from the day they received my check until I got the title. They issued a transfer title so I had to go to get the title put in my name. Sold it to Carvana and made a profit of about $4500 vs turning it in. The good news is that I made an extra $1500 over my offers when it started which pretty much offset the tax.

Did you already replace your Pacifica with anything? I ended up buying out my Jeep through a local credit union. Carvana/Vroom offers are still very good, but the state of the market for new SUVs (along with a busy middle of summer) has put me off seriously shopping for a replacement so I can pull the trigger on those offers. All signs are that those kind of offers have peaked, but hopefully there will be some sort of happy medium soon where I can still capture some equity in the Jeep without swallowing an atrocious payment for something new. …Which is what I’m sure every other dummy trying to time the market is saying, so I’ll hope for some luck!
I got a CX-9 a little over 2 months ago. It was a decent (not amazing) deal and fit our needs (occasional but not frequent 3rd row usage).
