Sold one to CARVANA!

After having my car listed 45+ days on the market privately and lowering my price a few times, I tracked KBB values for my car on Carvana and clicked submit when they were highest. With the market adjustment, got $800+ on top of the KBB value, which put me within $300 of my private asking price. Truck showed up, signed 2 papers, got a check, and then the car was loaded up. Guy didn’t even inspect it. Easiest process ever, and my first time not selling private party- definitely was worth it.

Now it’s MINI Cooper time!

How do you keep track of kbb at carvana? Don’t you need to resubmit the appraisal if you want to see the latest price?

On the Carvana appraisal page, there’s a link that you push to take you to the KBB site where they get their numbers. I just kept refreshing the KBB page to see if it went up- the meter shows a range, and the “trade in value” by the black dot is what they use for the base price. Once it hit $12k and change, I resubmitted my appraisal, to which they used that new number and added the market adjustment to. Not bad!

Love the FA5 Si. Miss mine so much. How many miles did you have and what was the Carvana price?

How much of a difference should there be between a dealership payoff and a leaseholder payoff? I called Subaru/Chase and they said only a $5.00 difference. Does that sound right? Thanks.

Realistically the difference would only be tax unless someone manufactures tack on fees.

My FB6 was my favorite car :blush: Just hit 60k before selling, $13203 Carvana price, I had it listed $13.5k with no true hits.

Anyone know how to track and see how much carvana is listing the car for that you sold

You should be able to just search for your car on their website…

By using model/year? Mine doesn’t show up,

Been about 3 weeks since I sold it to them

I tried selling my 2016 Passat R Line with 30k miles (mint condition) but Carvana, Car Max and Vroom all offered me about $1k under buyout.

Rode the last 2 months out of the lease and just got my final settlement bill ( just the $350 disposition fee) and walked away .

Would’ve been happy had they just given me buyout price to avoid disposition fee but didn’t happen. I guess VW real values just suck…

Search the VIN. If it’s not listed, they’re reconditioning it, just haven’t listed it yet, or sent it to auction.

Yup no result on vin marked it as email me when Availible so maybe in a month or so if not auction

Mine showed up almost 2 months later.

We sold a car to them on 4/15. Finally listed last weekend 6/2 so almost two months. It seems like they do things differently compared to Vroom. I assume that Carvana may wait until they receive title whereas Vroom lists prior to. Many complaints in the past that Vroom had done that (sold without ability to actually title to new owner).

just got an offer yesterday on my 17 Ram Rebel 1500 - sent in all docs, waiting for call to schedule pickup - got $2100 coming to me - truck is currently on lease thru a credit union - and due at end of January.

They do love rams, I sold them my beat to shit 13 1500 that had 86,000 miles on it, rusting bodywork (never buying an FCA vehicle to hold onto for a long time), several large dents in the tailgate and bed side (was actually used as a truck after all) and they gave me $17,700. I bought the thing for $22k 4 years and 45,000 miles prior. Not a terrible deal.

Carvana trade in value link to KBB is different than when I go to KBB on my own.

Almost $1,700 difference

Carvana KBB: $36,299
KBB: $37,957

had similar difference

Quick question for the people who dealt with Honda Financial Service and Carvana: Is it enough to send them the screenshot of the payment plan or do I need to do something different? I can’t get the payoff for a dealer via the website/phone. I guess they have to fax it to Carvana.
