Sold one to CARVANA!

And then what are you planning on getting after?

I am playing to get a BMW X3 m40i

Hopefully you get a good deal on those. Keep in mind inventory is not that great now on those cars. Just keep an eye out for any deals because I think they are flying off the brokers hands in this forum.

I will try my best. Hopefully I can get one or I’ll settle for a 2021 which I know will lease higher. I wish they would have offered me this amount 2 months ago when they were leasing well and there was inventory.

Is that your payoff or the dealer payoff? The dealer payoff might be lower if that’s not it. Chrysler financial is kind of a pain to get the payout from but they should send it to carvana if you ask. You’ll probably end up plus a decent bit of cash.


This is the email that I got from Chrysler capital. I don’t know if it’s the dealer payoff or my payoff. It says lease payoff so I’m guessing it’s mine but not sure.

Definitely yours because it has the sales tax. It is most likely that without sales tax, I’ve also heard residual value + rent charge but the buyout without sales tax seems to be it for my car based on the number the dealer gave me (bmw financial wouldn’t send it to me).

You also save on disposition fee by selling it.

Thanks for all the help. Just going to wait on @nextlevelautobrokers for my X3 quote then pull the trigger.

Sold to Carvana. LuxeAuto never returned my call/email, but they probably couldn’t beat the Carvana offer anyways.

I received a fairly decent offer for my 2015 Mini Cooper S. However, I put a fairly decent amount of wear on my tires and hit a nasty pothole the other day and had to have one of the tires replaced. Noticing on my turns that it feels like there’s some friction with one of the tires. No sound or anything, but noticeable to me because I know how the car drives.

I’d hate to dump a bunch of money into the car just to sell it. I see from reading the thread that the inspection process is pretty much a breeze. Do they actually take the car to a mechanic after they drive off and can they rescind or stop the check if they find things that need to be fixed/replaced?

Other than that, everything else on the car is 100%

They didn’t even drive my car, so you should be OK. I really doubt they’d check to make sure the tires matched up, so you should be fine there as well.

Hey Guys, need your thoughts with this:

I’ve got a quote from Carvana for my Encore that was better than returning my lease and pay the $495 disposition fee. However they needed dealer lease payoff and not the one for customers which I see in my account. This whole past week I have been contacting GM Financials (GMF) to fax Carvana the dealer payoff, but that didn’t go anywhere! First GMF said the fax didn’t go through (using the 480-378-6443), I got another number from Carvana (866-221-3833). GMF is claiming they have sent fax, but now Carvana is saying they can’t find it! WTH! What should I do?

  1. ask them to email / fax to you, or
  2. ask to do a 3 way conf call with carvana and GMF to all get on the same page

Thanks, GMF says they won’t send it to me. They’d send the dealer payoff only to dealers, definitely made it harder to find who’s not cooperating.

Agreed. I’ve had similar issues with Audi financial. Good luck!

How did you go about it? Did you end up doing the conference call to make it work?

I had a challenging almost 3 weeks getting the dealer payoff but in the end it did finally go through. I think GM financial has serious faxing outages or they are difficult on purpose. I was in the same scenario where they would email me the customer payoff with sales tax. I tried to get them to fax me dealer payoff and they sent the personal payoff. They would not email the dealer payoff to Carvana. Looking back the first thing to do is have Carvana request the dealer payoff. When you call and request there is a high probably you will get the customer payoff. Call Carvana first and have them call GM financial. They will bring you on the line to authorize them on your behalf. Be persistent and keep calling on the status and if they didn’t get it request it again. Also ask Carvana if they are receiving faxes from GM, it was noted in their system they were not for a couple of weeks. Late last week they confirmed they were receiving them again. It takes 1-2 days for GM to “process” a fax which is crazy and it looks like it took another day for the fax to actually get out the door when it finally went through. Have patience and stay persistent and it should get to them. Carvana was good at honoring the quote and kept pushing the offer date out since it was out of our control. Good luck!

For people selling leases did you need to get the financial company to send a picture of the title too? When I called they told me to do a placeholder photo for title and payoff. Not sure if I should preemptively try to get both faxed from Mini or just wait until carvana reviews everything else and asks for the payoff + title.

Title was not needed. All that was needed from the finance company was the dealership 10 day loan payoff package.
