FWIW - they’re offering $37 for my 2019 - I don’t think they’re into it for more than $45 if it has FSD
That’s the thing…it doesn’t have FSD. And even if it did have FSD, it’s still waaaayyyyyyyy too high a price. Without FSD, the price is insane.
I was fully expecting it to begin normalizing around October for regular production vehicles (i.e. money making SUVs and Trucks, not sports cars) especially after auctions cooled down a little early last month. Now everyone hit the panic button again and they are to just stupid levels again.
Anyone know what a just-purchased $33.8k MSRP Chevy Blazer 1LT FWD could fetch on the used market? Like literally never even been driven off the dealer’s lot.

I’ve been pricing out which Chevy to try to get MSRP swapped into for my Bolt. I am mostly just stumping the Carvana bot and not getting a price.
My unscientific data points with three of my vehicles shows a bump in KBB and Carvana offers of 3-5% over the last week+. They are all back to nosebleed levels not seen since earlier in the summer…
Might be the Ida effect?

In May before the great chip shortage of 2021, I reached out to a dealer I’m very friendly with about an S5 convertible build at a 6% discount and buy-rate. Since I’m not super happy with Audi’s color palette, I opted to an Audi exclusive color which requires a 5k deposit. Due to the ship shortage/factory retooling the allocation was pushed from May to October and thankfully they haven’t swiped my card yet. I totally understand that things are hitting the fan, but unfortunately the lease I currently have is expiring in early November on a 2018 S4. Judging by my best estimates in the BEST case I will have the vehicle in February if not March. From the time I first ran the numbers to now the lease cost has shot up from $850/month to effectively $1050 just due to RV/MF/Incentives. Herein lies the question: do I stick out the order process with a 5k deposit in hopes that lease terms become more favorable or do I opt for an M4/m440 or an E-class? Personally I think t he front end of the 440 leaves a lot to be desired, but if the payment is $300/month less than the Audi, I can over look that as long as it has a performance exhaust. On the other hand, the E450 will be in the same ballpark as the Audi but is an overall more comfortable ride. As of right now I don’t NEED a car- my girlfriend’s SQ5 is coming in next month and she’s nice enough to let me drive it. I can wait a bit, but I don’t want to be a burden on her.
Algo just quoted me $29.6k. I’d definitely take that. That’s only $4k off MSRP and new Blazers have a $2,500 rebate on the hood currently.
Don’t forget to check CarBuyerUSA.
Said they couldn’t provide a quote for my VIN. dafuq? Lol
Got an emailed offer from a local Autonation dealer of $30.6k for my MSRP $33.8k '21 Chevy Blazer 1LT with 31 miles on it (and the Blazer has $2,500 cash on hood currently). Unless this is a huge bait and switch offer, as soon as the title comes in, I’m speeding off to this dealer.

Nice. Nervous about MSRP swapping into a Blazer since I wouldn’t want to keep it if I couldn’t sell or trade it at a profit.
C8 maybe? Not sure what the buyback terms look like and it likely won’t happen, but shoot your shot I would say.
I’m too chicken to ask my GM rep 
. Also I’ll be fighting dealer allocations because this comes from a separate allocation according to my rep. Highly unlikely the C8 on a Bolt buyback would be prioritized over the backlog of orders. I was thinking of going for a Camaro with similar MSRP as my $39k Bolt. I can build a LT1 for that.

A few months ago Carmax offered $18.3k on my 2018 Chevy Volt LT/Comfort pkg with 20k miles. Car has one fender bender accident and I do disclose that since it is on the carfax.
Today they offered $19k. lol crazy. A lot of Bolt owners are looking for reliable EV’s and some are switching to Gen 2 Volts.
If this latest EV tax credit bill gets signed into law, I fully expect the value to go up to at least $20k. The car would then be eligible for a $2500 used EV tax credit (for the next buyer).
My personal experience says no…this wasn’t the peak. I think the hurricane hitting the northeast and flooding thousands of cars also had something to do with it.
I bought a 2021 GMC Acadia in May for $32,000 after discounts and rebates. This summer I always checked and usually got trade-in offers around $34-36k. Last week Carvana quoted me $38,850. Autonation quoted me $39,900 online and when I traded in the vehicle I got them up to $40,300. This was on a 4 month old vehicle with 15,000 miles on it and a sticker price of $44,000…that usually has $4-5k in rebates from GM when you buy it new.

They quoted me $39,900 for my GMC Acadia with a sticker price of $44,000 and it has 15,000 miles on it. I went in and bought a Cadillac using GM supplier discount and got them to increase their offer to $40,300. Not a bait and switch in my experience.

Production of new Acadia’s by GM has almost stopped. With no new Acadia inventory, this drives up the wholesale auction prices which drives up the trade-in values. Not many other 3 row SUVs in this price range for competition either.
