“We sold our BMW to Carvanna for more than we paid for it “
hmmmm
BMW’s have the worst resale value of any car.
The i3 stickered close to $60k when new. When we bought it, it had 16-thousand miles and we paid less than 20k for a 4-year old EV.
The car was a “spare” that we kept up north as our other car was in Florida. Carvana paid us $20k+ last spring when we sold our Florida property. So we drove it 2-years, put about 20-thousand miles on it and made money on the re-sell.
I think the timing was right as there were no new cars on the lots and used were getting a premium.
The car was, for us, an experiment to see if an EV would meet our driving needs. This car had the range extender so I was never worried about range. Surprisingly, it worked well for us. It was roomy, loaded, and fun to drive.
We considered the VW ID-4 when we went car shopping last fall. The dealer wouldn’t discount the car so we bought the Tiguan instead.
in our situation, an EV would have worked, but it was never intended to be more than a commuter vehicle. If we still had our Florida property, I’d never consider attempting to make the commute with today’s infrastructure.
