We are Cuber.
A friend of a friend ordered a new Ford bronco last year....waited a whole year to take delivery and sold it to another dealership in a matter of days after the purchase for $15k more than he paid for it.
SMH
Crazy
was your friend’s name Hoovie? That sounds familiar.
Carvana offered me $37,250 for my 2016 Silverado LTZ with almost 58k miles on it. I bought it brand new in 2016 for less than that.
What’s the best way? Take a Saturday and visit every auto dealer in town to see who pays the most? Sounds like we have the upper hand.
This is in north Fla if that helps.
You know.....land of lynyrd skynyrd!
OK lol off topic, I just watched LS live version of Freebird on Youtube a few days ago. A Day in the Green?
That red Honda looks like a cheese wedge or doorstop, as a lot of subcompact cars do.
Take a day off work on the last day of the month when they are desperate to fill their quotas..............
I bought a 2003 Dodge Ram 2500 for $8,000 5 years ago.
It’s now worth $13K on Kelly Blue Book.
We took a 2010 Lexus IS 250 with 62,000 miles to 5 local dealers, it’s KBB price to private party was $12,000. All 4 dealers offered us $11,750, $12,000, 12,400 and 12,500 on the spot to sell. We did Carvana online and 4 days later they showed up with a $14,250 check and we handed them the title and the took it away. We were shocked and thought they would try and haggle us down from the original offer but nope, here’s your check, give us the car. Easy Peasy and I’ll call them again.
I also wonder with this push to EVs, if they think soon ICE cars will be at a premium.
Yeah that was just a couple months before the plane crash.
Got to see what my 2000 civic with 220,000 miles gets.
I can understand that. If I’m not mistaken, folks locked in a price upon ordering and Ford was adamant about dealers not jacking the prices up.
It’s a remake of a classic.
I have a ‘77 and folks follow me into parking lots.
That dealer probably had someone lined up to pay at least $20-25k over what your buddy paid
I don’t know, but I do know they will probably be buying my 2014 RAV4 fairly soon and I’ll take their check to Toyota for the down payment on our newer certified one. No way I’ll trade the thing in at my dealer, who we like btw. Every time I’m at the dealer getting service the salespeople always hit me up to get my car, they know it’s a low miles very well taken care of car, but I’m not trading with them after our Carvana experience.
Oh sure the dealerships gonna make money you know that.
I hate buying a vehicle at a dealership like poison......just walking on the lot irritates the crap outta me.
My nephew just got talent to the cleaners. Few bad for him. But you gota learn.
I envision a day real soon where the dealerships are historic sites. Build it online Have it delivered.
