Check with other sources. It's only going to continue to go down in value. Holding onto it will get you less money. It's not like it's a collectable. What does Kelly Blue Book say the value is? Or sell it privately. You always get more money with a private sale.
I have a $12,900 offer from Carvana, $13,500 offer from Vroom, which seems way out of line compared to what other people are getting. I tried talking to Carvana to see if they would offer me a better value after the hell they put me through, but they won't budge. Private sale would be tough because I have a loan on it.
I've never heard of selling a car quickly lowering it's value, especially when looking at selling/trading in to a dealer. A private party might be skeptical about "Why is this guy selling it so quickly", but I've never heard of a dealer caring.
I'm just grasping at straws trying to figure out why my offers are so low. It's probably not a thing.
That does seem a little low, for this current market.
What'd you pay for it, out of curiosity?
I paid $17,900 for it. But, I'm seeing same year/packages with more mileage going for $20k right now.
I am pretty fickle and have turned around and re-sold cars after a few months. It may have to do with total number of owners? Does it have both keys, clean title, no accidents, no damage, no CELs, anything like that?
I'm third owner. Second owner bought it CPO in 2019. Regular maintenance records on CarFax. Clean title, no CELs, it did have minor cosmetic damage which is now fully repaired. The car looks brand new inside and out. Aside from minor road rash on bottom of front bumper. These appraisals are all from online dealers so far and they don't examine the car first. I'll probably try local dealers next week.
