How did this turn out? I also sold my only car expecting my Bronco to be built early this month based on them telling me that, y’know, it would be. Curious what you’re going to do now. Might steal any good ideas posted in reply. (Currently borrowing a family vehicle but feels like I’ll need a longer term option)

I would say it was a success.
Carvana was going to cut me a check for $20k... and my jeep sold on Cars & Bids for $23k.
I'm going to take that extra $3k as a budget for some busted a** beater to get me through. (I have a take-home car from work, but I really don't want to daily it for a number of reasons.)
I've got a lead on something I'm going to see on Sunday... if it pans out, I'll share it here as I think some of y'all will enjoy it.

I saw this on cars and bids. Nice looking Jeep! You work at a dealership, you can have any used car you want to use until your Bronco comes. I know how you guys rollWhelp. That's it. I'm committed.
I put my daily driver Jeep overlander up for auction with "No Reserve" and now I'm freaking out.
What if I'm without a car for another 12 months until my Bronco comes in and then I can't afford it because my Jeep sold for $5.00?
What if one of you who needs a car gets a great deal on the perfect hold-over vehicle until your own Bronco comes in?
WHAT HAVE I DONE?!

Send me your good vibes.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'll be over here hyperventilating....

Oh. I absolutely do not work at a dealership (you may be confusing me with Zack@Granger)…I saw this on cars and bids. Nice looking Jeep! You work at a dealership, you can have any used car you want to use until your Bronco comes. I know how you guys roll

::UPDATE::
The auction landed me with $3k more than Carvana was going to cut me a check for.
I decided to take that money and use it as a budget for a vehicle I can drive around while I wait for the Bronco...
...and I'm actually excited about this thing enough that I think it may hold me over until MY23 Mod tops...
....and the Mrs like's it enough she's already hinted that maybe we should consider keeping it even after the Bronco arrives.

2003 6cyl with 174k miles. Basically the only Atomic Orange one I could find that was worth looking at and it turned out to be pretty good.
Needs some work... normal stuff for a vehicle with that miles that the owner was getting tired of repairing... but I've always wanted an Xterra, so I'm happy to invest the time/money in doing that.

Congrats on a solid price and your new ride!
I have to admit I was a little worried for you seeing those early bids
