Trade-In Advice Needed

Interesting data point. Perhaps my viewpoint is state-dependent. My references are Texas (stale, at 6 yrs ago) and MD (many times since). Dunno.

Yeah that was just my experience. GA’s ad valorem definitely favors the dealerships. Removes incentives to buy from a private party and incentivizes you to trade in. I think there’s general belief that dealerships do more than just wash the cars they resell too, helping them command a higher price than an individual. Some people can probably do better than I have, but I’ve learned it’s not really worth it to me.

CarVana does not have the best reputation. I would probably trust Carmax more since they have been around longer. CarVana is owned by the same DriveTime scammer family. Lots more articles on the web about them.

Check with your state. Arkansas allows the tax incentive on any vehicle(s) you’ve sold in the 30 days prior to buying from a dealer.

Hey, all.

We have a 4/4 build date and have to get rid of the vehicle we're shedding to make room for our Bronco. Having never ordered a vehicle before, I have a bad feeling about showing up on the day our delivery is ready only to have the GM offer a Carvana-like lowball trade-in figure. Has anyone else done this?

We got a pretty decent offer to sell the car outright to the dealer we purchased it from, some $6K to $8K over CarGuru, KBB, Carvana, etc... offers. I'm inclined to offload the ride now, and roll with one car until the Bronco delivers.

Any other advice? I don't think there's a ton of wiggle room when most dealers would be happy if we abandoned our orders so they can mark it up and throw it on the lot.

Thank you and be well.

check with car max, dealer wanted to give me 32k for the wife’s Acadia recently, when online to car max, they offered 43k, and it was a done deal. Took about an hour to do.
