Unfortunately, a week later, and after my sale to Shift detailed below, they did increase to $7.1K. Better! CarvanaĬarvana had a fairly in-depth condition questionnaire, and came out with $6.9K. I answered each question honestly, and had an offer of $6.2K. Vroom had arguably the most thorough questionnaire about my vehicle. Just like working with a dealership! I ended up going through each one’s initial estimate to see how they’d compare. The online options began to flash each time I was on the net: Vroom, Carvana and Shift.Įach promised an at-home transaction, quick payment, and painless handling of the DMV paperwork. Online-Only Offersĭespite my reservations for privacy intrusion, my search browser clearly saw I was trying to sell my car. KBB also provided an assessment of $5.1K midpoint for trade-in and $7.1K private seller midpoint. But at just $4.4K I was getting discouraged. I believe this is because they’re making the offer sight unseen. This offer was even lower than the dealerships in person. Instead, I hit the net to see what KBB might say. Still, this felt like a low ball offer cutting into my replacement purchase budget, and I briefly considered driving the car into the ground rather than getting a new car. The offers were initially pathetic (mid $3K ranges), but negotiated up to right around $5.1K. My first stop was to two separate dealerships, at places I was looking to purchase from. My final outcome was a 29% premium compared to dealership offers and 10% less than a private party, but without the headache. Bottom line: the online-only dealerships initially offered up to a 37% premium to in-person dealerships, and just barely under private party KBB value, but with some caveats and lessons learned that I’ll walkthrough in this article. I hit both the street and web to explore the options. I’m not a used car salesman, and value my time over the awkward connections with Craigslist flakes, especially in these trying COVID times – so I was looking for an easy transaction with the best return. The photos below all came from Shift after my car was listed: No reportable accidents and I was the original owner. Several bumps and bruises from my DoorDashing, front bumper clips broken off from bumps on inclined driveways, but with only 82K miles and plenty of life left. The car was a 2012 Prius C trim three, mechanically sound with a good interior and fairly worn exterior. I decided to look into a variety of options for selling our car, and here’s what my experience was like. I had concerns over the 10 year warranty on the hybrid battery nearing expiration, and a $4.5K estimated replacement cost based on our research.
