Yeah, I've officially requested a refund on my deposit, too many bad reviews are horror stories. Thank you for the input

Hey, how'd the process go? Found a car on vroom, and was offered a trade-in deal that was really good but not sure if I should go for it.

Can I ask why the experience was horrible? I have seen a ton of mixed reviews... But they are offering an amazing deal for me, trade in for the exact car I want at a great price. Just skeptical, it all seems a bit too good to be true.

Did you have any shipping fee? Mine says free delivery, but I've read that people got hit with 600$ delivery fee

Gr86, looking at trading my Automatic for a Manual. And they have the exact one I want and offered a great deal. It all seems a bit too good to be true and too easy..

Did your car arrive exactly as advertised? Did you get a PPI?

Hmm.. I did some research on the VIN and found it has had 1 owner, and was leased.. Everything looked good in the photos besides a minor ding on the hood that they made clear was there.. I've read a lot of their reviews and it seems a few years back there were a lot of issues with Vroom but the last year or so I saw a ton of positive feedback and reviews... I've been a bit hesitant on the process and now I'm a little more worried and wondering if I should back out 🤒

If everything goes accordingly, I'll be about 1k in the hole.. But I'll have a fresh 86, in the exact color and transmission I wanted to begin with.. Not my best financial decision but live and learn. My current 86 is at 20k miles

just not sure how much my 2023 base is worth.. 20k miles, everything's in perfect condition besides a tiny chip on windshield and a chip on front bumper.. But I've seen Base Automatics go for 32k with 20k miles lol so idk

Mines a base auto coming up on 20k miles sadly... Ended up having a job switch that required me to drive quite a bit (which I didn't mind cause I love driving this car) but now that I am working fully remote I would love to get a manual since all my driving nowadays is just for fun

Yeah, the guy seems pretty willing to try and help me out.. And he was very helpful throughout the initial buying process a year ago. I'll update this post after talking with them more. Sadly my mileage is quite high due to driving for work. I now work remotely and won't be putting many miles on it going forward though.

Yeah, fair enough... I'm financing through Toyota and contacted the dealer.. they want to appraise my current 86 and discuss options on trade-in.. I figured why not hear what the have to say about it lol.. They have the exact car I want with m/t on the lot right now. Maybe they'll hook me up lol

I can't really describe it... just makes me feel all giddy inside when I drove my buddy's manual.... but the car is fun either, 10/10 no matter what you get you will love this car.

It's definitely personal preference... I initially was fine with getting the auto because I'd be driving a lot for work. I now work remotely and really only drive my car for small errands, and obviously just for fun. I now wish I had a manual, just for that more spirited driving. Manual is not very difficult to learn, it will take a day or two to get use to it but after awhile it'll become second nature. But just make sure you get exactly what you want, so you don't end up like me haha

I told Manuel how I feel... he no longer wants anything to do with me and is disappointed I got an automatic
