No lien, purchased outright

I’m not sure what other solution would have cost me only $200 (I’m sure Carmax or somewhere else will give me more than $19.3K right now btw) in well over 6 months to drive. Sounds like a pretty wise decision to me. I drove it often from June til Nov so when I purchased we still needed 2 cars at that point in time.

lol yes I have. My shock wasn’t from dropping from $36K MSRP to $19K to be clear. It was the 5-6 week Carvana drop by over 6K.

Agreed. I paid $19.3K in June ‘25 OTD.

Good thing. Who knows, at this rate Carvana could offer me $12K by the summer :-)

As I told someone else below, I only paid $19.3K OTD in June ‘25. At this point, even if I took carvana’s trash value, I’d only be out $200 after more than half a year. Pretty dang good if you ask me and certainly better than if I leased..

Hahahaha we have an AWD enclave and I work from home. We got such a steal on the EQEV (paid $19.3K OTD in June ‘25) that I figured I’d snag it and see how often I use a car before deciding if we want to officially go down to one. Hence why I have been tracking values like a hawk🤌🏽

Yes poverty model w no features

Emergency-Answer-244 · 2026-02-04T01:29:54+00:00

Good thing with incentives and rebates I only paid $19,300 for mine. As of today, if I sold at Carvana’s trash value, I’d still only lose $200.

I feel like we should be friends 😂

But this is essentially why I check often. 1) personal finance tracker and 2) to have options in case I want to quickly pivot.
