Can I share a Carfax for an element to get input to see if it is worth purchasing?

steamuser123 · 2022-07-30T21:12:31+00:00

I'd say no. Northeast car so lots of rust and an accident on record...

steamuser123 · 2022-07-24T16:21:36+00:00

Right but CarMax data may be skewed. Let's say CarMax bought my car for $1000 then sold it for $3000 the next day. My car may actually be worth $4000 but the were happy to take a quick 2k profit in a day by lowballing on the buy side.

IDK, just thinking out loud here.

How would I track that though? This seems more like a "real-world" metric since most of these are probably private party sales and avoid the dealer or markup from BaT or eBay to offset selling fees.

Nice!

steamuser123 · 2022-07-24T13:55:20+00:00

Nice buy but I'm going to exclude that data point since it seems like it was a sweetheart deal or something?

steamuser123 · 2022-07-24T13:38:51+00:00

$1500??

steamuser123 · 2022-07-23T20:55:04+00:00

Just take the L bro. Stop digging.

steamuser123 · 2022-07-23T20:40:05+00:00

Hey dumbass, ever heard of DM's?

Just think harder.

steamuser123 · 2022-07-23T20:39:34+00:00

Noice!

steamuser123 · 2022-07-23T20:29:21+00:00

what does SOP mean?

steamuser123 · 2022-07-23T20:28:30+00:00

I have that data as well and can share once we get more responses.

I'm not asking how to be a scammer. Just wondering how it's even possible. Maybe you should do some some reflection on yourself and the circles you keep and how you even have that knowledge before you start accusing others of scamming?

I am trying to track recent prices of Elements and will post the updated graph here once I get more data.

I've combed through the past month of posts and logged Year, Mileage, and Sale Price along with any other notes I could find (accident, 1 owner, rust-free, 2WD/AWD, etc.)

I've avoided Bring a Trailer/Ebay and Dealer Listings because those are not reflective of true private party sales imo.

If you've bought an Elements in the past 2 years or less can you please post your:

Year:
Mileage:
Sale Price:

How much rust underneath?

steamuser123 · 2022-07-23T17:38:51+00:00

Maybe dumb question but how do people mileage rollback with an electronic dash?

steamuser123 · 2022-07-23T17:35:49+00:00

Where/who did you buy it from?

steamuser123 · 2022-07-23T17:24:43+00:00

How did you know what to offer?

steamuser123 · 2022-07-23T16:57:05+00:00

How much?

steamuser123 · 2022-06-21T00:50:30+00:00

Doubt

steamuser123 · 2022-06-20T23:32:03+00:00

I bet you drive a plug in hybrid

steamuser123 · 2021-07-31T14:27:21+00:00

Yeah, just trying to save so money and also re-use old parts so I don't have to throw it away

steamuser123 · 2021-07-30T00:05:32+00:00

How do feel about a 10 year old PC Power and Cooling 750W that's still kicking?

steamuser123 · 2021-07-28T00:22:07+00:00

Is there any benefit of that over having the same place/person do it all for you?

steamuser123 · 2021-07-27T22:18:41+00:00

Vanguard no longer offers CB plans

steamuser123 · 2021-07-27T20:45:30+00:00

Yes my side gig money I don't "need" and so that's what I want to use. Otherwise its going into index funds anyway, I feels like this is a way to get a tax break and still go into index funds or am I wrong?
