I don't say it lightly... I only suggest it because if you can avoid the $5-7k market hit and $2.5k tax hit, it might be worth some additional pain and suffering. $10k is a lot of money to have to eat because of someone else's fuck up. That said, having been in a similarly frustrating situation with Vroom, I would understand the desire to just move on and take the painful financial hit.But why on earth would I want to continue business with them? Yes they have national inventory, but they also have a national problem with titles and registration which is why they are getting fined and sued.
I would find a set of old tires or useless takeoffs, uninstall whatever I installed, take the hit on whatever I took the hit on and return it to them. Order a new Wrangler EXACTLY how you want it for most likely LESS than you paid them (including your trade tax loss). You will be SO MUCH HAPPIER down the literal and figurative road. If I knew you in person and lived near you I would not stop bugging the shit out of you until you did exactly what I said above. I would even help you with the work. Think about it this way ... if you fight and struggle to complete this deal properly, you're still left with a used car that's not 100% to your liking and most likely has an issue you haven't found yet. How many people sell Jeeps to Vroom for no reason?I just got a call from Vroom. They are having issue with documents from previous seller and asked me to do a return.
I already put on new tires, got the superchips to set the speedometer ($1,700), finding a replacement vehicle is $5-7k more than I paid and now that I don't have a trade-in, I'll loose the trade-in tax benefit (+/- $2,500)!
Go out and find a lawyer. There are plenty out there who would want to get this work, especially if you're in Atlanta. Might cost a grand or so but that's better than losing lots more on another Jeep.That's just it, this Jeep is 100% exactly what I wanted. It is basically brand new delivered with 1,640 miles on it and now has 3,300. The interior still smells of brand new leather.
I priced building a Jeep exactly the same, $9k more, with ttt, about $11,500 more. So $11+k more and a 4mo wait for its delivery, not doing it.
Part of my theory along side of not having paperwork, but I think someone messed up with the pricing.
#2 is fraud; if you're gonna want (/need) to pursue legal avenues to rectify this, that's probably not the way to goTwo things:
1. Sorry this happened and I wonder if any of it is your state. I'm in CA and it took four months to get my registration. They even told me I could get a ticket but nothing they could do, it's the way the state had it running.
2. All Vroom knows is your VIN. I k ow this as I just sold to to them and had a long talk with the pickup guy. You could change out everything but the body and sell it back to them, probably make a profit....
I need to disagree with you here. There are a few more things that need to happen legally for it to rise to fraud. It depends what he says and signs, and what happens during the Vroom inspection. Just calling it a crime though is jumping the gun.#2 is fraud; if you're gonna want (/need) to pursue legal avenues to rectify this, that's probably not the way to go
I would make sure Vroom is paying for your rental, or you're getting screwed twice.I have been asking about an ETA for completion, they wont give me one. "we dont know."
Rental car as collateral, eh, Enterprise requires a credit card. So I could end up with that bill too.
