Well, my point in my post was that it was nonsense. My truck is clearly worth more than a $38k truck, hence the $61k sticker and my $54k final price before tax. I posted what I did, to show the actual numbers don’t actually come up to making $ selling a car to carvana. What OP isn’t telling all of us is the actual numbers with a screen shot like mine. If any of us have purchased several vehicles in our lifetimes, we all know the vehicle depreciates as soon as you drive it off the lot when buying new. If you’re asking IF carvana had come up with a $64k offer to buy my truck, sure I think we ALL would do that. That just won’t happen.If you would have bought your Rubi for $38500 would you do it then?

SERIOUSLY....I might be the forum whisperer....spent more time on Land Cruiser, Range Rover, BMW, Jaguar, Mustang, Golf R, Porsche, Vanagon, Ram, TDI, and Overlanding forums that I care to admit. After a while, you get a sense for what the real issues are and what is just noise...I learned long ago that you don't want to read forums before you decide on a vehicle. They are all scary.
I was just asking as I bought my JLUR for $38,500 and they revised their offer to me for $44,500. Torn on what to do, with the equity I have in it we can make some money.Well, my point in my post was that it was nonsense.

To be honest I am glad you got out of your JL. Life is too short to feel regrets over such choices. Owning a Jeep JL is a compromise that only makes sense to a group of people who love getting off road regularly and not just dirt forest roads. Really off road and into places that most vehicles you can drive on-road can't go.
But if you never use it off road it's a bad compromise as a daily driver.
A JL is 100% the right choice for someone off-roading every weekend or a couple times a month.
A JL is 100% the wrong choice for someone never off-roading. They may look cool as Mall Crawlers but that's about it.
Using it like intendedJL owner
Update: the TrueCar dealership didn't honor the TrueCar estimate, which was about $3k over the NADA and KBB trade-in values. They did, however, split the difference and offered $1500 under the TrueCar offer. I took that offer to my Jeep dealership and they were willing to match, so I'm happy. I basically got $1500 over trade-in value for very little effort.Jesus Christ, so many feelings in this thread.
At the risk of being the asshole who's comments are on topic, I'm selling/trading in my Challenger Hellcat next week. The Carvana offer was $5000 less than the TrueCar offer. Time will tell if the Truecar participating dealers actually make good on the offer but, if they do, it'll be a fair price and within $1-2k of what I expected I would see selling private party. For the convenience, that's a fair trade-off. The Carvana offer was not.
Just to note for anyone looking to sell, also take a look at Truecar. If the participating dealer doesn't make good on the offer on Monday, I'll post up for anyone interested.
