I've been driving $285 car!

[Anonymous]

So, I was watching Carvana commercial which says - just put your tag number, we will instantly give you trade in value - I decided to give it a shot. My beloved 2005/Pathfinder with only 105k (no accidents)... Trade value? $285! It made me chuckle. I guess I am poor?

I’ll give you $270 for it, best I can do

They would make way more than that selling off the parts of your car.

Also, really the cost is the opportunity cost of you buying a replacement car. Presumably, you would buy a car that is worth more than $300.

I need to check mine, hahaha.

I don’t think you needed caravana to tell you that your 17 year old car is a junker.

Check Carmax. My husband’s 13 year old Honda Accord with 243k miles was “valued” at $200 by Carvana. I put the info into Carmax, and it was $1200. We did end up selling it to Carmax. The guy said they would probably sell it for $1500 to an auction house, who would probably then sell it to someone else for parts.

There is a huge shortage of used cars. No need to sell to the aggregators. They just low ball.

I'll tell someone I know (a young teacher, single) who posted on FB she wants to know if there are any $500 cars around.

My brother bought a car for $5 from a friend at a keg party when he was in high school, drove it for years.

My 2005 car is valued $200 by carvana. A dealer actually offered $2,000.

I’d walk before I rode in a 16 year old piece of crap SUV.

Uh, not trying to be rude here but all 2005 cars are not pieces of crap.
If a person maintained their vehicle over the years - then their car may still be a decent ride.

Especially if it is a Toyota or Honda. 👍🏽

I feel like you should win an award for this. Honestly it’s very cool to me.
