Anyone else get a Vroom offer? I had checked what their offer was a couple months back. (Nothing recently) I just got an email from them... The offer went up by $8k from when I checked. They just offered me $10k more then I paid for my SS 2 years ago. I love this car, but man... that is tempting...

Offer is only valid for 3 days.


Edit: Never Mind... I just called Vroom. I got an offer for my '18 Tahoe the other day. Well they just sent me an offer for my Tahoe, but the email has the VIN of my Camaro for a previous offer last year. Vroom has them mixed up...

Its too hard to get in to another car these days IMHO unless you're just not choosy and will take anything on the lot, assuming it's not marked above MSRP, etc etc

That is a lot over what you originally paid. I have been a firm believer in not buying anything in this market however if you see that vroom has a decent deal listed on a zl1 I would see if you could simultaneously buy that one and trade your SS (sorry if I’m mistaken but I believe you’ve posted before about getting in a zl1 eventually). My guess is all their zl1’s are probably terribly priced right now.

If you have a second car to drive. I would do it in a heartbeat. You really have to think about the global impacts of what is happening now. I sold my truck through vroom and it was easy. If they are going to offer me 10k over what I paid for my ZL1 2 years ago I will let it go.
I just do not see good times ahead for the internal combustion engine and the performance car market in the coming years. If I made another 20k a year I would have no problem keeping it but gas has doubled, my home owners insurance and property taxes have doubled, cost of living has nearly increased 15% in the last two years and its just a good financial decision to get out while you are ahead and let the market cool down before you jump back in.
Its not often you get the option to sell high in the car game.

See Edited Original Post...

Yes, I have and if Vroom didn't have the VIN in the email mixed up with the offer of my Tahoe and that was the offer for my Camaro SS.. I would have sold it to them in a heartbeat and bought the ZL1... No questions asked.

They did give me the updated offer for my SS while on the phone with them. $2k less then I paid for it. So I'm thinking Vroom has a glut of used Camaros...

I think the inflated used car market is going to pop soon, and the values will be going back to normal. I sold my 2021 Elantra to Carvana for $2K more than I paid for it new last year.

VROOMS decrease in available capital should mitigate their competitive affect on the market. Add higher fuel costs and it appears that we may be heading toward some serious demand destruction (especially gas guzzlers).

Ya, I think you're right. Back in 2008 when gas went up over $4/gallon people couldn't dump their gas guzzler pickups and SUVs fast enough. I think you'll start to see a bunch of them hitting the market soon.

Just last week I was offered on my 2020 LT1 2k under what it listed for @ 38$K with 4k miles. Tempting.... as a no tax trade.

Sent my SS to Vroom @ $36,200 with 52k on the clock. Paid 38 out the door in '17 brand new. To compare, the dealer I got it from, their offer topped out a 29k.

Was that recently or last year when Vroom was giving out stellar deals on these cars? They are not doing that anymore...

As someone who wants to move into a zl1, I Can’t wait. During this whole price hike zl1’s went up a few thousand more than SS’s since X percent increase of a higher number (zl1) is a larger increase than the same percentage of a lower number (SS). Hoping for a little over prepandemic pricing.

The big question is whether continuing or worsening supply constraints further reduce manufacturing. If that’s the case, the net affect, including fuel related manufacturing increases, may still buoy high prices, regardless of fuel related demand destruction. People have jobs and $, so that’s a nice little cherry on top.

Very strange times…
