So, I have sold my 2017 1SS. The Vroom process has been super smooth so far. I spoke to customer service with a few questions before beginning, and they were super friendly and helpful. It took seconds to get through, to an actual person!
I took the offer I posted above. It’s a thousand more than I paid for it back in 2017. I uploaded photos of my DL, reg, title, and actual mileage from odometer in the vehicle. They verified it in minutes, and sent me some e-sign docs to sign, which I read carefully, answered some additional questions, and then signed. They have already fedexed paperwork for me to sign, which customer service told me, will be to me by tomorrow evening. They even send a return Fedex envelope that is prepaid for me to send back some actual signatures, plus signed title. After they receive that, which should be a day or two later, they will call to schedule pick up at my house, by Saturday. They then will send a check, Fedex to me within 2-3 days of receiving the vehicle. I will video the whole pick up process, and my car, which is showroom condition. I had also read on line reviews for Vroom, before going forward with all of this. I own my car outright, with 4646 miles on it, to be exact. Only additions were: Scotchguard 3M Pro film to nose, mirrors and bottom half of both sides of the car, plus GM paint matched rock guards. I’ll pay off my Grand Cherokee with 11K of the money, then use the other 26K or so to buy a new 6M 2SS when the prices come back to earth. I’ll still be in the forums, as I’m going to get a new 2SS as soon the plants open, and then the prices start to get back to normal. I’ll update with how this process all goes moving forward.

So you give them your car and title, and they send you a check in 2-3 days.
Uh huh. Like I said in a prior post: I’d insist they wire the money same day before I release the title or no deal. |

You have direct deposit offer, but it’s still after they see the vehicle in person. They need to see that what was presented on line is actually what they are getting. I did research on them through various websites. They are a legitimate option to sell your vehicle to, at least through multiple on line sources. I’ll let everyone know how this goes.

“You have nothing to worry about”..... famous last words lol
I’m sure it’s ok but I just....... I’m too old fashioned I guess. I want my funds verified in my bank account before I put my signature on the title and give the keys to anyone. |

I'd stick to just trading it in at a dealer or selling it to Carmax or a dealer. It's just like those cell trade ins Samsung does. You send the phone in and they give you credit. Some people have perfect devices and they end up not getting any credit coming up with some excuse like "scratched" even though it's perfect. All I know is there must be stupid people who go to places like Carmax and Vroom, Carvana to buy cars. I can get the same car at a dealer for about 2-3k less and trade in. My low miles 2016 2SS that I got last Sept was almost 4k more for similar car on those sites like Carmax and Carvana and had more miles. |

I have a Shadow Grey 2020 SS1LE with 1500 miles. Vroom offered me $37000... Seems very low.

I get the hesitancy with businesses like VROOM, but they have to be doing something right or they wouldn't be in business. If I was looking to sell my auto right now, I would seriously consider them as an option. Easier then listing it yourself, dealing with sellers coming over, wanting to take test drives, trying to lowball you... The biggest local dealer here by me has changed their business model to exactly like VROOM, CarMax... You go there, they look over your vehicle, they write you a check for your auto. You can take it or leave it, even if you don't buy a car from them. You pick an auto you want from them, you can use that check toward that auto if you so please. You have 7 days from the day you buy the new car to return it. If the dealers didn't think businesses like VROOM or CarMax were a threat, they certainly wouldn't be changing to the same model.

They are currently selling a 2019 2SS Convertible w/ 10k on it for $44k. That's "precariously close" to the price of buying a brand new one, so it doesn't make sense for them to buy -my- car for $43k-$44k because a new one would cost less once they add in their markup. Quote:
It appears they are about three years old and haven't turned a profit yet. Every earnings report is negative, and their guidance through the remainder of 2021 is that they will continue to lose money. This shows that they may still trying to buy their way into the market and/or set themselves up to be acquired. |
