i got as much as the vroom offer for mine, and $1k less than carvana, but after the tax trade in credit, the trade in to BMW was a few $k better of a deal than selling to the other guys. i was just annoyed because they told me one number, and said they made a mistake and had to go for less. i got the right value for it, just wish they had been upfront
