Cars, bumper stickers, vanity plates

[BurtReynolds]

Has anyone ever sold a car on carvana, carmax, or vroom?

There is a wolf in me . . . fangs pointed for tearing gashes . . . a red tongue for raw meat . . . and the hot lapping of blood—I keep this wolf because the wilderness gave it to me and the wilderness will not let it go.

There is a fox in me . . . a silver-gray fox . . . I sniff and guess . . . I pick things out of the wind and air . . . I nose in the dark night and take sleepers and eat them and hide the feathers . . . I circle and loop and double-cross.

There is a hog in me . . . a snout and a belly . . . a machinery for eating and grunting . . . a machinery for sleeping satisfied in the sun—I got this too from the wilderness and the wilderness will not let it go.

There is a fish in me . . . I know I came from salt-blue water-gates . . . I scurried with shoals of herring . . . I blew waterspouts with porpoises . . . before land was . . . before the water went down . . . before Noah . . . before the first chapter of Genesis.

There is a baboon in me . . . clambering-clawed . . . dog-faced . . . yawping a galoot's hunger . . . hairy under the armpits . . . here are the hawk-eyed hankering men . . . here are the blonde and blue-eyed women . . . here they hide curled asleep waiting . . . ready to snarl and kill . . . ready to sing and give milk . . . waiting—I keep the baboon because the wilderness says so.

There is an eagle in me and a mockingbird . . . and the eagle flies among the Rocky Mountains of my dreams and fights among the Sierra crags of what I want . . . and the mockingbird warbles in the early forenoon before the dew is gone, warbles in the underbrush of my Chattanoogas of hope, gushes over the blue Ozark foothills of my wishes—And I got the eagle and the mockingbird from the wilderness.

O, I got a zoo, I got a menagerie, inside my ribs, under my bony head, under my red-valve heart—and I got something else: it is a man-child heart, a woman-child heart: it is a father and mother and lover: it came from God-Knows-Where: it is going to God-Knows-Where—For I am the keeper of the zoo: I say yes and no: I sing and kill and work: I am a pal of the world: I came from the wilderness.

I hear they are convenient, but you pay a premium.

It seems that they will pay more for a car than you will get on a trade-in at a dealership, though.

I know a couple of people who’ve bought from Carvana and they had no issues. Seemed pretty simple. No knowledge of anyone selling, tho.

This. Going to trade in our Tucson once the Tesla arrives. Caravana/Carmax are offering like two thousand more than a dealership.

Also, purchasing a Tesla is kind of a chore. You do everything through the app, and have to serve as intermediary between them and your lender. Make sure all the paperwork is provided etc.

Carmax is supposedly going to give us a couple grand more than Carvana for our Tucson.

Hoping they don’t realize the backup camera doesn’t work anymore…

[BurtReynolds]

I heard they barely look at them when they pick them up.

[bodysnatcher]

A couple thousand for a Tucson sounds about right

[Bammer]

I saw one of these in the parking lot at work the other day

This was definitely the case. Parked, went in, had a check in hand ten minutes later. They had taken her away by the time I left.
