I wanted to get a new truck and decided to trade in or sell my 2021 Toyota Tacoma with 54,000 miles. When I ordered the new 2024 Tacoma, the dealer's web site indicated that they would give me $26,415 as a trade-in. I felt that I needed to research other ways to sell my truck. I looked at web sites that told me it's value and found that the Toyota dealer was rather low. My son then told me to check Carvana. I was a little apprehensive to try out this new way of selling a vehicle, but I figured what did I have to lose. I went to their web site and entered my truck's info and pictures. The web site gathered the information and generated me an offer of $31,969. I was shocked at the difference between the dealer and Carvana. The web site asked if I wanted to accept this offer and I indicated yes. Then I just had to submit a picture of the title and of the odometer and then make an appointment to deliver it to them in Plainfield. I drove the truck to Plainfield and met with the Carvana representative. He drove the truck around the parking lot and stuck a reader into the slot that indicates if any warning lights are on. After around 15 minutes I was given the check and they were given the title and the keys. I can say I had a very good experience with selling a vehicle to Carvana and I will definitely use them again in the future. One last note, Carvana had my truck on their web site for sale a few days later for $35,000 and it sold a few days after it was posted.
This is a blog set up by me, Bret Hobbs, so that those who are interested can read about my adventure of working in Yellowstone. As well as other things I have written. Maybe one day when I am dead and gone my kids and grand-kids will be able to read this blog because I don't see Google going away soon.
