Ah. Ten year old fast Mustang. That's a total bait car for a dealership. They're probably holding out to sell it to some kid who will YOLO/FOMO overpay and take dealer financing on it. And they'll get it.

Wait a minute. What happened? I thought you decided to keep the Camaro? Did you get another bad tank of gas? :twitch:

I’m still going back and forth on the decision. If I could secure a test drive I’d know for sure but I really want a car with a lot of raw power. I think you were the one that suggested a c6z06? I actually drove one of those and I don’t know if there’s anything wrong with the one I drove but that car tried to kill me! Was very disappointed by that since that was a bucket list car for me.

The main reason I think I will be dumping my 1le is because of where I live. I just don’t have many twisty roads near me so I can’t use the car the way it’s intended to be used. I can only afford 3-5 track days a year. If I had more money I’d just do way more track days in the 1le.

Watch out the Carvana / Online car purchase. Read the terms and conditions in detail. I will never agree to buy from them.

Car max at least lets you test the car. You can avoid buying a car with rod knock at least.

My best advice is use Turo to rent the cars you like for a week. One of my friends was super obsessed with a car, he finally rented it through Turo for 4 days and ended up being "meh". He dodged a bullet.

...and re: topic, I cashed out my CVNA stock after a year of diamond hands. :smoking:

I could be wrong but I thought they had a 7 day return policy. I also saw they warranty their vehicles. But yes the thought of purchasing a car site unseen is scary and I hate it. Every gt500 though that was reasonably priced has been sold within 1-3 days so that’s also why I was open to it. Last I checked turo had a specific policy about renting manual transmission vehicles.



The way the c6Z suddenly broke traction was downright scary. I feel your zl1 would give a much better warning and is much easier to correct. But idk the tires were a bit worn so maybe that had something to do with it. Congrats on cashing in on that stock. I think they will be out of business soon but then again if they are stealing cars at the prices they pay maybe they won’t.

Depends on who you ask. I've NEVER bought a car from Carvana, but have sold 4 cars to them, including my 10SS about a month ago. I don't understand their business model of overpaying, but bless them and their Silicon Valley baffoons who keep raising capital for them. Carvana's check clears every time (so far) and I avoid the tire kickers and internet "expert" buyers asking stupid questions. They picked up my SS with 14 yr old dry-rotted tires, and said thank you. You just can't beat them. This last sale, they paid $4,700 more than the nearest next dealer quote.

Wow I’m surprised to hear they were that much higher than the local dealer. Every time I checked they were less by a few thousand bucks. I wonder if it’s location dependent.
