Well worth the couple hundred bucks lost in sales tax savings and you can shop multiple dealers for your new car knowing you don’t have to negotiate the trade with every single one of them. It also opens up options buying from private sellers who don’t have the capability of taking your trade.
All of this is great because I’m pretty sure I was going to throat punch the next sales guy who tried to tell me “manuals are too hard to sell.”

Anyone know how are the carvana & vroom prices are comparing to carmax (the previous easy trade in/sell option)?
I’ll keep my OG forever, just like hearing about the used car market dynamics that are going on, in case we upgrade our BMW SUV.
