Listing location might help.

You can try to sell it on here or I'd just sell it back to the dealership you bought it from.

sell it back to the dealership you bought it from.

One would lose an arm and two legs this way

If this individual is relocating then they probably don't have the time to sell it online or Craigslist... although it would sell quick. Over a few hundred bucks I'd take it back to a dealer...

Assuming this is for a job, I would negotiate it to the company paying for the relocation.

Well, it sucks that you have to sell it. On the flip side, you have one of, if not the, most sought after vehicles on the market, so selling it shouldn’t be hard.

It also looks like you have an EX-P judging by the dual-LED headlights, which plays into your favor.

First things first, how much time are we talking about before relocating? A week or a month? And how much time before relocation do you have to take care of selling the car? That matters.

Here’s what I’d do in order of time commitment:

The first three you can sell your car from the comfort of your home, and they’ll arrange to pick it up from your house.

Carvana isn’t going to negotiate with you.

I’ve used Vroom 3 times in the past to sell cars, and I’ve always been pleased. On one car, I replied to the email asking them to increase their offer, I also provided some evidence that their offer was too low, and within 15 minutes, I had a revised offer that beat all others by a long shot.


GTMV are good people, but they’re looking to take the car to auction, so don’t expect more than MSRP.

Your local dealership would have no issue lowballing you on a trade to get a sought after vehicle on their lot that they can turn around and sell in 45 minutes.

- Local dealership appraisal

This option is going to take some time. You’ll need to go back to where you bought it, explain your situation, and hopefully have a sympathetic sales and finance manager agree to cancel your deal. This is wholly dependent on the dealer as they have no requirement to take it back unless they’re one of the dealers or you live in a state that allows returns or has a cooling-off period. It also depends on when you bought it. It’s more likely that they’ll take it back after a week than a month. But be prepared to sit in the dealership for quite some time.

- Local dealership buyback

You’ll certainly sell it, but it’ll take some effort on your part. At the very least, you’ll need to post it in a few different places. Additionally, if you took out a loan, there’s the lead time from clearing the payment to releasing the title to you then sending it to the purchaser. There’s also a level of trust here that some people are apprehensive about, given the amount of money at stake. For some people, it’s not a lot of money, but for others, it’s their 2nd largest purchase aside from buying a house, so they’re understandably skeptical about private purchases. Now, if you happen to have a loan from a bank that the buyer also banks with, then things become infinitely more manageable and relieve you of much of the leg work to ensure the payment posts and the title is sent. If you don’t have a loan, and you own it free and clear, then I’d try this option first if you have a month before relocating. Worst case scenario, you can’t get what you want, then you turn to option 1 or 2. On second thought, if you’ve never done a private sell of a car, and you’re strapped for time, then don’t do it. This isn’t the time to be learning on the fly. If you mess up and sign the wrong line on the title, you’ll be long gone and it’ll be an absolute pain in the butt to get it fixed or reissued.

- Private sale

You wouldn’t have posted about this if you weren’t in a bind and trying to get things done quickly. With that being said, good luck with the sale, and take care during the relocation.

Thanks for your response! We actually paid cash so we don’t have to deal with a loan, etc. Unfortunately, we only have until the end of January. Thank you for your advice!

Edited to add: We got the Premium Package. I was so looking forward to driving this car for years to come!

That makes things infinitely easier. It’s just a matter of whether you want to sell it for what you paid to cut your losses or if you want to try to take advantage of the market demand. The first option would have it gone in a matter of days while the second might take about a week or two. In either case you have options. Good luck!

Thanks for responding again! We don’t want to make any money. Do you mean that we might be able to get back what we paid for it? ($500 over sticker.)

That’s easy! You’ll sell it in no time if you ask for MSRP + $500.

Hell, someone would give you $500 just for selling it at MSRP.

A dealer’s documentation fees alone are $500.

Hmmm. That’s very heartening! Thank you very much for your time!
