Lounge pole: Buying a used car online


Sep 10, 2019, 12:14 PM

no test drive.

1) Yay?

2) Nay?

3) Holy Shid, you would have to be an idiot?

Clarification: Have driven the same make/model/year so know what to expect.

Just send the money to the guy, Western Union, and let him deliver it to you.


Shouldn't be a problem.

If Carvana, you get a 7 day test period to return the car.


Sep 10, 2019, 12:26 PM

If you're buying a U S E D car sight unseen, you're about to get FBCoachSC®-screwed.

Do you happen to know the protections they have from


Sep 10, 2019, 12:28 PM

getting in a perpetual loop of the buyer returning the car?

badge-donor-05yr.jpgringofhonor-aero.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

No, but I do know a person that bought the third one they


Sep 10, 2019, 2:13 PM

had delivered after sending back the first two, all three different models.

ringofhonor-rhtig.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


I did that.


Sep 10, 2019, 3:02 PM

Bought an Avalon that rattled, then a Jetta that smelled like weed, then settled on a Mazda 6 that is great. Carvana is fantastic.

badge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


Not gonna lie, tempted to try Carvana next time I buy


Sep 10, 2019, 12:58 PM [ in reply to If Carvana, you get a 7 day test period to return the car. ]

Didn't you have a good experience with them?

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Exceptional experience.


Sep 10, 2019, 2:12 PM

Would definitely do again, except I haven't seen any prices that make me want to jump on vehicles I'm looking for at the moment. When I bought the Mazda, they were considerably cheaper than anywhere else I found the model I was looking for. Now, they seem to be middle of the pack on prices, but some people want zero hassle with car buying so it's still a viable platform. I'm in no hurry, so I can wait out finding what I want at the price I want for now.

ringofhonor-rhtig.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


I have noticed the same thing


Sep 10, 2019, 3:06 PM

When I bought the Mazda, it was 1500 cheaper than an equivalent that I found. Now the pricing is more in line with everyone else, sometimes higher. Check out this overpriced Tacoma

https://www.carvana.com/vehicle/1250517

Which is priced higher than the original sticker.

That made me chuckle a little.

Used car?


Sep 10, 2019, 12:49 PM



flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


If it's low mileage CPO and you can check the Carfax....


Sep 10, 2019, 1:09 PM

not the craziest thing I heard. If it's Carvana I have no idea how that shizz works and I'd love a full recap iffin you do it.

badge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


Choose the car from the website, arrange payment, then


Sep 10, 2019, 2:15 PM

wait for it to show up in the driveway at your house on a car hauler. If you don't like it, call them and send it back and repeat until you get one that suits you. It was really easy.

ringofhonor-rhtig.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


if the price and the car looked right, I'd try this.


Sep 10, 2019, 5:05 PM

but only with a totally painless return policy and a competitive price.

2024 white level memberbadge-donor-15yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

How would this be different than the newspaper classified ads?


Sep 10, 2019, 4:27 PM

Same kind of concerns there, right? If you do your due diligence, you should be OK. The "Don't be dumb." philosophy may apply nicely here.

And don't agree to meet the guy for the purchase in the back alley of the liquor store.

When we drink, we get drunk.
When we get drunk, we fall asleep.
When we fall asleep, we commit no sin.
When we commit no sin, we go to heaven.
So, let's all get drunk, and go to heaven!
