I tried to get an offer from Carvana on my '18 Megacab cummins. Last page said I stumped them and they had to contact an appraisal expert and then didn't hear anything again.
I checked Vroom and they didn't offer enough to make me consider selling to them.
Just finished up my Carvana experience last Saturday. I was looking to buy a pre-owned Explorer and they offered me 3k more for my Taurus than any local dealership. I wanted to make the trade work for the sales tax savings but the first one had a terrible odor and several dings and scratches and the second one had the 4cyl EcoBoost that blew a lot of black smoke when you hammered down on the accelerator so I ended up just selling them the Taurus and buying local. Pretty easy to deal with but when all said and done I did spend a lot of time online and on the phone. FYI, I don’t think a lot of people realize this but if you can give them the name(referral) of someone who has purchased a vehicle from them you get an extra $500 credit towards your purchase and if you end up buying they send the referral $100.
Interested in buying a '20 Raptor? (6.5k miles, no mods, 801A pkg) Or if you can find a used 2020 GT350R, I can add cash on my end.I'd gladly give you a bid on it. Just need the VIN, miles, modifications, and damage.
Most, if not all dealerships pay a referral and always have.

Would love to buy your Raptor.
I have a MY19 GT350R with <2000 miles coming in on trade for a MY21 GT500, probably June-ish timeframe.
What??
Car dealership aren't going anywhere. Some of you are lost in space.
Do you do bids on any vehicles? Do you work with vehicles out of state?Next time let me bid it, I routinely outbid them!

Eh I definitely see them as a dying breed with maybe 2-3 decades max. Couple things working against them:
- Millennials and GenZ are big on instant gratification and little on ackward/difficult conversations, so negotiating/haggling is a no-go for them. Gen X and older millennials are the last base that wants to deal with a dealership. The gen that comes next is going to be even less-so interested in this exchange.
- Less are going to be purchasing vehicles due to the rise of ridesharing and rising costs of ownership. I don't see personal ownership sticking around once EV's become the norm and especially if a few companies produce a time-lease model (IE pay $X amount for X number of miles, touch a button and a car shows up minutes later on autopilot and takes you where you need to go).
- Rise and popularity of direct manufacturer to buyer model (ie Tesla), wysiwyg pricing model, no bs markups or tactics, etc.
- If they start taxing people per mile (See Buttigieg's latest), expect people to really shun away from personal ownership (alternatively, the rise of older beaters where a simple disconnect of a particular sensor will stop it from accruing mileage).
- I'm sure big name/big brand dealers will be around because it will also be able to leverage repairs/rentals, but your local used-car lot is going to go bye-bye as the Carvana's of the world take that place (see direct video streaming vs blockbuster).
Your missing the point. as @GTSpartan said you still need the big name dealerships. Warranty and recall claims.

Who is going to the no name , no credit car lots?I mean, I literally said "I'm sure big name/big brand dealers will be around because it will also be able to leverage repairs/rentals" so...
Carvana’s referral program is a little different than the traditional dealership, they give the buyer a $500 credit towards a purchase and if you buy then they also send the person that referred you $100Most, if not all dealerships pay a referral and always have.
