Is Vroom a Safe way to Sell

[SunnyS]

Just got a price on my 2019 Redeye and I would be crazy not to take it but they want the signed title before the check comes. Has anyone felt with this type of Company. I think Caravan offers the same service but have not checked there yet. Just want to know if anyone else has dealt with Vroom before.

 

[ChargerChallenger]

Have not but would think you're safe and if you don't mind asking what price?

They offered my $59k for my '19 redeye with 12k miles. I passed. At $65k I would have sold. I don't know where I would be willing to meet in between, but it would have to be close to 65...

That sounds too low and what did Carvana offer you or did you even ask them?

 

[EricG]

Yeah they said they needed more info and details about the car, didn't want to hassle with it...

Wow! How many miles are on your car, is it a regular body? I would take that offer in a heartbeat.

Just sold a Ram 1500 and a 'Hawk to Givemethevin.
Took a while before they came and picked them up, but the checks were good.

Avatar looks to be a standard body. That's insane money. I paid $76k for my loaded '20 WB RE new. Could prob make a profit. Wow.

Same thing with Carvana...said specialist is needed and would get back to me...never did.

Just requested a quote from Vroom. Will report back for giggles (or not )?

 

[SunnyS]

The question is who has done this. To sign the title over and not have the check is scary to me.But if someone has done this and knows it is safe . I am OK with it.

Were you honest with them and admitted to it being a crew cab, or did you just put down "Hellcat"?

Did you get the check before the car left?

Per Vroom.

• We pick up, you get paid: Vroom provides free pick-up right from your driveway. We'll FedEx your check within 2-3 days after picking up your vehicle.

Take your car first without payment??? I would be scared myself.

 

[Jimmy N.]

Did you get the check before the car left?

Yep, had both checks well in advance. But since they couldn't be cashed until the vehicles were picked up, that didn't do me any good in the meantime.

Not that I expect any of these companies to pay before they have the vehicle. They're risking a lot as it is by buying unseen.

 

[AeroF16]

I don't see much risk here. You should at least have a signed contract when they come to pickup the vehicle and you're working with an established business vs. an individual. Their entire business model is based off buying cars from people and customer service, that wouldn't work well if they start screwing people over.

I've sold to Carvana before and it was great. Told my neighbor about it, he sold a car to them as well, same great experience. Carvana told me they could show up with a check or I could choose a direct deposit. I chose direct deposit, which took a few days, but I thought it was the better of the two choices because I knew my bank would put a hold on the check for 10-14 days.

 

[Jimmy N.]

My only issue was the time it took Givemethevin to get a transport to show up. Cars just sat there for two weeks, and I didn't want to drive either one since I had technically sold them.
Guess that they wanted to get both at once contributed to the delay.

Took the checks to my bank for deposit, and they showed as funds available the following day.
It was trickier to then transfer the money to another bank's account as they have low limits on how much can be transferred in a day. Ended up wiring 90% of it to myself.
