I m pretty sure Brampton Assembly is closed for a few weeks
I heard a rumor that remaining 2021 orders for Canadians will be cancelled & in turn the used car prices are soaring
Someone called me Friday to sell mine & possibly send it to the US
2016 with 1500 miles ( the beer store is half a mile away )

Geeze....cancelling Canadian orders...what's next..cancelling all beer sales and streaming beer trucks to the states...Bowtie..your best days are behind you...ginger ale is as close as yer gonna get to suds this summer

I think it is a pretty good deal.. I would only be conflicted if I were somewhat attached to the car or not going to be getting another HC

Attached to a 4-door?? What have I missed here?

It's actually not a race car build. Came stock with a 351W, that I wanna fix up and get running. Build sort of a show truck out of. Being only 2WD, it's not much good for anything up here in the pacific northwest.

I'm not much for forums, to be honest. 😂 Plus everything I wanna learn about them is a quick Google search away. This forum is the only one I've ever cared about.

On a serious note......have you tried the Carvana online offer??

I just did and they offered me 4k more for my Caddy than the KBB instant offer. They will be here Thursday afternoon to pick it up.

Might be worth a look to see what number they throw back at you.

I almost didn't check Carvana because they lowballed me in the past just like CarMax, but a friend works at a dealership and was telling me to check them because used car prices are really high right now. I

I couldn't believe Carvana came back with the offer they did.

 

[Magnified]

Roger that.

 

[Piening2150]

Definitely see what Carvana offers and compare. These values are nuts. My truck went up about $3500 since Aug (and is supposedly worth about $5k more to them than I paid for it a year ago)!

My son's Daytona is up about $2500 since Aug (and is supposedly worth about the same to them as I paid for it new 4+ years ago with 35k mi on it now)!

I know there's a shortage and it's just supply and demand, but this is crazy.

Yep....I was amazed when they shot back their number. This is the same car I had them give an offer on in Jan 2021.....and their offer today was 6k higher than in Jan. I had to look at it several times to make sure I was reading it right.
I did not waste any time starting their buying process after I saw the offer. So far it's been pretty easy. They said it would take a day or two to look over the paperwork and get back to me, but I had a response within an hour. I then scheduled a time for them to come and pickup the car. They will be here Thursday afternoon.
I'll let everyone know if it goes good or bad afterward.

If it all goes well......I'll probably put in to see what they will give me for my truck.

Carvana only offering a $50,080. This guy is at $53,000 sight unseen (and he put the thunderbird on his lot at $18,500.

Ok cool....at least now you know that you're not leaving money on the table.

But I am like 280 miles or something from their nearest location, so that may effect it.

 

[Stormtrooper1320]

Not sure if that effects or not.
They offered me a free ride home if I brought it to their location on the northwest side of DC, or I could just have them bring their rollback and get it. I opted to have them bring their rollback and save me at least 4 hours of my day for me.
They didn't have a charge for doing that, so why should I go through the hassle of dealing with the Capital Beltway.

But they may not want to come as far as you need them to.

Chip Shortage Is Bad for GM but Worse for Car Buyers
The biggest winners are used-car dealers, but car manufacturers gain too. Secondhand prices support new prices, the benefit of which they share with dealerships through clawback agreements and reduced purchase incentives. Their leasing operations also gain from high used-car values.
