I'm selling my 2020 GT roadster. It has 4160 miles. Except for the bruised left bumper, which was replaced by the dealer who caused it with a new one, the car has been in no accidents. It is in perfect condition. You can eat off the engine compartment.

I'm in Southern California. What should I ask for it?

What do you think of prices on cargurus, mbusa and bat?

MalibuScott

There are no 2020s with similar mileage. Those with substantially more are being offered in the $105,000 range. But I think that is too high. I think a sale at around $95k would be appropriate.

Scott! Where are you going? You never did like that car It seems.

Left coast price $98500

MalibuScott

Too many cars. Not enough time.

I have a friend that's looking. If you can post or PM a couple of pics, colors and options I can forward them to him. Does not need to be detailed

MalibuScott

I sent you a PM. Here is a redacted copy of the build sheet. I purchased the car in September 2020. I also have the battery charger that came with the car and, of course, two keys/fobs.

Received and email sent. Thank you.

It was never the same after it got damaged at the dealer........

I can totally understand that. The OCD of "it isn't perfect anymore" kinda spoils it.

Scott: if you don’t want to have any hassle, give Carvana a try. You do everything online and get a quote almost immediately. I was very pleasantly surprised at the offer on my ‘19 Audi etron as it was thousands above what Audi dealers, etc. offered me. They will pick it up at your house and give you a certified check at the same time.

Just a thought.

GLWS regardless of what you choose to do!

Carvana is not nirvana …

They are not in the market for cars like AMGs and Porsches. They want to buy Lexus and minivans and SUVs. Don’t waste your time with that Scott.

I have someone interested here and one of my clients is a car broker and also has someone interested.

Let's see what happens.

I am patient. I don't need to sell but I believe cars should be driven, not kept in the garage.

Were you ablew to get it sold?
I'm looking for a 2018/2019 C roadster (sorry- I misread your original post. I thought this was a C) but I might still consider a 2020 from the West Coast.

MalibuScott

I still have it. I decided to keep it even though I don't drive it much. It only has 4340 miles on it after 4 years.

Glad you’re keeping it. That way you will look in on the site and continue to share your wisdom with us.


If you decide to sell again why not try BAT? You can list with a reserve as you know.

Your C should bring premium bids considering the condition it’s in.

Best regards

Jerry

MalibuScott

Thanks, Jerry. It's not a C. Just plain vanilla. But I plan to keep it and give it to my daughter.

JSwan724

Good move!! i know she will enjoy it!

DrNorm

Is she single?
Please send photos (of the car)
(though there must be an easier way to get a GT roadster?)

My girlfriend says you can donate it to her. Maybe a write-off

What's "BAT"? Short for BATmobile? Because most look like one

Send me your CV first. But if you have anything less than a professional doctoral degree, don't bother. My daughter is a genius and works at the top law firm in the world. And she is beautiful. Her mother is a British actress and former Bond Girl.

DrNorm

triple-boarded MD, here.
Thanks for the heads up, though. I know better than to mess with a lawyer!
Also, my wife might have something to say about all this.
"former Bond girl". well done. Nicely played.
we also run an exotic animal sanctuary in Kona, HI. you can check us out at www.threeringranch.org

still searching for a 2018/19 GTC roadster to buy, though.

FOLLOW-UP: wIth regards to the "below market" car that instigated this post.... the seller emailed me that he "works on an offshore oil rig and is too busy to manage the sale of his car" and has now turned it over to a broker in Spokane, WA. (but he had implied that the car was in SoCal?)

I went to the broker's website. It says they are a broker and auto-shipper: SmartWay Auto LLC. Very professional website (https://smartwayllc.com/) that "looks" legit but also nearly identical to a company in CA, Smartway Auto Sales.
Then, I searched for their business in Spokane and the biz license was issued only 4 months ago. When I looked up the address with Google Maps street view, it was a retail space commercial office building in downtown Spokane. Definitely not a "car lot" or "trucking company" or anything auto-related. I suppose it "could" be just an office space with all cars/trucks kept in a warehouse somewhere?

At this point, it's almost certainly a scam. The SSLClassifieds listing is no longer there. I was discussing with someone that this seems like a lot of work, but I suppose for a $75-80k "long con" it's probably not? Especially if they can do it a few times.
It still doesn't explain the CarFax report that does show a 2018 GT C with only 700 miles at a recent dealership visit and auto registration in CA???? He may have just stolen the vehicle photos (and VIN info) from someone else's internet post?
Other than calling the dealership the c ar was recently serviced at, can anyone think of a way to track down that actual vehicle?

Before I give up completely (b/c I REALLY did like that car- and if real, the price was very good), I will probably call the "broker" to see what they have to say. Their website says to "call for an appointment to view a.ny of their cars" (though they don't actually advertise any inventory?) I do know someone in Spokane who could go to there and do that to find out once and for all if it really exists and is for sale.
At this point, it's frustrating, but also kinda fun to try and "catch" them. Other than my contact info (which is pretty easy to find anyway) I have not given them anything of value (except my time).
