First time shopper...
I am considering using Carvana. Pretty sure I know the answer, but wondering from those who have gone through the experience. My curiosity is this:
Is the Carvana "premium" with it? By premium I mean the slightly higher retail cost + delivery to not have to deal with a dealer.
The car I am looking for is available from multiple local dealers, with lower prices listed on newer model years. I am getting offered less in trade when I do their trade tool, so get the feeling that even though the sticker price is lower, the lower trade value, unknown financing (I am not pre-qualified outside of Carvana), and the time spent in the dealer make the Carvana model that much more appealing.
Anyone had this thought process on their first potential buy, or went with a dealer simply to chase the lower price?
