They asked for pics of the dings. They said someone would be out today to pick up the car and have a check for me. Derrick showed up, and after looking at the car said here's your check. While he was loading up my car, I went to the bank and deposited the check. It took less than 20 minutes! Carvana is real! I know you're going to ask what I will be buying - and you will be surprised. Details will be forthcoming.

So you got right at the top of the Blue Book value for roughly your area.
Good deal but not exactly earth shattering. Now if it is a good move depends on what you are buying and what it cost a year ago compared to today. If it cost the same or less than it did then you made a good move. Others may not be so lucky (or smart) though.
You actually lost $1,350 on the private sale book value (be worth it not to have to deal with the lowballers believe me!)
