You actually lost $1,350 on the private sale book value (be worth it not to have to deal with the lowballers believe me!)
Actually, after I got the initial appraisal from Carvana, I went to a dealership to price out a new car. I had them drive the FRS, and give me a trade in value. The offer was $14000. When I showed the sales person my offer from Carvana, he said "then sell it to Carvana - we can't touch that". So I did. I will be going back to that salesman and buying the car tomorrow. I will let you know what car I will be buying.
