Yeah, I filled out the online form on a Thursday, and they were here with a check on the following Tuesday. They texted me to remind me that they were coming. Derrick was about 20 minutes late, but the deal only took 20 minutes. He loaded up my car, and I went to deposit the check. It cleared the next day. OK, so I'm $19343 richer....now, what to buy.

I'm sure I will be mocked, ridiculed, and vilified, but I went with a new Chevy Bolt. I've always been interested in the electric cars. I drove this one, and it was great. I can fit my fat bike in the back without taking off the front tire. I can drive it to the free charging station by my favorite Target, get a free 2 hour charge while I'm riding the fatty for a couple hours.

There are unbelievable incentives right now from GM on the Bolt. A $39000 car cost me $20840. I had a couple extra rebates - $1500 loyalty for owning a Chevy Trax, and another $1660 on GM card.

Of course, I had to pay $2000 tax and license and the little fees they get you with, but for a cost of $3500, I sold my 5 and a half year old FRS and got a new electric car.

Seriously, if you want to sell your car, and you don't want the hassle of listing it on Craigslist, and you don't want to get a lowball offer from the dealership, Carvana may be the right thing for you.

Alright, let the negative comments fly!
