FWIW, I sold my last car to Vroom and it was pretty seamless, no issues. I haven't purchased from them though, which is where I think the complaints come from.

Prices are officially nuts right now. Just for grins, I plugged in my Alltrack that I bought new in Feb for $29k (plus taxes and tags of course) to vroom- the offer was $31286. It had a MSRP of $38k. If they are paying 31.3, it really costs them 31.5 since they have to come and pick it up, do paperwork, clean it up, take pictures and what-not. They'll probably have to sell it for $35k or so make anything and that is more than the car would have been new back in 2019.
I clearly have more invested in the car (I shipped it and added PPF/ceramic) and I have zero interest in selling it, but it is interesting how screwy this market is. Why would anybody buy used over new right now?

What's even worse, my sister has a car at a second house in Santa Fe- a 2015 Equinox with about 15k miles. When I was buying my car in Jan/Feb, she said "it is just sitting there, why don't you trade it in?" and we got a quote of $15k from Vroom. We never sold it and she said "I'm going there in a week, maybe I should sell it." I just pulled another Vroom quote - $20,392. That's more than a 30% increase.

Your phone needs a charge...
These prices are nuts
I paid $29,865 all in, June 2019. That’s a loss I might be willing to take.

Unless you need to buy a car to replace this one. You might be able to get $27,500 or $28k here on the classifieds
I can just drive the Tacoma till Nov when she goes back into hibernation.

My '20 Charger Scat Pack that I just sold to Vroom for $46,500...
They originally had it listed for sale for $51,500!
The MSRP was (only) $50,165 on it!
I just checked and they lowered it to $49,999, but still:

Read the "sold one to vroom" thread over at the leasehckr forum. Really bad feedback from users keep me from using them.

Agree. I sold to Carvana after reading about issues with Vroom. Carvana paid me $1K more and was good to work with.

I've sold two cars to Carvana. Both transactions were seamless. In one case Carvana was a couple of grand more that Vroom, in the second, a couple of hundred less, but it was dead simple and they hand you a check - which, IMO, is better than "we'll transfer the money in a couple of days" - If I give somebody my car then I want my money now. The Vroom model "we'll take your car, look at it and send you a check" doesn't work for me.
