Yeah I keep hearing that as well but never happens to me, this is the 2nd time they were the same price as my dealer. this time for my 22 Expedition Limited so I traded it in with my dealer instead and saved me an additional $3,500 in Texas sales tax!
Carvana offered me $12,700 for my trade. Dealer today offered me $4,900. Carvana for the win. Selling a used car private party seems to be a lost art. Nothing but scammers and low ballers.

I guess I must have lucked out and picked a good dealership, they've always been right there with all the other online car buyers, Carvana, etc., and sometimes actually better. This is my 4th vehicle from them in the last 8 years or so I guess that might help!

What’s up, 9/25? Day 3 and I’m still a little hopped up on that new truck smell. Moved in yesterday. Lumber/ladder rack is still in the box. After market bed mat and bed step are ordered.
I understand there are some good threads here on some basic do’s and don’t’s— stuff that’s not in the manual. I’m not good at doing searches here. Help a brother out?

Ordered a Peragon tonneau and am trying to figure out when I should be charging. Conventional wisdom seems to be at night when rates are low, but I’ve got solar which is dumping about 10 KWh back on the grid a day, so it seems I should be using that and charging during the day BUT when I charge it pulls way more than I can concurrently produce (about 10kw vs 3.5kw or so) so a bit lost on this right now.

I bank a pretty good number of KwH from what would be considered peak usage hours. I’ll charge Buzz off-peak (8p-10a) and hope my DWP credits/debits me fairly. They aren’t known for that, but I have bigger fish to fry vs wrangling with them over pennies per KwH…
