Isn't what RODO offered exactly what these companies do? Am I missing something?
Which companies? Vroom/Carvana - not exactly. Vroom/Carvana will then resell my car. Rodo would likely sell to a wholesaler who would then sell to Carvana/Vroom, hence their price is lower. The issue is what will be paid to Chrysler and the amount of the difference that I would pocket.
Rough math:
Vroom/Carvana offer: $28,000
Rodo $26,500
Buyout: $24,000
Tax on Buyout: $2,000
Vroom/Carvana - should write me a check for $4,000, but won't since they can't get a written payoff without the taxes.
Rodo - would write me a check for $500 since they will pay the taxes.
