The V60 is much lower to the ground than I expected.

That is a really strong flip, @nyccarguy, especially for today. That’s what? $10kish profit?My guess is you’ll have one of the last big profit ones.
Right on the nose. My check from Carvana was a little over $10. To be perfectly honest, the way things have been going my shoot for the stars number when the dealers ask “what do you want for it?” was going to be $5K in my pocket. I didn’t expect this much. Everything I’ve been read about Carvana recently had me thinking something bad was going to happen. It has been killing me to keep this under my hat for about a week. There is someone here very good at keeping secrets!

Carvana bought it for $62,000
I’ll post a few more details later.

Her new X3. Not nearly as imposing as Ray's phantom menace, but she loves it!
I like the wheels.
I drove it to the Cape today. Nice ride, cool tech. But, I'm still just not an SUV guy.

Can't remember if I mentioned it or not, but I also went ahead and placed a deposit on a Polestar 3.You’re awesome. Thank you for single-handedly trying to pull us out of a recession!
I've been exploring options to move on from the Polestar 2 so I can try something else out before the 3 arrives (at least a year away). So when people recommend to my wife and I that we should just lease, my response is usually along the lines of, "a lease tends to be too restrictive," and that's being proven out here...So, what I've realized is how distinct the dealership is from the financial arm (kinda knew that, but this really emphasized the point). And...the Polestar 2 is perfectly fine and not worth the hassle to move on from.
- A Ford dealer who really wanted to take the Polestar in and sell me a Mach E contacted the Volvo/Polestar dealer who told them only a Volvo/Polestar dealer could take it in on trade. Based on reading the contract, not sure that's right, but okay.
- Went to the dealership network that includes Polestar to get a trade, thinking they could simply buy it back. The payoff they come back with includes sales tax, which I point out, but they insisted that's the payoff they'd be subject to.
- Talked to Polestar Financial Services directly about the early term provision. Got a quote, but their wholesale value is $2,500 less than the trade offers I've received (the trade offers were in line with the payoff before sales tax).

Bavsound contacted me today and agreed that the E36 convertible kit would fit my car, they offered me the speakers at the same price and threw in free shipping. So I'm a happy camper.
