Just purchased mine in March from CarMax. It was delivered to my house!
2016 BMW 228i xDrive Convertible 25k miles $24,998 + $100 transfer fee Convenience package, cold weather package, technology package, leather, and upgraded wheels. Still had the wind deflector which is outrageously expensive to replace. |

Hi there! First time posting -- just joined the BMW family yesterday after many years without a car, but borrowing my friend's E90 LCI 330i during the pandemic awoke something in me and after combining that with some mild early mid-life crisis, here I am lol.
Since I'm a car shopping newbie I figured I'd go with CPO to minimize variance -- I'm OK with not getting the best deal if I don't end up with a lemon. I went through a stressful couple months trying to learn about the car buying process and hunting for inventory (it seems like CPO M240i listings seldom make it a week without getting snatched up) and almost got burned flying down to SoCal to check out a model that the dealer gave away to another buyer after I submitted my credit application, but eventually I found one that isn't quite what I was looking for at first but probably just what I need: 2017 M240i automatic coupe $33,499 (sticker MSRP $50,475) 31,490 miles, minor scratch on the front bumper but otherwise very good shape, CA-only Alpine White / Oyster Dakota leather Premium package, driver assistance package, navigation system, CarPlay, wireless charging CPO warranty runs through first half of next year Other than the mileage being a little higher than I'd prefer for the price point, I definitely focused on Estoril Blue or Long Beach Blue at the beginning of my search but white opened up the available inventory (relatively speaking) and it's honestly growing on me, I might not even wrap it after all besides those side view mirrors. I also seriously considered the convertible (especially in light of it discontinuing for 2022) since I actually live somewhere I could use it 75% of the year, but this is how things landed and I'm pretty happy with it (sorry I only have a dealer photo at the moment). |

I can't believe how slim the margins are at Carvana compared to a typical dealer. It's probably because they make a little on the car, more on the financing and whether or not folks opt for their extended warranty.

That is surprising, I would expect them to make a bit more than that! I suppose multiply that by the many hundreds of cars they probably sell nationwide every day and it makes sense.

Agreed 100% 60. From what I can tell, they are trying to disrupt the used car market and how people buy used cars. Take a look at their Facebook page. Reading through the comments, there are more than a few comments from smaller used car dealers pissed off at them. They are basically accusing Carvana of overbidding at Manheim to outbid everyone else.

I sold my '20 230i X Drive 'vert to Carvana for almost $39K, saw it on their website @ $42K 2 days later. Seems like they just get 'em in/move 'em out and make it up in volume. Mine was gone from their site in less than 5 days......

Similar experience. Sold my 2015 228i M Sport with 32,000 miles for $21,800 to Carvana. Trade was $16k and CarMax was $17. It sold in one day for $22,900. I was thrilled.

Another on line dealer similar to carvana is Vroom.com
I bought two cars from and sold them one. Fair prices for very nice cars. I was totally happy with both cars and both deals. I look on their site often and have noticed they don’t have inventory they used to. Cars are selling. Hap |
