I considered going thru craigslist when I was upgrading jeeps a few months back (sold my other truck on cl last month very quickly and easily) but the dealers are hard up for inventory and the added benefit, as you mentioned, of reducing the sales tax liability was enough to justify not bothering with the hassle of a private party sale.

I guess it all depends on what you have. A high mileage, older car, you may still be better off selling private. A reasonable mileage, newer car, then yeah, many dealers are paying silly money for them.
Couple months back, I thought I'd see what CarMax and Carvana would give me for my old A4. CarMax only offered like a grand and Carvana wasn't even interested at all. I guess they still have standards. Haha. On the bright side, I got more than triple what Carmax offered by selling on CL. Sold it FAST too. But yeah, lots of jokers to sort through. The usual scammers, the "will you take payments" guys, the "what's the lowest you'll take" guys, so on and so forth. Still worth it for a quick, cash sale for top dollar. Pre-pandemic, that car was WORTHLESS. Like as in you couldn't give it away. Nowadays, even geriatric Euro cars be worth something. We're living in Bizarro World right now, I swear. Everything's upside down.

And the used (and new) car worlds take another hit... Apparently there are somewhere north of 300k cars that were trashed in storms the last month or so and there aren't enough cars for sale to replace them because lots of dealers also lost their inventories. Some people are on waiting lists and won't get their replacements for months.

Fun fact - those cars that explode and run off cliffs in movies are flood title cars so Michael Bay has all kinds of shit to blow up now.

Carvana should pay up for that. All you have to do is plug your VIN and you will have a number in 5 minutes.
Then put it on OfferUp for 2k more for a week or so."I don't pretend to have all the answers, and I think there's something to be said for that" -One For The Road

Yeah Samurai and Geo Trackers/Suzuki Sidekick can be super fun off road. They’re tiny, lightweight, and can crawl all over things bigger vehicles have issues with. The Samurai actually had a solid front axle and only came in manual transmission.

They are fun off-road mainly because if you crash them their value only goes down a little - running they are already worth nothing.
That one is almost $17000, fuck that.

They were pieces of shit then, and still are. The reason they were so good for off-road 10-15 years ago is you could literally buy them with money found in the sofa, the width let you go down restricted trails, and mules and other ohvs were going for $10,000 and more.
