How was the experience of selling to Carvana? Easy, or a pain in the butt?

Need to sell my S4, in the next month or so, and they were offering the best price out of all the other online buyers.

Yeah they also gave me the 8% off the 2021 that they found for me. As for Carvana its been great dealing with them so far. Waiting on a ETA for my new car so I can setup a pickup date. Carvana has approved everything and is waiting on me.

Yea me too. Right now I'm hoping that production goes SLOW enough that I can delay my pickup until October.

I was told by dealer today there are always incentives so we shall see. I definitely am hoping for mid to late October for delivery also. Not sure if they release any 2022 in September? Hope not because I think best incentives are usually October thru December. Confirmed my performance center delivery today so really psyched about that!

I just ordered mine today. Decided to buy a 21 instead of a 22 and the dealer gave me 8% off sticker instead of ordering since they are hurting for sales.

Congratulations on your build.......I'm a week or two ahead of you with my order for a M440i convertible and am doing PCD as well...did you actually get a delivery date for your car or just get confirmed that you will pick it up there?

My car has been at the port for 12 days and PCD won't schedule me until it gets on a ship.....

No comfirmed delivery date. I'm just booked for the Performance Center Delivery. I emailed them asking for a time frame so I can arrange travel and was told it will be about a 2 week notice before car is ready.

It was actually moved up a build week to week 34. It sat in ready for production for about 11 days. Today its gone through several phases and is now in assembly begins 👍

very, very, nice....

renig · 08-24-2021, 05:33 PM

Car is now in final assembly. I'm going to call geniuses tomorrow and ask for a delivery estimate. I'm guessing beginning to middle of October. I realize there's a lot of variables that could delay delivery. Just would be tough for me getting time off of work in November to go to Performance Delivery Center.

For what I noticed with my car they can’t really tell till it’s on a ship. Then they have a good estimate. Mine is still on the ship around Florida on its way to Philadelphia then for some crazy reason back down to Baltimore where it gets off and hopefully on a truck to the Chicago area.

That seems like a strange path! Lol.. My car is now listed as ready for transport. I just called BMW genius and they confirmed what you said. They can't give any estimated delivery time frame yet.

Our cars are very close! Mine left the factory this morning and is on the way to the port.

Nice! Maybe they'll be on the same ship. Where's yours getting delivered?

renig · 08-25-2021, 03:19 PM

Just went to dealer and locked in my finance rate for 60 days. They told me that the car could be ready in 3 weeks 😁

Are you referring to Performance Center Delivery? If you can do it you absolutely should!! If you want to do it you should make the arrangements with your dealer and the Performance Center now, so your car will be shipped there for the delivery to you.

My date for Performance Center delivery got locked in after the car got on the ship after sitting at the port for 2 weeks but schedule for delivery is almost 4 weeks after the ship arrives in Charleston....goes to VPC first and then PC wants it for at least 2 weeks before delivery ....these cars are worth the wait....

That's good information! So when your car got on ship you received a date for PCD and its about a 4 week wait once car gets on ship? Appreciate the info 🙏

Almost correct......actually 42 days from time it got on the ship so closer to 6 weeks

8/19. Boarded ship
8/20. Contacted PCD to schedule
9/30. Earliest delivery date offered

Was your car a Mexico build? Dealer told me 3 weeks yesterday. Your timeline seems more realistic.
