I know this is anecdotal, but I ran a Carvana offer today just to see what they’d give me for my one year old Subaru Forester. Their offer is $2,000 higher than my payoff quote from the bank. I haven’t tried shopping around to see how that offer compares to Carmax or a dealership. I still need this vehicle, but it’s crazy nonetheless.

Carvana is offering me $7k over my payoff quote on my 2.5 year old lease.

My lease ended recently and Subaru cut me a $5k check to take it back. They gave me another lease on a new vehicle for a lower payment.

It's 2.5 years but I only need it a year. They suggested I bring it back in then and they'd likely buy it back off me if things don't improve.
