Have you checked AutoTrader? I think that you might be able to do better than what Carvana is offering. That's exactly what I paid for mine about 2-weeks ago and it is also AWD, the Scorpion Edition, Certified Pre-Owned and with 2,000 miles. CPO was very important to me as when not a CPO you only get half of the normal Kia warranty.I just started the purchase process of a 22 GT2 AWD on carvana. It has 9,000 miles, and was $52,500. It’s ceramic silver and the original window sticker says the MSRP was just shy of 56k after desitination. I had a 2021 TLX that I was leasing, and was able to get $1,700 more than the lease buyout, so I sold that back to the dealer (who matched a CarMax offer) and pulled the trigger on the stinger.
There were some that were less, and ideally I wanted RWD, but trying to buy out of state and ship to Oregon was a nightmare, so carvana offered the path of least resistance while still being competitive on price.
I did check auto trader. Unfortunately for me, shipping to Oregon was adding 2000-3000 to the total of each deal, and was also complicating financing through my credit union, which has me at 2.74%, which no dealer can/would match.Have you checked AutoTrader?

I thought certified car keeps factory 10/100k warrantyI did check auto trader. Unfortunately for me, shipping to Oregon was adding 2000-3000 to the total of each deal, and was also complicating financing through my credit union, which has me at 2.74%, which no dealer can/would match.
The car I ended up with is certified, which is great, so there are still nearly 4.5 years and 51000 miles on the bumper to bumper warranty.
Powertrain, yes. The 5/60 bumper to bumper also stays in place.I thought certified car keeps factory 10/100k warranty
Yeah, shipping might not always be cost effective. I also bought from out of state but it was cheaper for me to get a round trip plane ticket and go pick up the car, even if it meant losing the return ticket than pay shipping. Most of the times when you request shipping quotes you are dealing with brokers who are not the one's providing the service. They tell you they have availability until the actual transporter says that they don't and you have to sit and wait.I did check auto trader.

Certified by Kia, Yes... Certified by a third party, No you only get half of the Kia Powertrain warranty. You can get an extended warranty but it will cost you plus it often does not cover towing/roadside assistance, rentals, and the deductible is higher.I thought certified car keeps factory 10/100k warranty
That seems like a good deal to me. I just paid $37.5k for a 2019 gt1 with 56k miles in mid June. To a lot probably overpaid but I’m really happy with the car and it’s been solid so far.I'm currently looking at an '18 GT1 with 40k miles and it's going for 33.. curious if anyone think that's a good deal or not?
Damn that's crazy. When I bought my base awd gt new in 2020 a new 2020 awd gt1 was costing 40-41k, gt2 was 45k or so when I was looking.That seems like a good deal to me.

Yep not much of a way around it right now other than not buying in this market. I went from a 2021 F150 that I was able to sell for more than I paid even during covid to this Stinger while trying to reduce my monthly payment by $100 a month and get a more performance oriented vehicle and ditching the truck I wasn’t using enough for its purpose. That 3.5 ecoboost in the ‘21 f150 with 500 torque was no slouch though but the Stinger definitely takes it in the fun to drive category.Damn that's crazy.

Yes you guys overpaid compared to precovid prices but since the entire car market went bananas it's probably a decent deal now.
Didn't end up being able to get it, I told them I'd be able to buy it by Wednesday night before coming in, but after test driving the car they bait and switched me and gave me the old "buy it now or it's already been sold".
