    I'm going certified pre-owned. While I wish I could go pick up a brand new 2022 Kia Stinger GT2, that's a lot of sheckles ($55k) I'm finding ones with 15k miles for about $42k which I find a lot easier to swallow. The car really is quite fantastic and will be a great counter to the 4Runner.

    Oh and if I hadn't made it obvious, I will not be using Carvana again haha

    Final update:

    Carvana took back their car, and finally refunded my money. I'm now completely whole again and bought a CPO from a dealership.

    I certainly won't be using any of their services again. The whole "car delivered to your door" thing from Carvana, Vroom, ect. sounds like a good idea, but in practice not having a single person to call to reconcile issues end up with frustrated customers.

    What is funny is that I traded in a 2015 Subaru Impreza to them, none of the dents, dings, ect. are noted in the ad. Looks like they put new tires on it and called it a day. I imagine that is how most of their fleet is. Their "150 point" inspection is just a marketing term apparently.

    Fun fact, launch control apparently doesn't work once the engine gets to a certain temperature
