vehicle value
I just checked to see what Carmax and Carvana would offer for my car. 350 Ultra Lux 2019 Atomic Gray in pristine condition. Carmax: $29,655.00 - Carvana: $30k. Not bad if I wanted to unload the car... I paid $49,500.00 in 2018... Think I'll keep it for now...

$50k in 2018 is $65724 today. $30k is less than half the value so it sounds about right.

Assuming it has low miles, KBB shows around $33k.
Vehicles are holding their values on those purchased prior to the Covid increases around mid '21. I have a Ford Ranger that I bought early '21 for $6k below sticker. 5 years later now I have offers from both CarMax and Carvana for $9k less than I paid for it. It's tempting, but since I would need to replace it with something similar at inflated cost, I don't have any interest in doing that.

$30k is fantastic. I guess the low mileage and UL version have a lot to do with it. I ran mine through Kelly Bluebook for a trade in last week. 2019 Premium model, 100,000 miles: $21,000 trade in value. I'm curious what Carmax would do.

Dealer gave us $29K for our 2019 Atomic Silver Lux in December. We had similar mileage to yours.
