Woman is told her 2019 Chevy is worth just $250 – then she switches strategy and lands $4,000 offer

A WOMAN who was told her 2019 Chevrolet Equinox was worth just $250 managed to ramp up that price to $4,000 after she switched strategy. TikTo k star Kaytlyn Briegge recently took her trusty set of wheels to a Chevy dealership to get valued - and was dismayed when they offered her a mere $250 trade-in value. Kaytlyn then decided to get a second opinion - selling privately.

Taking to the social media app to vent her frustrations, she said: “I am aware this vehicle is not worth thousands and thousands of dollars, but I do think my car is worth more than the sushi dinner I had yesterday.” The Chevy, which, despite suffering a little hail damage and showing 135,000 miles on the clock, is in good condition and worth far more than $250. So Kaytlyn then went to retailer CarMax, where she’s offered $4,000 for her car.

Kaytlyn’s viewers on TikTok offer a wide range of opinions on the matter.

One wrote: “I’m still LOLing at the $250. What a joke.” Most read in Motors Another said: “Sell outright.

People are always looking for reliable used cars for 5-7k.” “Take the $4k and RUN. An Equinox with that age and mileage is a time bomb,” another commented.

A fourth suggested: “Take the CarMax appraisal to other dealers! If you show them they could offer you more than CarMax did!” This comes as an irate driver claimed she lost $8,000 and her unusable BMW after it sat in her driveway for three months. Now, the Philadelphia woman has launched a lawsuit which accuses an auto dealership of selling cars without a title. Erika Hester, of North Philadelphia, told reporters she bought a 2016 BMW last year from Auto Emporium, in Hudson County.

She had spotted the vehicle while checking online adverts. Hester said it appealed as it was the "kind of car that I wanted for the price that I could afford." However, she alleged that the dealership failed to give her the title for the BMW.
