After a brief inspection (maybe 10 minutes), they agreed to their initial offer of 14.7k. I signed a purchase agreement, gave them a check for the negative equity (about 3k) and they loaded the vehicle up and drove off. Couldn't believe how easy that was!
Since the vehicle was financed (through Cap One), I want to wait until it shows as paid off and closed. I have another auto loan at the moment that I'm happy with. We'll use that for the time being. With my wife and I working from home, I am debating on waiting a while before getting another vehicle. But, if we want a new one, now may be the best time to do so based on incentives and the like. Either way, would it be best to wait for this loan to fully close? If I don't, I worry that it'll look as if I am seeking a third vehicle loan and my offers will reflect as such. Is there a way around that or is it best to just wait for it to update with the bureaus?
I would say wait. It wouldn't be an issue if you were actually purchasing another vehicle from Carvana (they would manually reconfigure in your DTI based on your trade-in). Only thing is it may take up to 3 months for Cap One to show loan as "paid in full" to the credit agencies if you can stand to wait that long.
@Gladius Why would it take so long for Capital One to show the load as paid in full?
Reporting delays, bureau update delays. At the very least, it'll probably take 2 months to update. If it updates within 1, consider yourself lucky.
