I bought a car on Beepi, and it was a great experience, much better than buying a used car from a traditional dealership or a private party (e.g., Craigslist). One thing that struck me as particularly crazy, though, is that they allowed you to charge your entire purchase to a credit card! That was great for me, since I got a ton of credit card points out of it, but it didn't seem very sustainable, and I guess it wasn't.

Shift (one of their competitors) also seemed quite nice, but they didn't allow you to charge your car to a credit card, so that was one factor in my decision to choose Beepi instead.

I also bought a car from Beepi, and it was also a wonderful experience for me. I chose them because all of the local car dealers scoffed when I offered to pay them in Bitcoin. So I went online, pressed a few bottons and bought a car online from Beepi with Bitcoin, which completely eliminated one of the most painful parts of buying a car (dealing with the bank).

Of course at the time I thought it was incredible that in 2015 I could purchase AND PAY FOR a new car without leaving the comfort of my couch. But in retrospect if I would have paid in dollars and kept the Bitcoin, or waited until 2017, I could have bought a Lamborghini!

I sold my car through Beepi, and I basically pitched them against Shift on pricing.

Both companies were an order of magnitude better than car dealership trade-in experience, Beepi's guaranteed offer just came a few bucks over Shift's guaranteed offer.

It's a bummer if this model is not sustainable, the customer experience alone would definitely drive me towards Beepi (and Shift) next time I need to buy/sell.
