(the “Company”), we hereby submit the proposed bona fide price range pursuant to Item 501(b)(3) of Regulation S-K for its initial public offering (the “IPO”). The Company intends to include this price range in a subsequent amendment to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-238482) (the “Registration Statement”). The provided terms are a bona fide estimate of the range of the minimum and maximum offering price per share based on current market information.

The Company expects to have a price range of $[***] to $[***] per share for the IPO (assuming a 2-for-1 forward stock split). Based on the midpoint of the price range set forth above, it is currently anticipated that the Company will sell shares with an aggregate value of approximately $[***] ($[***] inclusive of the 15% over-allotment). The Company seeks confirmation from the staff (the “Staff”) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) Division of Corporation Finance that it may launch its IPO with the price range specified herein and include such price range in a subsequent amendment to the Registration Statement, to be filed with the Commission on or about [***], 2020. Because of the commercially sensitive nature of the information contained herein, the Company has also submitted a request for confidential treatment of selected portions of this letter.

Dear Mr. Jones:
We have reviewed your draft registration statement and have the following comments. In
some of our comments, we may ask you to provide us with information so we may better
understand your disclosure.
Please respond to this letter by providing the requested information and either submitting
an amended draft registration statement or publicly filing your registration statement on
EDGAR. If you do not believe our comments apply to your facts and circumstances or do not
believe an amendment is appropriate, please tell us why in your response.
After reviewing the information you provide in response to these comments and your
amended draft registration statement or filed registration statement, we may have additional
comments.

Risk Factors
Our business is dependent upon access to desirable vehicle inventory . . ., page 21
1.Please revise to quantify your dependence upon the one third-party auction source from
which you acquire a significant amount of your inventory, so that readers can understand
your dependence upon this source. In an appropriate place in your prospectus, please
revise to quantify each of your sources of inventory, given your stated intention to
increase inventory from consumers.
Our business is dependent upon our ability to expeditiously sell inventory. . . . , page 22

3.We note your disclosure that you regularly review a number of metrics to evaluate your
business, measure your performance, identify trends in your business, prepare financial
forecasts and make strategic decisions and you focus heavily on metrics related to unit
economics as improved gross profit per unit is a key element of your growth and
profitability strategies. We also note your disclosure relates exclusively to your
Ecommerce segment. Please balance your disclosure with the related metrics for your
other two segments.
4.Please balance your discussion of your key operating and financial metrics by identifying
material risks or limitations in using those particular metrics, as applicable.
TDA, page 74
5.We note your discussion that TDA gross profit decreased primarily because of a decrease
in vehicle gross profit per unit stemming from increases in reconditioning and logistics
costs in your Vroom VRC as you significantly expanded your ecommerce business. Since
TDA is your retail store, please discuss why expansion of your ecommerce business
impacts gross profit at your retail store level.

probability of future goodwill impairment charges. For example, please disclose whether
any of your reporting units are at risk of failing the quantitative impairment test or that the
fair value of each of your reporting units are substantially in excess of carrying value and
are not at risk of failing. If a reporting unit is at risk of failing, you should disclose:
