A private seller in Littleton, Colorado has listed a brand-new 2027 Rivian R2 Performance on Cars.com for $79,900 — roughly $20,000 over what Rivian charges for the same vehicle.
The listing went up July 1, just weeks after Rivian started delivering the R2 to its first customers, and it comes with the kind of cover story flippers tend to lean on.

The vehicle is a Launch Edition R2 Performance in Half Moon Gray with 20-inch all-terrain wheels, 50 miles on the odometer, and the full Launch Package — including lifetime access to Rivian’s “Autonomy+” hands-free driving system.
That’s the exact configuration Rivian began shipping first. The R2 Performance starts at $57,990, and with the $1,495 destination fee the first Launch Package cars are delivering at $59,485.
