RE: Confidential Submission of Draft Registration Statement on Form S-1 for Vroom, Inc.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

On behalf of Vroom, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the rules promulgated thereunder, please find enclosed for confidential submission with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a complete copy of a draft Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”) of the Company as an “Emerging Growth Company” pursuant to Title I, Section 106 under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 and Section 24(b)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 for non-public review by the Staff of the Commission (the “Staff”) prior to the public filing of the Registration Statement.

Pursuant to Section 71003 of the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act and based on guidance issued by the Staff in connection therewith, the Company is omitting from the Registration Statement its annual financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017 as well as unaudited interim financial information as of and for the period ended September 30, 2019, because it reasonably believes that such financial statements will not be required to be included in the Registration Statement at the time of the contemplated offering.
