    Buyer beware. They over inflated the price then devalue it after you bought it. Devalued my car in six months after 5,000 miles over a six month period on a 20 k car to 14 k. Trying to get answers other than a guy on the phone apologize profusely. DO NOT BUY FROM THEM.

    This was the easiest car purchase I have ever made and probably ever will make. No needless upselling or pushiness. Very extensive filtering options made it easy to find my car. The option to even save a previous filter settings was just icing on the cake for me. The actually delivery was super smooth and my delivery driver -Denzel I believe his name was- was super friendly and nice. Overall 100/10.

    Overall a very positive experience! Delivery on time to the minute, the car was expertly detailed. The only issue I have was the Forester was delivered with 2 different brand tires and wear. Subaru recommends all the tire be the same type so as not to stress the AWD system. I contacted Carvana who stated I needed to discuss with Silverrock. However they do not cover tires. I didn’t expect to replace all 4 tires on a car with 13000 miles.

    I just recently sold my car to Carvana. It was a 2016 Mini Countryman. The reason that I chose Carvana was that they were the best offer that I received from online sites. It was simple. I posted a photo of my odometer, Title document, and driver's license. Based on they data they contacted me with the offer in about an hour. I accepted the offer and was given an appointment and location of where I should bring my car. I had the option of them picking it up at my home but my delivering it was faster.

    As a first time customer, I was skeptical and expected some glitch to get in the way. There were no glitches. Everything went as promised. They constantly kept in touch with me regarding what I needed to bring and complete to finalize the deal. I delivered the car and had a check in my hand for the full amount about 15 minutes later. Totally impressed by their service level, efficiency, and integrity.

    I recently purchased a 2023 Chevy Tahoe from Carvana, and I couldn't be happier with the entire process. I even exchanged it, and the whole experience was incredibly smooth and hassle-free. What I loved most is that I didn't have to deal with going to a dealership, which is something I always try to avoid. Carvana made everything simple, from browsing the vehicles to completing the purchase and handling the exchange. The convenience of doing it all online is unmatched, and their customer service was great throughout. If you're like me and prefer to skip the stress of traditional car buying, I highly recommend giving Carvana a try!

    This was my first time buying a car from Carvana and my experience was Great! Easy shopping from home, easy payment and delivery. Once delivered the driver stayed to be sure we were good with the test drive. We had the car inspected within the 7 day warranty to find that the front breaks were at a 1 (should be 4) and the alignment was off. We contacted Carvana and they took care of all the repairs for us!! Great company and transaction. Would do it all over again tomorrow. (If I didn't love the car I just got!)

    I bought a 2024 Ram Pickup with 4000. The second day it broke down. Trying to speak to someone for help is a nightmare. I spoke to 4 different people. None of them would follow through, none would call back, none could give me their phone number so each time you call you speak to someone new. Worst customer service ever. I repeat….

    Not satisfied with all the cosmetic damages that were not disclosed on the Carvana site. We have siginificant cosmetic issues on the front side of the car that even the Carvana staff were surprised it was not mentioned and they took all pics and asked me to call 3rd party warranty provider who simply chose not to cover. Very uninspiring but not surprising now that I read everything in the news recently about Carvana. Never again!

    Carvana will show you pictures that are inaccurate online. The 5 foot x 4 -5 inch smudge could have happened during their shipment of the car to me but no one will take accountability nor will Silver Rock their insurance company cover cosmetic items. Also the tint from the windows were peeling off (about 25%). That was also not disclosed in the online images. This is why I feel that they sugar coat and brushed out damage in the online photos. Ultimately, I returned the car. They are supposed to pay to have the car returned. They would not give me a time range of 2 or 3 or 4 hours. They just gave me 20 minutes notice and I could not get home in time.

    The driver had the front and back of my DL and my family was at home and also had the ID. He refused to take the car because I was not there. Had I been given a time range, I could have been there. I ended up hiring a private tow driver to take the car back to Carvana in Auburn which cost me almost $600.00 Carvana will not reimburse. They nickel and dime you and lie and offer you false information.

    Easy to buy, easy to finance, rates are nuts. Car was not in the condition they said and people at the pickup site have zero knowledge, it is a take it or leave it scenario. This car has some serious paint issues as well as mechanical issues, their 150 Point Inspection did not mention. Warranty is pretty ok though, so they are fixing some of the issues.

    The entire process with Carvana was great. The only problem I encountered were the details. I was told by the individual that the car needed new tires which was accurate and a new battery. I was unable to drive my car until the battery was replaced. These are 2 very crucial details that should have been noticed right away and addressed prior to delivery.

    My experience with Carvana purchase process was excellent. My concern was how dirty the car was on pick up day. I accepted the car which had a little over half tank of gas. I had to take the car to be detailed which cost $220 and then fill tank of gas. The fluids all needed to be filled which worries me because now I’m not sure if the inspection was thorough. I’ve had the car now my 7 day return period with one incident that the clock stopped and radio didn’t turn on so I’m worried about battery. All in all, I am not confident that this process of purchasing a vehicle is the best route for me because if the cosmetic issues weren’t resolved, what does that mean for issues that I haven’t seen yet.

    The delivery and purchase was easy, but I do not think there was full disclosure on the condition. There was cosmetic damage that was not shown on the listing and also a transmission issue I am working to resolve with a shop. The Monroe muffler that is in network was not competent to diagnose the problem so I will need to pay the full 350 deductible. A power train issue also would lower the NADA value to less than I paid for this vehicle. All of this is less of a pain than returning the vehicle would have been due to the fact that the delivery cost is nonrefundable. The staff of Carvana was very helpful, but I will not be purchasing another vehicle through this service. There is some effort to disclose issues with the vehicle on the posting, but information is very lacking on a platform that encourages a fully online experience.

Of course this was over the Christmas holiday. One of the people over the phone "helping" with the exchange was NOT helpful at all. He kept pushing for me to work with a TPV for the repair.

    My name is Adrienne **. Phone number **. Car 2023 Rivian R1s. Stock# **. I am sending this because I am unhappy. 1) We did all the paperwork, but uploading the insurance to the website was a problem. Then they told us it's okay to just bring it when we pick up the car. 2) After we sign the paperwork, we go back on Carvana to check the update, just to see the car was back up for sale, we called but didn't get the reason why that happened, we put 40 thousand dollars down plus shipping. We called and ask them to fix it. After a day or two it was fix then they try to let us go back though the buying process. Plus pay for shipping again, we have to tell them no. After the back and forth it was taken care of.

    3) On the day of picking up the car at 12 p.m., we got a call saying the car was at 15% charge. We told the girl that is unacceptable. She told us that she would called us back, she did not, we called back. Ask to speak with a supervisor. They say someone will call us back. The supervisor call and say it will be change and someone will call us, again no one did, I call and speak with someone that told us the vehicle should be at 50% charge when picking up. It's a guarantee of Carvana.

    4) We got to the location to pick the car up, and it was at 13% charge. This was an hour after I called, and the car was not clean, The outside was dirty, and the inside had black fingerpaint on the steering wheel, on the driver side door finger paint, and black and red fingers printed on the seat. The arm rested black marks, and the Bluetooth speaker that was in the vehicle was missing, I ask the girl that was helping us about it. She told me to reach out to Carvana customer service, then I asked her to clean the car. She offered me the cleaning stuff to clean it off myself. Overall, this was unacceptable not the experience I was expecting. I am asking for my vehicle to get details. I am asking for the Bluetooth speaker that was taken out of the car to be replaced.

    6 weeks after handing the check to the driver who delivered my car, I got an email stating that Carvana had lost it. By that time, I had vehicle registration, plates - and my loan time period had expired. The email asked for a new check to be issued, but this meant I had to get another credit check run and do a new loan application. I called Carvana to try to find out what happened and what could be done only to spend 25 minutes talking to THREE different people, that last of who read back the initial email I was sent to me over the phone. I found this offensive and highly UNHELPFUL. My impression of Carvana is now that it is a VERY INCONVENIENT AND IRRESPONSIBLE company. I hope once I get the new loan and a new check that it will not be lost, which I trust will be the case because I will mail it at a rush for you because of you.

    I ordered a used car. It showed up damaged. Something must have happened during transit and the drive train on the Tesla Model 3 caused a bad wobble. I contacted Carvana via text and they said no problem. We exchanged the Model 3 for another one. They picked up the bad one and dropped off the replacement of my choice. The process was sooo easy. The replacement was great and I am keeping the replacement. All the documentation, registration, plates, title is all handled by Carvana. I didn't have to do a thing.

    Carvana really made this purchasing experience a breeze. In fact, I liked it so much I had helped my 82-year-old father purchase his new used Rogue from Carvana on Christmas day while together enjoying some good eats. If you've never tried Carvana, I highly suggest you try this service and skip the car dealership nightmare. I'll never buy from a dealer again. Not after seeing how easy it is. The only CON I can see is that you can't test drive the vehicle but you get a 7-day trial up to 400 miles to see if you like it. If you don't, simply exchange for something else. My advice is, test drive the car you plan on getting first so you know what you want. Then find the perfect match on Carvana and get it from them.

    I sent in my savings account number and checked the box for savings. When you went to withdraw the money, you sent it in as a checking withdraw which my bank declined because it was not a checking account number. Instead of contacting me in any way, you canceled my order. When I called to find out why, you told me I could no longer pick up my car on the day we had chosen - for which we had planned a special 3 hour trip. No one was apologetic for your mistake. I then went through the process and was given an amount I owed and said I would get a cashier's check - I went and followed all rules.

    My order got cancelled again because you said it wasn't the right amount. You didn't include the delivery fee on my statement - I had to get another check and once again, my delivery date was changed because you cancelled my appointment. You require proof of insurance BEFORE you will approve an order, but then you cancel an order and the party has gotten insurance on a vehicle that you won't sell them. It was truly the worst experience I've ever had. It was the car I wanted so I suffered through. Now, you say my title is complete, but I do not have it.

    I live in MO and am required to have it in hand to register the car. No one can answer me about when it will be here and I found a string on Reddit that said it takes up to 10 weeks. My temp tags that you gave me will EXPIRE before 10 weeks. Truly, I terrible experience and I am sorry I went through you. Since then I've heard multiple other experiences like this. The reviews you share are all five star - no honesty whatsoever. Also, every customer service rep I spoke to except 1 (and I spoke to over 10) was rude and disrespectful and treated me like a loser who couldn't pay for a car. Yuck. I'm even more upset reliving it.

    I will admit I wasn't expecting anything better than going to a dealership. To my surprise it was even worse. Instead of screwing you over with added options, features, extended warranties, etc. they charge you a nonrefundable 2k shipping fee (unless you find a car in your area they have in stock). Take a "150 point" car check up to make sure there aren't any "imperfections" inside and out and they attach photos to show you. My truck had 2 "imperfections" - a chip on the door which was barely visible and a minor stain on the seat which wasn't even there. When I got it neither of them were. What I did find was a bashed in rear bumper, chipped tail light, tons and I mean tons of chips some the size of my thumb. And a gash the size of my entire hand on the front bumper THAT THE DELIVERY DRIVER DID THAT DAY.

    Ironic they do a full walk through and check up before you get it. THAT'S WHY IT TAKES 2 WEEKS FOR IT TO GET TO YOUR HOUSE. Carvana said they would pay for the scratch the driver did but nothing else. I purchased the truck November 5th. Received it the 17th. I had to bring my truck into caliber collision on December 16th. It is the 31st and I still don't have my truck. I'm 24, I work for myself, run two businesses and made the mistake of trying something different. Now I'm losing money because of it because (silver rock) their insurance company apparently takes the longest on the planet to finalize and pay. My apologies for the long story. Not angry. Just hope I save someone else the trouble in the future. Live and learn as they say.

It arrived not only filthy on the interior with all kinds of nasty dirt and crumbs and debris, but the front fender was also smashed in and there were several other dents and damage to the exterior of the vehicle that were not obvious or even shown in the pictures. The vendor in Atlanta showed no accountability or responsibility and just told me to "Call Carvana" for all the issues. Then Carvana did not fix my car fully or even address all the many issues the car had. I also did a blue book assessment of the car and found out that they had sold me a $10,000 dollar car for $19,000! I would never use this terrible company again.

    I bought a 2021 Tesla Model 3 (my dream car) from Carvana. Looked online and believed I had found the perfect option with Carvana as it had all the features I was looking for and seemed like a pretty good deal. The purchase went incredibly smoothly and I was excited to get it delivered the following week. The day of the delivery, my delivery driver called me to verify what I would need for the apt. Due to my delivery time (at night), I asked my driver if we should move the drop off location to a well lit parking lot so we could go over the car in detail to ensure everything was as listed on the site. My driver assured me that would not be necessary as carvana would cover any issues I found over the next 7 days during my “7day test drive”.

    I was hesitant to believe this, but he reassured me that we were “on a recorded line” and ANY issues would be covered. Later that evening the truck showed up with my Tesla in tow. After doing an amazing job of unloading it off the truck, he let me take it for a spin around the block. Once back, I mentioned a couple things I had noticed about the car. One was the fact that the previous owner had left an unpaid charge on the car that I was going to be on the line for. The second was what looked like a possible rock chip in the windshield but I could not tell how bad it was as it was too dark. Knowing that my driver told me I could take pictures of any damage over the next 7 days and report it made me feel at ease though. The rest of the delivery process went smoothly.

    The next morning I decided to take the car to the wash to get a clean look at it. As it was a very cold winter morning, I was excited to make use of the Tesla’s advertised heated steering wheel. (When I say advertised, it was one of the “key features” of the car. Carvana even highlighted the steering wheel in photos telling potential buyers how much they would love the heated steering wheel.) After about 20 minutes of trying to figure out how to turn it on in my driveway, I realized it in fact did not have one. This was a huge bummer as it was one of the big reasons I chose THIS Tesla. After the wash I was able to assess the windshield. There were two large rock chips in the center of the windshield, and one of them was spiderwebbing out about half an inch on either side.

    After walking around the car, I noticed that the rear hatch of the vehicle was sitting noticeably higher than the roof frame (about an inch). I immediately jumped on carvana’s website to speak with an advocate. Within one minute of letting them know about the issues, they told me that the windshield would have been covered by their warranty, but since the delivery driver didn’t take any pictures or list it at the time of delivery, they would do nothing about it. After going back and forth about having talked to the driver about it, they still told me I would have to just make an insurance claim. Just what I wanted say one of owning a “new” car, my insurance to go up and be out a $500.00 deductible.

    Regarding the heated steering wheel, the advocate said they would have to look and see if my “claim of it being listed” on the website was true. After verifying it was, they then came up with the excuse that it was listed on the car, but the vehicle was “priced without it”. During the entire conversation they continued to tell me that if I wasn’t satisfied with the car, I was welcome to return it. But they clearly know no one wants to lose out on their expensive delivery cost that the company takes from you if you return a car. The only repair they would consider looking into was the rear hatch of the car. This took over 6 days of calling carvana and being told someone would get back to me with a solution.

    On day 6 of my “7day test drive” I called again and made a huge stink over not having a solution in place. Finally the rep told me I could take it to my local “repair shop” (I say this because they sent me to a tires plus) that was in network with their warranty company. After driving across town to tires plus, the “repair man” told me that they don’t work on teslas and I would have to call carvana back. After calling carvana back they informed me that as this could be seen in the photos on the site, they would not be covering it. This could not be seen in the photos unless you knew what you were looking for. Carvana also highlights “all” damage on the vehicles in their photos, and this was never mentioned or pictured.

    Needless to say, nothing was repaired and I never received any money back for the lack of heated steering wheel (a $600.00 add on from tesla). I will never do business with this company again and would highly caution those considering doing so. They do everything they can to make sure they do not have to pay for anything after you take delivery of the vehicle. It’s a shame as I love the car otherwise, and the purchasing process was far easier than going into any dealership. Potential buyers beware!

    Truck was damaged during transportation, I was informed I would have to be responsible for coordinating the repair. I contacted Carvana's insurance company Silver Rock and they informed me that I could only use their autobody shop's and the closest was 1 hour away. This means I would spend 2 hours of my time just getting a quote. Then I would have to drop truck off for repair (2 hours) and pick up when repaired (another 2 hours). All of this time would mean lost time at work. My minimum PTO per day is 4 hours that would mean 12 hours of my of PTO used for a mistake of Carvana's.

    Bought on 11/17 (car number 1). 1st estimated delivery 11/23. 2nd estimated delivery 11/30 (asked to pick new car or else delayed to 12/18) car number 2. 3rd estimated delivery 12/4 (car number 2) RETURNED tires were extremely dangerous, traction almost killed me, windshield wipers needed replacements immediately, and exhaust was not replaced properly. 4th estimated delivery 12/16 (car number 3). 5th estimated delivery 12/18 (car number 3). 6th estimated delivery 12/21 (car number 3). What I sent to BBB, the AZ and CT State attorney Generals: there is added dates since I've submitted this.

    I've been dealing with Carvana since 11/17/24 and I have yet to get my car. I have officially made a claim to the BBB and my state's attorney general. My original date of delivery was on 11/23/24, got pushed to 1/30/24, got pushed to 12/4/24, got pushed to 12/18/24. THAT was when I finally got assigned a case manager and they suggested I chose a new car because only then did they let me know the delays were due to the car's AC/Heat were not working. Now I am on car #2 and delivery was expected to be on 12/6/24 and it got pushed to 12/9/24 due to a drive cycle not passing. My case manager is changing departments and my new case manager isn't event available to speak with me until Monday... the DAY OF MY "DELIVERY".

    I called today and asked for answers regarding WHAT didn't pass on the drive cycle, WHY aren't they fixing that today (in my state government drive cycle centers are open on Saturday). The representative assured to "get excited" because my car was coming and I laughed. Just yesterday the driver called me, said he's be here soon with my car, then the delivery got rescheduled.

    ---------------------

    Finally got the car, the tires were extremely worn and dangerous, the traction could have killed me driving in the rain, the windshield wipers needed to be replaced immediately and the exhaust was installed/fixed incorrectly. I retuned the car. Was told my next choice would be here in two days. That got delayed THREE TIMES.

    Point blank, Carvana needs to stop over promising and under delivering. Maybe say "we can make this happen in one week" and people will be happy because that's realistic. You're dealing with fixing issues on cars from all over the nation and state wide mandates. Like what in the ACTUAL flip goes through your heads when promising these dates? It's impossible. Then you have all these lemon cars you're giving out because you manage to squeeze these crap cars through the time slots. Do better.

    Buyer beware of imperfections not disclosed on Carvana’s description of cars. Carvana only disclosed one (1) rock peck on the driver door in their online ad for the car I purchased. Upon delivery, the car had rock pecks on the front bumper, right front fender, right mirror and truck lid. Some were touched-up (with a white paint that did not match….looks really poor) and the rest were left bare. When I contacted them, they told me to contact their warranty provider, SilverRock. I did just that and even sent photos. I was then contacted by SilverRock and they stated this was normal ‘wear and tear’ and they were going to do nothing about it.

    I mentioned that Carvana failed to disclose these imperfections and they did not care. All I know is many cars that I reviewed on Carvana had noted imperfections stating “rock pecks or noticeable repair”. They failed to do so on the car I purchased. The least they could have done was to correct the problem, as a touch-up repair kit is only $150.

    In May of 2024, I purchased the vehicle (2013 Buick Enclave) from Carvana, LLC (Defendant). The vehicle 1.) was sold without a front license plate bracket, which rendered it uninspectable, which is important because my state is a two-plate state, and at the time of purchase, I fully expected to be able to operate the vehicle with a valid inspection sticker, as required by state law. Due to the Defendant's actions, I have been stopped by law enforcement on two separate occasions and let off with a verbal warning for driving an uninspected vehicle.

    2.) I then experienced a problem with a defective fuel pump which failed two or three days after Defendant's “100-mile warranty” expired due to exceeding the aforementioned 100-mile limit. And 3.) There is now an issue with an undisclosed oil leak coming from a defective rear main seal, between the engine and transmission, which will cost approximately $4000.00, and up to four (4) days to repair, which means that I will be sans transportation for a number of days as both the engine and transmission must be removed from the vehicle in order to repair the leak(s).

When I contacted customer service to get the issue corrected, all I got was vague, unhelpful responses. They just kept telling me to use the 7-day return policy, but I didn’t want to return the car—I just wanted the problem fixed.

    To make matters worse, they didn’t have another car of the same model available, and they’d already taken my truck as a trade-in, making it difficult to find a replacement. Their failure to resolve the issue, combined with their poor customer service, left me incredibly frustrated.

    My experience with Carvana has been less than desirable. My husband has purchased 2 of his cars through them and had a great experience so I thought to give it a try. Although I will note he mentioned having significant trouble the second time around because they couldn’t figure out how to close out his loan on the first car and start financing on the new car — spent several hours on the phone with them.

    They kept telling him he couldn’t start a new loan since he had an existing; not understanding that he was trying to trade. I attempted to buy a vehicle 4 months ago; approved, contracts, signed, delivery date set. However, my dad is on my title for my car I was trading in and they required him to be present for the trade. My dad lives in another state so I couldn’t have him there. Fine. Their policy, fair. I didn’t proceed with the purchase.

    Now, during my second time around is where the experience became more difficult. I had to go through various verification processes that I wasn’t required to go through the last time. They wouldn’t accept my marriage license (which is the only type of document that is provided to you after you are married in the county in Texas I was married in) nor would they accept my passport as a government-issued ID. I had to speak to several people through chat and phone who none of which were on the same page, did not help to resolve the situation, or were simply rude.

    I finally got someone on the phone one time that was helpful and was able to help me proceed. However, they lastly required an employment verification. They wouldn’t accept employment verification utilizing the processes my company provides such as MyWorkNumber even though that is exactly how Carvana verified my employment 4 months according to the report I pulled. They required to call my employer at a landline and were incredibly rude to my own manager. I was absolutely embarrassed.

    While this is happening, Carvana provided no communication of their own even though they said they would. The car also fell off of my dashboard and wasn’t available to purchase so I had to call and have them add it back. Given this embarrassing experience, my husband and I went to a local dealer and I walked away with a brand new Bronco Sport that was of the same price as the used one I wanted to purchase, better APR and monthly, and none of the hassle that Carvana was trying to put me through. Never again will I buy a car with Carvana.

The app was user-friendly and offered a 360-degree view of the car, inside and out. It highlighted areas with cosmetic issues, which was helpful. Since this was essentially a brand-new car, it appeared to be in excellent condition. However, when the car arrived, I immediately noticed several imperfections that weren’t disclosed. To make matters worse, it was delivered in a very dirty condition. When you’re spending close to $60,000 on a car, you’d expect it to arrive clean and presentable.

    Upon closer inspection, I found a terrible paint job near the fuel door, with a rough texture that was glaringly obvious to the naked eye. Additionally, I noticed rust inside the air vent under the front windshield. How does something like this happen on a car this new? I called to cancel the order immediately. When the car was picked up, the driver himself commented on the poor condition and said he didn’t blame me for returning it. It felt like something was seriously wrong with this vehicle. I’m relieved I returned it and am now waiting for a full refund.

    Where to start. 12/3 I found a truck I liked, went through your menus, decided to buy. Turns our your interest rate is like 8% and I had easy access to 5% with USAA, so obviously I went that route. The default delivery was next day, and I just went with it, not realizing it would be a problem. On the USAA side, the online loan application recommends NOT sending the check to dealer, which if you were nearby, wouldn't have been an issue, because I could hand it to you. So I did as USAA default advised and sent the check to me. Also I got like 800+ credit score, so 8% sounded not in line with my reliability.

    The next day, I got a call in the morning asking for a check. I assume If I went with your financing at the higher rate next day delivery would have been easy, but paying thousands more in interest seemed silly. I told them I had to wait for USAA, they indicated it could be 48hrs for a check, and the rep kept threatening to put it back up for sale if I couldn't give them a check now. Eventually they settled on putting it on 72hr limbo.

    Eventually USAA that friday gave me copies of check and fedex mailer, and that's when I learned you guys wouldn't be happy with a check that was mailed to me instead of you. I guess it's a no brainer, but again, USAA form warned against sending direct checks. Your call center wanted me to redirect the mailer to them. I called USAA, they said that coudln't happen, but offered to mail a new check. So I said they could do that, and they did, but they for whatever reason co uldn't give me a copy of the reissued check.

    So the truck kept getting pushed further and further, resetting the time. On Monday it was delivered and signed for by Carvana, but your call center kept insisting you didn't have it and told me it could be 5 days before you recognized hat you do. I continued to try to get usaa to give me a picture, but they couldn't, and called/chatted with Carvana every day through Friday trying to get you to accept that you have the check.

    On Friday the 13th, Usaa tells me Carvana deposited the check. But Carvana still insisted they hadn't even recieved it yet. And we were back to implying I was going to lose the chance for the truck because I couldn't take a picture of the check you guys had for 5 days. Out of sure frustration, because I didn't want to have to redo the whole loan and purchase process from square one (and likely with someone else due to headache) I looked up emails to write directly, because no one in the "Treasury department" would talk to me, no one would let me talk to them, and no one would take any effort to verify they had the check nor that it was deposited.

    I eventually found a few emails that appears to be to the CEO, and wrote a letter explaining all this Friday, and later that day got a call from executive relations, who told me things were good to go, and I set up the delivery for Monday. On Monday I got the truck, things seemed mostly fine. Though the previous owner's info was still in the computer in the truck, including his cell phone info, sirruis radio log in, home address, and other personal information. I deleted everything that could be sensitive information.

    Also I found all the floor mats were soaked... Like dripping wet. I assume from being shampooed? I had to bring them all in, set up a space heater and just let the, cook in my utility room, forming puddles of water as they dripped. I did message your chat at the time, and they very reluctantly gave me a "sorry" after about a 20 minute conversation.

    Idk, I guess I thought maybe they'd start with an apology, or offer a car wash, or idk what I expected... Just some indication that they realize that was a mistake, and a gesture would have been nice. You know like when your pizza order gets botched and they give ya like a $5 credit. Granted I'm not sure what a floor mat equivalent is for a car. They just kept telling me "Well you can always return it in 7 days". And i'm just like.... No.. I'm not going to fricken return a truck because you couldn't be bothered to dry some floor mats.

    All in all, if I had it to do over again I'd probably have bought from someone else. There probably should have been more flags to suggest the Truck needs to be in limbo until check arrives. I guess I would assume in todays day, USAA could literally just send you the money electronically, and not have to wait on a literal paper check, but I guess things don't move that way.

    Also all your call center people either, none of them really wanted to make any effort at all to do anything to confirm you got the check. They just kept insisting I needed pictures of the check they already had. Just seems like much of this time, they could have had one person spend 5 minutes locating the cehck, and if you wanted pictures, just take the pictures yourself. I'm sorry things didn't go the exact process you guys wanted, but you made everything unnecessarily more difficult because it didn't fit into your cookie cutter process.

    TLDR: I have no doubt if I did everything exactly the way Carvana wanted, this would have been super easy, but the whole time you guys threatened to cancel the order and sell the truck I already got the loan approved for. Then kept blaming USAA and refusing to take any effort to go even a little bit above and beyond. I don't know if my email was hte final thing that helped, sending to your CEO, or maybe that never reached anyone, but it wasn't until then anyone seemed put any effort in to resolve things. Still think you should have some sorta courtesy thing your chat can offer when people are unhappy other than just saying "You can always return the truck and go away"

    I purchased my truck on a Tuesday, picked it up on a Thursday. Fast delivery, and picking it up could not have been easier. Signed a few papers, had already uploaded insurance docs, provided ID and they handed me the keys to go inspect it. Upon inspection, I noticed the truck did not have a bedliner. It was advertised that it came with one. I mentioned this to the man who was handling my transaction. He literally told me not to worry, this happens all the time, scan the QR code on the paper he gave me and "Carvana will either reimburse you for a new one or pay to have one installed". I thought wow, that's great!

    BASED ON THAT CONVERSATION, I drove the truck off the lot. Scanned the QR code that night, told them what happened, and essentially found out that the guy was full of it. Carvana told me they only offer up to $100 in reimbursements, and that it would take 10 to 15 days to process. After telling them what the guy said, they told me that I have two options...take the hundred dollars, or return the truck. I would contemplate buying another vehicle from Carvana due to the ease of the process. However, I will go over the next vehicle with a fine tooth comb, knowing that anything that is wrong will only be met with a hundred dollar reimbursement.

    I loved the purchasing experience but was left frustrated and annoyed by Silverrock. The front bumper of my car was deemed “fixed” with repair work on the 150 point inspection, but wasn’t listed as an imperfection on the listing or noted in the carfax for repair work. Tried many times to get Silverrock to address the substandard repair work and after escalating to leadership they told me, in essence, to kick rocks because Carvana deemed this appropriate to sell technically by selling the car and then Carvana states that they have to stand behind Silverrocks determination. Which is extremely upsetting. I have two corporate giants who are supposed to view me as a valued customer and they’re in collusion to make sure they have each other's backs against paying out for damages that should have clearly been addressed. Love the car, hate the policies, politics, and games. I’d rather take my car to the dealership with peace of mind and pay exorbitant OEM prices than wait for days as my car sits in a Pep Boys lot.

    This company needs to learn a thing or two about good service and human decency. They lack initiative, professionalism, responsibility and care for its customers. They are the true definition of greed. The multiple class Action Lawsuits are proof enough that this company has screwed a large group of people over. Just imagine the number of people who were uncomfortable or afraid to fight back that just accepted the unfair and unlawful service. Along with many many many others, I provided my trade in vehicle in a fair exchange for a Carvana vehicle. The delivery/pickup was conducted and I was left with a 90 day temp tag. Slightly concerning.... As 90 days is a long time to provide a customer with registration unless they already knew something was going to delay the process.

    I called to maintain communication several times throughout those few months. No issues were brought to my attention. Now nearing the 90 day mark, I received nothing. No communication, no updates and worst of all I received attitude and lack of care by the service reps. I was told nothing will be done or negotiated until the plates officially expire. I then called in that morning of the expired plates with that complaint. They said they would now start to look into it.

    At this point Carvana was telling me bridgecrest (carvana's partnering lender) had the title and needed to be given to the DMV, and bridgecrest was telling me that Carvana has the title and they need to provide it to the DMV. Both making it very clear that it's my responsibility to take it up with the other party and refused to communicate amongst each other to resolve the issue. It's a nice game they continued to play throughout this entire process where they point their finger to the other business partner and refuse to take responsibility or attempt to resolve the issue.

    Now here we are weeks later, I received a call from a supervisor (finally), her name was Barbie and notified me that I was now in the system as her point of contact. I was essentially told that I was to speak with no one else besides her within the company. She notified me of an error in the contract that Carvana has made. Again, this is 4 months after purchase. What was being done during these 4 months to not have this recognized. She then said it would take weeks to correct and would result in a higher principal balance and monthly payment. I initially refused stating that I want my registration completed prior to signing any further contracts. This is when I was threatened with repossession and refusal to retrieve my trade in back.

    With no way out of this debt and now down to 1 vehicle with 2 young kids, of school/daycare and 2 jobs, I was strong armed and hopeful that this lengthy process would soon be over. I agreed to sign the new contract with being told that all documents needed for registration are in hand and prepared to be 1st priority to complete registration. They lied again. Quickly after signature on the revised contract, they wiped their hands clean and told me I was on my own now with the DMV. I spent 3 appointments back and forth with the DMV while appointments were several weeks out each time. They notified me that all documents were not available and could not register. Also telling me that registration fees would now be needed upfront even though registration fees were rolled into the life of the loan.

    This resulted in me refusing further vehicle payment and asking to be released from contract. The vehicle was later repossessed. Customer service representatives are quick to shout and hang up the phone, supervisors are not available other than call backs that are promised but never occur. Every department is "customer facing" and you are forced to speak with the service department that can't answer anything.

    I am writing to formally submit a complaint regarding the disastrous experience I have had with Carvana, SilverRock, and Chevrolet concerning the vehicle I purchased from Carvana. Over the past 15 months, I have endured constant delays, misinformation, and negligence, leaving me with a vehicle that has barely been drivable and has cost me significant time, money, and stress.

    Summary of Issues: I purchased a vehicle from Carvana with only 40,000 miles under the assurance that it had been inspected and was in excellent condition. From the moment it was delivered, I have faced numerous issues that call into question both the quality of the vehicle and Carvana’s promises.

    Delivery Problems: Delivery was canceled six times, each time with poor communication and no clear timeline. After finally receiving the vehicle, it was immediately clear that the condition was not as advertised. I decided to go with it until a couple days in I decided to take it to the shop as I got stuck in the car because the door was behind the fender due to body panels not aligned correctly.

    Vehicle Defects Upon Delivery:

    Exterior Issues:

    Panels were misaligned, and there were visible gaps around the headlights.

    Headlights have absolutely no visibility.

    The front license plate holder was removed, revealing 15 massive screw holes in the bumper. Told bumper needs replaced although a clip is broken off that seemed to be glued together poorly so multiple panels would need replaced.

    The "Grand Sport" logo fell off shortly after delivery, and replacements are no longer available.

    A significant mark on the driver’s door, which was not disclosed in the listing. As well as scratches on roof and fading.

    The auto adjust on the mirrors and seat didn't work. It would unadjust every time.

    A panel near the headlight was sticking up completely broken. The whole panel would need replaced.

    The driver’s door hits the front fender, causing me to get trapped in the car multiple times. It sometimes goes away if I drive it and hit a bump. No shop has been able to fix it. Maybe frame damage?

    The driver’s door is flimsy and missing a key component. As well as the whole interior panel is lose according to the shop due to an accident.

    Car has been repainted according to the shop as you can see the overspray on the door panels.

    Some of this stuff I was not able to see with them until it was moved back to the better shop although that's when my warranty was up but most were already seen and not gotten to yet due to the extent of the other issues in play.

    Mechanical Issues:

    Catalytic converters became clogged. $5K out of pocket.

    Motor mounts needed replacement.

    A pulley broke off unexpectedly.

    The A/C stopped blowing cold.

    Belt squeaks but no sign of wear.

    Replaced coil packs. $400 out of pocket.

    Cleaned fuel rails discount because the good shop it was at felt bad.

    The front end makes a popping noise when turning.

    A persistent fuel smell due to a faulty fuel cell. Needed replaced. Warranty company won't cover.

    Gas gauge issues.

    Was told ECU on dash is bad. Never heard back from Chevrolet with the parts. That was 8 months ago.

    Carvana told me the reason the car delivery took so long was because they had to replace the ECU. As someone that knows cars it's important to reprogram the ECU to the fuel and air ratio of the specific car. After asking over and over with customer support on who did it so I can confirm they would give no info at all. They said it gets shipped to an outside company they are not in contact with in in way once it goes there. Saved screenshots of that.

    Electrical Failures:

    The dash ECU malfunctioned, which prevents mirrors and seats from returning to preset positions.

    Memory settings for mirrors and seats fail due to electrical problems.

    Interior Problems:

    Steering column failure.

    Seat rails needed replacement.

    The driver’s door lock frequently fails, preventing me from exiting the vehicle.

    Repair Timeline: The timeline of repairs has been a nightmare due to Carvana’s incompetence and the mishandling of claims by their warranty company, SilverRock. Carvana and SilverRock moved my vehicle without consent, wasting months of time. At one point, the vehicle sat outside for 30+ days before being evaluated only reason I found out was I went to pick up something. Then again I went and also never moved. Another time I showed up car was being driven around. As I was looking for it the car was gone for over 15 minutes as the inspector went driving it and that's when I showed up. I have no idea how long he was driving it before. They gave me the car back one time with 2 miles left on the tank which is terrible for the vehicle itself including motor and fuel system.

    A shop initially identified a misfire, but SilverRock moved the vehicle to Chevrolet, who claimed there was no misfire. Seven months later, Chevrolet reversed their position and confirmed the misfire but claimed it was no longer covered under warranty. I have spent over $6,000 out of pocket for repairs, with 90% of the issues still unresolved. and the rest I've been notified of when I finally moved it back to the shop I didn't want to move it from. Throughout this process, I was forced to constantly follow up with Carvana, SilverRock, and the shops involved, as communication was practically nonexistent. The delays were largely caused by SilverRock’s slow approval process and Chevrolet’s inconsistent diagnoses.

    Warranty Failures: Despite having an active warranty at that time, SilverRock and Carvana tried to take up as much as the time possible. While some stuff related still not fixed. The warranty’s coverage was supposed to ensure peace of mind, but instead, it has been nothing but a source of frustration. I’ve driven this car for less than 500 miles over 15 months, while repair shops have put on more miles than I have. I have spent countless hours on calls, emails, and follow-ups, trying to resolve issues that should have been handled by Carvana and SilverRock. The financial burden has been overwhelming, with thousands of dollars spent on repairs for a car that is still not functional.

    Carvana is not the best choice. You cannot see the vehicle and have to rely on their description. At end August my car was totaled. I work and thought Carvana would be a great choice and could save me time. First choice car I realized they were adding over 2k “delivery fee” to get it to Mission Valley. Next one sounded like it had more miles than I wanted but was in great shape. I put half down. I got there and realized it had A Lot of cosmetic issues. It needed 4 software updates and had a recall on airbags in front. They claim a 7 day money back guarantee BUT would not issue it for about 2 weeks.

    I had to be at work at 630 AM the next morning. So I took the car. I had to take it to the dealer for the updates and airbag repair. Knowing what I know now I would have gone back to Carnax to buy. Next time - I will. What was wrong? Pitted paint all over the hood, a large dent in the window frame, a chip out of driver door paint - the only thing mentioned in the description.

Items they don’t want you to use but they have to include them like the button for using your own financing instead of Carvana's, is hidden in light blue font smaller than all other types on the page. I ended up using my own financing because their financing terms were so ridiculously high and they gave me a very low price for my trade. I am canceling my order with them because of the second delay in delivery and because I now realize how much better of a deal I can get elsewhere.

    Do not use Carvana. You’ve been warned! Carvana is the worst buying experience I’ve ever had. They have no respect for the customer. They canceled my delivery eight minutes before the delivery. Then rescheduled it for another day, then canceled that, Which was four days later because they didn’t have any other days available, an hour before they were supposed to deliver.

    This is our third car purchase in as many years from Carvana. Case arrived with some cosmetic damage that was not listed along with the two in sale listing online. Carvana/Silverrock denied a claim to repair said cosmetic issues. Said it was normal wear and tear. Not happy at all with this. The one issue noted on the hood is smaller than the ones in question for repair and it was listed in sale description.

    This was such a bad experience. Pre sale customer service has no clue what they are talking about. They just tell you what you want to hear to get the sale. Then they change the story on you. Would never do business with Carvana again. One of the worst experiences with a big purchase I have ever had.

    So first off I can't find my order number but my phone number is **. Now that that's out of the way you are probably wondering how my new us right? So let's begin. I've only had the car in my possession for 3 days. One of which I was able to drive it and try it and the other 4 days it's been getting bounced around repair shops since it arrived with a fuel injector spraying gas all over the motor. I purchased this car so my child would be safe in it but instead It ended being dangerous to drive.

    This resulted in me missing work for 2 days at $270 a day plus $50 for an Uber and don't forget to mention the gas money that literally got wasted. Here I am day 8 of "ownership" and still don't have a car so you tell me how it's going. Oh and by the way I feed 7 kids out of my own pocket and this took a huge hit because I bought a "good inspected vehicle" and let's not even say it was a minor overlooked item as I'm not a mechanic and found the leak in 30 seconds because gasoline has a very distinct smell.

    I had multiple issues with customer service making false claims, making promises and not fulfilling them, and the 150 inspection I am very skeptical about. I made 2 orders, and both vehicles had issues. Customer support was barely to no help, just pawning the issue off to next representative. The first vehicle I kept because they took my trade in and that could not be reversed (if I could I would) and the second vehicle had major suspension issues and the safety features do not work. I am in the process of returning that now. I will swap for another vehicle and I will see if Carvana will make this right, but I am not hopeful.

    I sold my car to Carvana on Monday. Everything seems smooth until it was not. The driver came to pick up my vehicle, and after a thorough evaluation he told me the car was as I described it in the selling process. He proceeded to give me a check and I immediately went to my bank to deposit it. The bank rejected the check because the routing number, and the account number were not completely visible on the check and therefore it was not valid. I returned home, the driver had already loaded my car on the truck. I stopped him and told him not to leave until I got the issue of the invalid check resolved.

    I was on the phone for over an hour with an associate who assured me that a replacement check would be issued within 48 hours and sent overnight to me. I called today after the 48 hours and talked to another associate who told me that the company policy was to issue replacement checks within 5 business days, and what the previous associate told me was incorrect. I am now at the mercy of Carvana to make good on their promise to send a replacement check. After this experience, I am very uncomfortable since all the communications after the invalid check have been verbal. Carvana associates do not seem to want to communicate in writing.

    You need to not have a background telling me what to say before I even speak. I take exception to the condition of my Jeep that I just purchased, the delivery guys apologized to me and said they tried to clean it up, and that it's supposed to be sent detailed to them to touch up before I get it. Well, the vehicle sat around in a dirty warehouse or whatever for an extended period of time so the slime, scum, and tarnish that brillo pads were required to get off of it. It smells like ** too, 4 days with everything off of the jeep and my deep cleaning the carpet, seats, dash and all exterior.. I've already began building it and spent the money for the parts or I would have given it back to you.

    I deserved better than that.. One more thing, you replaced the drive tires and left a flat spare on the rear, and I mean dry rotted unable to hold air or pass your supposed test. They point out two spots in the ad that say "minor scratches". Well, take a look do those look minor? Like I said, if I didn't already have all of the parts and no patience you would have your Jeep back. Now that I have top to bottom, I want to say I birthed it at this point, I've scrubbed less on my inground pool for the last 17 years..

    1. Truck showed up with dirty windows like no one even took a second to try and clean them. (I can get over this).
    2. After test driving I found a rather big oil spot on my driveway, turns out it was coming from oil filter because it was not put on all the way, there was clearly oil leaking down the side of it. I was able to get one full revolution out of the filter to tighten it fully. (Very poor attention to detail).
    3. Paperwork in truck has very little scribble to it saying what was checked and fixed or replaced. Said the headlights both RT and LT were revitalized (taken cloudy fog off lens). Well they did the passenger side but not driver's side. Again poor attention to detail.

    4. The retractable side driver side mirror does not retract, again not noted on the paperwork at all. What is noted on paperwork is completely unreadable.

    I called Carvana to let them know about 14 separate issues I had with the car, I was on a road trip and wouldn’t be able to get the car to a service center within the 30 day 1,000-mile limit they have for wearable items (this is a ‘secret’ warranty that I was only told about long after I’d put more than 1,000 miles on the car). I was assured there would be no issue with my warranty even though I would be outside of the 14-day window they had told me about (they waive the deductible in the first 14 days).

    When I took the car in to the service center they found that the alignment was so bad (this is one of the 14 issues I originally notified Carvana of) was so bad that two of the tires were worn down to the threads on the inner shoulders of the tires. 13 of my 14 issues were not covered despite the fact ALL of them should have been flagged and fixed by their 150 Point Inspection. My out-of-pocket costs for repairs will be well over $3000 for items that should have been repaired before the car was listed for sale. Do your own due diligence and don’t trust the I spectuo report or anything any of the customer reps tell you if there’s any doubt you’ll be outside of 1,000 miles or 30 days when your claim is started (claim isn’t started by notifying them of any issues, you MUST take the car to an in-network repair center to have a claim started).

    Beware of Carvana's mistakes: All of the process up to the registration was very smooth. The buying, delivery and customer service was great. However, when my probate office received the registration paperwork, it showed me living in the wrong county. I had to contact Carvana and they had to restart the process. They did not inform me that they were actually restarting the entire buying process. This cost my credit a few points, being run back to back buying a vehicle. In turn, my payment increased.

    Carvana is crap. I’m regretting buying a car from them before I even get it off the lot. They didn’t even tell me I had a deadline after it said my order was set to be completed tomorrow at 1pm. They just wanted to add a few pictures like title and I’d ext. Okay not a problem. I messaged them and said, "Hey I will get all the info needed," but I was at work so I couldn’t do it until after 4pm. Which I was told was fine.

    I went home and started to send the paperwork in and it was then telling me the original time was unavailable. Well that made no sense so I called to talk to someone named Theya. She was like, "I’m sorry but there is nothing that can be done. Your time was already taken up." What happened to customer is always right? What kind of service does this? Because they didn’t do their part on extending my time I have to change it entirely? What kind of business is this? I would understand if I didn’t try to fix this earlier but I did everything on my end. This is now their problem and not mine. I don’t see how they are still in business.

The transmission was stuck in first gear, the frame and control arms were rusted, and there was mud in places that made no sense. I refused to accept the truck due to its terrible condition.

Each representative I spoke to was kind but unhelpful. I was informed that the treasury team, responsible for refunds, is non-customer facing, and the process is unclear with no timeline provided.

    Avoid Carvana at all costs. Dealing with them after a vehicle rejection is an absolute nightmare. Despite being a loyal customer with multiple previous purchases, this experience has turned me off completely. I urge everyone to steer clear of Carvana.

    The car is as described, which is ultimately what you hope for when buying online. My delivery was delayed several days, I suspect due to a discrepancy in when Carvana told me I needed to have my insurance begin (1 day before getting car) vs when the state required me to have insurance (3 days before getting car). No refund or recourse for the inconvenience there. There were also many urgent texts and emails asking me to resend documents I had already sent. Those things made me feel a little sketchy about the process, but ultimately, I have the car and am enjoying it!

    Absolutely terrible. Received vehicle and call one of their preferred shops on day 3 because I noticed some rust on the muffler. They couldn’t get me in until day 6. Was told that there were some things that needed to be fixed but nothing major and that Silver Rock would have to approve additional testing. I kept the car thinking everything was minor. After the additional testing was done come to find out It was leaking oil and coolant and had been for sometime even though my car was certified and a 150 inspection was done. Let the shop there wasn’t even enough coolant to test and had been leaking for a while. Is stated on the CARFAX that my truck had been in a Ford dealership shop two days before delivery, I contacted the shop to find out why they had the vehicle and what was done to it and they refuse to give me any information and told me that Carvana could get that from them and then they could give it to me.

    I spoke to three managers. All told me that there was nothing they could provide me, even though it was supposedly certified there were no paperwork, and they refuse to contact the dealership to tell me what was done. An executive manager called me and read the stuff that was fixed when the inspection was done, which was front end driver side in the hood, but yet the truck was never supposed to be in a wreck or that was never disclosed. I asked about the coolant and he stated that everything checked out fine, which again part of the shop and pictures that were taken that’s not possible. The warranty would only pay for half of what needed to be done because the rest wasn’t 100% faulty. I’ve spoke to four different managers.

    The executive manager told me that he would pay for $300 worth of what I had to pay out-of-pocket for the shop which if you ask me is disgusting that they can admit fault and pay for half of your damages, but not all of them. I’ve had my car since October 26 and it’s already been in the shop twice for timing chain, spark plugs, engine coil and something else resulting in 23 days in the shop. I am still waiting on my reimbursement for my rental car that I could have for MAX 10 days and you have to pay upfront. Almost 800 out of pocket at the shop to have things that if an inspection had actually been done would have been caught. I have lost out on countless shifts at work right before Christmas because I didn’t have a vehicle to get me there.

    I have called several times and talked to several managers and it disgust me they tell people that they want you to feel safe and secure when you by a certified vehicle from them and that you can contact them anytime and get additional information but dear God if it’s something that they have covered up or you have proof of their lies they will completely shut you down. I had an executive manager read me everything that they fixed but refused to provide me with the information. The other manager told me through chat 3 times which dear God copy and paste every conversation you have with them because they delete after a day or two. She told me they didn’t have any further information and I kept telling her the guy's name and number from the ford dealership that Carvana took it to and she again refused to do.

    They are very crooked and btw Carvana and the bank they use and silver rock are all owned by the same people. Please please do not buy a vehicle from them and if you have to take it directly to be checked out and pay the deductible to take it to someone you trust. Their preferred shop also quoted me at 2550 out of pocket but as soon as I started suing Carvana they realized they mistakenly had ordered the incorrect parts and the correct parts were only 650. The only positive part of my experience was dealing with the girl that delivered it. The rest of it has been the worse headache and for someone who is a single parent that works 60 hours a week I am in a worse bind now than I was before purchasing. So they say third goal is to make sure you have peace of mind when it comes to your new ride. Dear God run and absolutely go somewhere else or please have it checked out before your 7 days!!

Windshield Issue: There is a large amount of sticky glue residue on the driver’s side of the windshield, which should have been removed before delivery. This is a major distraction while driving. SilverRock was swift to tell me that these issues are not covered and I am sure that is why Carvana did not disclose them. If it is "acceptable wear and tear" seems even more shay to hide them and not clear the windshield of the gunk. Fuel Level: Additionally, I was expecting the car to be delivered with a full tank of gas, this was not the case, and it would have been a nice touch to receive the vehicle with a full tank considering all the other defects I was surprised to find.

    Title: Horrible Experience with Carvana - Avoid at All Costs! I recently had an incredibly frustrating and disappointing experience with Carvana. From the start, it felt like I was being treated as an employee rather than a customer, with unreasonable deadlines and demands that were impossible to meet. It was as if I was negotiating for a loved one being held hostage, with constant pressure and threats if tasks weren't completed on time.

    Despite my best efforts to meet their demands, I inadvertently missed multiple deadlines. When I finally thought I had completed the last task correctly, I was scolded for not doing it right. After taking time off from my actual job to send the correct item, I was informed that the car I wanted had been sold out from under me. When I complained, Carvana attempted to push me towards another car, but this time they wanted to charge an un-refundable shipping fee. It felt like they were just trying to run off with my money without any intention of selling me a car. I have lost all trust in Carvana and would strongly advise anyone considering purchasing a car from them to look elsewhere. Their customer service is abysmal, and the entire process is a nightmare.

I have spent almost $2,500 in car rentals in the past two months. They obviously do not inspect the cars before they sell them, the mechanic said they should have never sold it in its condition. Carvana would not do anything 'cause it was after the 7 days (how convenient).

    Worst experience possible. I was sold a car where the tires were out of balance, rotors warped, and the entire undercarriage was rusted and then spray painted over to hide it! This was a fraudulent transaction. This car was not inspected or if it was someone horrifically failed at their job. This car was unsafe to drive. The steering wheel was misaligned and pulled to the right if you turned the wheel straight. And since this car is not safe to drive I have it scheduled to be picked up and returned. I was given a 12 hour return window of when the car would be picked up. 12. Never purchase from this company. They are not taking any responsibility.

    This company is dishonest. I noticed that the windshield was cracked after picking up the vehicle the night before. They told me that if I seen anything to let them know in the morning because when I picked the car up it was so dark and no one had a flashlight and the lighting wasn’t the best. When I reached out to them the next morning to address my concerns, I was told that it should have been addressed the night before. I asked for them to do a further investigation because that’s not what I was told before I left the dealership, they told me that they were looking into it and would give me a callback. I reached out to them every day and no one ever reached back out to me, by the end of the week, no one has reached out to me, and it was too late to return the vehicle. Later I find out that they sold me a vehicle with a restricted key.

    This was my first time purchasing a Volvo so I did not know that it was different colors to the keys. When I try to do stuff with the car I was told that I only had limited Access due to me not having the main key, when I reached out to Carvana to let them know that they sold me a car with restrictions on the key. They basically said that’s my problem and I have to pay for it. How do you go about selling a vehicle with a Key that only has limited access, they did nothing to help.

    Ok so the purchasing of my 2017 Silverado went pretty smooth. After one year of having my truck I decided to refinance with my credit union because when I tried to make a extra payment. The entire amount I paid went towards the interest and not the principal. So I went to my credit union to refinance through them and at first I was approved instantly until they seen who the current loan holder was. "Carvana" and said sorry we can't because carvana takes too long to release the title. So I did some research on this and sure enough. This is a huge problem with carvana. I was told there are a lot of banks that will not do refinancing on loans that have carvana's name on them. Carvana has made it difficult for people to refinance through other banks of your choice. So just an FYI steer clear of this business.

    Car was generally described, and process was smooth - with one exception: The vehicle was delivered without the dual level charger that was described in the "Key Features" section, as well as included in the photos. After multiple phone calls to ask for either the original charger or an equal replacement, Carvana opted to only give me a fraction of the original charger's value as a check (which still hasn't arrived). This sort of thing shouldn't even be a question: If Carvana said the vehicle would come with an item, they should provide that item.

    I've purchased several vehicles from Carvana and I've finally learned my lesson. I found a beautiful black 2020 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon with a little over 17k miles on it at a fair price so we checked the Carfax, 2 commercial owners and one personal owner, nothing stood out as problematic. When my vehicle first arrived I wasn't asked to do a test drive as they usually do and I was soon to learn why. At first it seemed fine even though there was a crack in the windshield that wasn't noted and more scratches with horrible touchup paint (reviewed the images on their site and saw it since I knew it was there before I got it. I knew pointing it out was pointless as they refused to do anything about it from a previous purchase) .I decided to drive it on a work trip because what better way to test it than to drive it to Indianapolis and back to Georgia.

    On the 7th day, a few hours after my cutoff time to swap it I had a check engine light come on and proceeded to take it to the SilverRock approved repair shop. They told me at that point that SilverRock refused to touch it as it was still under the 36K powertrain warranty by Jeep and it would have to go to an OEM Jeep dealership. Once we took it there and they ran the tests on the motor we found out it wasn't the original motor and it had been aftermarket tuned which voided the warranty and I was accused of this modification. Camshaft and lifter failures causing misfires. This is where I was told that the OEM 36k Powertrain warranty was voided.

    The dealership had to fall back on SilverRock to cover the repair... They dragged their feet and blamed us for the whole problem. The dealership proved we didn't modify the motor with the scan provided proof and SilverRock continued to say we did. After a month we got fed up with getting jerked around by SilverRock, the dealership offered to buy the jeep from us for approximately 7k less than I purchased the Gladiator for. At this point we were tired of waiting for our vehicle and being without our transportation we agreed. Now we have a 2025 Jeep Wrangler with a ridiculous payment because of getting shafted by Carvana and SilverRock. I will never buy or recommend them to anyone. Buyer beware!

    After my experience with Carvana I will tell everyone I know to never use Carvana to purchase a vehicle. I purchased a car that the check engine light came on 4 days after it was delivered. The car had engine work done to it but Carvana had no clue about modifications. After speaking with someone at Carvana about exchange process I chose to do that because of ease described by advocate. It was not an easy process by any means. The exchange took about two week because of Carvana system of processing a Cashiers Check. And now that I received new car Carvana is having trouble processing Cashiers Check that was given on second delivery, to the point they are sending threatening emails and texts about repossession. How can a company not take every step to ensure a Cashiers Check is fully tracked. Plus second vehicles has remote start listed on description but it has no remote start.

    Carvana offered a $100 dollar check for mistake of remote start listed. Over this whole experience I’ve spoken to at least 20 different people to try to help with problems. Only 1 individual actually knew what he was talking about the entire experience. Carvana your systems and standards are broken. I would say fix them but I actually hope no one uses your service to get screwed like I did.

    Worst buying experience I’ve had. Purchased vehicle online, everything went smooth until 40 min prior to delivery. I rec’d a call saying check engine light was on and they would look into it and call next day. I called Cs and did a chat on the app 5 times the next day. Chats kept being dropped and nobody knew what was wrong with the car or when it would be fixed. They also told me there was no escalations dept. I didn’t get the vehicle for over a week. Zero communication. Every time I called the CS rep seemed just as bewildered as me.

    Once the vehicle was delivered the driver told me “we checked the tires to make sure they’re safe or we replace them. This is good to go.” I brought it into a private shop to have it looked over and there were some minor things but the tread was dangerously low and I needed new tires. After 5 days of driving it, check engine light goes on. Now I’m told I deal with warranty company, Silverrock. Turns out, vehicle needs a new engine. I haven’t gotten the car back or even repaired. That was 3 weeks ago. I’m so frustrated, I don’t even know what to do. It’s like turning in circles and going nowhere with no one to help. My next step is to file a complaint with BBB and contact attorney general's office. BEWARE! This company makes it seem like it’s such an easy process but it’s an absolute nightmare and there seems to never be anyone to get a hold of other than entry level CS.

    I loved that you get to see the entire vehicle inside and out, however, when describing the number of scratches on the vehicle I was led to believe there were just 3 places. Turns out there were twice as many. I have a great credit score so I looked into financing through Carvana since I assumed it would make the process go through faster. Nevertheless, when they came back and told me I was qualified to finance my vehicle through Carvana it was going to be at 24.32%!!! Really? My credit score was just shy of 800! Not going to happen… If you don't finance through them, they give you these 'tasks' that need to be accomplished along the way. However, they don't tell you ALL of the tasks that need to be done at one time. You only find out about the 'other' tasks, once you've completed the prior task.

    Also, unless someone calls you, you never find out why a particular 'task' keeps failing or why they keep asking for the same thing over and over. Over the course of 3 days, I uploaded the same documents over and over again until someone called and explained why it was failing. Once that 'task' was completed, I received another 'task' during the weekend needing information only my bank would have, but they were closed. The following Monday I was bombarded by phone calls and emails about other 'tasks' that needed to be accomplished in a matter of hours or my vehicle would not be delivered on-time. Once I did have everything completed within their timeline, I was told to call back to confirm one item. The person I talked to this time, told me I had to do several items that had already been done!

    I reiterated several times that they were already completed and that I was just calling back to confirm 1 item from my financial institution. It was only after a few minutes did this person actually look at my account and all of the notes to understand what I was saying. Then they told me congratulations, as I had completed everything and the car would be delivered tomorrow as scheduled. So, we went from "You need to accomplish all of this stuff" to, "Oh hey congratulations. You’ve traversed our mythical maze of the unknown!"

    This experience has really soured me on purchasing a vehicle online ever again. While there's a certain convenience to shopping online, like no salesperson following you around and prodding you for information, there's also a certain unknown to the entire process where you don’t have anyone physically to reach out to when you have questions. Also, using a call center NOT located within the USA makes the entire communication process harder and completely unnecessary.

    For the most part, my experience was outstanding. I submitted the purchase initially for a 2016 Kia Sorento with a price tag of $16,039.65. The deal was completed but when I went to secure insurance, my outfit informed me that Pennsylvania doesn't insure Collision coverage on Sorento's due to a high rate of stolen vehicles in that brand of car. I went back to Carvana and cancelled that purchase and completed the deal on the car I am keeping. There is a difference of $424 that is due to me as the Tucson was less than the Sorento.

    As of today, 8 days after the purchase, I have not received the $424 from Carvana. Carvana pulled the funds for the purchase on the day of the transaction and reminded me several times about the 7 day period to return the vehicle if I didn't want it. I would expect the $424 should be in my account within the next business day as I have gone past the 7 day return period.

Listen closely, because this is amazing: I called customer service, and TEN, 10, T-E-N consecutive agents over the course of a two hour phone call told me it was required. I declined.

    Then, when my vehicle was delivered, the delivery agent repeated this claim. I said no, I was not going to commit perjury. This makes ELEVEN of your representatives who all said I was required to commit perjury in order to complete the purchase. Fortunately, the delivery agent called "his paperwork person" who said "Aw, no , not really, that's just in case we lose the title."

    I'm satisfied overall with my used car buying experience, but I did note some cosmetic issues, verging on functional problems with the car. When I removed the Carvana inventory stickers from the windshield, I found a crack, which I had fixed immediately for $170 at my local Safelite. I also found the front grill was broken and the radiator behind it bent, as if a small animal or flexible soft object had gone through the front grill at freeway speed. The radiator isn't leaking and the car isn't overheating, so I just bought a front grill replacement (only $200 with a Black Friday coupon!) that I will install myself.

    I'm also not fully convinced that the low-mileage accurately reflects the true condition of the car. There are parts of the undercarriage, door crannies, and engine bay that are extremely dirty, as if the car was driven in a sandstorm or mud. Very strange, given the low mileage of the car. Maybe it was driven thru the Montana desert at high speeds... that explains the abraded paint on the hood.

And FORGET ABOUT EVER TALKING TO A REAL HUMAN. THAT'S NEVER HAPPENING!!!! Unbelievable. They’d rather me return than fix what was wrong BEFORE I took possession of the car! Oh they did offer $100 to clean the car due to the cigarette smell which is not enough to cover the detail it needs to remove the smell of cigarettes!

    This was my second time buying from Carvana. Everything was good the first time, though I did find that the car had been repainted and the painters had not removed the masking tape from the bottom of the car and there was a little over spray. No big deal. This time I had a couple issues. First, I received a call from the finance department who told me that they could not approve financing because I was behind on payments. To make a long story short, I was not behind on payments and the first Carvana associate was not very helpful. After confirming that my payment history was 100% on time, I called Carvana and got a representative called Henry who placed a 3 way call with the finance company so he could verify the payment history.

    As for the car itself, the people who do the pre sale cleaning and maintenance really dropped the ball on this one. The oil filter is on top of the engine on this car and it was not properly tightened so it was leaking oil pretty badly. They used a cheap CarQuest filter anyway, so I removed it and installed a quality filter. It was a 10 minute and $10 fix, but not something that should have to be done immediately after buying a car. The exterior was dirty and had some kind of white material slung across it that required rubbing alcohol to remove, and it was covered in scratches. I spent some time washing, using clay bar, polishing, and waxing, and most of the scratches went away.

    I feel like they should have put in a little more effort. The tan leather seats had several black scuffs that could be removed with some effort, but were not. The inside of the front windshield was so filthy that it was difficult to see while driving home the first evening. With all of these things, it tells me that the people in charge just don't care, or that they aren't given the time or resources needed to do a good job. Judging by some of the other cars I viewed, this is becoming a common issue.

    The car history showed that it spent most of its life up north. The listing and pictures did not mention that the car has a good amount of rust all throughout the undercarriage from road salt. I don't see any major deterioration, but the majority of the underside of the car is covered in surface rust. Honestly I like the convenience of Carvana, but I don't think I can recommend them after this last purchase. I don't mind tinkering with things, but a car should never need this much attention right after purchase

    Upon receiving the car it appeared that it was not washed. Not a big deal until I washed the car myself a couple of days later and then I noticed a small chip, in the front windshield. The car listed one imperfection however once I had time to really look through the entire car I was disappointed to see a few more imperfections. Around both front mirrors the material is worn, scratched and stained. Glue still, on the front windshield. Driver's rear view mirror noticeably scratched. I decided to keep the car but very disappointed. The car should have been detailed. and the chip, in the windshield should have been taken care of! I paid a lot of money for this vehicle!

    Overall, happy with the experience, however the first car we attempted to purchase had issues with the brakes. Why wasn’t that found when it was inspected for sale? We returned the car under the 7 day return policy and ended up with a more expensive model. We like the new car but I can’t help but feel a bit put out by the initial problem.

    When dropping off my car, the drop off guy was super polite and helpful. He gave me all the information that I needed when he was working with me. I had no questions by the time he left. He also explained the warranty coverage well and went over every detail or the car to make sure I was comfortable and knowledgeable.

    Bought a 2020 Toyota Tundra from Carvana. Had to pay $2000 non refundable for a delivery fee, a delivery to a carvana store 110 miles away from my home. Upon arrival I noticed many areas of the vehicle had minor damage not listed online, 42 spots to be exact. 39 of which are what I would call minor wear I didn't care much about. 3 were bad enough I requested some sort of compensation. Mind you there were 3 spots mentioned online that were negligible. Since I already had spent the non refundable amount on delivery I decided to take the car home.

    After having the carvana employee ensure me that he took pictures of the damage and documented them and that I could contact carvana to get it rectified. The 3 issues were 1 inside the door frame the paint was worn down in over a 6 inch area and the 2 others were rim damage that looked like someone hit a curb. All thing not mentioned or shown online. After contacting carvana about the issues they told me if I didn't like it return the vehicle. I didn't want to do this since I would be out the 2k for the delivery as well as their policy is anything over 400 miles after pickup is $1 a mile if the vehicle is returned. After trying my case again and pleading my case of paying over 52k for a truck I was told the same thing.

    According to them all this damage was normal wear and tear and if I didn't like it return it. I feel this is unacceptable especially since over half my "7 day trial" miles would have been just to drive it home and back to the dealer location. This would have resulted in me paying more money for damages they never listed. I paid for all the premium extra coverages and now feel as if I have just been taken advantage of. Granted yes I probably should have never drove the vehicle off the lot but I was already well vested in this truck. I also was told the truck would be delivered on Nov 4th then to be told it was delayed 4 extra days and would arrive Nov 9th. How can I be charged 2k for a delivery up front then get nothing back when they don't hold up their end.

    As they already had my money when I reached out about this issue they gave a similar response. In short, sorry... deal with it. You will not be given any compensation for a delayed delivery. Overall I do not recommend carvana. Customer service has been atrocious and their vehicle descriptions are deceitful. If for some off reason you do plan on using them never pay for a delivery fee find something else and make sure you expect way more damage than what is listed. Then and only then will you maybe not be disappointed.

    This organization is openly and unapologetically fraudulent. They misrepresented the vehicle I purchased and then tried to hide it. My only recourse was $500 or the option to purchase a different vehicle within three business days due to it being a holiday week...as if I would even consider being rushed into the purchase of another vehicle after they falsely advertised the first one. Save all purchase documentation including a screenshot or hard copy of the listing for the vehicle you purchase at the time of purchase in a safe location offline. That way when they change the listing and tell you you're mistaken about what the listing said you'll have proof.

    I purchased a vehicle based on the options listed at the time of purchase. I paid for the vehicle as listed. During the seven day return period I realized the vehicle didn't have several of the safety options the listing claimed it possessed. This company does not make any effort to find out about the vehicles they're selling. It took less than twenty-four hours for them to confirm with the manufacturer that the vehicle in question did not have the options advertised and which should have influenced the purchase price.

    Long story short, after many hours of my time and aggravation attempting to jump through the hoops of their "warranty process", being treated as though I were an idiot and being offered other lesser vehicles I find myself with no recourse but the Attorney General's office in my state. I can't discourage you strongly enough from purchasing a vehicle from this business. I don't know how their employees sleep at night knowingly defrauding vehicle buyers

    I recently attempted to purchase a vehicle through Carvana, and the experience has been nothing short of a nightmare. What started as an exciting process quickly turned into a frustrating ordeal due to poor communication and lack of accountability on Carvana’s part. First, I encountered issues with a trade-in because the car was not in my girlfriend’s name, which I completely understood. However, when I asked to proceed without the trade-in, I was told I had to restart the contracts and couldn’t pick up the car that same day, despite the vehicle already being at the location and ready. Instead of accommodating me, I was forced to wait until the next day.

    I decided to schedule home delivery to avoid further inconvenience, only to have it delayed again with no consultation or respect for my schedule. When I called to address the issue, I was given inconsistent excuses. The most absurd reason for the delay was that the car needed to be detailed and prepped, even though it should have been ready two days earlier when I first went to pick it up.

    To add insult to injury, I was initially promised a $100 apology check after receiving the car. After working with a representative named Spencer to switch back to a pickup option, I was informed that the $100 check was no longer valid because the contracts were changed. The constant apologies and lack of real solutions made it clear that the call center has no authority to resolve customer concerns effectively.

    This process has been unnecessarily complicated and unprofessional, with Carvana failing to deliver on their promises. I’m extremely disappointed with the lack of accountability, communication, and customer service. I hope to finally pick up my car tomorrow, but this entire experience has left me questioning whether I’d ever recommend Carvana to anyone.

    Bitterly disappointed overall, was given a delivery date, arranged a day off work and transport to Raleigh only to be told the day before that the car will not be ready, and I’ll have to come the next day. Duly arrived the next day to a bleak and freezing cold office, only bright spot were the folks working there who besides being as cold as us were super friendly. Really not sure how thorough the inspections are given that none of the tires were at the correct pressure, one being 6 lbs off standard. Naturally they did not have a working air pump, so it was left to me to ensure the tires were safely inflated. Not great for a 50k sports car. Car wasn’t particularly clean either, bodywork was dusty, interior just okay. All in all not a great experience, I doubt Carvana be the first place I look in future given this experience.

    My wife and I accepted delivery with 2 glaring issues that were checked off on "pre-sale" inspection. We hesitated to buy the car with these issues but were promised by the staff in Pittsburgh that they would be taken care of and that there "would be not be a problem". My wife and I after contacting Carvana's 3rd party warranty provider were told to visit a local Mieneke Franchise who said the car would need to be repaired at a Mercedes Dealership. Upon contacting the SilverRock we were told that we would have to find a Mercedes dealer that would take their insurance. Basically, we were left high and dry. This is not what we expected. We will keep the car but are not happy with this process.

    We are happy with the vehicle we purchased from Carvana (Mustang Mach-E). However, they came at the very end of the delivery window, which meant we took delivery in the dark and their representative did not go over the car with us or give us any kind of orientation. Because of this, we did not realize certain equipment had not been included. For example, the tires have locking lug nuts and Carvana did not provide us with the key.

    When I took the car in for its first service last week, the Ford dealership could not rotate the tires because they can't unlock the lug nuts. When we reached out to Carvana, we were told tough luck and that we should have read the contract more closely. I did not even know locking lug nuts was a thing! How would I know to ask if they provided that key? How do you sell a person a car without everything needed for ongoing use and maintenance? They refused to make good or reimburse us. Deeply disappointed in this level of service when it would have been so easy to make right.

    Don’t do it. Never, ever, EVER again. A simple issue with a lane change sensor has required multiple phone calls for over a week. No one in the process has a clue of how the process works. Carvana refers you to a service facility that can’t fix your car and doesn’t want to get involved. They then involve Silverrock. Silverrock sends you a confusing text message promising updates and doesn’t. Obviously Carvana does not do proper inspections of the car or this simple issue could have been fixed before delivery. We went this route for convenience. It’s been anything but convenient.

    I have the worst experience with Carvana. I was in a middle of buying a car and I did not reach to the point to get the loan approval and submitting my application. I drove the car in a dealer and then I did not like so I went to cancel the order before even completing the paperwork but they decided to get my money. The shipping cost which is almost 2000$ without any warning or anything that says if you did not cancel the order before 24 hr. We will take your money and it is not refundable. You took my money and your trucks did not even move a wheel to ship a car they did not even had an order officially. Just be aware this is the biggest scam and they will tell you, that you agreed to the policy which has this item not obvious at all.
