    The process was fast and easy. The approval was fast. I love my new car and it came earlier than expected which is wonderful! The person who delivered was friendly and helpful with any questions. The monthly payment is fair and the down payment was fair as well! I received a better rate at Carvana than at my local bank making the payments less and the hassle gone. It was truly a great experience and I will never go back to traditional car buying. The 7-day test drive is great as it gives a chance to make sure everything is okay with car and it was!

    Everything about our car buying experience was easy, smooth and understandable. Spending a whole day at a dealership is exhausting and we enjoying doing this from the comfort of our home. We chose to pick up our car and that process was smooth as well. The car was as advertised and we have had it for a week now and love it.

    I purchased a 2016 Jeep Renegade in October 2023, and it has been nothing short of a financial and emotional nightmare. Since my purchase, I have invested over $5,000 in repairs, yet the vehicle remains unreliable and unsafe. As of June 2024, I have been unable to drive it due to persistent mechanical failures. Major Issues Identified:

    Multiple Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) – Including P0440 (Evaporative Emission Control Malfunction), U0001 (CAN Bus Failure), U0402 (Transmission Control Module Issue), P2172 (Throttle Actuator Malfunction), and U0100 (Lost Communication with ECM/PCM). These issues affect engine performance, transmission, emissions, and safety features.

    Infotainment System Failure – GPS, radio, and backup camera are completely non-functional.

    Turn Signal Sensor Malfunction – Intermittent failures make signaling dangerous.

    Frequent Engine Stalling – Causes sudden loss of power while driving, posing a serious safety risk.

    Carvana’s Lack of Accountability. I have contacted Carvana multiple times, seeking an amicable resolution, yet I have received no real assistance or solution. Their lack of responsiveness has only added to the financial and emotional stress of dealing with this defective vehicle. Despite my repeated efforts, Carvana has ignored my concerns and failed to take responsibility. Selling a defective vehicle without offering proper support is unacceptable. Much as I dislike complaining, Consumers deserve better protection and accountability from companies like Carvana. Would NOT recommend this vehicle or Carvana to anyone.

    CARVANA was a surprise fantastic experience. I saw their commercials and thought I would try it. I sold them my 2009 Honda LX in excellent condition with about 110,200 miles. They gave me $3,800 less $290 for delivery. This was $800 more than a dealership wanted to give me last year. The system they use for submitting the front and back of my driver's license and title was easy to use. Signing the sale documents was a snap on DOCUSIGN. Finally, a great experience using technology. Thank you David the tow truck driver for CARVANA and CARVANA itself for such a surprise and fantastic experience.

    I have nothing but positive things to say about my car purchase through Carvana. The hardest part was narrowing down the vehicle I wanted. Once I decided on a vehicle everything was easy breezy! The purchase took 30 minutes, if that! Delivery was fantastic. They called me to have the vehicle delivered earlier. I said, I wouldn't be home so they delivered to my work. The entire delivery took only 10 minutes! I am never wasting my time at a dealership again! I will be purchasing from Carvana again in the future. I LOVED MY EXPERIENCE!

    Process of buying the car was fast and easy. I enjoyed it and will definitely be purchasing another vehicle through Carvana. Upon receiving the vehicle, the Associate was very kind and helpful. I would like to add, before delivering the vehicle.. I assumed a mechanic would top off the fluids and detail the car. I had to wash and detail the vehicle after I received it and top off the fluids (wiper fluid). If this is a normal procedure, as a customer, I would change that. I expected to have a clean and detailed vehicle.. And I did not expect to have to replace fluids the day of receiving the vehicle.

    The online shopping, descriptions are great. Process of setting up purchase was smooth, minus some slight confusing on how to move forward when financing outside of Carvana. The trouble came when trying to pick up the car. The elevator broke on the car vending machine, and after my pickup time was rescheduled 2 time. I then opted for a delivery which was also rescheduled and then showed up an hour after the time frame. I had to have the person delivering wait till I was done with a work call. I do love my new car so far, but the descriptions failed to mention the 2nd row installed blinds were removed and Carvana said because they were "Removable items" they were not responsible for it.

    Having kids - these were one of the reasons I went with the car I did, so it was a bit disappointing that they were not there. As they are built into the doors, I can't see how they are a removable item... The 4 reschedules made are making it tricky to track any overpaying for the car as I made a payment on my trade in car during that time period. I am sure things will work out - but it is a bit more of a headache than I was expecting.

    I have owned and loved my hybrid Porsche Cayenne for years and was hungry for an upgrade to a fully electric SUV. I test drove multiple models in showrooms of Porsche, Rivian, BMW, and others but I KNEW that I didn’t want to lease or purchase a new vehicle so I decided to give Carvana a shot, and I’m so happy I did! There were a couple of hiccups along the way with scheduling but the Carvana team was accommodating and quick to find a reasonable resolution, which I was happy with. Nobody was willing to give me the price that Carvana offered (not unless I sold directly to an individual buyer but I didn’t want that hassle). And the best part of the experience was meeting Dane at the Carvana Daly City location.

    Dane handled the entire transaction (sale of Porsche and purchase of new SUV) with grace, joviality, and warmth. Even as others entered the lounge area, waiting for service, Dane didn’t miss a beat in making us feel like we were the most important people in that moment. We didn’t feel rushed at all and felt fully in control the whole time. And the car vending machine seems gimmicky but, when it’s your turn to drop the coin in the slot, it’s a joy to see the entire production play out. Thank you, Carvana team!! We’ll see you when we are ready for another upgrade!

    This is the second vehicle I have purchased with your team and the two experiences couldn't have been more different. The customer experience this time was about 5 minutes and the guy went back inside and left. The truck issued was not in the condition it was shown as being in. It has some funky aftermarket cold air intake and not the stock airbox and filter. It sounds like it has an exhaust leak in the muffler but I can't tell because of the after market parts are loud already which none were on the listing. The truck had two bad turn signal bulbs I had to change which staff must have known because blinker was moving at hyper speed when you indicated a turn.

    Some panels on the interior are super scratched up which wasn't listed on the report. Mileage was different more than a little bit. I am also going to have to get the transmission looked at as it seems to be rough shifting. Very disappointed in this company. Especially when the pricing isn't great anyway. The reason I did a second vehicle is because I felt like I got an honest shake on the condition of the first vehicle.

    I have shopped at Carvana before, purchasing 3 cars from them in the past. I was very disappointed in my recent experience. My car came visibly dirty on the outside (bad wash job), the battery failed load tests at the dealership and needed to be replaced in less than a week (which means the battery was not properly tested/replaced by you). The "change oil" light came on by day 4, which means you didn't check/change fluids. I understand you all are busy, but this makes me question whether you inspect your vehicles properly. I took it to the dealership to get inspected. While I am keeping the car, I do not believe I will purchase from you again. Your quality has really reduced. Do better please.

    Two significant damage issues with car, noted on delivery. The site staff didn’t document one of them (side sidewalk gash) properly, so I had to spend hours figuring it out myself, because when you accept the vehicle their “warranty” kicks in, and it's not designed to cover items noted on delivery. App is terrible; customer service is nonexistent. Unless you have a field guide to working with Carvana, DO NOT buy a car from them.

    Overall the experience was positive, we love the car and the transaction was very smooth and effective. The only gripe was with the '150' point inspection, which in my mind should have noted the significant wear on the tires and future brake work. The tires especially as I replaced them immediately. While Carvana asked to submit a warranty claim but admittedly this is likely a wear and tear item.. A full disclosure should have been made - moreso than a Knick or two. But again, we are happy with the car.

    The online purchase was particularly easy. I set for the vehicle to be delivered. On the day of delivery, I get an email saying that the vehicle would be delayed. No explanation. I contacted customer service and they gave me a worn, vague non-answer about the delay. So the revised date arrives, and due to weather, it's pushed back again...Now it's a week out from when it was supposed to arrive. I called customer service again to see what other options I had, and was able to pull the date forward by two days by setting an appointment to pick it up myself instead of having it delivered. Okay, fine. When I get to Carvana (Ubered there at my expense), I wait 50 minutes -after- my appointment time because they're too busy. The car had been run through an automated carwash and a vacuum, but that appears to be the extent of anything done with the vehicle.

    The exterior had grease and tar on it that the carwash didn't remove, and they didn't care to do any more cleaning. One of the wiper blades was torn, so it's clear that the vehicle wasn't checked over for full functionality or defects. This is the 4th car I've purchased from Carvana, and my experiences have ranged wildly from great to abysmal. This experience is slightly lower than a middle of the road experience, largely because of the delay and the lack of attention to the vehicle condition. I love the vehicle and will keep it, but Carvana simply doesn't care about the condition of the vehicles they get. I truly believe they buy at auction, wash the vehicles, and send them on their way, leaving the customer to deal with things they should have done.

    I am so sorry that I am unable to find my "Order number." I still believe that you deserve a review. First, thank you! Not long after I moved in with my 93 year old mother (a little more than a year ago) to help her with her daily life; she fell and broke her hip. It was in that time frame that things changed for me financially. I was faced with choosing to pay my credit card bills (as I had always done on time - before her fall) or help my mother with her new financial needs. Of course, I choose my mother. Needless to say, my credit score diminished. Before being told to search on Carvana's website, I continually received denials when applying for a vehicle from a dealership. My vehicle (which I purchased brand new in 2018) was increasingly having bad issues for a couple of months...before I started my search on Carvana. By the time I was approved for the 2015 Buick Encore - my car gave out.

    I am grateful to Carvana for approving my application, and I am extremely grateful that I didn't have to pay a down payment. (Because my only income is SSDI, every dollar matters.) The vehicle is Beautiful, and has been well kept. It literally looks younger than it is. I am also grateful for the limited warranty. That is definitely better than having no warranty at all.

    The first time I drove the vehicle, the tire light was on, and the mechanic let me know that there was also another issue. SilverRock took care of it, and my cost was $0. I am very grateful. Literally one day after the 7 days that you allow the customer to decide whether we'll keep the vehicle, return it, or trade it in for another; the engine light came on and the wording that appeared on the dashboard was: "engine overheating - idle engine." SilverRock covered that cost as well, with my portion, once again, being $0. I am EXTREMELY grateful. What makes me nervous, is the fact that the engine overheating was the final issue with the vehicle that I had before receiving my vehicle from Carvana.

    I don't know if there will be another engine issue; especially because of the age of the vehicle. I am truly grateful for SilverRock, but the warranty is limited; and I'm just getting started with the vehicle. So again, I am VERY grateful that I was able to get a vehicle from Carvan, but a little nervous about the quality of the vehicle - under the hood. That is why I'm giving this review 3 stars instead of 5. The 3 stars mean: so far so good. But from my heart: I Am Grateful! Thank You Carvana. (*_*)

    Purchasing a car from Carvana was not so pleasant experience. Starting with the purchasing through carvana. Attempting to finance through carvana was unsuccessful due to the security questions that were very vague but required specific answers that did not fit the description of my past. Receiving the car was no hassle at all as it was delivered to my house. After receiving the car was a nightmare, after taking it to my mechanic there were a multitude of dents, over paint, and damage that was unreported in the pictures (on the website). This was not a problem as the warranty is supposed to cover unsatisfactory cosmetically. As far as mechanically, this was not the case. After reporting these cosmetic problems all of the cases were denied and I am left to fix these with my own money. If I had time to return the car I would’ve and found another place to buy from.

    Purchasing a vehicle from Carvana has been a let down on multiple fronts. When the vehicle arrived the outside was completely filthy. It was not detailed or cleaned AT ALL before delivery. How much work would it have been to run it through a $5 car wash before delivery? I had to run it through the car wash THREE times and there was still residual dust/dirt on multiple areas. The trunk has rust on it which was not shown online which I will need to deal with. There is residual glue/sticky material on the inside windows from where the front tint was removed (very poorly). The touch up paint they did on the front bumper over sprayed onto the grill (white paint on a black grill), I will just have to live with it but why even bother touching up paint if it cannot be done properly. Now the grill needs touch up work. All of these things I was willing to get over because I really liked the specific model/color/trim/options combo of this vehicle.

    The biggest disappointment though and what really made me lose faith, was after I had the vehicle inspected and they discovered leaking coolant (low coolant) and an oil leak from the camshaft of the engine. This was not disclosed on the WI buyers guide which is required by WI law. Upon reaching out to Carvana, they simply said to go get it fixed at a preferred repair facility. No apology, it's my problem now. I requested reimbursement for the inspection/diagnosis of the leak (roughly $350) which I think is quite reasonable for such a massive failure on their part. They were not interested in helping. Just kept repeating to go get it fixed myself. This was really a big slap in the face as a customer. So, I need to spend my own time/money to fix something they missed and were required by WI law to disclose to the consumer. The rep simply stated - we don't do repairs. Yeah, that's very clear based on the state of the vehicle that you do not do repairs.

    Now my vehicle is in for service for the next 1-2 weeks until the engine can be torn down to be fixed. On the plus side, my plates arrived quickly, although I don't have a car to put them on right now. The delivery rep was also very friendly and efficient, he was great. These small positives do not make up for the misses on Carvana's part. Its safe to say I will never purchase another vehicle from Carvana and will be telling everyone how poor of an experience this has been. I'm out two days of work and money to deal with something that never should've been my problem to fix in the first place.

    Don't make promises to consumers about inspections/certifications if you're going to fail so miserably on the execution. Just be honest about the product you are selling. The only reason I chose to keep this vehicle is because I found it nearly impossible to find the same color/trim/option package within a reasonable distance to me. I really hope this car will last me the next five years once it is repaired, right now I don't have much faith in it.

    I’m extremely frustrated with how this situation turned out. My application was denied due to a supposed lack of proof of income, which makes no sense since I provided my tax documents that clearly reflect exactly what I said I earn. Adding to my frustration, I paid $1,690 between the down payment and delivery fees, and now I have to wait 2 to 5 business days to get my money back—or so I was told over the phone. However, the email I received says it could take up to 15 business days, which is absolutely ridiculous. How can you charge me for something that wasn’t approved?

    On top of that, the customer service experience was unacceptable. Jasmin, the first assistant I spoke with, was quite rude. She claimed there was no manager available to speak to, couldn’t provide the store number she works for, and said there was no review department I could contact. She also told me she was going to cancel the application but didn’t follow through and hung up on me. I had to call back and speak to someone else to ensure the application was actually canceled. I gave buying a car online a chance, but after this experience, I’ll definitely never do it again. This entire process has been unprofessional, and I am deeply disappointed with the way I’ve been treated.

    The car had over 800 miles more than what was listed. The car had more damage than what was disclosed. All 4 wheels have very bad curb rash. Multiple dings/scratches on body. Worst of all was the shoddy attempt that Carvana made at repainting the front bumper before selling. Never disclosed any body work performed. Multiple drips in paint and overspray on front lights. Called 6-7 times and got nowhere. My only option was to return the car and lose the $1300 shipping cost. I was promised multiple call backs about my concerns and not once did that happen. Told me to call Silver Rock and Silver Rock said it was a Carvana issue. Never again will I buy a car through Carvana. This is my honest experience.

    The description of the vehicle could be better. I’m going through the repair service now because my vehicle arrived with dangerously low tread and cracking tires. How this gets through and not addressed prior to selling is beyond me. I can understand overlooked details or damage that’s harder to see. For example a bad wheel bearing that takes longer to diagnose and needs certain conditions to realize you have that problem but every single car has 4 tires and they’re big and noticeable and to not see GIANT cracks or very low tread is beyond me. Anyways I hope the repair processs goes smoother and you guys take care of me but for now it’s 2 stars 'cause delivery and purchasing was very easy and smooth.

    Not very impressed. I received my car which I do love but it was not thoroughly checked. Service light on day 1 and the day before I was taking it to get inspected, it had a dead battery. I kept getting the run around on what to do and then they eventually had to take my car for 48 hours because apparently, that’s how long the insurance claim takes to go through. Don’t get my inspection done now until Monday because it was in the shop for two days just to change a battery. Definitely disappointed because this should’ve been caught before I received the car.

    I'm sure this process is simple for those who finance through Carvana, but it was very frustrating to complete this process using my personal bank. I was penalized because Carvana employees failed to do their job in a timely manner and had to delay the purchase of my vehicle for another day, despite there being an ENTIRE business day to verify the check my credit union made to Carvana. Next, you need to update your website regarding the insurance requirement. Per your website under the Pennsylvania tab information, I would be required to have insurance on the vehicle I was purchasing, the DAY OF PURCHASE. However, you would not allow the appointment to remain scheduled until I had the insurance on the vehicle for FIVE DAYS PRIOR to me actually getting the vehicle! That is unacceptable and completely off-base from every other dealership in Pennsylvania.

    I think if you are conducting business in this state then you need to be aware how business is done. Another aspect to this disappointing experience was the fact that the "car vending machine" was "broken". That was the entire reason I had the vehicle sent there instead of having it conveniently shipped to my home. I went out of my way to come to your facility only to be told "it's broken" with no apologies made. I went through all of the frustration leading up to the purchase and then was deprived of my full Carvana experience, making the process, in my opinion, not worth it. My mother-in-law was considering purchasing through Carvana, but after hearing my experience, has decided to purchase elsewhere.

    We traded our car through Carvana. That process was fast and easy. The first car we had delivered had a lot more cosmetic damage than declared. Paint overspray all over the windshield and mirrors, peeling paint, rubber parts peeling up. They only showed “light scratches your finger nail can’t feel”. So we set up an exchange. This exchange was delayed 3 times. Twice the night before and once during the drop off window. Once was legitimate due to weather. The other two had no reason given. I was not allowed to pick it up even though they said it was at my local Carvana. If you aren’t in a hurry and don’t mind a lot of waiting and chatting with AI, it might not be bad. But, if you actually need the car… I’d pass. Not to mention, the car they sent was not the car pictured.

    I would not recommend Carvana to anyone. They totally lie. You can not use the 7 days love it or exchange it. Tried that and they never let me exchange it. They sold me a car that had frame damage and I should of known they were aware of it as to why the down payment was only $2 back. 50.00. They suckered me there. Once I had it they refused to exchange it. Their warranty is more like what warranty. What a joke and the funny thing is I tried to see what kind of deal they would give me to trade it back in. I paid 23,500 for my car.

    Their offer a month later to me was 10,000 to trade it in. But yet I paid $23,500. What a scam. Not to mention they lie about your interest as well. Mine was supposed to be 17% super high but they actually hit me with a 21% at signing and my credit score was 720. Do not get a car from them you will regret it. After confronting them with all these issues they refused to do anything to make it right. They literally said my problem. And refuse to even answer my BBB complaint.

    I'm visiting GA for a funeral. I flew out but thought it would be cheaper to drive back. I found my car, and there were two flaws mentioned. When I picked it up, there were other scratches. I didn't want to reject the car and decided to take it. I was driving and saw a 3-inch crack on the bottom of the windshield. I didn't see it because I had to leave. My appointment took about an hour, and my representative took about 45 minutes in the back. He said he needed to research additional information because the car was registered in another state.

    Carvana said I needed to mention the flaw at pick-up, but I didn't notice it, so now I have to go through my insurance to get it fixed. I also didn't like that the Carvana vending machine didn't have enough coins, so I didn't get a chance to keep one. Ordering the car was easy, but if I get another car or refer people to Carvana, I will tell them to thoroughly inspect it and ensure they aren't rushing to purchase a car.

    I traded my BMW 750LI to Carvana for a newer BMW 740i. Upon the arrival of the 740i it had 187 miles more than the online purchase agreement. It also had four dented rims which made for an extremely rough ride. The car was delivered to me in this condition after their 150 point inspection which I find impossible. I made contact with carvana regarding the damaged car and they informed me that they would not fix the car or make any adjustments and that I would have to file a claim under the warranty.

    Upon contacting the warranty I was informed that I would need to take the vehicle to one of their “in network” shops and they would decide if the damages were covered. They further informed me that car rims are considered cosmetic and they would only cover three rims if any coverage at all. I was informed that this could take up to 2 or 3 weeks if the repairs were made. I was informed that I would have to pay $750 dollars for a tow to the “in network “ shop due to the roadside assistance only covers up to $100. I would then be with no vehicle for an undetermined amount of time unless I rented a vehicle for myself and file a claim for possible reimbursement.

    Due to my having sold them my only vehicle and not able to afford their process I had to exchange the vehicle for another and could not cancel the entire purchase. This all happened in the 7 day exchange period. Starting the second day of delivery. I purchased a vehicle from Carvana in 2019 and it was one of the best car purchasing experiences I’ve had.

    When possession of vehicle there was no owner's manual, certain climate control buttons were not illuminated, a tire pressure sensor was malfunctioning. The person at the facility for pickup was nice but did not seem to be any help in getting an owners manual or the fact that there was only one decal for the 4x4. Also the infotainment system doesn’t connect Apple Play. The remote start feature on the vehicle was not working. An authorized key vendor for Carvana came out and tried 3 different brands new key remotes and the feature still would not work. That person said that the vehicle might not have that feature at all.

    I took the vehicle to Carvana’s authorized service provider and told them of all the issues I was having. At the end of it all the service provider just did a diagnostic scan and that was all. The items I had told them about, the remote start, the audio system, the non illumination of the climate control, was as if they didn’t look at it at all. The statement I got back from the service people was they only performed certain duties and if electrical, the vehicle had to be taken to another facility. Needless to say I was not satisfied with this at all.

    Going forward I will have to take the vehicle back to another repair provider for the electrical issues, leave the vehicle and so forth. This disrupts my work/sleep schedule since I work nights. Carvana claims to do a 150 point inspection on every vehicle. I feel the issues with the vehicle I chose were overlooked or found and not corrected. From the start of this purchase till now it’s been very aggravating and frustrating because I did not think I’d have to have the vehicle in a repair facility and eventually in another one that deals with electrical issues right after purchase.

    If I had known these issues existed I would have passed it up. The reason I didn’t return it during the 7 day return period was I was confident all the issues I had listed for the vehicle would be corrected. As of yet they have not been and once again I have to call Carvana to get another appt made for the electrical issues. The vehicle is now back at my residence with the issues and no one from Carvana has reached out to me to see if I was satisfied with the recent service visit.

    I just purchased a Honda 2021 Pass Port from Carvana, up until now, I would have had a 99% positive review to leave. It took me a couple of months to choose a car from them since I was buying online I wanted to be careful of what I chose. I was trading in my Jeep which I had for 7 years and was tired of getting it fixed. The representatives were wonderful working with me to choose the right car, everything was done more or less effortlessly. When the car arrived it wasn't what I expected but it was fine for now, I had planned to get a second car when I was done paying off this car. When the car arrived I was told by the person who delivered the car the back tire was low and I should contact Carvana about a new tire. I didn't think anything of it and put air in the tire. Since I had the car the tire would drop in PSI every now and then by 3 PSI but I'm thinking it's the cold weather or something.

    I finally had the time to take the car to Pep Boys to have the tire looked at and they told me I needed all-new tires. They started a claim and were told the tires were not covered. I called Carvana and explained this was not something listed as imperfections on the car otherwise I would have never bought the car, I just spent $1,000 getting the trade-in fixed on top of that I have to make car payments to them.

    The end result is because it's past the 30 days there is nothing they can do even though they never mentioned the car needing new tires and I would have never brought the car if it did. Now I have to drive the car in the snow with bad tires. I am praying I don't get into an accident. They could have at least offered to help me pay for the tires or something. I was telling everyone how buying a car online was not so bad I don't think I would recommend this method to anyone. I was going to get my daughter's car from Carvana but I think I will stick to a dealership.

All used vehicles are going to come with some issues, but the fact that most of them are not disclosed on the sale listing is very frustrating.

    Updated on 03/01/2025: It took about 1 month from initially paying in full to finally getting my truck. Then, I was sent an email saying the title was being processed and to check my dashboard. The dashboard said I should have my plates in the mail by today. I do not. Never received the plates. So I called today and they said "It's a glitch, that's an automated email and the info isn't accurate. You need to go to the DMV." I should have just bought a car from a regular dealership. It would have been MUCH MUCH easier.

    Original: I have now paid Carvana in full 2X. I paid the first time 3 weeks ago, they took 6 days to return my money. I then paid again a week ago. I scheduled my pick up a week ago. They have now delayed my pick up at the very last minute. It's now 3 weeks with me not having a car. My family will now need to: 1) take time off from work to get the vehicle, 2) once again (the 4th time) change our insurance effective date, and 3) their customer service just says "too bad," as there's nothing that they can do to help. They've effectively had my money for about 3 weeks so I'm also losing interest.

    You pay a $1,290 shipping fee for them to not even get your vehicle to you when they promised, then they expect you to jump through hoops to get the car with a new pick up time. Just go to a regular car dealer, save yourself the time, money, and a lot of headaches. I could have used to vehicle 3 WEEKS AGO when I first paid in full. This wouldn't happen if you just went to a regular car dealer. Never again.

The actual odometer showed 8000 miles. That was the first issue. Also ad stated car came with automatic start. Well after going to the dealership and spending lots of money, I finally have auto start features, but my original purchase did not come with auto start. Overall okay experience, but ad was false in multiple aspects.

    We had a seamless experience purchasing our 2023 Kia Sportage. The process was simple and the support from Carvana was great every step of the way. The only downside was when taking the vehicle to our mechanic, he discovered at the most recent oil change done by Carvana, the O ring was installed upside down/ oil spilling out and would have caused a future problem.

    I purchased a Subaru Forester through Carvana a little over 2 months ago. I’ve had to take the car in on 2 occasions to repair facilities already. The first time was for an oil leak - I wrote it off as a new technician not properly tightening the oil pan or screw; not a big deal. The 2nd time was for transmission issues. This is covered under my extended warranty (so far) so again, not a huge deal but irritating and inconvenient nonetheless.

    However, during my repair work on the transmission, I asked they complete a walk-through on the vehicle. They noticed the inside of my back left tire has exposed cords. I was informed the cords are exposed and without the damage on the other tires, this has been an issue for a decent amount of time indicating the car was sold to me in this condition. After contacting Carvana I was told this isn’t covered under my warranty and I’ll have to pay it out-of-pocket. My issue isn’t about the tires not being under warranty, it’s that they sold it while it was unsafe. THOROUGHLY check your car and maybe even take it in for an inspection within the first 7 days. This way you’ll be able to find any issues they decide to just let roll away off the lot.

    I'll start by describing the buying experience. Carvana was very easy to buy through, we paid cash which I think made it even more seamless. This is the second truck I have purchased from them. Again, buying and picking up was very easy and everyone was very polite. So the truck I bought had fogged up/dim headlights. Not a big deal, my son and I bought new assemblies and bulbs and put them in. What is troubling is when we removed the front grill, there was a HAMMER, down inside of it. This led me to investigate some more and it became apparent that the front end had been replaced and painted. nothing mentioned on the Carfax, and honestly now I am paranoid that I may have bought a vehicle that was wrecked, without being aware of it. Again, the buying experience was great, but I am disappointed that I wasn't made aware that the front end of this truck had been replaced for whatever reason.

    This is my 1st experience purchasing a vehicle from Carvana. Found the truck I've always wanted (Toyota Tacoma). Placed my order and was told to be available on the scheduled delivery day. 2 hours prior (on delivery day) the delivery was postponed by 3 days. The entire time I felt like I was being scammed and to my surprise on delivery day my 2018 Toyota Tacoma was delivered. Upon delivery the delivery driver driver said to take it for a test drive and to look it over. Upon arrival I noticed the front rims of the vehicle had a heavy coat of brake dust on them. I also noticed the tires were dry rotten and during the test drive the truck shook when coming to a stop (I suspect bad brakes and warped rotors).

    After I returned back home I popped the hood and was greeted by a filthy engine compartment the battery terminals were very corroded, the power steering fluid was low, and to my surprise the coolant was WAY below the "low" fill line. I proceeded to the delivery driver who had stated that he would be noting everything I found wrong and that I should be receiving a phone call once he entered in the information. He said it might take a bit of time to receive the phone call being that it was a holiday weekend (in between Christmas and new years). 2 days went by and no phone call. The 3rd day I reached out to Silver rock and was told that I had to schedule an appointment with repair shop and that none of the issues were even reported on my account! Plus on top of it I only had a 7 day return window! It could possibly take weeks to even get an appointment with a mechanic.

    My wife reached out to carvana and was told they would add an extra 48 hours on top of the 7 day return period. Smh. I'm returning this vehicle and I'm very disappointed with this experience. I work hard for the money I make and I finally get to a point in my life that I can afford my dream truck and get letdown big time. I don't ever know how this vehicle passed inspection. Now the truck sits until carvana comes and picks it up on the 11th of January. Not a great way to start off the new year. Very disappointed.

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.

    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.

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.

    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 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.

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.

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 just want my title so I can move on from this horrid experience.

She took her time with me even though it was Christmas Eve and she had several more stops after me. After a few hiccups with the exact delivery date, Danii redeemed the entire experience.

    Vehicle is leaking coolant. Didn’t know until after the seven day return policy. Air intake tube was broke sucking in dust. Bad motor mount. Rotors need to be replaced along with the brake pads. Getting a lot of wheel pulsing while applying brakes. Other than that easy process and beautiful vehicle. Will be paying my deductible unfortunately and be without a vehicle.

    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.

    I was lied to about the condition of the car. 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. Also Silver Rock allows only 60 days for the repair to be completed? Carvana offers no help!

    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).

I felt so bad for the poor guy, luckily he was beyond nice and was by far the best part of the whole experience. Unless Carvana gives me money off of the price of my car for how much more beat up it was than it had said, I will give bad reviews online, tell all friends and family not to purchase through, and use my social media platforms to advise against purchasing from Carvana.
