    I purchased a SECOND vehicle through Carvana. I got a text while I was driving to pick up my vehicle that the vehicle had electrical issues and could not be sold to me. I contacted Carvana and they said they apologize and I will have to pick another vehicle to buy. I found a vehicle and proceeded with the purchase. When I reached the Carvana location in Plainfield, I noticed right off the bat the vehicle was extremely dirty and had dog or cat hair all in it. I also noticed and notified the Carvana team member that the Auxiliary battery was showing malfunction as well as the key battery was showing that it needed to be replaced. His answer was to call Carvana and let them know. I called and didn't get any answers, so I then sent an email. I still never got an answer.

    I took the vehicle to a repair facility that is in the network with SilverRock due to the complexities of the repair they suggested I take the vehicle to the dealership. The dealership conducted their diagnostics, and the total came out to $12,000. I had to keep calling Silver Rock to get the process moved along. Silver Rock contacted Carvana to discuss what was found. Carvana then sent an inspector to inspect the vehicle at the dealership. Silver Rock and Carvana sent an email to me stating since the repair is $12,000, they suggest I exchange the vehicle and the only thing they can do for me is give me a discount of $500.00. Speaking with Carvana Executive Resolution Team, I was told my current loan will be reversed as I look yet again for ANOTHER vehicle. Now that I have found another vehicle, and I have to pay ANOTHER down payment of $2100.00.

    For the inconvenience Carvana can't do anything about it. OH, and I can't return the vehicle. I HAVE to exchange. In this whole process all I asked Carvana to do was THOROUGHLY inspect the vehicle so that I won't have to go through what I am going through again. I have also spent close to $1200.00 on the vehicle as far as deep cleaning it and getting the windows tinted and getting the paint job fixed. I have asked to speak to someone higher than the Executive resolution team however I have been denied that and told that is the highest I can go.

    I really like the car. The interior was clean and beautiful. The outside was not touched but I was given a free car wash at Mikes. There are none close by though. I checked the air and cabin air filter. They were both dirty and needed replaced. I changed them and texted the site but got told that they don't always check them. 150 point inspection and you don't check the common filters. The place I contacted said I could trade it back in but I liked the car. The delivery driver Keenan did a great job and is a credit to Carvana. Would of gave a five but the filters and follow up not great.

    Delay, delay, delay with no explanation and the advocates were outright rude. Steer clear of this company. I ordered and paid in full for the Vehicle. They then delayed over a week. Scheduled a delivery date. It came and went with no attempt at service recovery or making it right. They delayed another week without explanation. (The car was coming from 60 miles away.) Then the next delivery date guess what? Another delay...No explanation and no service recovery effort. I do not recommend. It's not worth it! Terrible company!

    Pros:

    1) Easy to shop/get preapproved
    2) The person that delivered my car was friendly and efficient.
    3) I like the car.

    4) The 7 day return window made me feel at ease about buying unseen.

    Cons:

    1) The timers are annoying and disrespectful to me as a buyer.
    2) Don't promise what you can't deliver. My car was supposed to be delivered 4 days after I bought it but 12 hours before it was supposed to arrive “an issue” came up which delayed it by 2 weeks.

    3) Don’t harass me for items needed that I tried to provide with little notice, then don’t hold yourselves to the same standards of efficiency that you expect from me in reviewing them.

    4) The interest on your loans is insane. I'm well qualified but took a loan from you at a rate that should be reserved for less qualified borrowers in the name of simplicity. I would have taken a shorter term or put money down if there was a rate incentive but the rate adjustments for doing that were so insignificant why would I? I will be Refinancing ASAP.

    5) Customer service is ineffective and the lack of transparency when you reach out to them is obscene. If I heard someone give me a fake “I'm sorry I can’t tell you that” one more time I would have come unglued with rage. I should be able to know what's going on with my car or offered solutions rather than stonewalled. It makes you look like jerks and unprofessional. If I had been told there was a recall on my car that needed to be addressed I would have been far more understanding than hearing, "We can’t tell you what's wrong but our inspection after our “thorough” inspection that we bragged about when you bought the car found an issue but we won't tell you what's wrong" which freaked me out and made me angry.

    6) Inspect the car when you do the registration. Getting a new car is fun but finding out I have to spend more time and money after I just spent a ton of time and money getting it inspected was frustrating, if you aren’t going to do the whole process at least warn me in advance so it isn't like getting socks for Christmas when I get to open my present.

    7) CLEAN THE CAR!!! Regular dealers suck but at least you get a freshly detailed car not one covered on the interior with mechanics grime and a layer of dust on everything. BAD first impression if you ever want me to buy from you again or recommend you to anyone else.

    My point is the devil is in the details, don’t forget I, as a consumer, will forget the pros but the cons are burned into my memory forever!

    I ordered a vehicle, 2024 GMC Terrain. I was asked for documentation proving my wife and I worked, had insurance and lived at our address. I sent both our check stubs. She is the head of Probation, working for our local city, has a state government seal on her check stub, how is that not sufficient documentation? I sent pictures of whatever bills we have, I did the best I could, however, this is the age of paperless billing, we didn't have much around the house.

    A company that sells cars online should not be asking for proof of residency on paper billing. I sent 9 different items with our names and address. Including my state issued identification. I put the money in the bank and the company took it, almost immediately, and I was told the vehicle was ours. We got with the insurance company and got insurance on the vehicle, I sent a copy of the insurance cards, WITH OUR NAMES AND ADDRESS, and a copy of the insurance binder with same information.

    We need a vehicle. Bad. And now. Carvana said it was our vehicle and it was coming Tuesday, 5 days from then. However, on a Saturday when our bank is closed I get a sudden email saying vaguely that the information could not be verified. With no explanation of what EXACTLY is not enough or what more I can do. Our licenses are valid except for our address because ever since covid our DMVs around us are all closed to the public except for the bigger things that need to be done. We moved in our current house 3 years ago. But we have sent more information than what was asked of us. Now, since our bank is closed the money wont be refunded until after 2pm Monday.

    WE NEED A VEHICLE and I thought Carvana was the way to go. They have zero customer service. Just an automated text response no matter what you ask it. PLEASE HAVE ACTUAL PEOPLE REACH OUT when suddenly declining them something they desperately need to continue being functioning members of society. We have one vehicle, I work out of town and we have 3 kids. We needed this. We have money but our credit is rebuilding.

    I am purchasing a 3rd car through Carvana. Every time I have had problems. I was thinking the third time was a charm. The first time my appointment was delayed a few days. Here I am again with a delay. The only thing this company does is move cars around. They do not have a sales force; they just ship cars around. This should be a core competency, to move cars around. My experience is that they fail at that 2/3s of the time. When I ask talked to the help desk all they could offer me was for me to purchase another car with no guarantee that that car would arrive on the selected date. They take no responsibility for THEIR mess up. They made no offer for any kind to apologize (other than the “sir I understand why you are upset”) for their mess up. Again, moving cars, it their job. They obviously have no interest in keeping customers.

    To top things off I am paying cash for my car. They took the money out of my account a few days ago before I took possession. When I asked why, they said they needed that to ensure I was ready for the sale. Funny thing is that they were not ready for the sale. Maybe if they spent more time making sure they had their act together rather than wondering if I had my act together, they would beat their being late 2/3s of the time in my experience. Interestingly enough they want told on to my money for over a week if I cancel my order. Then they’re mailing me a check rather than putting my money back where in my account further inconveniencing me.

    So, I unlocked my Experian credit report, was then Pre-approved by Carvana, ordered my expensive vehicle, paid the fees, uploaded my driver's license, got car insurance, then, suddenly, got an email from Carvana: "Your order will be canceled and your vehicle made available to others for purchase." Shocked, I called them! I was told to redo the entire process, even though I'd already completed every step and been charged over $3,000! I refused and requested full cancelation and my account not be charged. They agreed. This was all within 1 hour of my order. However, they still charged my account and caused many problems with my bank.

    I filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. And I had my bank reverse the fraudulent charges. Carvana admitted I never should've been charged but said it could take over 3 weeks to get a refund. The supervisor of Carvana I talked to bragged, "The site says I'm in Arizona but I'm really in Mexico City, hahaha!" They attempt to keep any delivery fees even if no vehicle was even delivered or started to be. It's fraud!

    I loved not having to deal with a sales person. I HATED the fact that I had to take 2 days off work (which isn't fair when I now have a car payment) to get my key fob working, also had to get the previous driver removed. I wasn't able to get to a dealership for a week and had to have my car unlocked that week. The previous driver should have been deleted by Carvana NOT ME, the new driver. I also shouldn't have to deal with getting a new key fob that worked. That should have been done by Carvana. Now I was short 2 whole days on my next paycheck. Also the ad said "heated seats" and the vehicle didn't have heated seats. I bought this particular car because it had heated seats. If I had known that as wasn't true and accurate I would have bought a different car at a lower price.

    The only solution I was given was a $100 check (which I doubt will even get mailed to me) or trade the car in (which wasn't an option since I would have had to take another day off work). I do like how I can remote start my car with the key fob, but that has nothing to do with Carvana. In all honesty, not sure if I'll use Carvana again. It was a real hassle to get the issues fixed. Very disappointed to say the least.

    I found the process very frustrating when it comes to engaging - it all looks good on paper BUT...first of all it is impossible to get ahold of a real person. Second, the company is very siloed so no one can really be very helpful. Third (it gets worse)...when they came to pick up my car they say a scratch - and so they would not take it. Only to reappraise it and then give me the exact same amount for it after they wasted a week of my time. Fourth, THE CHECK THEY GAVE ME DID NOT CLEAR AND NO ONE CAN TELL ME WHY.

Thier so called mechanic that serviced the vehicle spilled oil all over the engine cover and only put half the screws back in the skid plate causing it to hang down and become damaged.

    We attempted to sell my dad's truck weeks before he was moving out of the state which was a very seamless process at first. As he tried to move forward with the process he was told that even though the registration was under his name or my deceased mom's name they could not purchase it this way and he had to get her name removed from the title. Also even though the tags weren't due for a couple months those had to be renewed before they would purchase it which was annoying but not a big deal. He went to the DMV, got the tags renewed and was told the vehicle can be sold without any changes to the title. A call to back to Carvana only to learn the title was fine as is but they needed proof of the mileage. He sent them a picture of the mileage then was told the mileage they had on record was almost 300 miles higher.

    Another call to Carvana where he's told there's nothing he can do and they cannot buy his vehicle. He reached out again and another person said it's an easy fix but he will need to call back either "later today" so the system has time to update. After many days and so many calls with the same run around of either being told they can't help or to call back I finally called myself and conferenced my dad in. I was able to learn that Carvana pulls from some autocheck database and the last recorded amount was from when he had a smog inspection completed months ago. We were given options to fix that but each of the options would likely take weeks to get corrected and it was completely out of their control. The issue was that with all the wasted time we didn't have weeks left.

    In an attempt to explain our situation further, and ask for other options, the customer service rep attempted to use some fake compassion but that quickly changed when I explained that this must have been a human error situation as my dad had no way of removing a few hundred miles from the odometer. The rep began to get an attitude saying Carvana is not accusing my dad of lying and it only escalated further as I tried to explain how frustrating their corporate policy was the consumer from our experiences.

    The rep took everything I said personally even though I re-enforced my frustrations were with the company policy not this rep directly. They spent more time talking than listening and when I tried to get them to let me finish my statement I was accused of constantly interrupting them, even though they keep speaking before I could finish any of my thoughts. The call ended by them telling us that Carvana is not a fit for us and wished us a good day.

    At no point did we raise our voices or use any foul language and this experience left me speechless. After the call ended I was told by my dad that this was the same rep he had spoken with earlier in the day and he about lost it on her which is completely out of character as he's the most patient person I know. From our experience there is a serious lack of customer service training within their culture and I would not ever recommend them to anyone. I hope this review helps someone else from experiencing the headache we have gone through. We are now trying to find someone else to purchase this vehicle in 4 business days.

    The whole shopping and buying experience is amazing and easy. However when they reschedule you twice you'd expect a bit of a cleaner car from the inside. The delivery driver was awesome and punctual when he brought my car. However let's go back to the cleanliness of it. While the driver drops your car from truck you have time to look over it. So I did, and the suv I purchased has a full sun roof. Well that sun roof had been left open by someone and arrived with an embarrassing amount of stains from water damage on the top of my car in multiple spots. There are also orange rust stains in a couple spots as well. The car did not get a wipe down inside because it arrived dusty.

    The outside was clean and it had brand new tires but a few days pass and I start to clean the inside to my liking and discover tons of dog hair and stuck candy under seats in between seats and I'm just shocked because they charge allot for delivery and promise that they back their Inspections but I felt really disrespected how my inside of the car was. Also it's now been 15 days pass and my brakes are making noise so I go get them checked and they are at 5% in the front and 50% in the back and I needed new rotors as well. $900 out of pocket and I barely had the car two weeks. I called and they say that they have a legal limit to leave on the brakes for their inspection but it's obvious they didn't care.

I was impressed by the wide variety of cars available, making it easy to find exactly what I was looking for. The financing process was straightforward and efficient, with no issues or complications along the way. I’m definitely looking forward to buying from them again in the future and would highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a stress-free, transparent, and enjoyable car buying process!

    The purchase process was smooth and painless. The two humans I spoke with were friendly and knowledgeable. A year later and I'm still happy with the car (9 year old but very good condition BMW), and I would use Carvana again, but with more caution. My complaint is about the inspection and warranty, and shipping fees. Carvana said the car had passed their 150 point inspection without a problem. I paid $900 non-refundable to have the car shipped from another state. When I picked it up, the dash display warned about a non-emergency engine problem. The Carvana worker strongly advised me to have the car inspected by my own mechanic, which I did.

    It needed a new oil level sensor, but also new rear brakes and one new rear wheel bearing. The bearing arguably was not covered by the inspection or warranty, but the engine and brakes should have been flagged. I interacted with their warranty service provider and was very put off. They would only repair the car with generic parts at a Pep Boys. I chose to use a specialty BMW garage at my own expense. So I paid $2000 more than expected. If I use Carvana again, I'll be biased to only consider local cars with no shipping fee.

    Great experience, everyone was helpful. Unfortunately, there were several chips along the door, and good size scratches on top of the tailgate. These were not in the pictures on the ad. I accepted the vehicle, because I was told they would be fixed by the Silver Rock insurance company. Well they didn’t. It’s a 2024 truck with less than 8000 miles. Although I love the truck, I’ll have to get them fixed on my own. Had to learn the hard way🤨🤨. Too bad, it would have been otherwise flawless.

    This is my first purchase from Carvana but my family has in the past and never had the issues I’ve experienced. To start, the tire pressure light came on less than 2 miles of leaving the place. When I called to see what to do I was told to take it to a “Carvana preferred facility”. I took it to the closest one near me and that’s where it got worse. First of all they couldn’t run the diagnostic test because they said my car was “too new” even though it’s a 2022. They also said my car failed the emissions test and I was then referred to the dealership. The dealership which was the most help I got from anyone said the emissions test passed without any issues and the tire sensor was a simple recode issue.

    Although the car is used it’s new to me and should have never had the issues right from the start of driving the thing. Also why was a recommended from Carvana directly to a car repair shop that couldn’t even diagnose my car? This has been a horrible experience and if it wasn’t for the dealership being so helpful I would’ve returned this car. Seriously need to consider referring people to particular “Carvana preferred” shops and have a better quality check on the vehicles being purchased.

The whole experience was wonderful. The communication was top notch with updates and tracking the entire way through. The car arrived 2 hours earlier than my delivery window and as expected. I took the car to the dealer same day for a thorough inspection, and the only thing they recommended replacing was the tires. Everything else was good to go! Regarding the tires, the dealer contacted Carvana through silver rock and they agreed to replace the tires free of charge! Highly recommend for those looking for a niche vehicle and convenience.

There seemed to be issues with your team understanding that I was providing my own financing and they're messing up the verification process causing the delivery to be delayed. I had to resign the agreement again and delivery was in the evening in the dark. There was the feeling of not being trusted by your staff and an either or attitude. I never felt like a valued customer!

    I found several issues with the vehicle and in reaching out to SilverRock, while pleasant they have no service centers anywhere near me and it is up to me to find someone willing to work with them.

    Hello my name is Lorraine **. I had purchased a 2015 Ford Explorer that I picked up in your Philadelphia location. I did like the vehicle upon riding it home and locally. When I picked the vehicle up it had 37,201. I only put on a little over 100 miles with 55 driving the Explorer from your pickup hub in Philadelphia. I didn't want to put many miles until the mechanic have me the ok. While riding to work 6:30 am on Wednesday February 26 the check engine light came on (I uploaded a picture to you on Wednesday). I was already scheduled to take it to the mechanic at 12:00 on that day to do a thorough check on the vehicle. Upon him performing the diagnostic test he informed me that there were several problems with the vehicle. One being the canister and Oxygen sensors.

    As much as I liked this vehicle mainly because of the low miles I think it's best I return it back to you because I only had a few days and there were problems. Rarely can you find a 2015 with only 37,201 miles. So I anticipated that this vehicle would be reliable. I am returning this vehicle in which Carvana is scheduled to pickup today Friday 2/28. I spoke to one of your representatives Wendy on Wednesday, February 26 to schedule the pickup and I asked the question can Carvana please refund my $960 delivery fee. I understand usually this is nonrefundable as a part of your policy. But this circumstance was definitely no fault of mine. The delivery fee should be contingent upon receiving a vehicle that worked properly.

    I was also told when I picked the vehicle up in Philadelphia that all vehicles are properly inspected. I chose to do business with Carvana because you were referred and your reviews were good. I am not interested in purchasing another vehicle so I hope Carvana will do the right thing and grant me my $960 back. I was informed by Wendy that once Carvana picks up the Vehicle today to reach out to Carvana so that a request can be made for a refund of the delivery fee. Thank you in advance for your understanding and kindness for this matter.

When I tried to cancel they advised I would still have to pay the delivery fee. In no way did Carvana attempt to compensate for their delay. I understand delays happen, it happens, but before they were paid they stated the car was ready for pickup. Once they received the money "oh we have delays". It all was just to keep you on the hook. Once we went to pick up the car it took 1.5 hours to complete. The car was nice but seem like they only put 5--60% effort in cleaning the vehicle.

    I had an incredibly disappointing experience with Carvana and feel compelled to share my concerns. First, I purchased a Jeep Compass, only to discover that the front driver-side wheel was locked up and unsafe to drive. This issue was present from the moment I left the lot. I had to take the vehicle to Pep Boys, where I waited six hours for them to replace a locked-up caliper and brake line—an issue that never should have been present in a vehicle being sold as roadworthy. Hoping for a better experience, I took advantage of Carvana’s return policy and exchanged the Jeep for a 2014 Ford Focus Titanium. While it was a beautiful car, it wasn’t long before problems started. Under the 100-day limited warranty, I had to take the vehicle to a mechanic twice, paying a $100 deductible each time. Thankfully, the warranty covered the repairs, which would have otherwise cost me over $5,000.

    Now, after only 4-5 months of ownership, the transmission has completely failed, and I’ve been quoted $9,000 for parts and labor to replace it. This is completely unacceptable. I trusted Carvana to sell me a reliable vehicle, yet I’ve been met with constant issues and unexpected expenses. Transmission doesn’t just fail overnight. Meaning Carvana sold it to me knowing of the issues. I called them, and spoke to multiple people. No one had a solution or wanted to help me. If they would have made it right, I would have continued making my car payments. However, I am not going to pay for a car I can’t drive or fix. Buyers beware—Carvana’s quality control and vehicle inspections seem severely lacking. I would strongly caution anyone considering purchasing from them.

Windshield washer was frozen. They said someone had filled it with water and the car has an all wheel drive system which requires that all 4 tires match they did not match. I have had to spend an additional $2000 dollars getting car functional so that I can buy the extended warranty from Honda.

    The overall process is relatively simple, however we were given incorrect information about title process and inspection. Asked prior/during purchase process about dual title, was told it can happen, then at registration/final delivery told that wasn't possible. Reached out to confirm if vehicle would come with PA inspection and emissions, was told yes. At delivery, no inspection or emissions was done and we were told it was our responsibility.

    Biggest issue, the battery died within 24 hours.. was an original 7 year old battery and immediately failed load test. Either 1) the inspection for the vehicle wasn't thorough and this was missed or 2) it was known issue and charged to pass along to buyer to deal with. Either way, frustrating and a poor reflection of the sales prep process. Will be very hesitant to repeat a purchase through Carvana in the future due to these small gaps. The process is simple, but small things that wouldn't be the case in a dealer purchase in person are a turn off on the Carvana experience we had.

    I purchased a car from Carvana in November of 2024. Carvana verified through Plaid that I had the down payment in my account at the time of purchase. When I attempted to make the payment over the phone with the representative (on the line with me), it kept declining due to a system error. I actually ran the card so many times that it locked and flagged as fraud. Chase Bank sent me a text message asking if I had attempted to make a purchase in the amount of $1190.00. I responded yes, and Chase unlocked the card. I tried to run it again and it would not go through due to a system error. The representative told me to take the cash to the dealership when I picked up the car (the following day). That Friday, I went to pick the car up, and the young man stated that he could not take cash at the dealership. He gave me the keys to the car and the purchases was somehow completed.

    My car payment has been made on time every month since I have had the car. In February, I received a certified letter stating that I would have to surrender the car if the $1190.00 was not paid by February 12, 2025. I called Carvana and spoke with Joey. I explained to Joey that I can pay $600.00 that day and the remainder the following week. Joey stated that they are unable to take partial payments and that I would need to pay the $1190.00 in full. I then told Joey that I would be able to make the full payment the following week. Joey stated that she notated my account. On February 16, 2025, my car was repossessed. While my children and neighbors are outside (very humiliating). I explained to the tow truck driver that my payment has been on time every month. He explained to me that in his line of work, Carvana/Bridgecrest Bank are the worst to deal with and he would advise that I seek another finance company once I got the car back.

    He stated that Carvana has a tracker on my vehicle (which he showed me on his phone). The tow truck driver stated that he has to take the car back with him or he would get paid and told me to tell the finance company that I had COVID and was unable to work and was unable to make a payment (although I showed him on my account where I was never behind on a payment). He assured me that I would get the car back without having to pay any repossession fees. The next day – 02/17/2025, I called Bridgecrest and they stated that I would need to pay $20,000 to get my car back. And because I am unable to come up with $20,000, they would keep possession of the car. Once the car has gone through an “unwind” process and passes inspection, Carvana/Bridgecrest would delete the trade line from my credit report as if I never had purchased a car. This process takes 30-90 days.

    In the meantime, I have been unable to purchase another vehicle due to Bridgecrest having the tradeline on my credit report (although it has never been late). I keep getting emails about paying my car payment by 02/28/2025 or it will be reported to the credit bureau as a 30 day late payment (damaging my credit and keeping me from getting another car). A Bridgecrest representative called me today 02/25/2025 asking if I was interested in paying the $20,000 to get the car back. I stated that I am not in the position to do that at this time. I then asked him about the hit that would be on my credit report and he stated that he would send me to Customer Relations.

    Once transferred to Customer Relations, I spoke with Chris who stated that because the car was in the “unwind” process, I can make a car payment to keep it from hitting my credit report and I would be refunded that amount after 30-90 days. If I did not make a payment, it would hit my credit report as 30 days late (even though I do not have the car). Chris stated that he would speak with higher administration to see if the hit could be stopped or slowed down (whatever that mean). I then asked for a letter from them stating that I no longer have the car in my possession and that I am no longer responsible for the loan. Unfortunately, that is something that Bridgecrest can not do. I don’t know what to do right now as I have to get back and forth to work. I do not want to lose my job because they are holding me back from getting transportation. Shame on Carvana for treating people on the manner.

    While I very much appreciate the detail, amount, and accuracy of the information provided online about the vehicle I purchased, the process of collecting my vehicle missed several opportunities to make me feel truly satisfied with the experience. None of my criticisms rose anywhere near me considering canceling or returning the car. But they were annoying and very much distracted from the more positive elements of the transaction. I believe I got a fair price with a minimum of the typical dealership crap. However, my was not fully charged upon receipt. And one tire had a nail in it and was missing a valve cap.

    When I mentioned the charging issue, the support staff immediately and defensively argued that they only guarantee 50% charge. But how hard would it be to charge up someone's new car? I really was not fully sure I had enough range to get home. Also, the valve cap would be so easy to replace at the dealership. I had to go out of my way to visit an auto parts store to purchase a replacement. I can almost forgive the slow leak in the damaged tire. But when the alarm was displayed it indicated that all the tires were at the low end of acceptable. Again... super easy for a dealer to fix and a real pain for me.

    It feels like there were very easy ways to send me on my way feeling great about my new car, rather than offloading a bunch of nuisance tasks to me. And then getting a lecture from the support staff online about how you met the bare minimum required by our agreements when my purpose for calling support was merely to provide feedback on how they could've done better, not nickle-and-dime you for the issues I already resolved.

I purchased a vehicle from them, trusting their "150-point inspection", but after just 3 months of use, my CV axle broke, and the engine started leaking oil. Clearly, their inspection process is either not thorough or completely misleading. The car initially seemed fine, but these major issues should have been detected before selling it. Now, I’m stuck with costly repairs that Carvana refuses to take responsibility for. If you're considering buying from them, get a third-party inspection ASAP! Their warranty is short, and once it expires, you’re on your own. I regret buying from Carvana and would not recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable vehicle. Buy from a dealership or a private seller with a trusted mechanic instead!

    TLDR; Initially, I made a purchase in November 2024. Delivery was smooth. The issue came about registration. It didn’t began until I called in two weeks after delivery. Sadly, during the submission of the registration documents to the NJ DMV, a big error was made, which ultimately led to a title correction issue. My case was escalated to the Executive Resolutions team, after several calls and sadly, submitting a consumer complaint (I generally do not like to complain). My caseworker, Natasha, was outstanding throughout the process. I initially was offered a swap due to the error (in December 2024), but declined at that time because I absolutely loved that vehicle. However, the title correction was taking a bit longer than we liked and I was offered a swap again. This time, I accepted. I received a better deal and a better car this time around (February 2025).

    The delivery was delayed once and Britt, the courier, was amazing and made this second delivery smooth, with a snowstorm beginning. During the time by which I could not drive my vehicle legally, Carvana offered compensation twice, which was helpful for what was needed. I have my new vehicle and I absolutely love it. It does have a minor electrical issue, but surely it can be fixed (hopefully under manufacturer warranty).

    The overall feedback regarding registration is to just ensure that all documentation is valid prior to submission and done without the consumer calling to initiate the process. If there is an issue, whether minor or not, there should be a disclaimer prior to; although issues can be resolved, it still should be communicated so that it’s not left to the consumer to discover it. Lastly, although the seven-day return window is nice, it would be nice to check in and see if the customer is considering keeping the vehicle a few days in. If so, registration should then start. The seven days seemingly delays the whole process, since the consumer only has roughly 30 days on the temporary license plate.

    I was recommended Carvana from a fellow service member but I am severely disappointed in the quality of vehicle I received. I had the truck for a total of 20 minutes before issues began arising. The transmission was slipping, tire pressure service light came on, and the engine had a rough idle. For a 2018 with less than 100,000 miles on it I am shocked that there is no disclosure of known issues with vehicles. This will be my first and last purchase through Carvana.

    I recently purchased a 2018 Acura MDX using Carvana. First off, let me say I don't personally know anyone who has used Carvana but it was recommended to me from someone I know who works at a dealership. With that said, once I began looking on the site, I found it was very easy to navigate and to filter for exactly what I wanted. There is a huge selection to chose from which is nice. Once I found what I wanted, the process was quick and easy and the car was delivered within a couple of days.

    Bought a one-owner, 35k mile vehicle thinking “I’m plenty safe, the thing is practically brand new”. Boy oh boy was I wrong. For starters, the buying experience was a wild pain. From a typo in the account number to then getting deliveries pushed and pushed, I should’ve known then I was making the wrong move. One week into ownership, I’d already spent $1400 in servicing (during which I lost use of the car for 2 days) and am now on day 3 of my second stint of servicing, because the dealer says it needs a new steering column.

    I’ve now got my first payment due in 10 days and I’ve only spent just about a week being able to drive this thing. If this is representative of the overall quality of the product Carvana puts out, their doors should stay closed. You pay higher than your average dealer asking price because of the convenience factor, but what that does is automatically put you upside down on the loan-to-value ratio, so you’re stuck. I’m pretty disgusted with this entire transaction. If I never have to do business with Carvana again, it would still be too soon.

    I purchased a 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat which had been sitting available for a few months since I noticed it back on 12/2024. I waited until shipping costs became “free” to purchase in 02/2025. After submitting the purchase paperwork, I called Carvana customer service to inquire on the regimen of inspection and requirements to meet roadworthiness expectations of their vehicles. The Carvana advocate assured me all vehicles are inspected thoroughly and meet laws and expectations related to vehicle sales.

    The vehicle was delivered on 02/07/2025. Before unloading the vehicle off the Carvana delivery truck. I noticed a leak under the radiator area of the vehicle. The delivery driver assured me that it was water from the car wash. I touched and smelled it and knew immediately it was not water. I took the vehicle to my local Dodge dealership the next day and paid for a multiple-point inspection out of pocket ($174.95). The report came back with a leaking radiator needing replacement and 3 modules needing updates. On top of that, I noticed the rear speakers are blown and the slotted rotors spin in opposite directional patterns. Most slotted and cross-drilled rotors spin in the same directional pattern no matter what side of the vehicle you face.

    According to Carvana, all recalls were satisfactory and closed. Dodge states all three were never actioned properly. One module related to security systems of the vehicle, results in key fobs will no longer be able to be programmed to the vehicle once the update occurs. The dealership highly encourages obtaining extra key fobs for this reason which I was happy to pay for out of pocket ($503.27).

    The total amount of repairs and replacements equated to ($2,703.05 excluding the key fob) which brings up my next experience with Carvana’s warranty partners, Silver Rock Warranties. Silver Rock assesses a deductible of $100 if you use an “in-network” mechanic shop and $350 for “out-of-network”. Silver Rock’s in-network options in El Paso, TX are absolute garbage with the reputation to affirm, which shall remain nameless. I selected my local Dodge dealership which falls out-of-network, for these same reasons and Carvana nor Silver Rock would waive the $350 deductible.

    Again, the vehicle already had a leak prior to coming off the delivery truck and I would be expected to pay $350 to start getting covered warranty work for the vehicle. After escalating with both Carvana and Silver Rock, Silver Rock conceded to waiving the deductible. Even a supervisor with Carvana stated on a recorded call that it Carvana should not have sold the vehicle in its condition.

    After warranty approval, I had to request multiple extensions on the 7-day money back guarantee as the situation was beyond my control and solely caused by Carvana’s negligence in bad-faith business dealings. Carvana would only extend the 7-day money back guarantee through 02/21/2025 (a maximum of 14 business days) yet the vehicle’s ETA of repair completion is 02/26/2025. Even on this timeline, I would never receive the benefit and comfort of a true 7-day money back guarantee driving experience. As a result, I am returning the vehicle 02/19/2025. Leadership failed to extend the 7-day money back guarantee to truly let me gauge the vehicle’s worthiness.

    To all buyers, beware as Carvana is rigid with “their policies” and fall short of “We’ll drive you happy.” I explicitly expressed desire in an exception to their 7-day money back guarantee policies as I want to keep this vehicle but needed some assurances. Carvana failed to meet laws and expectations in good-faith business practices and sold me a vehicle not suitable to road-use.

    To boot, the last Carvana leader I spoke with offered an alternate option to select another vehicle. One option I selected, cost a little more than the first vehicle. I asked that they match the price in lieu of my experience and Carvana declined. They offered another option that costs less however they would not waive the delivery fee. Carvana could merely offer a reduction of $500 in the shipping fee. While selling me an unroadworthy vehicle, acknowledging their shortcomings, Carvana still looks for a way to hide behind their policies and take more money from me.

    Communication with the delivery driver was good. The driver alerted me one half hour before the delivery window expired that they would arrive 15 minutes after the delivery window. Upon receiving the vehicle, it was very evident that it had been smoked in. Looking under the hood, the coolant was low. During the first drive in the rain I turned on the defrost which caused windows to fog up. This is a classic symptom of a leaking heater core. I was told that as it was within the 7-day return period, there would be no deductible in having their warranty company pay for the repair.

    The catch is, you can only use one of their "authorized repair facilities." These facilities, in my area, are all Firestone car care centers, Pep Boys, and Monro service centers. I'd have no problem bringing the truck to one of these businesses for tires, brakes, or suspension, but I'm not about to have them dissect the entire dashboard to replace a heater core and trust that the whole assembly won't rattle like a maraca afterwards. If I ran this operation, I would pay to have the vehicle diagnosed at the dealer nearest the purchaser, and credit the customer's loan with the book time cost of the repair.

Concerns: first, my car was 5 days late. There was weather issues, yet no storms at the time. They apologized and said I’d be compensated for that. Then, when my cat arrived (a Tesla), it was only charged to 13% (it should never be below 20%) and it was covered in soap from a crappy wash. Certainly not the way a car should be delivered.

    I made it to a charger with 1%. Then, once I drove it, immediately it told me a tire was bad and needed service. This is the main reason I called the manager Frank back, as I believe they should cover that service, as that was not disclosed to me and I should not have to pay for that repair.

    The purchase and delivery went well. After we took possession of the car, we realized it does not have Apple or android audio CarPlay. This was a big selling point for us. We needed a car with this because we spend a lot of time in our car and our previous car had it. The description said it had it, but it definitely does not. I called and talked with customer service about this and she offered me $100. That’s all she could do. I told her we called a dealership and it’s going to be at least $350 to purchase the correct radio and 175 to have this radio programmed with it. Not all radios can be programmed for it, it has to be a certain radio, and that will have to be purchased. I told her we were gonna be out close to $500 to have this feature put on the car and all she could do was offer me $100. I don’t want the money I just want her to offer to have it installed for us or give us enough to cover it at the dealership.

    Also, there are two tiny chips in the windshield that you definitely would not have seen until you drove the car and we’re sitting in the driver seat and the sun hit it just right. She said too bad about the chips. I should’ve noticed it when the driver dropped it off. He dropped it off and left. There’s no way we could’ve driven it around and seen these chips. Now I have to pay for a radio and to have two chips repaired on a car. I just purchased, definitely not very satisfied.

    Buying process is easy and has become my preferred method, 2nd car we have purchased from Carvana. The odd part is both times the cars were dirty, was surprised more time is not taken to clean the vehicles and do basic fluid top off (washer, coolant, etc). Overall it beats the dealership haggling but please take a little more effort cleaning the vehicles before pick up. Weird spending $35k+ on an almost new vehicle that is filthy.

    Overall the car, Kia Stinger GTS, is really nice but there was obviously no pre-purchase inspection performed by Carvana as advertised. The cabin filter had a bird's nest in it and it was disgusting. The coolant level was so low that the car's fans had to run after turning off the engine just to cool the engine down and the oil was filled so high that it was way over the full mark on the dipstick. Also, I couldn't get the oil filter off because Carvana's tech tightened it on way too tight. The drain plug was also screwed on way too tight.

    Carvana was excellent. I bought a 2018 f150 and I noticed transmission issues right away. I looked it up Online and ford has a class action against them for these transmissions so I didn’t even want to Get warranty work done and get another busted one. So I called Carvana and told them and they let me pick out a Dodge Ram and swap the Ford with no issues at all. I was surprised, their 7 day guarantee is absolutely legit. The only thing that sucks is I paid $1200 to get that f150 sent to Texas from wherever it was and it’s non refundable, so I did get screwed on that end. But they kept their word with the 7 day and I figured it would be a huge hassle.

    I finally decided it was time to buy one of my attainable dream cars; a Jaguar F-Type. I decided to go with Carvana due to the ease of buying the car online, something I have never had experience with in the past. It was, indeed, extremely easy. You guys gave me a fair offer for my trade and offered plenty of options for Jaguar F-types to purchase. I found (what I thought) was the perfect Jag. In the days leading up to the purchase appointment day, I lose many hours of sleep in excitement and looking at YOUTUBE videos of the F-Type.

    Unfortunately, upon picking up the car on 1/17/2025 is when the excitement, ease and anticipation, stopped. The advocate at the Atlanta location was very disorganized, not very friendly and seemed to rush me as I was looking over the car. The car was far from what was described and was not what I expected. There were several undisclosed cosmetic issues with the vehicle including poor paint repairs, dents, scratches and bird poop stains in the hood. Not to mention, the interior has several sticky dash and door panel pieces of which is pretty common on the F-Type but it just was not disclosed.

    A few days later, I brought the car to my local Jaguar dealer to have them look over the car and lone and behold, they found numerous issues with the vehicle mechanically that needed attention including oil leaks, coolant leaks, rear brakes and an alternator(due to oil leaking onto it). Now, I know Silverrock (Carvana's warranty company) would have covered these items but I also still had all of these cosmetic issues to deal with. It was at that point that Carvana reached out to me and offered to take the car back and take $500 off of a replacement car. This is when my Carvana experience started to turn around again.

    The gentleman assigned to my special case of exchanging the vehicle was beyond helpful and courteous. He worked around my schedule and got the 1st F-type picked up and helped me acquire a new f-type that was two years newer but hopefully in much, much better shape. Fast forward a few days later on 2/3/2025, I traveled to Atlanta to pick up the second F-type. My goodness, the experience could not be any further from the first. The advocate that I dealt with was friendly, empathetic about my situation, valued my business and respected my time. He apologized profusely about my first experience and assured me that it would not happen again. I put in the coin in the Carvana vending machine to lower and ultimately see my second dream car, hoping it would not become another nightmare. THANK GOD!!! The dream stayed a dream!

    This car was near perfect and quite frankly, better than described. The paint was well taken care of, the disclosed imperfections were blown out of proportion and the car was just awesome! Not to mention, the car came with an owner's manual which the first car did not come with. I was absolutely ecstatic and over the moon. It was such a surreal feeling considering the fact that a couple of weeks earlier, in the same building, I felt feelings of disappointment and disgust. The advocate could tell how excited I was about the Jag and he seemed genuinely happy for me. Ten days later, I still grin ear to ear every time I drive the car or see it parked in my driveway! Thank you Carvana for making me a believer and an owner of my dream car!

    I purchased a 2022 Ford Mustang Mach-E and paid the non-refundable fee of $690 to have it shipped to my closest vending machine. The purchase went smoothly, except the car was only 58% charged and wouldn’t be able to get me the 100 miles home. Little did I know that it really wouldn’t have got me that far on the freeway. I plugged in to the charger on site and after 30 min it was clear that this was going to take forever. The salesman pointed me to the nearest fast charger and I headed over there. It was in use, so I then had to find another and finally after an hour there I had enough charge to get home.

    It’s a fun vehicle to drive and I loved all the features and the zippy acceleration, however, after a full charge the car claims it can take you 215 miles, but after an 80 mile drive home, the battery was more than half drained. I plugged in to a regular plug at my home and the car said that it would be fully charged in a day and a half… This wasn’t going to work for me, so I returned the vehicle. The return process went well, except I continued getting emails saying the registration was processing and the purchase had gone through, even though I had cancelled the purchase and the pick up was scheduled.

    I was a bit leery about buying a car online and I spent a great deal of time researching and reading reviews of Carvana. I finally did the preapproval process in early December (2024) I was pleasantly surprised with the interest rate offered to me despite my less than stellar credit. It was significantly lower than what several dealerships had offered me. I spent the next two weeks browsing Carvana. I should note I knew due to my credit, budget and money to put down my best bet would be an older car.

    I found a 2011 Mazda3 4-door Hatchback with just over $84,000 miles on it and a very extensive Carfax report which showed very regular oil changes and other maintenance. The cars I was finding at local dealerships were 4-8 years older, had double the miles and were priced $3000-$5000 higher than the similar makes and models on Carvana. I took the plunge on December 17th. The purchase process from start to finish took under thirty minutes. I was never asked for paystubs or any other proof of income which I found somewhat odd. I put enough money down to keep my monthly payments under $300. I also chose to go through Root Insurance because they came back with a monthly rate that was $150 less than the one my existing insurance company (Progressive) had offered me. So that was a no brainer.

    I was asked for a picture of the front and back of my driver's license and proof of insurance, which I uploaded that same day. Within minutes of completing everything online I received an email stating that my order had been approved. Delivery was scheduled for December 21st but a multistate snowstorm delayed delivery until December 26th. I was disappointed but I could hardly blame Carvana for the weather and I knew the car was coming from Montana to Pennsylvania. I will say it took two online chats, three representatives on the phone and finally a call with a supervisor to get the reason for the delay. I had read some reviews where people stated they found out after the fact that a delay had been due to damage occurring to the vehicle in transit or mechanical issues not discovered previously. I wanted assurances that that was not the case.

    Thursday, December 26th finally arrived and I was like a little kid at Christmas! My delivery window was 11am-2pm. I received a text notification that my car was out for delivery at 11 on the dot and then my driver called a minute later to let me know that according to his GPS his ETA was 12:15. He pulled up in front of my place at 12:14. I saw the truck from my window and went racing out the front door with no shoes and no coat, despite the fact that it was 28 degrees outside. My brother, a former mechanic (at a Mazda dealership ironically) was here to look the car over as well and came chasing after me with my shoes and a sweater hollering that I was I going to catch pneumonia. I ignored him and hopped around excitedly while the driver unloaded my car.

    My brother and I both looked it over thoroughly and I took it for a short test drive. I fell in love instantly. When I say this car was PRISTINE inside and out I am not exaggerating! It was immaculate! I couldn't even find the two imperfections that had been listed as light scratches in the ad. It even smelled clean. It looked as if it had been washed and waxed that very morning. To say I was over the moon is an understatement.

    The driver went over the registration process, what to do if I were to want to return the car, had me sign the tablet and we were done. I took the car to the mechanic the following morning as there's a local shop that is open on Sundays so I was able to do it right away. The car passed with flying colors! Brakes were as close to new as you can get, as were the tires, no mechanical or other issues found. The mechanic (who has worked on previous cars I've owned) said it was clear that the car was very well taken care of and had had regular upkeep and maintenance done (which was also apparent in the Carfax and played a large part in my choice). I left the mechanic's shop on CLOUD NINE!!!

    The delivery driver had stated that it would take thirty to forty-five days to receive my state registration and plate. ELEVEN days later I received an email notification that my registration was complete and would arrive along with my plate within 5-7 business days. Nope. Just TWO days later I had my registration and plate in my hands.

    The entire experience from beginning to end was easy, painless and PHENOMENAL! I will NEVER, ever buy a car through a dealership again. Carvana is far superior to any dealership I have ever dealt with and THE best part???? Aside from an AMAZING new (to me) car that I love.... No pushy, overbearing, obnoxious salesperson talking to me like I'm twelve because I happen to be a woman.

We purchased the 2018 Volkswagen Atlas, the carfax was provided with details on the car including minor dent and scratch from the moment we chose it and began the process. It was quick smooth and painless. It made buying a car fun vs stressful! After my down payment part was completed I had a few questions about it all so I reached out to Carvana customer service and the response time was the fastest I have ever received and they were so patient and kind and answered all of my questions thoroughly!

    The vehicle was delayed by a 1 day delivery date which was disappointing at first but it worked out better because of our work schedules. The delivery driver Kelly called me first thing in the morning to offer earlier drop-off time. She was patient and kind when delivering the car and answering additional questions and it was a wonderful experience. Now my family is driving around in a super safe super luxurious feeling vehicle and we are thrilled!

    There are 2 aspects of the vehicle I’m not too thrilled about. 1 is the auto engine turn-off when at a stop sign or such you are able to turn this off however it doesn’t stay off per profile so if you just jump in and go and forget to hit the button it will turn off each time and it’s annoying but not horrible and the 2nd is the GPS is not the most accurate, like it needs updated somehow due to roads being closed etc. My recommendation is double check the route or map on a different device for accuracy first. But I will definitely be coming to them when it’s time to look for teen cars!!!

    Overall, the experience was pretty good.

    * My purchase was through Carvana mostly because they offered more than local dealerships.

    * I got my own financing because I could get a better rate through my credit union, but their offer was probably good if you just want the convenience of getting it all done together with the purchase.

    * They claim to go through an extensive inspection on their cars, but what they don't tell you is that they don't fix a lot of the issues.

    * I used the warranty that came with the purchase because the valve cover gaskets were leaking oil, rear strut boots were torn, and a window regulator was not allowing for the window to close all the way. It was a pleasant surprise when SilverRock (warranty) agreed to cover it all.

    * Their in-network shops for warranty are mostly tires shops, but I did find a good repair facility for my initial inspection (within the first 7 days to decide if I wanted to return the car). They filed a claim and to my surprise, SilverRock agreed to pay an actual dealership to perform the repairs when the in-network shop suggested that I take it there. There was also a cracked third tail light that was not covered, so I found a used part to replace it.

    * There's a lot of paperwork and electronic signatures required, especially if trading in, so I had to check multiple times a day and contact customer service towards the end to make sure everything was done. Unfortunately, some of the approvals were not finished by the Friday before Monday delivery, so I ended up receiving my car on Tuesday which is not a big deal to me.

    * Overall, everyone I worked with was friendly and we got the deal done. Now just waiting for my repairs to be finished, it's been at the shop for 2 weeks... but the dealership gave a loaner so I'm not in a hurry.

Much less stressful and time consuming than purchasing through a car dealership. The initial purchase process took about 20 minutes and pick up the vehicle took and another 15 minute. I have NEVER purchased a vehicle from a dealership in under 4 hours and had someone try to upsell me on everything and not listen to my wants and needs as they pushed for the highest commission possible. For that reason I will use Carvana again.

    The only knock on Carvana was that there was an issue with one of the license plate screws being stuck. Instead of telling me to contact their warranty insurance company, Carvana should have scheduled the service and had their warranty company contact me. Getting that minor issue resolved has taken over one week so far and it's still ongoing. That is the only reason I did not give this a 5-star review.

    The initial process is simple, and the vehicle is exactly as portrayed on the website. What they don't tell you is that you have no control over the payment process after that point, especially if you have a third party lender. If you intend to put down a down payment beyond what is necessary to cover the difference between the vehicle cost and your maximum loan amount, you have to know up front before you enter any loan information and subtract your intended down payment from your listed loan amount. They don't ask about a down payment and don't offer any option to adjust your loan amount to account for your down payment. They also don't inform you up front about all of the additional information they require, and give you a limited time frame to provide it or risk having your purchase canceled or your pickup date changed.

    If you include a trade in and have any damages or issues you don't disclose for any reason including not being aware of them, your trade in and purchase are canceled when you're picking up your vehicle! There is no way to even adjust your trade in amount. Finally, they only accept payment from third party lenders via paper check in person or mailed directly to their corporate office or via wire transfer. Very few lenders transfer money via wire transfer any more. If a check is mailed, photos of the check and the tracking information have to be uploaded well in advance of your scheduled pickup. I will never do business with Carvana again, and will tell everyone I can to not do business with them.

    The purchase process was super easy. I applied for financing and completed the purchase in 15-20 minutes. It was so much better than any dealership experience I've ever had. On delivery day, the driver arrived at the early stage of the delivery window, and was friendly and professional. I have no complaints about the purchase or delivery processes.

    I do have some complaints about the vehicle's condition, though. First, the description clearly stated it has a sunroof. It does not. Carvana offered a modest refund for that oversight. Second, the maintenance completed was simply an oil change, as near as I can tell. The engine and cabin air filters were dirtier than a lumberjack's doormat. The odor in the cabin was pretty foul.

    Third, the blower motor for the cabin air fan mattress a high pitched, clearly audible noise when running. The delivery driver commented on it, but seemed to think it was normal. My trusted mechanic disagrees, it needs to be replaced to the tune of $500. I contacted Silver Rock about it. There's no authorized service facility within 60 miles. So, I'm stuck either taking a day off work to desk with this, or paying a $350 deductible to have my local mechanic fix it. I'm decidedly less than pleased about that. In short, I love the purchase experience, mostly love the car, and don't feel great about the Silver Rock warranty. Carvana would do well to ensure vehicles are properly serviced before delivery. I nearly returned my vehicle, but in the end, I decided I could live with the issues because I really do love the car.

    It was really easy for me to find a car that fit my specifications, including the body type, mileage, and price. I went in person to pick it up and compare the photos with the actual vehicle. The photos were accurate and there’s a 7 day return policy, which really made me feel better about my purchase. The staff member who assisted me, Janae’ F., explained all the forms and payment options. She made sure that I had a complete understanding of everything and was able to access all of the information about my purchase on my own.

    They lost the key to my vehicle with delayed delivery. They then couldn't reprogram the key in time which delayed delivery. After hours of calls and text chats, I was told the delivery would be the next afternoon. Then the vehicle missed transit and delivery was delayed several more days.

    2nd purchase from Carvana, went of just as easily as the 1st. No problems whatsoever. Will purchase our next one also from carvana. The financing was easy as well. Whole sale completed in about 1 hour. There is no referral incentive, but I would still recommend them to anyone that asks.

    So I will start from the beginning. They missed my delivery date twice. Vehicle rims were missing paint, dents and scratches all over Vehicle, holes in bumper, engine oil leak, transmission shudder, just horrible. But thanks to Silver Rock they are taking care of me. Silver rock is Carvana's insurance company. They are great.

    My biggest complaint with my purchase is that nowhere was it disclosed how much cosmetic damage there was to my vehicle. There are way more scratches than the single one disclosed. It looks like someone side swiped something on the drivers side with the vehicle. There are numerous paint chips all over the car. There is damage to the drivers side taillight. The entire windshield is so pitted that it is very difficult to see when the sun is shining...which is ALL THE TIME living in New Mexico. It will need to be replaced. The car was also not very clean upon arrival- there are chips and other food crumbs in between the seats and there was a bad odor in the car. If not for this the experience would have been satisfactory. Considering how much I paid for this vehicle, I expected it to be clean and not damaged.

    The gentlemen that delivered my car were very polite and kind. The entire delivery went smoothly. Unfortunately there was a couple things that could have been better. There was absolutely zero windshield wiper fluid in the car upon arrival (which was terrible in Ohio in January). Also, the oil life was only 35%, an oil change before delivery would have been a nice touch. Also the inside of the car was slightly dirty and could have used a quick detailing before delivery. Overall happy but for $35k would expect a little better presentation.

    The experience of buying the 2021 Mazda 3 was great and the representative at the Frisco location was very friendly and efficient. BUT, the car was dirty on the outside and had TWO lights on - one for a front right running light that was out and one for a malfunctioning tire sensor. We were given a card to take the car for repairs. Q1: Why weren't these two issues fix prior to us picking up the vehicle? Q2: Why do we have to pay a $100 deductible for the repair of these two pre-existing issues? Q: Why wasn't the vehicle wash prior to us picking it up?
