    This was one of the best car buying experiences of my life. I just found what fit me. Told them I wanted to buy it and two days later was able to collect my vehicle. There was no haggle, Hassle or headache. I'd recommend to anyone wanting to buy a car.

    When I was looking to purchase another car and came across Carvana, I was skeptical. I first did an application but my credit was locked and I waited to come back to it in a week. So I finally completed the application, was screened to see what I would qualify for. My credit is decent and I also have another company that I am on with my BF for his car. I was intrigued by how quick the process was. I never spoke to a person about anything except when they would deliver my car. I thought I was being punked because I figured they wouldn't actually give the car.

    I had been denied from another company 2 weeks prior. That was the only reason why I thought that. It was so smooth basically unbelievable. I would suggest everyone try this process. No waiting in car dealerships for 5 to 6 hours again. The amount the payments is right in front of you. You clearly knows all the amounts before you even choose to go with that car. You have 7 days to decide if you want to keep the car or exchange it. I would definitely buy from them again. Thanks Carvana.

    Carvana has great cars for sure. But what truly sets them apart from car dealerships is the Transaction. Buying a car from Carvana was a truly new experience for me. I never realized how much angst was involved just in the paperwork. Carvana did not hide an extended maintenance agreement contract and fees but gave me a checkbox to select it or not. They did not lie by omission. Trusted in me about my trade-in information. AND delivered on all the promises. Awestruck. Dumb-founded. Thank you Carvana for your ethics, honesty and commitment to the buyer. Carvana doesn't sell cars, people buy cars from Carvana. That is their focus; not on their selling but our buying.

They picked up my trade at the same time and actually gave me more on trade than the two local dealerships I had visited earlier. Great process and great experience.

After years of repeated purchases through lengthy visits to various car dealership and enduring aggressive salesmanship on their lots, it's a relief to experience a hassle-free digital purchase and secure purchase flow on my own terms, and from the comfort of my living room.

    I bought a Jeep Renegade from Carvana and 3 months later my Key Fob would no longer work so when I called to see about getting a replacement they pushed me off to SilverRock who subsequently told me I didn't have an extended warranty. I went to a Jeep dealership to see about getting a replacement and was told the Fob I was given didn't actually belong to that car make and it would cost me $220 for the correct replacement. Carvana washed their hands of any help and basically said I had 7 days to return the car which is ridiculous because who would think to check and see if the Key Fob I was given wasn't the right one since it worked initially. They have the worst customer service and no one to talk with, only text or chats.

Was told it was in Albany, was told they didn’t know where vehicle was, basically story after story. Mind you, this vehicle was already registered in my name and insured and no one knew where it was.

    Love the Vehicle. However, my Carvana experience was less than ideal. The car was dirty. The undercarriage was filthy as if someone had gone off roading with it and there was an additional 23 miles on the car’s odometer. Looks like the sidewall tires may have been damaged during shipping. This was the first time purchasing a vehicle from Carvana. It could’ve gone better. Your associate was pleasant.

    I originally ordered a 2018 Toyota camry from Carvana. The car came and was clearly not Maryland inspected. There was an open recall on the vehicle, there was a seat belt sensor that was out, and the car was filthy. I returned the car and ordered another to replace it. The car was delivery delayed twice and when the car came there was fresh body paint on the back window. I assume that the delay in delivery was due to the car being damaged in transport since there are scratches and dings that were not present when I viewed the car online, but carvana never told me what the delay was about.

    The new car showed up, it was dirty on the inside and the front brakes need to be replaced. I am going to have to spend my own time and money to get the car inspected since I can't trust that something hasn't been disclosed. I like the car and I'm only keeping it so that I don't have to go through the whole process of swapping it out for a new one with my insurance company, etc. I can only hope that the financing part of the deal isn't as bad as the vehicles seem to be.

    I purchased a 2018 Toyota Tacoma. It was graded a '95' on its condition according to the online Carvana information. It supposedly was inspected. However, for peace of mind, I took it to my mechanic for a PPI. They discovered all sorts of issues, including a broken and leaking water pump (half of the antifreeze had leaked out), bad brakes (front and rear) tires that need replacement, a worn out drive belt, old spark plugs, and so forth. I called Carvana and they told me I had to work with the insurance carrier, Silver Rock. I paid $2602.53 for repairs (not including tires) yesterday, of which Silver Rock is covering only $585. They said that a part had to 'FAIL' in order to cover the repair. What do they want - for the drive belt to snap while driving the vehicle? For the engine to overheat and fail while being driven?

    To say I am unhappy is an understatement. I believe that there was NO inspection and whomever Carvana hired to inspect the vehicle simply tried to cover up any faults in the vehicle (the mechanic mentioned that it looked like the undercarriage of the vehicle had been cleaned and even painted in areas.) I'll never buy from Carvana again. (The Carvana reps I've met or spoken with have been nice - but the insurance company is a crock - shady at best. If Carvana wants to keep any business they need to find a different warranty/extended care insurance partner.)

    Drove to the Wyoming MI location to finish a transaction and trade in my car on 11/11. When I took my possession of my new EV, it only was charged to 21 miles of range. I had a 45 mile trip home. They were apologetic but offered no real resolution. The “Carvana Guarantee” is that cars would be charged to at least 50%. The car itself is great. The process is frustrating and this problem ruined my day, as I had to find a nearby charging station and charge for two hours (spending out of pocket money) just to get home. Would not recommend Carvana. Would be happy to revise my review but their “advocates” seem to care very little about my significant inconvenience.

    The worst, most frustrating, drawn out messed up experience you can imagine. I've repeatedly had to reschedule delivery because of their screw ups or utter failure to communicate. You will never talk to the same person twice, assuming you even reach a person. They had the wrong address on the buyer's order that they gave my lender so the check didn't go to the right place. Because of this dragging out, the offer on my trade-in has expired twice. When I refresh it, the amount was always different (lower typically). They only give you 48 hours from the time you place your order to get them everything they need although they are never clear about what that is. I am beginning to believe that they are not actually in possession of the car I'm trying to buy and these are all stalling tactics. Will NEVER put myself through this again.

    In the 1st 24 hours the check engine came on. The 2nd cyclinder was misfiring. I replaced the spark plugs. Then I drove out of town for a family emergency, which I topped off the coolant. On my drive back, the engine began to overheat. I made it to the nearest gas station to fill the coolant up. After burping the coolant reservoir, it looked like there was enough coolant. My concern is the coolant is leaking into engine. The warranty company doesn't have a person that eventually answers. The automated system just reroutes to the same information.

    I have never in my life had such a bad experience purchasing a car. Your staff are uneducated, rude, give inaccurate information and do not ask pertinent questions. First of all, I tried to finance through Carvana with a credit score of 796 and was offered a 22% interest rate! When I call your rude employee to ask why my interest rate was so high she just kept respecting a script and would not let us speak to someone above her. This created so much hassle….you had to cancel my order, I had to secure financing, which I did through my bank with a 5.99% interest rate!! I had to keep freezing and unfreezing my credit reports because I keep them frozen at all times now. And that is what the problem was with the 22% offer from Carvana.

    Apparently I had been sent multiple emails stating Carvana was trying to access my Equifax but were denied because it was still frozen. If your rude employee had let us speak with someone that could have easily been corrected and we could have pressed on. I don’t have enough time to put into words all the issues I had issues with Carvana during this purchase. What I will tell you is that your staff are not properly trained on the entire purchasing process but also understanding the forms that lenders want/need. Next time, I’ll use Car Gurus.

    We are for the most part satisfied. The issue we had was as follows. We were scheduled to pick up the vehicle on the 28th of October. We went to the appointment to get the car and the gentleman told us the car was not there. He showed us the email between him and another person where he submitted a ticket to notify us, but no one did. We drove all the way there for no reason. No one could tell us what happened or where the vehicle was. I was on The phone with several people that night and the following day. Still no real answers just apologies. We rescheduled the appointment for the 2nd and was told for our troubles we would be given some gift cards or gas cards for the mistake.

    On the day of picking up the car I mentioned this to the gentleman handling our process and he completely ignored me and rushed us out. I love the ease of buying from Carvana and the warranty, plus the 7 day return but the people I dealt with were very unprofessional and not understanding at all.

    I purchased my first car from Carvana a few days ago. Also I knew what I wanted and had no interest in the typical dealership experience. I signed a couple of pieces of paper in person, but completed everything online in 15 minutes. I was at the Carvana location approximately 30 minutes and got to test drive the car before leaving. I purchased a 2023 BMW with very low mileage and a factory warranty in place. I recommend declining Carvana warranty and purchasing an extended warranty from a BMW dealer - this is what I’ve always done and you’ll thank me later. The car looks new aside from a couple of minor scratches in the clear coat. Overall the car is in excellent condition and I’m happy with the purchase.

    Also I’d like to mention the car was competitively priced and lower than what I would have paid at a BMW dealer. Also, I traded in my 2016 BMW and received 18k for my trade which was great. Lastly, the 7 day warranty is in place for your protection, so I’d suggest getting your car inspected within that timeframe for peace of mind. Also, I’d like to add that I called BMW North America to validate several details of the car and everything checked out by matching Carvana’s information.

About an hour after the SUV was delivered, we saw several imperfections not listed on the profile detail page for this SUV. Moreover, several features they list on that page were either nonexistent, or unavailable because the vehicle came with only 1 key (which we knew about). The remote start was listed as a feature for this vehicle, but when programming the infotainment states both keys must be present to program. We started the first of many calls within a few hours.

    Within the first few calls we were promised a $200 credit for a key fob and were told 2-weeks after our return timeline had passed we'd be sent a $200 check, which was fine. However, we would find out later it needed to go through their approval process and would ultimately be denied (zero follow up to let us know). We called back about our other issues many times within our window and would continue to experience a roller coaster of some decent calls mixed with many bad. Most of Carvana's customer service reps simply lack any kind of people skills, and several times we'd have calls dropped on us where nobody ever called back even though they'd take down our phone numbers during the call.

    They have no follow through, and it is completely up to the buyer to initiate everything/anything if something is wrong. Although, Carvana would ultimately approve fixing one of the imperfections (via 3rd party), it was a struggle to get even that. Overall, this experience with Carvana was not worth the perceived convenience of purchasing online, because if you have an issue and call them for assistance it's going to be an uphill fight.

    Car arrived dirty and sticky on the inside hadn’t been cleaned or detailed at all. The top of the car had been scraped and there was a large ding on the hood that the car care refused to cover. Inside had white tacky substance that they also wouldn’t clean. Not what you would expect from a dealer. Price was good for the car we wanted, person who dropped the car was nice and apologized but Carvana did nothing about the issues whatsoever. We could reject or return the car. None of the issues listed were in the description of the car imperfections. Even though it’s less of a hassle you’re probably better off going to a dealer to where they’ll at least clean the car before you pick it up. Bought this car for our daughter and my husband had to clean the whole thing. We still can’t get whatever white substance is in the door off. Pretty disappointed in our first purchase through them.

    Most of everything was seamless - the part that almost made me cancel the whole thing, was the part where I had to jump through hoops to try and get my cashier's check verified. I was unaware of this policy - had I known that it was going to be such a hassle, I would never have done it that way. If I had known, I would have taken care of it while I was in the bank, but instead, I got a text on a Friday night when I was supposed to pick the car up on Monday, so I had to do all this extra work over the weekend.

    THEN, after we made the call with your rep and my bank, that STILL was not enough information and they had to call back to get the info that they already were given, and info that is clearly printed on the check. EXTREMELY frustrating. And THEN, because it went 10- min over the 24-hour window, my apt kept getting pushed back. This was terrible, and like I said, I almost cancelled the whole deal over it.

    They had covered up evidence of dry rotting tires with a nice application of tire black. Wouldn’t have known about it if the car warning system hadn’t issued a warning of 3 tires at one time. My tire company said I shouldn’t drive the car at highway speed. After a full day of texts between me and their AI “consumer advocates”, I moved on to their warranty people ‘Sliver Rock” to no avail. Finally had to shell out another $920 for tires. Won’t darken their doors ever again. Had a much better experience at Carmax a few years earlier!

    2. Inspection report only listed 2 imperfections, minor scratches. Well the inspector must have been blind. Numerous scratches and chips particularly on the rear bumper sill.
    3. The windshield has a chip spidering out. Something else I am going to have to spend money on.

    I was originally scheduled to pick up the vehicle on October 19th but upon arrival after filling out all paperwork I was informed that the vehicle was delivered to the wrong location. The young ladies made the experience bearable, however I had to Uber back home. When returning the next Saturday, the representative that worked with me treated me as if the young ladies the weekend before got the commission on the sale or something. He looked at me and ask for my last name, asked if I brought my license and insurance back, handed me the tablet to sign and told me, "The machine is broken. They will bring your car around in a little while."

    He handed me the paperwork for the car and went to the next person waiting. He never spoke or greeted me. He didn't hand me my keys; the other worker brought them to me. He actually greeted the next person, walked them out to their vehicle, asked them if they had any questions and if everything was okay with the vehicle. He really treated me like "business as usual". He was very dry and separated from me as far as customer service is concerned.

    I was buying a car with Carvana. Everything seemed smooth at first. Although, the description states that only 3 bank statements required, it takes up to 6 bank statements (from the same bank account) before I can proceed. After a tedious procedure, every paperwork submitted, Carvana through its payment system/partner withdrew the down payment/first payment from my bank account. After that, Carvana sent another notification that some 'task' is needed before finalizing the purchase, I did that. Anyway, Carvana, the next day, claimed that I expired the 'task' and my purchase was cancelled. I was kind of annoyed with all of the steps and now cancelled, but still can live with it, until knowing that my down payment/first payment will be held for another 10-15 days.

    Carvana might be seemed as a safe way to purchase a car and not getting a lemon, but reading some reviews about Carvana is not much different than a regular dealer and Carvana's vehicles are much way more pricey with APR 5% higher than any other lenders. What's the benefit to purchase from Carvana?

    Did simple google search to see if I should be contacting a attorney at this point In time, and it seems I should. I bought a 2014 Mercedes Benz G550 G63 from Carvana on 9/21/2024 for $73,000. 2 days after it was dropped off in my driveway the check engine light came on, and it has been to a mechanic 4 times in the last month, and this most recent trip to the mechanic since I dropped the truck a week ago, they are stating it needs $16,000 worth of work. Serious engine work, steering components, tie rods, leaking oil and radiator, etc. I thought Carvana did a “150 point inspection”.

    This expensive truck was dropped off in my driveway roughly 1 month ago, I barely have had time to drive it. The check engine light has come on 4 times and each time taking it to “PepBoys Auto” and now the most recent trip taking it to a local mechanic recommended by my local Mercedes dealer because PepBoys wouldn’t diagnose the problem anymore. Carvana just keeps telling me to call my third party warranty company Silverrock but they WON'T fix the truck. This whole experience is a scam. There is no way they looked at this truck before dropping it off in my driveway, this is insane! I have a 7 month pregnant wife and I’m without a truck to drive! They REFUSE TO FIX MY TRUCK!

    My vehicle purchase from Carvana was an absolute nightmare. Initially there were several shipping delays and inconveniences followed by an inaccurate delivery report saying that the vehicle had been detail cleaned and test driven with no issues. However, following the speedy departure of the delivery person, a quick test drive revealed Many issues that were later described by an independent mechanic as "Deadly" and "An absolute safety concern". The vehicle was delivered with Zero rear braking capabilities. Working with their warranty company, SilverRock was effortless and easy, however U, the consumer, have to do all the work to get your vehicle up to the minimum standards of safety and as the vehicle was advertised by Carvana.

    Carvana's customer service is spotty. I tried the chat but it was of little help. The 1-800 number, which I found on Google, seemed to get me further. I spoke with approx 30+ "advocates" with dismal results. And if they promise or schedule a return or follow up call, good luck. I never received mine! Overall, once the repairs are completed I will be happy with the car, definitely not the company. Drive you happy? More like Drive you crazy!!!

    The buying experience was not what I expected. The vehicle had paint chips and a door ding. The passenger rear window didn't close all the way up. See some pictures I uploaded. Carvana states they will take the vehicle back. However, your delivery and/or shipping cost are not refundable. You could be out $700 to $2000. They provide a 100 day warranty. Good luck trying to use the warranty. It's a third party provider and they want to keep their profit. Their goal is don't pay out. Carvana states that they cover what you can see in a picture from 4 to 6 feet from the vehicle. What a joke! Lesson learned. Buy pre-owned vehicles in person. See them, drive them before buying.

    I read reviews all good. I took a chance and it was a huge mistake. When my car was delivered it had so much damage that wasn’t in the order. The first 3 pictures are what they showed as the ONLY imperfections on the car. 2 of them was on the tire rims and the other was a little webbing on a door. The driver took pictures of all the other damage not listed. When I spoke to them on the phone they even extended my return days waiting to see if they would fix it. I told them I did NOT want the car if they weren’t fixing the damage because it was so bad! Once the claim was approved it was only for the back quarter panel. They said all the other damage was normal wear and tear.

    The body shop guy sent another claim saying this was a botched paint job and not any type of normal wear and tear. Mind you, at one point I said come get it, I’m returning it and they said too late. Because the warranty company took an extra week to get back with us the extended return time had passed. After HOURS of escalating this between Carvana and Silver Rock, which both companies kept blaming the other, I finally gave up. One of the first Carvana reps told me I purchased the premier warranty and worst case scenario I could have it fixed with that and pay the $100 deductible. So I tried that and they informed me that doesn’t cover this type of damage it only covers paintless dent repair! What? That’s in the fine print even though the outline of it is get all your dings and scratches repaired with this warranty.

    (Your CarvanaCare Premier plan is our most comprehensive coverage available! It covers almost everything your manufacturer warranty covers plus more. CarvanaCare Premier also protects you against damage to your tires and wheels, minor dings and dents, and includes 3 oil changes and tire rotations for one year.)

    Nowhere in that does it say PAINTLESS repair. Needless to say I’m not happy. I have $4,000 worth of repair that isn’t being covered and a bad taste for both these companies. I will make sure all my social media sees these reviews as well I will be posting them on every review site possible. I want the least amount of people screwed by these companies as possible.

    I’m also looking for others that have experienced these issues as if there are enough of us this could turn into a class action! I was only able to add a few of my pictures of damage as it limits the amount of pictures. My car as paint drips, bubbles from where someone pulled the tape off a fresh paint job, I even have BLACK paint on my silver grill and white paint on the black trim! It’s crazy that anyone tried to sell this with only 3 imperfections listed. I would have never looked twice at this car. Carvana and Silverock both receive 0 stars. Except I had to select at least 1.

I was approved rather quickly, however my delivery date changed 3 times. There is no real person to talk to thru their website, only an automated bot or so it seems. The responses are always the same, "Sorry to hear that, we apologize, or unfortunately no we are unable to help you". The delivery date went from 9/23 to 9/25 to 10/1 from a order placed on 09/12/24. If it is there issue why the vehicle is not delivered on the date they provide you.. You are out of luck with no consideration but an automated apology. "Oh it's at a dealership, we have to go pick it up from out of state, the vehicle has to go thru a process, the vehicle missed the truck."

    If all these things come into play or could. Do not false advertise a delivery date.. If I had to wait 3 weeks for a vehicle I could’ve just went to a dealership. After the 2nd time being rescheduled I searched for a number online to 1 of their locations in Dallas. This is when I learn, there is indeed a number to speak to a live person, however nothing changed, my delivery date was still the same. No help at all, the representative ** indicated he would put in the notes for the driver to give me some "goodies" when delivering my vehicle. Driver had no clue about anything. The window to deliver my vehicle was 5-8. My vehicle was delivered 7:46 pm. Which means it's already dark, I am unable to properly inspect the vehicle's actual imperfections.

    The website indicated 3 imperfections, which is a total lie. There were significant chips, scraps, and a crappy cover up job on about 10-15 scrapes on the windows, horrible patchwork for scratches that look like concrete melted on the vehicle. A crappy job of gluing a silver piece of metal on the rim or the rear passenger window which came off 6 days after having the vehicle. I did need my vehicle to return to work on 9/30/24. NO one cared or considered my inconvenience. They do give you 7 days to return the vehicle, but how could I. No refunds are given for shipping costs, and after waiting almost 3 weeks for a vehicle that had way more damage than the website indicated, bottom-line I needed the vehicle to go to work. I would never purchase from Carvana again, nor would I recommend them to anyone.

This must have been a known problem prior to selling this vehicle which was never addressed. It literally takes 20 minutes to try and get any gas in the tank and you never know when it’s actually full. Once Carvana delivers they don’t want to hear from you or how you were wronged…. They wash their hands of you and only refer you to the warranty company, Silver Rock. There are no mechanics that can help us so we have to wait until mid November just to get into a dealer.

    The Carvana experience, overall, was very good! I was incredibly happy with the online purchase experience, I was able to "check out" in about 25 minutes once I was ready to commit. However, the pick-up was not as smooth as I'd like. I chose a delivery date 10 days away. I arrived at my appointment on-time, and was informed the vehicle was not ready yet, they said they needed time to "detail" the vehicle. Watching the car descend the elevator was an awesome show. Paperwork fill-out was fine too. Exiting the building to see the car at a 10-foot distance, I noticed scratches & blemishes on it that were not disclosed in Carvana's picture statement.

    A manager is called and I’m told that things that are not "easily seen from a distance" are ignored. That would be OK if: 1) did not see them from 10-feet away, and 2) the blemishes Carvana did disclose were minor in comparison to the others not listed. I took delivery of the car anyway, murmuring the whole time that Carvana got that last laugh at me; "no wonder the price was good". One body shop was able to remove majority of the scratching with acute detailing work. What's annoying here is Carvana also used the term "we're detailing the vehicle" (seriously, just call it a car-wash if all you're doing is pressure washing it) and that if Carvana tried a little harder in the final presentation/clean, the vehicle would be immaculate as it is now and i would not be writing a 2000 character review as a thorn-in-my-side.

    But, overall I would recommend Carvana because I felt like I got a good price, delivery was OK, the car is great, and so far 2 months later- no weird marketing phone calls! It was such a better experience than going to a dealership IF you know what you want. All-in-all, ignoring the detailing snafu, probably spent less than 1 hour total from “buy now” to “driving”, which is amazing considering last time i bought at a dealership it was almost 5 hours. Finally, Carvana's 7-day money-back guarantee is really nice- although I didn't need it, it worked remarkably well to extinguish all my mental "what-ifs" and instill confidence in the process.

    From the moment the car came down from the tow truck. It was filthy. The minute I open the door the car was covered in dog hair, the windows, the combination meter everything was dirty and full of grime. Then after spending over $300 on a detail, I come to find out that the car is completely covered in overspray. I contacted Carvana and submitted a claim and they said that was normal wear and tear and not covered. This is really sad because this is the car that I’ve been looking for for a while with the correct packaging. But now I have to spend thousands of dollars to get the car repainted. Is all while the listing only said that the car had minor scuffs and scratches and a little wear and fade in the interior. Overall, this is a horrible experience and I will never buy a car from them again.

    Totally irritated. Was told I was good to go only to have a rep contact me back and tell me that because my ex (who I have not talked to in 5 years) was on my title I could not use my old car as a trade in even though it is in my divorce decree that I get the car upon the finalization of the divorce. They would not take the divorce decree as proof and that he needed to be present on the delivery of the new car and trade in of the old. My downpayment then went from 690 (990 with trade in) to almost 4000.00. The rep told me she would send in the refund request for the 690 and didn't do so. Now in chat I'm told that they have initiated the refund today. Total refund, scam and deception. I will NEVER use them again.

    Carvana pockets $1275 for every refund and exchange. It would be a free test drive at a dealership. You pay them to ship a car near you (plus roughly $600 for delivery to your house). They claim this is made clear on their website and, in their defense, it is raised in the purchase process. You as a consumer must be aware of the implication: You're paying this as a blind faith gesture they will deliver what they promise with transparency and business ethics.

    The vehicle I purchased arrived full of scratches to the interior and an intense dog smell. I decided the vehicle wasn't what I wanted, and was reminded of this non-refundable fee while attempting to exchange it for a more expensive vehicle. They would have earned 4k and kept the 40k cash I already paid, but instead, they will keep $1275 while censoring critical reviews on whatever forums they control.

    Look at the top search results for Carvana reviews, and you will see a Reddit channel they moderate. Read the rules for that channel. You cannot share a negative experience on that channel. Apparently, they allow reviews on their website and provide users with a review link days after an exchange is performed. We shall see if they live up to this claim. Carvana puts reputation and advertising above its core business and customer base. Is that the type of company you'd do business with?

Carvana‘s warranty company SilverRock also gets a five star review. Two days after my car arrived, a replace brake pad light came on.

One representative refused to let us talk to her manager after we asked. We finally hung up and called back to get someone else and were yet again told different information. After finally getting all the documentation they needed, we had the car delivered just to be told our trade in wasn’t eligible because the employee couldn’t get the Bluetooth code reader to work on our car. We have had other code readers run just fine on our car before. All that hassle for nothing. I would not recommend Carvana to anyone unless paying cash and not trading in a vehicle.

There were far more clips missing elsewhere in the vehicle. 4) Carvana's reps texted me two days after the purchase was final wanting me to call my bank and help them cash the check for the purchase price.

    Beware - Carvana will misrepresent details and options on their vehicles. Carvana will not stand by their word and own up to their misleading (bait & switch) vehicle listings. The only thing that I have to say positive about Carvana is the ease of the entire process of finding, purchasing, financing and delivering the vehicle. However, after going back and forth with Carvana for over a month to resolve their mistakes, they still haven't been resolved:

    FACTS: The description listed on the vehicle was not true. In fact, there are 3 features that the listing says the vehicle was equip with did not exist. I didn't notice these features were missing until several days after the car was delivered. I contacted Carvan and they admitted to the mistake and said I could pick another vehicle from their inventory. I told them that there were only a few days left in the 7-day window to find another vehicle and that wasn't enough time, so they extended an additional 7-days to my search. I then asked them to look for vehicles that matched with the same (options, price, year, millage, etc.) as the vehicle I purchased, so they did.

    However, the only vehicles Carvana found that matched were either older models, much higher mileage or if they did find a match, the vehicles were $5k more expensive than the vehicle I purchased. I then asked Carvana to cover then price difference of the vehicles they found and they said no, I would have to pay the additional price difference, which I refused to do because it was Carvan's mistake misrepresenting the vehicle I purchased and was delivered. At that point Carvana said then I could return the vehicle, and they would only give me a $500 credit and that's all. I also asked for a refund of the delivery fee I paid, which they agreed to do at first, but when I called back asking when would I receive the money they said there was no record of them saying that and they flat out said they were not going to refund the shipping fee back.

    To even add to Carvana's mistakes, during this period of time I took the vehicle into the dealership to have an inspection done and it was determined in the inspection report that two of the tires were worn to the point they were unsafe to drive. So I contacted Carvana again, this time about the tires and was only told to contact Carvana's warranty company Bridgecrest. So I contacted Bridgecrest and they said that the dealership report was not an authorized shop in their network, therefore wasn't valid to them; and that I would have to use a shop from their list. So they said Pepboys was on the list and I could schedule an appointment with them which I ended up doing. So I took it to Pepboys, and they called Bridgecrest and got authorization to confirm if the tire needed replacement.

    After waiting for an hour for them to confirm the tire replacement, Pepboys called Bridgecrest and was told the claim was declined and I needed to call Bridgecrest to speak with them. After calling Bridgecrest myself, I was told that I took too long to take the vehicle into Pepboys and my period to have the tires replaced expired. What a waste of my time and money! I will never sell a car buy anything from this company again! I plan to contact as many of resources I can in the auto industry and post this disservice on social media platforms to warn anyone that's thinking about even using Carvana to buy or sell their vehicles.

    First time buying from Carvana. Car searching was easy and efficient. Once I found the vehicle I wished to purchase, I started the online buying process. The application was easy but had trouble uploading documents up to the point Carvana telling me the car had been put back online for others to purchase. This did not make me very happy having already put a lot of time into completing the online process.

    Once approved the trade-in and vehicle pickup at the Carvana was easy. I did want to put more money down in the vehicle prior to purchase but with all the issues I had with the online experience I did didn’t want to have additional issues the day I was picking up the car. Also the person that was helping me was new and still learning the process. The car is very nice with the exception of a large door ding through the paint on the passenger door (not disclosed) but Carvana is helping take care of the repair.

    One other thing I have noticed since driving the car for a few weeks now, the windshield should have been replaced. Can barely see through it when the sun is coming in through the windshield. Dangerous! Going to have to replace it out of pocket. The windshield issue should have been disclosed prior to purchase. If you would like me to attach pictures of the door ding and windshield let me know. Hope this helps improve future purchases. Thanks. V/r, Mike

    I took delivery of this beautiful, blue 2022 Honda HRV on October 17. Initially noticed that were more cosmetic blemishes than in the ad. I said something to the delivery driver who told me they can no longer do anything about that and I would have to file a claim. Or he could take the vehicle back. No big deal, had them leave the vehicle and started filing a claim with pictures. I heard back about my claims the following day, stating that they are normal wear for this age/usage and the claim was denied. We aren’t talking small chips on the front bumper but large scratches (12+ inches) and tar caked to the paint. But that’s “normal” for a 2 year old vehicle…

    Then I take it to the local dealership for an inspection. It has a bad front strut, bad steering rack and several service items needed (engine and cabin air filters, transmission flush, brake flush (contaminated fluid). So filing another claim and I have to pay the deductible for these repairs and they won’t cover any of the service items. Yes, I probably should have returned the vehicle but I did a trade-in and was told I would not be able to get my car back after they took it.

    This is a very shady practice considering they plainly stated that they did a thorough inspection of the vehicle yet it arrived in this shape to me, the customer. And they’re unapologetic and I’m here with nearly $4000 of service/repairs needed on a 2 year old vehicle. With the warranty it won’t cost that but it is still poor customer service and poor practice to not try to make these things right.

    I purchased a 2017 Ford Escape, and my experience with their customer service has been nothing short of dreadful. During the delivery, I was waiting for a friend to join me for a test drive when the delivery driver abruptly left. Once my friend arrived, I discovered a small crack in the windshield. When I reported this to Carvana, they advised that I should have mentioned it to the delivery person, and that the repair costs would be mine to cover. Then, on the eighth day—just one day after the 7-day money-back guarantee—the battery died and required a complete replacement. I reached out to Carvana Service & Repair, but once again, they informed me that they could not assist and that this expense would also have to come from my own pocket.

    This entire ordeal has left me feeling utterly frustrated and disillusioned with Carvana's promises of hassle-free car buying. It seems that their commitment to customer satisfaction ends the moment the car is delivered. The lack of accountability and unwillingness to address even minor issues speaks volumes about their priorities.

    The customer service representatives I spoke to were unhelpful and dismissive, offering no solutions or empathy for the situation. It's as if they were reading from a script, with no real concern for the customer's experience. This is not the kind of service one would expect when making such a significant purchase. Furthermore, the fact that the battery died so soon after the purchase is a clear indication of insufficient checks and quality assurance on their part. It raises concerns about the overall reliability of their vehicles and the transparency of their inspection process.

    Overall, my experience with Carvana has been deeply disappointing. I would advise potential buyers to exercise caution and consider other options when purchasing a vehicle. The convenience they advertise is overshadowed by the lack of support and service, leaving customers to deal with unforeseen problems on their own.

Over the weekend the one single key we were given with the vehicle broke and cut key part of the fob broke off and was lost and we were unable to start the vehicle because it's a turn key ignition.

    When I contacted Carvana, I was essentially told I was out of luck or I could place a claim with SilverRock to get repairs done. This is not a repair.

I appreciate that they will be covered by Silver Rock but it’s still a hassle to have to get a car fixed as soon as I purchased it. Definitely a significant flaw with Carvana system that these issues weren’t caught.

    Pros:
    - Search was comprehensive and was easy to find vehicle I was looking for.

    - Transaction was quick and easy as well.

    Cons:
    - Took a long time to deliver.
    - Vehicle not in the vending machine.
    - Car had obvious issues.
    - Carvana does not have a repair shop to repair issues.
    - No ability to negotiate price (overpaid).

    - Poor customer service on-site at "vending machine".

    Details: I brought my kids to pick up my vehicle from the Carvana machine. Excited to see the "vending machine" work. It didn't my car was parked out front. No big deal, but disappointed. Then, upon initial walk around found several things broken on the vehicle. I was assured Carvana would take care of it. Never received any follow-up. When I contacted them, they gave me the option to take it to Firestone. Firestone has no experience with my make/model and couldn't tell me what steps they would take to resolve. Instead took to the dealer who fixed most (not all) of the issues. So far I'm out an extra $600 and, have been without my new vehicle for 2 days.

    Clearly carvana didn't do even a basic check of the vehicle before delivery. Also, it wasn't even clean. Sticky drops of what look like coke are all over the back seats. The exterior badly needs a wash and wax. Planning to spend a couple hundred more dollars on a detail clean as soon as I get it repaired. If you're considering doing business with Carvana, I'd strongly recommend a traditional dealer if you don't want to deal with having to correct problems on your own.

    Our experience with Carvana has been disastrous. They failed to disclose that our Land Rover Discovery had been in a prior accident, which wasn’t mentioned during their walkthrough. The car arrived with broken glass on the floor, which continues to spill from the tailgate. We’ve spent over $4,000 in repairs and are facing another $4,000 in costs, but the Executive Warranty department has shown no empathy. They refuse to cover the repairs, despite this being a clear safety hazard—especially with our 2-year-old with special needs.

    This situation may violate multiple laws, including the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), as their refusal to address the broken glass issue disproportionately affects the safety of our child with special needs. Under the ADA, individuals with disabilities are entitled to safe environments, and Carvana’s neglect to resolve this hazardous situation could be seen as non-compliant.

    Additionally, Carvana’s actions may violate state and federal consumer protection laws, such as the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, which mandates the disclosure of accurate warranty details and prohibits deceptive warranty practices. Their refusal to honor their 100-day warranty and failure to disclose the vehicle’s prior accident history could also fall under unfair and deceptive trade practices in violation of consumer fraud laws. Selling a car that was falsely advertised as being in excellent condition may further breach lemon laws, which protect consumers from purchasing defective vehicles.

    Carvana has already faced lawsuits and legal action in several states, including Florida, Pennsylvania, and Illinois, for failing to deliver titles on time and for selling vehicles without proper inspection. The company has been investigated for numerous violations of consumer protection laws, reflecting an ongoing pattern of negligence. Our case adds to this history of poor customer service and deceptive practices, as they continue to deny responsibility for the vehicle’s condition.

    Furthermore, Carvana’s claim that the broken glass isn’t a safety issue is outrageous, especially considering the 2022 Hyundai recall involving similar glass-related concerns. Hyundai recalled thousands of vehicles after it was discovered that windshields could detach in an accident, posing a significant safety hazard . This highlights that broken or loose glass can indeed be a serious safety issue, which Carvana is choosing to ignore. Their lack of accountability, empathy, and customer care has forced us to consider legal action. We believe this negligence could also violate multiple consumer protection laws and the ADA, given the safety concerns affecting our special needs child.

    As a car enthusiast I was nervous about buying a used car sight unseen. But I have to say I was pleasantly surprised when the car pulled up on the truck. The car was how they described on line. I was also happy with the purchase price, ease of purchase and registration. There were two flaws on the car that weren’t listed in the description but they were minor. Nail in the tire and a broken piece of trunk trim. A more thorough inspection is the one area where I think Carvana could improve because the flaws that I found that weren’t listed on the ad were very obvious so it made me nervous they missed other things. Overall we were very happy with our Carvana experience and will use them again.

    I really enjoyed my experience with Carvana. It was fun and easy. The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is because the inside of the car has a distinct dog smell. I would have liked to know ahead of time what I would be dealing with. I made the choice to keep the vehicle because I didn’t think the smell was worth returning, but I would have liked to know the potential costs of getting the interior deep cleaned. Carvana has been very transparent about defects of the vehicle, and I would to see them add all information regarding the vehicle.

    What a great experience I had buying a car from Carvana. I had made the decision to downgrade from a 4x4 full size pick up truck to a full sized SUV. After going to my local dealerships and hearing a low ball trade in value I decided to try Carvana. Not only did they value my vehicle fairly according to KBB but they also valued it 2-3k above local dealerships. The process was simple approved, found my vehicle, ordered the vehicle, they showed up, dropped my new car off and took the old car. Very impressed and will definitely use again on my next vehicle purchase.

    The online purchasing process was exceptionally efficient and user-friendly. The website's intuitive design and swift response times made for a seamless experience. However, the in-person vehicle handover process requires significant improvement. Upon receiving the vehicle from the vending machine, the staff simply handed me the keys without providing any orientation or conducting a joint inspection of the vehicle. I had to request assistance with adjusting the seats, and the vehicle's cleanliness was subpar, with smudges, incomplete tire shine, and unclean seats. It was only after thoroughly cleaning the vehicle myself that I began to appreciate its qualities. The hasty manner in which the employee rushed through the handover process left me feeling undervalued as a customer. This experience raises concerns about the likelihood of future vehicle purchases from Carvana.

    Carvana is a very nice and smooth operation. I’ve got 2 other cars from Carvana and both seem great. Unfortunately, this last Ford Edge that I purchased had a rattle on the way home, two days later the check engine light came on, and the tire inflation light has been on. Other than that, it’s a nice car, but it is just beyond my seven days, and the problems are causing me worry. I’ve called several Ford dealerships and they all say it’s gonna be two weeks before they can look at my car because they’re so busy. So I’ve got my fingers crossed, and you could probably understand my worry.

    I recently purchased a BMW 3 Series from Carvana. Upon delivery, the driver pointed out a couple of minor scratches on the car which were not disclosed during the sales process and said that their insurer, Silver Rock, would cover the costs of the repairs after I accepted the car. The driver then scratched the wheel and the rim as he was off-loading the car from the truck bed. He was backing the car out and hit the side of our driveway. He again asked me to accept the car and assured me that Silver Rock would cover the cost of the repairs. He took pictures of the damages and made sure everything was documented.

    I submitted a claim to Silver Rock the next day, with photos of the damages. They replied with a preferred shop and asked me to take my car in to get a quote, which I did. The quote to fix all 3 things was $3,346 but Silver Rock only agreed to cover $1,427 saying that the damages to the wheel and the rim were a part of the normal wear and tear process for used cars.

    I explained the issue to them and told them that the driver had caused the damage to the wheel, showing them the text message he sent me when the damage was caused and pointing to the photos he took during the delivery process. They still declined it and said that I would have to either contact Carvana or pay for the repairs out of pocket. Carvana is also refusing to accept liability to cover the cost so I'm stuck having to pay another $2,000 on top of the $43,000 purchase price for this vehicle. I will never be purchasing another vehicle from Carvana as a result of this issue and would strongly discourage anyone else from doing so as well. Their delivery and customer services processes is one of the worst I have ever experienced.

    Let me start by saying I like the vehicle. I did my due diligence and research to ensure that this was the right car for me. However, it was clear Carvana did not. There were several issues with the car. The car was FILTHY upon pickup, both inside and out. It clearly was not detailed as there was pet hair, sand, trash, and even an employee’s badge left in the car. There was also a noticeable crack in the windshield and one of the interior lightbulbs was inoperative. I expected a little more professionalism getting the car from a dealer. They make the transaction process easy, but put little to no care in the vehicle.

    The process is pretty easy. Just follow the online pages. I would have given 5 stars, save the truck's cabin filter needed replacing and two tires were mismatched. Also, one tire had a repair job on the sidewall. Sidewall repairs are always a risk factor which should never be used. Always remember, any car new or used should always be checked out at your local trusted auto shop.

    As a repeat Carvana customer I was expecting the same great experience I had the first time. Wow, was I disappointed. My car arrived on time and the delivery driver Nicole was wonderful. Not long after she left we went out for the evening, leaving the 2024 Tucson in the driveway. Upon our return there was a large puddle of oil in my driveway.

    The next morning I called Carvana and Shante (sp?) and after explaining the situation I was told that the oil stain in my driveway was my problem and any repairs not covered by Silverrock were also my problem (they totaled a little over $100). I then asked if there was something Carvana could offer as a sign of good faith (on my last purchase I received semi custom rubber floor mats) and was again told that there was nothing that Carvana would be doing for me.

    I feel that this is a gross lack of customer care and after having recommended your company very highly based on my first experience (I know of 5 transactions that were a direct result of my recommendation). At this point I assume that no one actually listens to the calls supposedly recorded for quality purposes, as no one has yet to reach out to me.

    TOTALLY SCAM, This is my first and last time buying car from Carvana. NOT RECOMMEND to anyone, The car they show you online when is arrived the reality is totally different than expect, I swipe car 3 time and all car has cosmetic damage which they not show in the purchasing list. Finally for third car I was almost about to return (Look like somebody done the hard scratches by Knife on the car. I send them All photo evidence and also spoke the delivery guy who came to deliver the car) but they say they will take care me. Don't worry. But after paperwork done they say is second car (19000 mile 1 owner personal use). "It has to be some cosmetic issue. We are not able to fix it," Also I got the inspection violation ticket which I supposed to not gate before 10 days after purchase according to Carvana (I went to the state parking authority. They say, "You have to talk with Carvana.").

    I send them ticket photo. After that they say, "We will send you the check" which I never receive, Also they mashed up my Registration. They work very slow to transfer number plate. The time frame passed out and DMV decline to transfer old number plate. I call Carvana. They say, "Now you have to go to the state DMV and transfer registration by yourself (I still have 2 number plate. I dont' know what to do. If you go to state dmv its take more than 3 hours.)." Whatever charges we will pay WHICH THEY NOT GONNA PAY ME BACK. Overall very BAD experience.

    I did call them thousand time and explain everything every time. Sometimes they hang up the phone. Sometimes they don't give you proper answers on chat either, I would like to pay dealership charge but I would NOT SUGGEST anybody to go with CARVANA. Its' A BIG SCAM, car has top many scratch on it but I PUT FEW PHOTOS which I required at least to done cosmetic work but they declined after paperwork not before. Be careful guys.
