The online experience is really easy and the process of dropping the coin or home delivery make this very cool. But please, please, please, don't overlook you are buying a used car. Don't let them make you feel good because they disclosed two pictures of scratches. These cars came through auctions, and they made repairs, the really nasty cheap ones nobody knows about and Carvana isn't sharing these. You have one recourse, take the car back in the 7 days.... We fell for the take it to one of our repair centers.... Once the seven days are up, they don't care. We took the car to a body shop and they pointed out both front end and rear end damage to the vehicle. All cheaply fixed by the auction or Carvana. This was a 12 month old vehicle with 12K miles.

I Love my new ride! The process for the most part was super easy and way better than dealing with pushy salesman at a dealership. I definitely recommend Carvana to everyone! If you live in NC make sure to do your driver's license first before purchasing because it will possibly delay the sale. I will definitely send friends and family to them.

Our appointment to pick up our car was 2:00. We got there about 10 minutes early. Our attendant did not see us until 2:30 and that was after I went looking for him. He was chatting with a customer for 30 minutes while we waited. Showing him something in his phone and just talking even after their transaction was completed, while we waited. No one else was able to help us even when I ask. The car has a bad backup camera and you wanted to charge us $100 for the repair! Very bad experience.

Carvana is a straightforward car sales service with helpful associates if running into questions or concerns. There are a lot of steps in the purchasing process but it’s still so much better than going to a dealership. And they offered a much better trade in value for my car than the local dealership offered. I’d 100% recommend purchasing through Carvana. I never want to go to a dealership again. I plan on using Carvana for all future purchases and trade-ins.

After my experience with Carvana I will tell everyone I know to never use Carvana to purchase a vehicle. I purchased a car that the check engine light came on 4 days after it was delivered. The car had engine work done to it but Carvana had no clue about modifications. After speaking with someone at Carvana about exchange process I chose to do that because of ease described by advocate. It was not an easy process by any means. The exchange took about two week because of Carvana system of processing a Cashiers Check. And now that I received new car Carvana is having trouble processing Cashiers Check that was given on second delivery, to the point they are sending threatening emails and texts about repossession. How can a company not take every step to ensure a Cashiers Check is fully tracked. Plus second vehicles has remote start listed on description but it has no remote start.
Carvana offered a $100 dollar check for mistake of remote start listed. Over this whole experience I’ve spoken to at least 20 different people to try to help with problems. Only 1 individual actually knew what he was talking about the entire experience. Carvana your systems and standards are broken. I would say fix them but I actually hope no one uses your service to get screwed like I did.

Worst buying experience I’ve had. Purchased vehicle online, everything went smooth until 40 min prior to delivery. I rec’d a call saying check engine light was on and they would look into it and call next day. I called Cs and did a chat on the app 5 times the next day. Chats kept being dropped and nobody knew what was wrong with the car or when it would be fixed. They also told me there was no escalations dept. I didn’t get the vehicle for over a week. Zero communication. Every time I called the CS rep seemed just as bewildered as me.
Once the vehicle was delivered the driver told me “we checked the tires to make sure they’re safe or we replace them. This is good to go.” I brought it into a private shop to have it looked over and there were some minor things but the tread was dangerously low and I needed new tires. After 5 days of driving it, check engine light goes on. Now I’m told I deal with warranty company, Silverrock. Turns out, vehicle needs a new engine. I haven’t gotten the car back or even repaired. That was 3 weeks ago. I’m so frustrated, I don’t even know what to do. It’s like turning in circles and going nowhere with no one to help. My next step is to file a complaint with BBB and contact attorney general's office. BEWARE! This company makes it seem like it’s such an easy process but it’s an absolute nightmare and there seems to never be anyone to get a hold of other than entry level CS.

Fast, hassle free and painless. Sure beats six hours at a dealership! Definitely recommend for your next vehicle purchase!

When I went back after I found the car wasn't clean, the guys that helped were extremely nice and even gave a goodie bag. And the whole process was really easy. But having looked over our car, it looks as though the front bumper was super glued back on, and that was not disclosed in the information. There is cloudy gunk that can't be removed on the left front light, right mirror and right window, that was also not disclosed. Even though the 150 inspection says it was passed.. I'm worried about some noises coming from the engine.

This was by far the easiest way to buy a car. I am in my fifties and would never had imagined buying a car that I had never seen or driven. Carvana takes away this fear. They have excellent customer service and answered all of my questions and addressed all of my concerns. The car had a small problem with the park assist when I first got it but all I had to do was call them and take the car in for service. It didn't cost me anything and Carvana even extended the 7 day trial so I would have a chance to drive it a few days after the repair. I would recommend Carvana to anyone looking to buy a car.

I loved that you get to see the entire vehicle inside and out, however, when describing the number of scratches on the vehicle I was led to believe there were just 3 places. Turns out there were twice as many. I have a great credit score so I looked into financing through Carvana since I assumed it would make the process go through faster. Nevertheless, when they came back and told me I was qualified to finance my vehicle through Carvana it was going to be at 24.32%!!! Really? My credit score was just shy of 800! Not going to happen… If you don't finance through them, they give you these 'tasks' that need to be accomplished along the way. However, they don't tell you ALL of the tasks that need to be done at one time. You only find out about the 'other' tasks, once you've completed the prior task.
Also, unless someone calls you, you never find out why a particular 'task' keeps failing or why they keep asking for the same thing over and over. Over the course of 3 days, I uploaded the same documents over and over again until someone called and explained why it was failing. Once that 'task' was completed, I received another 'task' during the weekend needing information only my bank would have, but they were closed. The following Monday I was bombarded by phone calls and emails about other 'tasks' that needed to be accomplished in a matter of hours or my vehicle would not be delivered on-time. Once I did have everything completed within their timeline, I was told to call back to confirm one item. The person I talked to this time, told me I had to do several items that had already been done!
I reiterated several times that they were already completed and that I was just calling back to confirm 1 item from my financial institution. It was only after a few minutes did this person actually look at my account and all of the notes to understand what I was saying. Then they told me congratulations, as I had completed everything and the car would be delivered tomorrow as scheduled. So, we went from "You need to accomplish all of this stuff" to, "Oh hey congratulations. You’ve traversed our mythical maze of the unknown!"
This experience has really soured me on purchasing a vehicle online ever again. While there's a certain convenience to shopping online, like no salesperson following you around and prodding you for information, there's also a certain unknown to the entire process where you don’t have anyone physically to reach out to when you have questions. Also, using a call center NOT located within the USA makes the entire communication process harder and completely unnecessary.

Since purchasing my vehicle from Carvana 9 days ago, I've spent at least 4 days being at a repair shop. Carvana and their partner have paid for 2 of the major issues (a broken seat track and needing the rear windshield replaced), but I'm still left with a key fob that won't start my car and requires reprogramming - quoted $115 plus tax to reprogram (it unlocks and locks the car but when I get in it says that the key fob isn't detected so the push button start doesn't work). They also won't cover the repair or replacement of my 3rd row seat cover (quoted $843 to replace).
I discovered on day 7 that the 3rd row seat cushion zipper is broken and won't zip at all and leaves the interior of the seat exposed. Not to mention the day I picked up my car it was filthy. Who knows what the sticky stuff was in almost every cupholder, as well as old food on the floor and in the tracks. I had a carvana employee come out and take a look at how filthy it was and he couldn't believe how terribly it had been "cleaned".

For the most part, my experience was outstanding. I submitted the purchase initially for a 2016 Kia Sorento with a price tag of $16,039.65. The deal was completed but when I went to secure insurance, my outfit informed me that Pennsylvania doesn't insure Collision coverage on Sorento's due to a high rate of stolen vehicles in that brand of car. I went back to Carvana and cancelled that purchase and completed the deal on the car I am keeping. There is a difference of $424 that is due to me as the Tucson was less than the Sorento.
As of today, 8 days after the purchase, I have not received the $424 from Carvana. Carvana pulled the funds for the purchase on the day of the transaction and reminded me several times about the 7 day period to return the vehicle if I didn't want it. I would expect the $424 should be in my account within the next business day as I have gone past the 7 day return period. Everything else was excellent including the pick up of the vehicle at your Bridgeville, PA location.

The Good: Car I bought was as advertised. 2023 Chevy Bolt EV. The Bad: Before buying the car I had placed hold money ($200) on two different cars. This gave me 1st chance to look and buy when the cars had been inspected and cleaned. I decided not to buy either of them. The hold money was suppose to be refunded but I never got my money back. I called support (located in Mexico City) but they were of no help.

Carvana is great. It was easy, fun, and will shop again. Only complaint is Bridgecrest. I will not use them again. Use someone else for financing! First off they call me daily for no reason. When they call they sound like scammers. It's not enough to say "this is her" when they ask for you by name, they say "no we need you to say yes". I hang up and call back with the number from their site and they don't actually have a reason for calling, they run through what their website can do.

I was amazed to discover that Carvana routinely requires purchasers to commit perjury when trading in a vehicle in California. One e-sign document I was required to sign stated "under threat of perjury" that I had LOST the title. I had not, and in fact, I was able to present it to the deliverer. Listen closely, because this is amazing: I called customer service, and TEN, 10, T-E-N consecutive agents over the course of a two hour phone call told me it was required. I declined.
Then, when my vehicle was delivered, the delivery agent repeated this claim. I said no, I was not going to commit perjury. This makes ELEVEN of your representatives who all said I was required to commit perjury in order to complete the purchase. Fortunately, the delivery agent called "his paperwork person" who said "Aw, no , not really, that's just in case we lose the title." So, I'm supposed to perjure myself so you're not inconvenienced if you lose some paperwork? Surely you'll agree, the optics of this are so poor.

So getting the car was easy. Thanks! And thanks for saving my remote. Appreciated that. All the fluids are low so having to do that. The biggest problem I have is the condition of the car was not what you stated (You posted 3 pictures of 3 super small scratches). Lots and lots and lots of scratches especially on the front bumper which I thought was bugs and detailing should remove them. No such luck. There are rock pits. The rock chips in the window shield, door dings, All the door jams were dirty like it had been in a dust storm. I guess that's the draw back of a used car... The car is pretty good shape. I will deal with the cosmetic problems. Sending just a few photos.

I'm satisfied overall with my used car buying experience, but I did note some cosmetic issues, verging on functional problems with the car. When I removed the Carvana inventory stickers from the windshield, I found a crack, which I had fixed immediately for $170 at my local Safelite. I also found the front grill was broken and the radiator behind it bent, as if a small animal or flexible soft object had gone through the front grill at freeway speed. The radiator isn't leaking and the car isn't overheating, so I just bought a front grill replacement (only $200 with a Black Friday coupon!) that I will install myself.
I'm also not fully convinced that the low-mileage accurately reflects the true condition of the car. There are parts of the undercarriage, door crannies, and engine bay that are extremely dirty, as if the car was driven in a sandstorm or mud. Very strange, given the low mileage of the car. Maybe it was driven thru the Montana desert at high speeds... that explains the abraded paint on the hood.

I am really disappointed with your unwillingness to fix issues that were not listed in the original vehicle description. The $40,000 Jeep Wrangler I purchased has a large scratch on the driver front fender, that was not listed in the description, which was filled with a dark color touchup paint on a bright red fender. You replaced 2 tires and should have replaced all 4. One of the floor mats is broken.

Lastly I did take my car to another deal here in Florida, they were just above Carvana over the phone. When I brought it in they offered $10,000. So for now it is back in the garage - Think twice before selling your car, I don't mind people making many, more than 50% is taking things too far - I added a photo of my Benz, the one I got a low ball offer on, low mile, no damage - Good luck to everyone - Cheers.

Disappointed with how many scratches and chips. They weren’t described in the vehicle detail online when the car was delivered as well as the condition of the front tires. Took the vehicle to Mercedes-Benz of Palm Beach to inspect the vehicle and they said that a B3 service was due as the vehicle hadn’t been serviced in over a year and had to have that expensive service done. And on further inspection they said it needed two new front tires and Which was over $1400! Car says they do a multi point inspection, but I don’t think they do anything after purchasing the car from auction!

This was my second time buying from Carvana. Everything was good the first time, though I did find that the car had been repainted and the painters had not removed the masking tape from the bottom of the car and there was a little over spray. No big deal. This time I had a couple issues. First, I received a call from the finance department who told me that they could not approve financing because I was behind on payments. To make a long story short, I was not behind on payments and the first Carvana associate was not very helpful. After confirming that my payment history was 100% on time, I called Carvana and got a representative called Henry who placed a 3 way call with the finance company so he could verify the payment history.
As for the car itself, the people who do the pre sale cleaning and maintenance really dropped the ball on this one. The oil filter is on top of the engine on this car and it was not properly tightened so it was leaking oil pretty badly. They used a cheap CarQuest filter anyway, so I removed it and installed a quality filter. It was a 10 minute and $10 fix, but not something that should have to be done immediately after buying a car. The exterior was dirty and had some kind of white material slung across it that required rubbing alcohol to remove, and it was covered in scratches. I spent some time washing, using clay bar, polishing, and waxing, and most of the scratches went away.
I feel like they should have put in a little more effort. The tan leather seats had several black scuffs that could be removed with some effort, but were not. The inside of the front windshield was so filthy that it was difficult to see while driving home the first evening. With all of these things, it tells me that the people in charge just don't care, or that they aren't given the time or resources needed to do a good job. Judging by some of the other cars I viewed, this is becoming a common issue.
The car history showed that it spent most of its life up north. The listing and pictures did not mention that the car has a good amount of rust all throughout the undercarriage from road salt. I don't see any major deterioration, but the majority of the underside of the car is covered in surface rust. Honestly I like the convenience of Carvana, but I don't think I can recommend them after this last purchase. I don't mind tinkering with things, but a car should never need this much attention right after purchase

Upon receiving the car it appeared that it was not washed. Not a big deal until I washed the car myself a couple of days later and then I noticed a small chip, in the front windshield. The car listed one imperfection however once I had time to really look through the entire car I was disappointed to see a few more imperfections. Around both front mirrors the material is worn, scratched and stained. Glue still, on the front windshield. Driver's rear view mirror noticeably scratched.

Bought a 2020 Toyota Tundra from Carvana. Had to pay $2000 non refundable for a delivery fee, a delivery to a carvana store 110 miles away from my home. Upon arrival I noticed many areas of the vehicle had minor damage not listed online, 42 spots to be exact. 39 of which are what I would call minor wear I didn't care much about. 3 were bad enough I requested some sort of compensation. Mind you there were 3 spots mentioned online that were negligible. Since I already had spent the non refundable amount on delivery I decided to take the car home.
After having the carvana employee ensure me that he took pictures of the damage and documented them and that I could contact carvana to get it rectified. The 3 issues were 1 inside the door frame the paint was worn down in over a 6 inch area and the 2 others were rim damage that looked like someone hit a curb. All thing not mentioned or shown online. After contacting carvana about the issues they told me if I didn't like it return the vehicle. I didn't want to do this since I would be out the 2k for the delivery as well as their policy is anything over 400 miles after pickup is $1 a mile if the vehicle is returned. After trying my case again and pleading my case of paying over 52k for a truck I was told the same thing.
According to them all this damage was normal wear and tear and if I didn't like it return it. I feel this is unacceptable especially since over half my "7 day trial" miles would have been just to drive it home and back to the dealer location. This would have resulted in me paying more money for damages they never listed. I paid for all the premium extra coverages and now feel as if I have just been taken advantage of. Granted yes I probably should have never drove the vehicle off the lot but I was already well vested in this truck. I also was told the truck would be delivered on Nov 4th then to be told it was delayed 4 extra days and would arrive Nov 9th. How can I be charged 2k for a delivery up front then get nothing back when they don't hold up their end.
As they already had my money when I reached out about this issue they gave a similar response. In short, sorry... deal with it. You will not be given any compensation for a delayed delivery. Overall I do not recommend carvana. Customer service has been atrocious and their vehicle descriptions are deceitful. If for some off reason you do plan on using them never pay for a delivery fee find something else and make sure you expect way more damage than what is listed. Then and only then will you maybe not be disappointed.

This organization is openly and unapologetically fraudulent. They misrepresented the vehicle I purchased and then tried to hide it. My only recourse was $500 or the option to purchase a different vehicle within three business days due to it being a holiday week...as if I would even consider being rushed into the purchase of another vehicle after they falsely advertised the first one. Save all purchase documentation including a screenshot or hard copy of the listing for the vehicle you purchase at the time of purchase in a safe location offline. That way when they change the listing and tell you you're mistaken about what the listing said you'll have proof.
I purchased a vehicle based on the options listed at the time of purchase. I paid for the vehicle as listed. During the seven day return period I realized the vehicle didn't have several of the safety options the listing claimed it possessed. This company does not make any effort to find out about the vehicles they're selling. It took less than twenty-four hours for them to confirm with the manufacturer that the vehicle in question did not have the options advertised and which should have influenced the purchase price.
Long story short, after many hours of my time and aggravation attempting to jump through the hoops of their "warranty process", being treated as though I were an idiot and being offered other lesser vehicles I find myself with no recourse but the Attorney General's office in my state. I can't discourage you strongly enough from purchasing a vehicle from this business. I don't know how their employees sleep at night knowingly defrauding vehicle buyers

I recently attempted to purchase a vehicle through Carvana, and the experience has been nothing short of a nightmare. What started as an exciting process quickly turned into a frustrating ordeal due to poor communication and lack of accountability on Carvana’s part. First, I encountered issues with a trade-in because the car was not in my girlfriend’s name, which I completely understood. However, when I asked to proceed without the trade-in, I was told I had to restart the contracts and couldn’t pick up the car that same day, despite the vehicle already being at the location and ready. Instead of accommodating me, I was forced to wait until the next day.
I decided to schedule home delivery to avoid further inconvenience, only to have it delayed again with no consultation or respect for my schedule. When I called to address the issue, I was given inconsistent excuses. The most absurd reason for the delay was that the car needed to be detailed and prepped, even though it should have been ready two days earlier when I first went to pick it up.
To add insult to injury, I was initially promised a $100 apology check after receiving the car. After working with a representative named Spencer to switch back to a pickup option, I was informed that the $100 check was no longer valid because the contracts were changed. The constant apologies and lack of real solutions made it clear that the call center has no authority to resolve customer concerns effectively.
This process has been unnecessarily complicated and unprofessional, with Carvana failing to deliver on their promises. I’m extremely disappointed with the lack of accountability, communication, and customer service. I hope to finally pick up my car tomorrow, but this entire experience has left me questioning whether I’d ever recommend Carvana to anyone.

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

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

Carvana made the car buying experience super easy. The website was very easy to navigate and purchasing my new car took less than 30 minutes. The delivery driver was AMAZING as well. Super easy transaction from start to finish! 100% would recommend! Definitely beats sitting at a dealership for hours!

We are happy with the vehicle we purchased from Carvana (Mustang Mach-E). However, they came at the very end of the delivery window, which meant we took delivery in the dark and their representative did not go over the car with us or give us any kind of orientation. Because of this, we did not realize certain equipment had not been included. For example, the tires have locking lug nuts and Carvana did not provide us with the key.
When I took the car in for its first service last week, the Ford dealership could not rotate the tires because they can't unlock the lug nuts. When we reached out to Carvana, we were told tough luck and that we should have read the contract more closely. I did not even know locking lug nuts was a thing! How would I know to ask if they provided that key? How do you sell a person a car without everything needed for ongoing use and maintenance? They refused to make good or reimburse us. Deeply disappointed in this level of service when it would have been so easy to make right.

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

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

I rarely leave a 1 star view but this was one of the most frustrating experiences I ever had. I have purchased vehicles from Carvana in the past and had no issues but I decided I was going to trade in my Nissan Frontier for a Ford Maverick. Purchased it and everything was approved on Election day Nov. 5th (Tuesday) and they said they could deliver it that Saturday. I get an email the next day Nov. 6th that the truck arrived at one of the facilities. Friday morning the 8th I get an email giving me steps for the delivery and trade in. That afternoon I get another email stating that my appointment has been delayed and was scheduled the following Saturday the 16th. I reached out wondering why it got delayed and said it was an issue with getting it registered. Disappointed but I figured maybe the truck didn't arrive in enough time in my state and nearby facility to get it registered.
Fast forward to the following Thursday, November 14th I reached out to make sure everything was still on track and I was told yes. Later that night I get another email stating that my delivery has been delayed once again and was pushed back to Monday the 18th. I decided to call and figure out what is going on. All I got was them reading the exact email that they sent me with no explanation to why it's taking almost 2 weeks for them to get me my truck and why they are having issues registering with the State. Instead of them trying to get to the bottom of it, I was pushed to cancel my order and purchase another truck. I told them to cancel my order and refund me my down payment because this is ridiculous and that if I went in person to a dealership it doesn't take them this long to register the vehicle with the state.
I'm more frustrated with how Carvana handled this situation. No transparency and was like they didn't care. Didn't even offer to do anything to make right of this situation. As I write this review on November 20th almost a week after I canceled the order, they have yet to relist the Ford Maverick that I was trying to purchase. I will no longer go through Carvana to purchase a vehicle after this and will go to my local dealership and give them my business.

3rd time customer and will not be using Carvana again based on their lack caring to fix the issues cause by transport company. Purchased car and in imperfections only showed couple of scratches. Drove 2 hours to trade in my car and pick up this one at the vending machine in San Antonio Texas.. The inside of the car is very dirty and will have to spend my own money to have it cleaned right. Smears and smudges on all glass and dashboard. Food etc. under seats. Stains on carpet that CAN be removed if they would have tried.
Then we look at car and the hauler did not cover and there are small rock chips on the hood, windshield and side mirrors that must have occurred during shipping from Florida to San Antonio Texas. Pointed out to associate. She took pictures and said, "Don't worry. I'll file a report and Carvana will get it fixed." And agreed that it must have been during shipping because was not on the damage in the listing. She never filed the report after we left. So, after me spending few hours on the phone talking to 4 different people who seemed to care and promised a call back to let me know what is going to happen.
As of today, I have not heard from anyone other than your warranty people Silver rock telling me that they aren't going to fix the damage because it's acceptable cosmetic damage, and if it's windshield damage I need to spend more $ and file with my insurance company even though Carvana caused this damage to the vehicle during shipping which I paid over $1200 to ship. This experience has been horrible and Carvana tells you how much they care that you are happy with your purchase, but it is all talk and NO ACTION. And again, this will be my last Carvana purchase and hope by putting this out on social media outlets I can keep someone from getting the same treatment I have received from Carvana.
I will wait to share this on social media for one week to give Carvana time to respond or try to remedy this situation. I'm not taking the time to add any images as the associate took pictures of the damage before I left, and I was told they weren't detailed enough so just shows you how much she cared about helping me. Guess that's why I felt like just another # while I was there at the vending machine.

Putting mine and my family's lives in danger driving this vehicle. The closest repair facility to me is an hour away from my house. To drive this far to a facility to have this fixed and repaired is dangerous to drive this vehicle with these issues.

For anyone that needs a car and are having problems buying one I highly recommend Carvana. My reasons: I had originally purchased a 2019 KIA Soul through Drivetime, I thought that I was getting a great deal. It turns out that I was paying close to $20,000 for a car only worth at best according to my insurance comp. only $9000.00. I found out that I was paying 40% interest rate the rest of the cash is going for interest! I understand that if you really don’t have excellent credit, it’s difficult to get that no money down and low interest rate.
Recently an incident had occurred I was without a car. I tried to go to a local dealer, however, with circumstances being what they were, the dealer couldn’t help me. I thought, why not give Carvana a try. Within an hour or so after my application I was approved for a 2010 Subaru Forester with only 94,000 mileages. I will inform that there was a low-down payment, however, the price and my payments are within my budget. While I was paying close to $600 to Bridgecrest, my new car payments are half of that. Although, I only had my car from Carvana for only a week, so far, I'm quite pleased with the performance and comfort of my car.

Overall Experience: The overall sales process was very smooth and quick. Response times for approval and follow-up on documents were excellent, which I really appreciated. Room for Improvement: The one downside was the condition of the vehicle at delivery. It seemed as though the previous owner and their children had just exited the vehicle. The exterior was dusty, and the interior had sticky windows in the backseat. It would have been great if someone had taken the extra time to ensure the car was clean and presentable. Final Thoughts: Aside from needing to detail my own "new" ride, I was satisfied with my experience and would definitely consider purchasing from you again!

Mostly a good experience. Here are the negatives: Car was advertised as no transport fee. This was later revised to say, yes, there js a transport fee. Was told I would get the car the day after signing the purchase agreement. This was revised to a few days later. I believe the issue was that the car was not in town, however, that was Carvana‘s mistake. This added $300 to the cost for me, and an additional wait to receive the car. There was only one smart key. I think this should be made clear at the time of purchase, and a plus would be offering to provide a second key at an additional charge. Time frame promised for delivery of car was 2-5 pm. It arrived at about 6:15 PM. The delivery person did call to let me know it would be late, but he didn’t call till about 5:30 pm. This is my second Carvana purchase.

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.

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.

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 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.)

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.

I've never used Carvana before, but I am THRILLED as a 1st timer! I had unexpected transmission issues and was forced to make a (quick) decision to repair my old vehicle or purchase a new one. Carvana allowed me to shop vehicles from the comfort of my phone and the product I chose was true to the description. I was able to enter limited details for pre-approval and find a vehicle within my budget and various other search criteria. You can change the money down and monthly payment amount to what suits you individually. There was no haggling and the vehicle was delivered to my front door in less than a week! Paperwork was done simply and electronically and Carvana kept me informed every step of the way. I am now in my new Civic and LOVE IT! I have no complaints and highly recommend using Carvana!!! Amazing from beginning to end! I almost can't believe it!

Very unprofessional with the entire financing process. They put you in a 30 minutes questionary. Very confusing and if you don’t answer quickly they block you for 6 months. I know they lack on a lot of other things since I am investigating on the BBB, but this is too much. Spend 1 thousand more but get treated nicely for a real dealership..

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.

Actual delivery was easy peasy....getting it scheduled and keeping the appointment was the difficult part. Y'all gotta figure a way to make this easier especially the checking to see if one manner of delivery was better than another in terms of scheduling. Having to give up one to check to see if the other method had any openings was bad. Horrible experience.

I've purchased vehicles through Carvana before, but don't know if I will again. I ordered 1st vehicle which was delivered with A LOT of damage which was never disclosed. I sent it back and ended up paying more $$ for another vehicle. Carvana showed the vehicle as black. When delivered, it was clearly NOT BLACK, but dark metallic blue. And this vehicle also had damage that was never disclosed. I'm now having to go through Silver Rock to get these wheels ordered and replaced. Vehicle also has several scratches and small dents, but your web site will not let me put ALL the damage in the system. Terrible experience this time. To make it worse, you charged me again to have the vehicle delivered which makes no sense. Why did I have to pay for a car being delivered again when it's Carvana's fault for sending me a vehicle with damage that was not disclosed.

My wife and I have purchased 2-vehicles from Carvana, a truck in 2016, and an SUV in September 2024. The experiences couldn't be more different. The first was a great experience, which is why we went with them again a few months ago. 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.

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".

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Run fast, bought a car. Delayed delivery 7 times, got car. Did not even drive it 200 miles and fluid all over ground. Got it to repair facility. Again out a car. Have to pay for a ride to work now. So I can pay for the car that's broke. NO WAY. THEY DID A 150 POINT INSPECTION. Front needs 4-6K dollars worth of work. Service Due light is on. Right rear tire low past passing point. Both sides of the a-frame front are wore out completely. Battery is only 32% good. Have not even had the car 70 days and my wife Now does not trust us to go on vacation in CAR.. BAD BUSSINESS. I feel sorry for SilveRock that has to deal with the customers that Carvana makes all these promise and at the end a horrific transaction that I will let everyone know that asks me.

I must say this had to be the best experience buying a car ever. No pressure. No fast talking salesman. Nothing. Just remarkable informed people on your end explaining everything that had to be done. What a dream. Easy. No hassle. I told guys here at work my experience. They said next time they are ready to buy a car they would go thru Carvana. No lie. From the paperwork to the on time delivery of the car what a breeze. I can't thank you enough. It has and will be from now one way I will always buy my cars. The car is beautiful just as you describe from the looks to any if ever so small imperfections. All was explained up front and truthful. Thank you so very much!!!!

My experience with Carvana was awesome. The truck was everything it was said to be, just like the pictures, very easy company to talk to, customer service was fantastic. I would definitely recommend Carvana to all my friends and family. Most definitely a 20/10 with quality, service, warranty, price and easy to work with.

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?

First of all, let me say that when buying a car I wasn’t considering an online process however I had a specific car I was looking for and couldn’t find it anywhere. Carvana had the car so I decided to initiate a purchase. All I can tell you is this process was so much better than I anticipated. My new Volkswagen Golf R was as advertised. Carvana‘s warranty company SilverRock also gets a five star review. Two days after my car arrived, a replace brake pad light came on. I engaged Silverrock, received a no deductible Authorized claim to repair the car. Fantastic customer service! Also kudos to the Carvana website. It’s easy to navigate and seamless in its process. Would absolutely consider using Carvana again.

Zero stars. The worst customer service I have ever encountered. Wasted hours and hours of my time with redirected phone calls, hang-ups, false promises and faulty cars. Cars were delivered damaged, extremely difficult to get anywhere with phone attendants and AI assistants. Stay far away.

My experience with Carvana has been absolutely horrible. My husband and I were trying to purchase an SUV and trade in our current car. Every time we submitted a document we were called and told we needed something else. Whenever we would call and talk to someone, they would tell us something different from the last person. 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. They make it too difficult.

Carvana is a joke. We have purchased 7 vehicles from Carvana. We found a different vehicle before any transportation or anything was done to the corvette ordered. We changed to a Land Rover. Delivery on both of these vehicles was weeks away. They refused to refund the shipping fee because it was not within 24 hours. It was 48. The customer service team was rude and provided little assistance. The manager sent me a response and immediately disconnected himself when I asked for reconsideration. I have a law degree and will be seeking remedies so others are not taken advantage of by this company. They will be headed down the same path as Vroom with these Business practice. I implore you do not give this company your money. They don’t care about their customers, only stealing your money.

I was very pleased with my experience. You did everything you said you would do, accurately and on time. The ability to text for assistance was HUGE! I wish I’d had a list of all the requirements (proof of insurance) prior to starting the purchase/trade-in process. I would also like to have known about the delivery charge for bringing it to my door BEFORE I had to choose pickup or delivery.
