Caravan offered me a fair deal that I accepted except the payoff amount on my loan was a bit high as I checked with my credit union. I went in to correct the error and resubmitted my trade. The new offer dropped by $2400. The payoff difference was only $176. They said they could not recover the original offer. I complained and they escalated to an advocate that said they would honor the original offer. Waited... Waited... and no update. They then changed their collective minds and said "no' can't change the lowball offer. Then charged and kept the $690 shipping charge. You can't believe what they tell you!!! Do not trust these unscrupulous "advocates."

Car was delivered with marginal brakes and tires. As these are "wear" items, SilverRock would do nothing. I don't expect new brakes and tires on a used car, but I won't tolerate a used car needing replacements immediately. I like the car and would keep it if Carvana issued a partial refund, but I am returning it.

This is my second Carvana purchase. I absolutely LOVE the convenience. Finding the car I'm looking for online is easy. I had very specific criteria and found the perfect car. Getting the car is even easier! I'll never go back to a used car dealer, and I'm thrilled about that.

From the beginning to the end, Carvana made the buying experience simple. From the financing to delivery. I was kept informed and walked thru the process. The day of delivery the driver was very informative and helped guide me through the process. I did have a crack in the windshield but that was taken care of within a week at no cost to me. I would highly recommend to anyone who is looking to purchase a vehicle to give Carvana a try. I will definitely be making another purchase from Carvana in the future.

I bought a car and checked for the disclosed damage. No mention of windshield damage. During delivery I got a call to tell me the windshield was chipped and they would replace as it was not mentioned in vehicle listing. They waited until after the 7 day period and refused to replace it. They also delivered the car without any coolant. I had a great 5 year experience with Carmax and highly recommend them instead of Carvana, who seemingly could care less.

Car was delivered a week late. Previous owner rattle caned/spray painted entire front bumper/air dam. DIY repair. Bumper needs to be sanded, repainted, and clear coated. Will have to pay for repairs out of pocket. Front of car looks bad and is very noticeable. Silver Rock said, "Sorry for you." Damage is hard to see in pictures but stands out in person.

I was a little nervous about the whole process, but it was very easy, very fast, and the best truck buying experience I have ever had. I completed my trade in and purchase at the vending machine rather than at my home, and I regret doing that due to how simple the process was. I could have saved myself a trip. Fair price for my trade in and a fair price for the truck I purchased. The communication from Carvana was so good that it was almost annoying how clear and often they communicated.

Do not buy a car from Carvana. My husband and I made a mistake buying a car from this place, trusting them that they will give us a decent car but that wasn’t the case!!! I bought a 2016 BMW i3 with them and when I drove it off the lot, the AC was blowing hot air. Carvana fixed it for us but then when I brought it home after three days later of it being at the mechanic, I fully charge it and it only gave me 52 miles on it. Mind you, it’s supposed to be 153 miles on fully charged. I call Carvana and they send me back to the same mechanic. The mechanic keeps the car overnight and next day calls me to let me know that they don’t even work with electric cars so he doesn’t know much about it but definitely know that something is wrong with the battery and that we have to take it to the BMW dealership.
No disrespect to the mechanic but Carvana doesn’t know their own mechanics and what their capacity is. I asked Carvana to give me extension on seven day return period because I’m trying to clean up their mess but they told me they cannot give me the extension but will swap the car with another car. Now if you are in your right mind, you will not trust this company with another purchase. After trying to call Carvana multiple times and getting nowhere with it, I decided to return the car. I will NEVER in my entire life will go buy a car from Carvana and I will tell all my family, friends and people I know not to make that mistake. Just go give your money to some private party than these leaching company who is only interested in your money. Horrible, horrible experience!!!

BUYER BEWARE!!! That big car tower you see off the 405 is actually a giant lemon tree! Carvana's crooked business model is selling broken cars to people and hope they can't figure it out before the 7 day return period. Fortunately for us, the problems with our car were immediately apparent. Driving it off the lot to home we realized the AC didn't work. When we got it home we called Carvana to tell them, and the representative was very friendly and apologized and let us know we could take it to an authorized auto shop to have it inspected and repaired. So now we have to go driving around getting their car fixed for them, but hey, my wife Loves the car, and we figure if we get the AC fixed it's good to go. No biggie. Unfortunately this was not the case as further obvious problems with the car began to show up.
It's worth noting that the friendly representative lied to us on the phone, assuring us that Carvana does a full 200 point inspection on all their cars before selling them. A child could tell the AC wasn't working sitting in it for 1 minute, and the other problems were also obvious to anyone with no mechanical background. No inspection was ever done, and I highly doubt anyone even sat in the car once before selling it to us.
The other, and far more crucial problem was that the battery for this EV only held about 45 miles range on a full charge. Again, if anyone had sat in the car even once this would have been obvious by just glancing at the dashboard. When we called about this they told us to take it back to the mechanic. So more time, money and stress wasted trying to fix their mistake with no accountability for the hassle they caused on their end.
After taking it to the mechanic he said we had to contact BMW and take it to a dealership to get tested. The dealership said they would charge us $550 for the inspection of the battery and would only replace it if they decided it was bad enough. Of course, we all know they will say it's not bad enough, and we will be stuck losing $550 and more time and stress trying to fix Carvana's mistake.
Still, we tried to play nice and asked for another extension for our 7 day return period because we were trying to fix their negligence and hadn't gotten a chance to try out the car at all. They told us no, as if the extensions they had given us were a favor to us and they were not going to do it again. The audacity of these companies! Zero accountability.
After this we threw in the towel and will be returning the car. We wasted so much time and went through so much stress for nothing. This car was a gift for my wife, and she was so excited and now is so disappointed. Carvana could not care less and will likely just sell the car off to the next poor buyer. That's why I'm writing this review: so no one else has to go through all this. DO NOT BUY FROM CARVANA! THE ABSOLUTE WORST EXPERIENCE I'VE HAD WITH ANY COMPANY EVER!

I first purchased a 2014 Jeep Cherokee Limited before me and my brother can pull out the lot. We felt a jerk a hard jerk come to find out the whole suspension. The bottom is messed up so they told us that we can return it and purchase some different which and we purchased some different purchase 2016 jeep Cherokee Limited. When I finally came we drove it OK. It was pretty pretty cool at first day as I go to press on the brace, I hear rumbling on the brakes OK so at that point now I knew something is bad so I looked at. I seen that the rotors was messed up. Brakes messed up so I called.
I called them so I can get it sent into one of Repair facilities, took it to one of the pair repair facilities. They did a Dynox on it and they sent Silver Rock everything that’s wrong with underneath the bottom of it going back-and-forth for silver rock and Carvana, trying to upload pictures and pictures to him that they can say that they never got them when they finally got the pictures. The adjuster said that they are not going to cover anything on underneath that truck. That they will cover is the brakes and that only way that they will cover the brakes if that they get them at a discount price. They won’t even pay for the alignment, the upper control bar, the sway bar or any of that and I got the truck on Aug 29, 2024

Comparing vehicles and setting up financing was super easy. I felt very good about my choice and the process of buying was easy.... Kind of. After I hit the buy button, I signed the SSA document I was supposed to. The email I got and the website clearly says that I gotta carry insurance before delivery. Well that's just it though. Before delivery but no immediate deadline, so I set my car delivery for Wednesday making a mental note to sign up for insurance on Monday. I didn't know it apparently had to be within 24 hours because it never said so, so I missed the first deadline. OK fair enough I guess? I set up the new delivery date and I'm not sure what happened but the insurance didn't take and while I did notice before the 24 hour deadline, I did manage to redo it before 24 hours but I was told I missed the deadline, again.
Same thing when it came to signing the papers for the delivery of the car. It says right on the website, to make it a paper free experience sign before the driver arrives. I wasn't too sure about signing papers before seeing the car so I didn't sign. Well I got a call from the driver insinuating that he wasn't gonna be able to drop off the car before I sign. So it's required then? Why not just tell me that instead. The driver was great though. Super chill guy who wasn't in a hurry and went over everything with me. The delivery itself was probably the best experience I've had in buying a car from anywhere.
The day after I noticed a few scratches in the car that had not been mentioned or pictured on the website. I notified Carvana and their response was that a used car will have wear and tear and they will not be doing anything about it. While I understand that, it's not a fair practice to tell me and show me that the car has some scratches (not caught by a fingernail) before purchase and not tell me about the much bigger and deeper scratches after the fact. They managed to find and take a picture of the barely seen scratches on the hood of the car but not the 2 and 3 inch long scratches on both sides of the car that goes through the paint? While only cosmetic, I would like to know what I'm buying since I paid $690 for it to be delivered.... Seems more like it was purposely overlooked in the hopes that the shipping fee was enough of a discouragement to send it back. Lucky for you, it was.

I had doubts when ordering from Carvana, but my local dealerships didn't have a great used car inventory so I decided to take the chance. Everything from the browsing, ordering, and communicating with Carvana customer service was surprisingly easy. I feel confident with the Carvana protection and Plus protection I purchased. My vehicle, a 2021 VW Tiguan, was delivered and seemed to be in great shape. However, less than 4 hours after being delivered it rained and water entered the car through the front windshield. Upon inspection, we noticed whoever installed the windshield did a TERRIBLE job. It was missing sealant in places, and plastic and metal components that held the trim in place are bent. Of course Carvana customer service said that this would not be covered because "it had to be reported to the advocate at the time of drop off." Thankfully, the car received a full bill of health from a dealer inspection.
Really, I almost had a perfect experience with Carvana, but the dishonesty about the windshield and lack of willingness to fix it only hours after it being dropped off was disappointing and left me with mixed feelings. Simply put, I feel like they covered up the windshield issue just enough so that we wouldn't notice. It's hard to say if this was an unfortunate accident or a continuous pattern from Carvana. This being said, I would consider ordering from Carvana again; however, I would recommend taking your time and really looking over the car well. Maybe even take it to a mechanic to get checked out while the advocate is at your house, just to be sure.

My delivery was delayed 3 times. I had the hardest time getting any assistance on the holdup in delivery. I was worried I was getting a lemon since I was told it wouldn’t pass state inspection and that’s exactly what I got. It has been a full two weeks and the transmission is slipping and the front axles need repair which is even longer I will be without a vehicle while bring repairs. I’m not happy with my experience at all.

This is our 3rd vehicle purchased with Carvana and although the process of purchasing this latest vehicle went very smoothly I was not impressed with the level of assistance available about vehicle specifics prior to the sale. Basically we had to wait and see what tires were on the vehicle and condition as well. They state 4/32's is acceptable to which I accept but 2 of the tires were right at the limit and 2 were not even a match. I tried to get this information prior to delivery but got a run around from chatbots and a customer assistant who was unhelpful at best.
Took delivery and went right to the local Kia dealer for inspection. Found dirty oil, air filter, cabin filter and ripped wiper blades. NOT the level of service I have come to expect from Carvana based on previous experience but the overall condition of the vehicle still warrants keeping it as the pictures both inside/out were spot on. No funky smells or hidden damages so very pleased wth that. Not thrilled about the additional $1500 in repairs for things that should really have been taken care of and not impressed with customer services willingness or ability to get specific details of the vehicles prior to taking delivery. That said, overall I will still consider working with Carvana in the future but will wait and see.

The Carvana purchase experience was seamless, BUT the car itself was not in as great of condition as I expected when I picked it up. The car was dirty, the tires were all over the place in terms of air pressure causing the warning lights to be on, water spots on the windows, gas tank was half full, etc. I feel like the cleaning was minimal and could have easily been remedied. After getting into the vehicle, I had to immediately go to a place for air to adjust the tires (one way too high and others very low). This did NOT make me feel good about the vehicle I had just purchased and also made me wonder what else was wrong. Not a great experience for very basic things.

I myself am surprised with the bad experience, as 4 of family members have sold their car through Carvana in the past and had a more than satisfactory experience. However for me that wasn't the case. To start, I was surprised to be charged $90 for them to pick up my car when all 4 family members didn't have to pay when it was being picked up at the same address. However I did consider the fact it may be a new thing so I accepted it. But after submitting all the information and documents I was emailed saying I needed a new title with a valid address, I contacted customer service and they said the address was indeed valid and to just upload the title again.
After doing so the fee to pick up my car at the same address increased $190. I scheduled my car pickup between 5pm-8pm. I received a text around 12pm saying they were on the way and were going to be there between 1:45 and 2pm. So because I have to be there when they arrive to provide the documents and give the keys, I had to leave work early.
When the person came to pick it up I asked him what the point of choosing a appointment time was if they’re just going to come when they want and his response was “my boss called and told me to leave now because we’re short staffed.” So not only did I have to pay a $190 pick up fee (which the person picking up my car even said was an absurd increase), I had to leave work and miss out on making money. Completely unfair to myself and my work just because they were “short staffed.” Don’t give the customer an option for a pickup time if you’re not going to follow it.

I live in a really rural area and it’s hard to get to the city to car shop. I also work full time as a nurse and am going back to school full time for my Master's degree, along with being a full time mom and wife. Carvana allowed me to find my dream car from the comfort of my home without having to haggle with annoying salesman or asking my husband to step in and help play defense for me. I was able to feel safe and secure with the process without worrying if I was being taken advantage of. Every car I looked at from Carvana was top notch and in excellent condition. The process was beyond easy and convenient! The delivery driver was awesome and showed up exactly as promised and was very professional and knowledgeable in the process. They even register your vehicle for you so no long lines at the DMV!
The only complaint I have is that I wish Carvana was a little more transparent in their descriptions of the vehicles. I had descriptions and pictures of the car I bought, but when it arrived it was 100x better than I expected! I bought a 2018 Lincoln MKX. It was pretty in the pictures, but nearly perfect in real life! It’s in nearly brand new condition and so many amenities. I’m learning something new every time I drive it! I was so nervous to buy something so involved and important online, but I’ll never buy a car any other way again! I’ve been recommending Carvana to all my family, friends, and colleagues!!!

On or about August 15, 2024, I attempted to purchase a 2019 Dodge Challenger from Carvana. They almost immediately charged me a $690 delivery fee, which I had no problem with as I was attempting to purchase the car in good faith. After sending them reams of documents to establish my identity, address, and home ownership, they had a problem with our phone bill. Because my wife set up a family account, only my number appears on the bill, not my name. The wife's name and our address is on it (she was a co-signer), but this wasn't acceptable and they would no longer finance me. This is simply the way T-Mobile does their bills, there's hardly anything I can do about it. The "advocate" I was dealing with assured me on two separate occasions on the phone that this shipping fee would be refunded "as there would be no account to tie it to."
I waited until the 22nd of August and chatted via their website to another "advocate" named Tyler, who apologized for the refund not automatically going through and that it would be put in manually. I have a screenshot of his message. Now today, 4 September, I contacted a different person as there is still no refund and was informed that as the order was canceled at about 27 hours after I started the process (due mainly to them stringing me along with requests for more documents), I don't get my money back. In a nutshell, I have been charged a shipping fee for something that never shipped. It wasn't even supposed to arrive for another week anyway, it isn't like the car had been loaded on a truck. This being over their 24 hour deadline wasn't my fault, and charging me nearly $700 for nothing is outright theft. Do not have any dealings with these people, they are crooks.

The search and purchase portion of my order was effortless. The pickup went smoothly. But, the instant I took possession of the vehicle and noticed some non-disclosed issues requiring repair, Carvana wiped their hands off me and passed me over to their insurer, SilverRock, who proceeded to dismiss almost every concern except for faulty brakes. Despite spending over $23k on my vehicle, I’m out an additional +$1k (so far) for necessary repairs, including keeping rear windows attached to the vehicle, replacing windshield wipers and a cabin air filter. I will never purchase another vehicle from Carvana and would not recommend that anyone else does either.

Our first vehicle had a whine so we took it to the local dealer as it was still under full warranty. The rear differential was damaged due to improper towing so fortunately we were able to take advantage of the 7 day return and reselect. Due to this, we had to take a second loan from our bank as it was a new vehicle/VIN. The swap was made 8 days ago and my bank statement still shows I have two loans as the bank is awaiting return of the money on the first car. Not acceptable in this day and age.

This was my second Carvana purchase and it was a total disappointment compared to the first. There were numerous unreported cosmetic issues with the car ranging from a torn driver's seat to paint damage. None of which would SilverRock agree to repair.

The process overall is super easy! From beginning until end Carvana was much better than sitting in a car dealership for hours! Unfortunately the first vehicle I received had to be returned due to the computer screen not working the day after I received it. We had it looked at and apparently the issue couldn’t be resolved. We had to replace it with another wagoner which was very inconvenient but at least there was the 7 day money back guarantee.

Do not waste your time selling your vehicle here. I was given a quote one day, then the quote was decreased by $400.00 when I signed the acceptance.

Car was at Firestone a total of 4 days the day after I received it. Then had to take it to Precision for power steering leak. Said they cannot fix it.
Now I have to find someone else along with still waiting for Gerber Collision to get back to me. When I received my contract I called Carvana because gap was not added. They added it. But they did not add the premium warranty gave me the power train only. I requested upgrade several times and to SilverRock. I am very upset that a Mercedes was not properly inspected prior to delivery though it states it had an 150 point inspection and I did not get the premium warranty. It was and is unsafe to drive. Though I have new tires now. But couldn’t pick the vehicle up from Firestone until the 7 th day. Both collision places said vehicle has been in accident yet I was not informed of any damage. I’ve missed work trying to get my car to several places for repairs.
I have photos from the moment the car was dropped in my driveway. I barely have a 100 miles that I’ve put on the car and it’s from driving back and forth to repair shops.

This is the third vehicle our family has purchased and by far the most disappointing. Website only showed one flaw on the exterior. When it arrived there were multiple flaws in the paint and every wheel had been curbed and damaged. The only reason I didn’t send the car back was it was the color and had the options I wanted.

What a great car buying experience! So simple and fast. Everything done with just a few clicks on your phone. No lines, no waiting at the dealership for three hours while they try to sell you extra warranties you don’t want. They deliver right to your home. Friendly service and always available by phone if you have questions. I will buy all my future vehicles through Carvana.

The buying process was so easy I thought there had to be some sort of catch, but there wasn’t. I don’t think I’ll ever buy a car at a dealership again. The car was in fantastic condition. Took it to my mechanic during the 7-day trial window and everything checked out.

Carvana sold us a car that still had a lien on it. They offered zero in the way of placing us in a new vehicle and did not verbally communicate that the vehicle could not be registered. Carvana communicated instead via email that WE had a lien with the state of Arizona and that is why there were registration issues. The lien was on the prior owner not us. Since then when we told them we would rather just return the vehicle their communication has been worse. They scheduled a vehicle pickup, we waited at home all day just to be told that it was rescheduled to two days later. You cannot escalate calls - there’s no director of customer service and the 48 hour turn around time to escalate an issue is utter BS. I will never purchase a vehicle from them again and will warn everyone we know to steer clear of Carvana

Overall, I was satisfied with the whole process. It was relatively easy and I'm very happy with the car. There were just a couple of little things that took the joy out of getting it:
- A throbbing noise from the undercarriage of the car (which our mechanic fixed by tightening the loose lug nuts on one of the wheels.)
- A quick note here -- I paid for the diagnosing and fixing the lug nuts out of pocket because the nearest mechanic participating in their warrant network was 30 minutes away.
- The floor mats pictured with the car were not delivered with the car. I have been promised a $100 rebate (which did not cover the replacement floor mats which I have now, in essence, bought twice.) I would hope that Carvana could keep track of the detachable parts of the car and make sure they are included when delivered!
Having said that, everybody I worked with was very pleasant and Carvana is taking care of the registration and sending the license plates when done, which is awesome! Those little problems in their process execution (which did not cost me very much to fix, but still...) took this from a 5-star review to a just-satisfied review.

Had issue with rear tag. Correct hardware was not provided. Took to recommended (by Carvana) repair shop only for them to make it worse. A few days later the oil light came own. Again had to go through SilverRock which recommended repair shops with 1 and 2 stars on Google reviews. Told them I wasn't taking it to a auto shop that wasn't certified to work on European cars. Only 1 available and it was 30 mins away.

The transaction was mostly good except for the trade-in. I processed the trade in online and started looking for a car to purchase on Carvana. I processed the purchase and used the trade-in amount towards the purchase. Two days after purchase transaction Carvana sent me an email and said that my trade-in was worth $1000 less and they withdrew around $1200 from my checking account without any reasoning. I spent the next three days and about 6 hours speaking with many departments to finally get the trade-in resolved. All this could have been avoided. This is when I realized that it's near impossible to talk with a human at Carvana and when you do, they constantly send you to wrong department.

I absolutely love the vehicle - it is practically brand new based off the care that was taken to it. The communication in the buying process was constant, but sometimes confusing - with every required item uploaded, there was a new deadline in a very short turnaround, and one of the deadlines changed from the original date to an email I received that said it was past due and the whole process was cancelled. This obviously caused me to panic and a quick call resulted in apologies and everything is fine/on schedule. In all, easier to buy online than in person but it was a stressful week even for an extremely Type A organized person. But again, I couldn't love the car any more and I never thought I would get exactly what I wanted so quickly.

My experience with Carvana was a mixed bag. The night of ordering, there were tech issues with scheduling pick up. That was resolved quickly thankfully. My primary issue was with the AI assist bot. It gave incorrect information a few times, confirmed by an agent who was placing a ticket for the incident. He also said a ticket was already out in. Once I was handling the remainder of the sale with a person, who was able to verify my documents the experience was great. Delivery went well, and I'm happy with the purchase. For me, I think speaking with a person during the document review and upload process would make for a better experience overall. I had to have an exception made in my case, as I have no documents in the first list (which is required) but had proof via my cosigner of address. I cannot remember the agent's name, but he was extremely helpful, kind, and responsive with my questions and concerns. So shout out to him.

There is almost no human interaction. When talking to one of the staff members through the messaging app it takes minutes to respond and they talk like robots. Not once did I get a response that sounded like someone was actually talking to me. When you tell Carvana there is an issue with the car they just send you to a shop.

Second, it was not disclosed that the car had non stock parts on it. The muffler was replaced with a muffler delete by the previous owner.

We have now purchased three vehicles from Carvana in the past six years. First car we purchased we had no issues. The next purchase was an Lexus NX. This is where it all went sideways. The Advocate knew nothing about the car. You could not even tell us the basic functions of the and features. As we discovered them he was as shocked as we were. He did not know how to mount a front license plate holder. The worst revelation was when we arrived home. The blind spot sensor was not working. Not to say when the button was pushed nothing happened. When I pushed the button a load buzz occurred with a message on the dash saying to take the car to the dealership for repair.
When I spoke with support I was told that the sensors are not part of the inspection. I asked if pushing all of the buttons in the cars was part of the inspection because this could not have been missed. The other issue is that only 1 of the 3 keys we received worked. I changed the batteries still nothing. We decided to return the car. We picked out a 2013 Toyota Highlander. We were supposed to pick it up on a Monday after selecting it on a Tuesday the previous week. I received a text message stating that the pick up was now changed to Wednesday. I received this text on Monday at around 1pm. 6 hours before our appointment time.
On Wednesday I went to pick up the car and there were several issues that were not noted on the vehicle profile. Missing trim with a residue left behind, a piece of the passenger side front door handle missing a cover piece, a substance on the interior of the back tailgate, the headlights were faded and dulled, radiator cover was missing over 6 fasteners and the seat are extremely wore and look awful. None of this was marked on the profile and even the advocate was a little shocked. Some are due to it being an older car, which I understand, but the missing door handle and the substances should have been resolved before I picked up the car. It needs to be a 200 pt inspection with 4 sets of eyes not just two in case something is missed. Overall it is a solid car and we are keeping it. Just frustrating from a company with a good reputation overall.

Carvana absolutely made the car-buying experience easy and enjoyable. There is definitely a cost associated with that, but I was willing to pay to get a relatively rare vehicle with low mileage.

It's upsetting they actually buff the car which the scratches were hidden. But they checked everything was checked off that everything was inspected.

I had become weary trying to find a good used car at a dealership when my brother said they got my sister's Mercedes through Carvana. When I started asking around, turns out lots of people I know had purchased cars from them. I had a specific target (Honda Accord Coupe) and it only took me about a month to find the one I wanted. They delivered earlier than I was scheduled and the employee was so nice and informative. My car is 10 yrs old, but you wouldn't know it. It's in excellent condition, drives like a dream and I would not trade it for the world. Bottom line, I will NEVER shop a car dealership again! These folks are so professional, deliver a stellar product (both vehicle and service) and I am sol!

I can’t find the order number but the VIN is **. Super long story short the experience was horrendous my delivery date got pushed back twice due to being given the wrong information about the format of a document that was needed I was promised callbacks that never happened I was given the round around and blind transferred to departments that couldn’t help with my request. My name was misspelled on my document and when I finally got to speak with a manager he admitted the error with the misspelling was the fault of Carvana and his solution was to cancel my order and resubmit it which would’ve resulted in an additional delay of my vehicle! It’s their fault and they wanted me to suffer the consequences of their mistakes then when I pressed him he offered to take $250 off the sticker cost which wouldn’t even cover shipping! It was insulting.
I was told I would receive a gift on delivery due to all of the mistakes that never happened. Either just lie after lie. No accountability. No one willing to take ownership and fix any of the issues I had. I came up with all the solutions for all the issues that came up during this process. Not one Carvana rep came up with a valid solution nor even offered anything viable. Would never recommend this car buying experience to anyone. I’d rather sit in a dealership and go back and forth for 5 hours instead of having to call Carvana every day for an entire week and still having a crappy experience.

Horrible experience, trading, and buying a car from Carvana. Not worth it, use another dealership. Just to be clear I am still in the process of trying to purchase my wife’s car. First off, they make you put the car on your insurance before you even have purchased it and have it in your possession. Next, even though the bank approves your loan for that specific vehicle, if the bank does not cut and mail the check within the time Carvana decides is appropriate, which for me was 2 days due to us ordering it on a weekend, they will cancel the delivery date and put the car back on the market for sale even though you have signed all the legal paperwork with your bank and your bank is in process of purchasing it.
You can even submit all the bank paperwork but they don’t care if the check has not been mailed. You will have to reorder the car which isn’t hard, but what if someone else starts to purchase that vehicle? It would be a huge pain to get ahold of your bank and cancel everything. The whole process is a headache. I don’t know if this is the Salt Lake dealership or just the Carvana Corporation. Carvana is the worst and not worth your time.

My buying experience was awful. I had been warned against making a purchase with Carvana but decided to give it a shot. For my purchase, I secured my own financing. Carvana required several underwriting steps - this was not the problem. They also assessed a deadline for each step. Rather than giving me a list of required steps to complete I was told each step one by one, only after the prior step cleared underwriting. In one case I submitted the required documents prior to the deadline of 9pm, that day. At 9:02pm I was notified that I had a new document requirement due that same day at 9:00pm. That is not a typo.
Immediately after, I was notified that I had exceeded the 9:00pm deadline for the new requirement and the car that was on hold for me was released back into regular inventory. I called, trying to understand what happened and if someone could see the error and make an adjustment to the deadline since there was no way I could meet a deadline that had already passed. I was informed that I could have more time to satisfy the new requirement and that my reserved vehicle would still be held for me but I would have to reschedule the delivery of my vehicle. After all requirements were met the second issue popped up. The day of delivery the driver called and asked if I had seen the car online. I told him, "Yes, I viewed the photos."
He sounded very concerned and sent me a video of the vehicle. In this video, he showed remarkable damage to the front bumper of the car - on both sides. In the online photos this appeared as a glare from the lights/flashed used to take the photos. Also in the online profile of the vehicle there were imperfections noted but this damage was not included. Finally in the 150 point inspection report it was documented that damages had been repaired to the front bumper of the car.
The damage this gentleman showed me was on the front bumper and definitely had not been repaired. He suggested that I find another vehicle. I did look online and in that moment could not find a replacement. I asked him to bring the vehicle so I could see the damage in person. I also asked him to check to see if Carvana would repair the damage since they indicated that they had on the 150 point inspection. He called a member of management who shared that Carvana would not repair the damage. I took delivery of the vehicle and immediately started looking for another comparable car.
I found one that evening or the next day and notified Carvana that I would be exchanging the vehicles. Since I secured my own financing I had to go through underwriting again. This second process was worse than the first. I spent 2-3 hours on the phone with various Carvana representatives trying to ensure the transaction went smoothly. Some reps were condescending, some seemed not to know policies that were stated by prior Carvana reps. My experience was most frustrating when dealing with Offshore reps. They seemed to have policies which conflicted with Reps who were "On shore".
When I finally cleared underwriting for the 2nd vehicle and went to pick it up the battery was almost completely drained. I was told that for EVs the battery would be at least 50% charged and for gas powered vehicles, they would have at least a half tank of gas. The first (damaged) vehicle I received was only charged to 32% on delivery. I picked up the second vehicle. It was only charged to 17%. I could not make it home on that charge. I talked with the staff at the pick up location. He said I could charge the car there but they have an extremely slow trickle charger. It would take over 12 hours to reach a level that would allow me to drive home.
In both instances (initial purchase and exchange) I paid out of pocket for charging instead of either vehicle being at 50% charge level, as stated by Carvana. Finally - after my exchange I needed to contact a Carvana rep to ensure they would be returning the check for the initial purchase (I changed banks). This process was an extreme hassle. I dealt with 3 or 4 Carvana reps with my bank representative on the phone. The confusion seemed to be in the vehicle. It was the same make and model as the prior vehicle but was a year newer and a different color. This tripped up Carvana reps immensely. So I tried to be very clear when speaking about the cars. That did not help, it only proved they were not listening.
2 hours of that call later we finally were able to confirm the check would be sent back to my bank but not without the Carvana rep being rude and stating private information while on the line with my bank. Overall, Carvana is more hassle than they are worth. Too many lines of red-tape, inconsistent knowledge in their employees/contractors. Very few seem to actually care about the customer's experience. I'm sure they have a place somewhere in the car buying world but if you have good credit and can secure your own financing please go elsewhere. Carvana will be an unnecessary headache.

This has been the worst car buying experience I have ever had. Choosing and buying the car was easy enough. They were quick to get their money. But three weeks later and I still don’t have my car. It was originally set to be delivered on August 7th. On August 7th at 11am (when it was supposed to arrive) I received a text message that it was delayed. Not a call from a person. Sat on hold for 30 minutes and was told it would be delayed a week. The representative was less than helpful. Basically telling me “there is nothing we can do”. I’m in a rental so I extended the rental. It was supposed to be delivered August 14th. I called the previous Monday to confirm and was told by THREE separate employees that it was on track and that there was no delay.
At 1:55 am on August 14th I received an email telling me that there was a second delay. And now my car will arrive August 20th. Sat on hold again to speak to someone. I was immediately transferred to a manager that was absolutely no help since she couldn’t even tell me where my car was or any information what so ever. I asked to be transferred to another manager. I was transferred to Rob. He was not helpful either. My car is somewhere in Tennessee (an 8 hour drive) but I can’t go get the car because “logistics” won’t allow me to pick up my vehicle. He can’t guarantee that my vehicle will get to me on the 20th but will “track” it to make sure it’s on time.
Although they “validated” my feelings throughout the call several times, it does absolutely nothing that now I have to spend more money on a rental, my car has been delayed twice, and the communication about delays are less than ideal. But they are giving me $100 gas card on a car that I don’t have in my possession. I also have received texts about my payment being “late” because I have not received the car. I will NEVER buy from Carvana. I will NEVER recommend Carvana to anyone. The uncertain delays, the lack of communication, the lack of their ability to rectify the issues that THEY caused it’s all just too much.

The online buying process was a bit disjointed between the purchase, the financing and the insurance. Once you go to pick up the car the process is a bit concerning because you are really working with a customer representative and not someone knowledgeable about the vehicle or vehicles in general. I raised concern about two bald tires and was told the car passed inspection. I don't know how it passed inspection and would question the shop that approved it. I subsequently brought it to a Carvana authorized shop to reinspect the tires and they confirmed my belief. The tires were bald and could be dangerous. They also found the battery was on its last legs and needed to be replaced. All of this was done free of charge by Silver Rock. Those issues are resolved but I still have an open issue. When I picked up the car, the windshield had a chip. The 150 point Carvana inspection said the windshield was fine.
The customer representative took pictures and told me she would file a claim and that Carvana would call me and come to my house and fix the windshield at no cost. I called Carvana the following day and they said they had no claim. The phone representative subsequently reached out to the pickup location representative and sent me an email noting that the chip was present at the time of pick up and that this would be a covered repair. I received an email from Silver Rock saying they do not cover glass chips and the claim is denied. I called them and explained the situation and that I did not chip the glass, Carvana did, and they said Carvana would have to notify them.
I called Carvana again and they said the claim was filed incorrectly the first time and would be filed correctly. I received a notification from Silver Rock yesterday saying the claim is denied. I will be calling them as soon as I finish this review. Definitely not a painless process, I would probably not use them again. Very time consuming. (I do like the car).

I love the car I bought and believe I paid a very fair price not available through a dealer. Totally happy with the purchase. However dealing with Carvana through the sales process took patience and perseverance. Customer service is lacking, uninformed and frustrating. 2 quick examples: 1) I had all tasks and paperwork in hours before the deadline; yet Carvana failed process, cancelled the pickup time convenient for me and delayed delivery of my vehicle -- even though I paid outright in full. 2) Told I could not transfer my plates by "ambassadors"; when I arrived at pickup facility it was no problem. All said the savings I got on my purchase and the trade in value received worth the frustrations.

Online shopping with Carvana is simple and easy once you decide what vehicle is right for you. When first initiating the process, they give you the impression that you can take your time submitting the required documents but then all of a sudden there are deadlines to meet and pressure is put on you to submit said documents. Repeated missed deadline emails are sent and threat of not holding the vehicle until they are submitted. Sometimes the issue is with their programing not allowing documents to be uploaded or it's after hours with your bank and there's a delay in transferring funds. Overall, it's a fairly painless process if you want to avoid dealing with the pressure of salespeople.

Carvana claimed that the Subaru Ascent I purchased had a tow hitch and trailer wiring harness. It did not have these features. I was offered a $100 reimbursement for this. It cost me $1,300 to have them installed. While the dealership was installing them, they discovered that behind the 3rd row seat was disgustingly filthy. Carvana had not remotely adequately cleaned the car prior to selling it to me. When I brought this to their attention, they said that I should have notified them sooner even though it had only been a week. I have purchased 4 vehicles from Carvana, but this will be the last. I have told everyone that has asked me about it not to buy from Carvana in the future. I have also made social media post about this incident and will be making many more. This is both the use of fraudulent sales tactics and a lack of standing behind basic standards of cleanliness when selling a used car.

If I could give Carvana a zero star, I would. They are not very clear about their terms and conditions from the beginning. This was the worst experience I have ever had buying a car, and I've bought a few over the years. The customer service is horrible, they had no answers for my questions. When asked to talk to a supervisor, I was told no, and they relayed the information to the supervisor, and came back with some ridiculous answer that didn't even reflect my question/complaint. Stay far from here, you will regret every even trying them out.
Once you are on your third car, because buying a car is a big thing, and you want to be satisfied, you are stuck with that car, if you accept it. But nobody tells you this when they bring the last car and you sign for it, it's yours, no matter how much you hate it. Its very hard to buy a car without having a look at it, driving it, getting comfortable with it. Seven days is great, but at the end of the seven, you should be able to return it, and not get another trade, not be stuck with a car you absolutely HATE. Stuck paying a tune of 40,000 for something that I HATE.

This car has been a nightmare since it showed up. Transmission pan was leaking and broken, rear main seal is leaking, water pump is leaking. I got to drive it a day and half before it spent 6 days in the shop and it still has to go back for the rear main seal and water pump because Silver rock needed actual proof since there was so much leaking they couldn’t verify where all the leaks were coming from. For a company that does a “150 point inspection,” it sure seems like Stevie Wonder was the one doing the inspection.
I reached out via text to extend my 7-day money-back guarantee and was never connected with an actual individual. I traded you guys a perfectly fine running car to deal with my car being in the shop constantly. I work full time and need transportation to get back and forth and you guys have put me in a real bind by selling me a car I believe you knew was broken and leaking everywhere. But since I’m past my 7 days (considering it spent 5 of those days in the shop) here I am. I will never buy another car from you and have been completely dissatisfied with the entire experience. I know that Silver Rock is going to cover all of these repairs but the fact that you let a car with this many problems hit the market shows no integrity as a company and you guys should be ashamed of yourselves.

Was originally scheduled to pick up my first car on a Wednesday but received an email the day before saying it would be delayed until the following Thursday. Pretty disappointing waiting 11-12 days for a new car you just purchased. Is what it is but the disaster was when I actually went to pick the car up. As soon as your employee drove it around, you could immediately see the car was 3 different colors of yellow. So immediately started going around the car and it was one of the worst cars I have ever seen.
The entire car had been repainted, all of the moldings and seals had yellow paint on them, the quarter panels weren’t even close to the factory color, the right quarter panel had a huge run at the bottom, the hood and spoiler still had tape stuck down in them, the emblems were half missing from the rear, the front bumper had a sticker on it that was painted over, there was sanding material left in the door jambs, paint everywhere on the car it wasn’t supposed to be. A $42,000 car that your employees just thought was ok to be sold. I rejected it. Was advised to call a corporate number. Called and told my story to 4 different people. Think anything was done for me? Nope. You can pick out a different car, wouldn’t even waive the shipping charge for the one I picked out, which was a $1000 more. Didn’t do a damn thing for me except apologize. I was told to set up a new ACH withdrawal for this new car.

Online it showed a little chip, however, there was a big gash on the side as if someone side swiped it, the bumper was not on correctly as though it had been hit off and haphazardly put back on, weather stripping on top was flying off, and pieces of the car falling off by the windows.

I had been looking for my car for a few weeks. I knew exactly what I wanted including interior and exterior color. I first went to a BMW dealership, but my fiance wanted to find a better deal. I checked all BMW dealerships within 300 miles and contacted a few places that had this exact car. I finally found my car on Edmunds from Carvana. I had no idea how Carvana worked, but it was by far the easiest car buying process of my life. You get pre-approved, then simply follow through the purchasing steps, entering in a short amount of information. Carvana will then email you notifying approval, etc.
There is a 7 day return window but keep in mind the shipping cost is non refundable. It cost me around $290 to have it delivered to a location close to me, which I recommend over getting it dropped off at your house, only for the cool vending machine experience. I chose the next business day to pick it up and it arrived in time. The whole process once I went to pick it up was about 10 minutes. You sign 2 papers and show your license and proof that the car is added to your insurance and you're good to go! I couldn't believe it. Not to mention, I got this car a year old for $13k under the MSRP with absolutely no issues and low mileage!! Also, if you finance, it would be through Carvana. Your payment is due 30 days from the date you receive the car.
A lot of people are concerned about not being able to see or drive it beforehand, but Carvana provides every single little detail about the car on their site, and I would recommend taking it to a dealership (if new) to get it inspected for your relief, or a mechanic place (if older) and get it inspected there. The reviews I read on Carvana seemed very positive about selling the car, but not so positive on purchasing a car. My advice is follow all instructions thoroughly, show up on time, be patient, and you should have no issues!

I can't even begin to explain how easy the process was when getting my new Ford from Carvana and to trade in my Infiniti. Customer service personnel and the young man who delivered my new car were top notch! I have never used an online service such as Carvana before so I had a million questions. They answered every one and then some. The hardest part about the whole experience was choosing my new purchase. I definitely recommend Carvana and will use them in the future when it's time to upgrade.

This is my 3rd car buying from Carvana and has always been a good experience. Great service and will continue to buy from them. I have found the 7 days to try out is the best to give you confidence on your decision. I am going to try out the new vehicle tracker to see how that works next.

The support I have had with my purchase experience has been far below what I had expected based on the brand image Carvana promotes. My vehicle's description missed more than four obvious cosmetic issues with the vehicle that should have been noted. It was clear that some of these were due to mishandling during inspection, photography, and detailing.
- Curb rash on multiple wheels nearly 4 inches in length
- Rock chips on the roof
- Paint scratches along the entire rear spoiler
- The entire front splitter was torn from the car during delivery and it was left up to me to get fixed. None of the other items that I mentioned to the delivery staff were added to my concerns, despite being advised that they would be taken care of .
Mechanically, this car was poorly inspected, and left in a hazardous condition.
- The aforementioned front splitter was left hanging from the front bumper and drags on the ground.- The front tires were replaced with a lower quality brand of tire that doesn't offer tires that fit the rear wheels of the car, meaning I have no chance of owning matching tires until the front tires are worn. I would have rather had the price lowered so I could buy my own set of new, matching tires
- The car was delivered with a dead battery. Had the car been inspected, this battery would have been replaced as the car could not start without being jumped, and the battery was the OEM 8 year old unit from the factory in 2016!
Because of the state of the car, I could not safely drive it or take it for proper inspection. No ability to start, and a hanging piece of trim made this an impossibility. With only 7 days to inspect my new car, I was essentially delivered a new $50k liability. The first week of ownership became a nightmare for someone with a full time job, as the SilverRock warranty partner is not open weekends when I could take time to begin providing claims details. All calls to Carvana support were fruitless because they would try to redirect me to SilverRock, despite the Carvana delivery employee being the one to rip the front splitter half off the car.
I had taken days off from my job to take delivery of the car and perform an initial inspection. That does not help when the delivery is unexpectedly canceled and rescheduled for a week later. I had multiple appointments planned ahead for inspection and service, which could not be re-scheduled within the 7-day return period. I was not given a refund or credit for my delivery delay, though I would have picked the car up from Carvana if I had been given the option.
Carvana took a dream car purchase and turned it into an additional burden that I would not have had if I had purchased elsewhere. I will be haggling with the warranty partner to make my car whole for several more weeks, which is not a stress I needed. It is obvious that Carvana is not equipped nor trained to sell, inspect, or deliver enthusiast cars.

We loved every single thing about this car buying process. You know your down payment and monthly payment for each vehicle before hand; the numbers never changed. You can customize your payments, add GAP insurance and an optional extended warranty during purchase. The document steps were simple and easy to follow; we were able to track our progress and delivery. Delivery went great and the communication from the driver was excellent. If I could change one thing it would be the option to add the warranty after purchase. We will definitely be using Carvana for all vehicle purchases in the future.

The approval process was very simple and easy. The live chat was super helpful with answering all my questions. The picking up the vehicle part was super cool. There was a couple problems with my vehicle after the inspection, but the warranty covered it with no problem. Very satisfied with my experience. I would recommend to others.

The overall purchasing experience was very efficient and straightforward, no complaints there. Mechanically the car is in excellent condition, passing a full inspection by my personal mechanic. However, the appearance of the car upon delivery was a bit underwhelming. I was expecting a fully detailed bright & shiny car like you would get a dealership. It did appear to be washed, vacuumed and wiped down in the main areas, but there was quite a bit of dirt & debris in the cracks & less seen areas. The dash & leather were lacking luster. I paid for a full exterior and interior detail out of pocket to get the car in the condition that I would have expected it to be delivered in. My only other complaint is the lack of a spare tire. Would it really be such an additional cost on Carvana's part to include the full size spare for which there is space for in the trunk? But thanks for the fix-a-flat kit.

I didn't have a good experience at all. Starting with the delivery of the car, the staff were respectful, however, I was expecting a lot more of the delivery process; someone that would walk-through the car and its condition. I was simply given the key and the staff appeared rushed for me to check the exterior of the car and sign papers. The car only came with one key, no owner's manual, and was missing a floor mat. The seats were dusty and the car smelled like smoke that I had to pay to get detailed later. Carvana reimbursed $100 for it but that didn't cover the full cost. Also, there was a low tire pressure warning that we had to chase down an employee to address.
Additionally, the website description listed the car as having passed a multipoint inspection. We recently took the car to get checked out and a part of the suspension is leaking fluid and the car needs new rear brake pads. I've had the car less than a month and will spend $7k to get it fixed. How wasn't this identified by Carvana in their assessment of the car?
Carvana should be more transparent with the condition of the car. The car's description needs to do a better job clearly describing what is missing or damaged. I suggest they offer a real time video walkthrough so customers can be informed and have the opportunity to ask questions before they make a decision. The 360-view video is not enough. Also, during the delivery a knowledgeable person should do a walkthrough of the car acknowledging what is missing and ask the customer if everything is as expected. The person who worked with us didn't know anything at all about the car. Based on my experience I wouldn't recommend anybody to use Carvana.

Awful, the car I bought was horrible. The 7 day window to return it passed and the AC quit working and it started squealing when driving. The hubcaps all flew off. It is literally falling apart before my eyes. I brought it to a Carvana “preferred mechanic” and they had it for a week. Terrible communication with that mechanic, but that’s another story. Needless to say, it’s worse than it was before I brought it in. AC still doesn’t work. Squeal is worse. I called carvana to see if I could possibly have this car refunded and if they would make an exception to help me and they adamantly refused. The guy had such a thick accent it was hard to understand him and he continued to just say the same thing. He offered to give me the repossession line to have the car repossessed but refused to allow me to return this car and pick one that actually works. I am disgusted with them! Will not recommend ANYONE!!!! Furious!

The lovely woman that delivered my vehicle was very knowledgeable, kind and professional. She went above and beyond to make the transition process smooth and pleasant. I would give her 1000 stars if I could. The entire process was easy from application to close. Thank you Carvana!! I love my new car!! I already recommended Carvana to neighbors and I would recommend Carvana to everyone.

I don’t understand how a car company could sell a car and give the customer a taped up key and expect me to take it to get fixed. What poor service! They never asked to pick the key up to fix it for me. I have never had this experience while purchasing a vehicle.
