    All I can say is that they are amazing! I'm loving my Drop Top Camaro. The buy was very easy absolutely no hassle and the guy that brought my car to me was so down to earth and funny. Carvana made me feel like family and I recommend them to anyone.

    My review starts with a story... I purchased a vehicle from Carvana last year which I loved. Unfortunately, on June 27th we ended up totaling that vehicle due hydroplaning in a severe downpour. We rented a vehicle to get back home 3 hours away. With the upcoming week being 4th of July, it took longer than normal to find out the condition of my vehicle. I already had a trip planned 4 hours away and had to take the rental vehicle. I found out the day before I left that the vehicle was totaled.

    Then while driving I received a notification letting me know I needed to return the rental car in 3 days! I had already begun my search on Carvana but didn't know how to get it! Turns out they delivered it to my hotel for me! I did everything I needed to do from my hotel room. I was able to return the rental car on time then drive my "new" car home from my trip! This would NEVER have happened just a few short years ago. I am so grateful for Carvana and the ease in which I was able to purchase my vehicle.

    Okay so I was looking for a 2023 chevy camaro zl1 manual. Took over 6 months to find one in the color and condition I was looking for. Finally came across the one I bought from Carvana that was the exact thing I was looking for with only 3900 miles for a price under my budget so I went for it. The minimum down-payment I had to put down was insane. I had to put much more down than I had anticipated. I also was trading my other vehicle, a 2023 gr86 to them to use it on this purchase. They gave me 26k and some change for it which I originally bought it new for 30k in late 2023 with maybe 2 miles on it. They are now reselling that car for almost 33k with 21k miles on it. So in essence they are ripping someone off but hey at least it wasn't me this time. So when I got the car I was super excited then I got less excited. I had it delivered to my house.

    The driver parked on the street instead of the 300 plus foot driveway I had. So the exchange was very easy and given that both cars were manuals the driver dropping and picking up had not even a slight clue how to drive one so I witness him burn the clutch on the car I was trading in. I told him to get out and I parked it on the flat bed for him which I'm pretty sure that is against carvana's rules but I had to. So now the delivery guy is gone and I've got the car.

    First off the car had a anti theft system on it that I was COMPLETELY unaware of. The was the biggest thing among a bunch of other things I found out about that car that they didn't tell me about. The exterior of the car was clean from a distance but up close in crevices and under certain spots were pools of dried wax, noticeable enough that my whole family saw them without me pointing them out. The interior was okay to say the best. There were multiples stains in the back seats and on the center console. Looked like 5 layers of dust on the dash, cluster and back of headrests. Don't know if that means it was sitting for a long time or what.

    Ended up taking the car to a verified Chevy dealer the very next day because nobody should take carvana's or any other used car dealership's word on "the car is in great shape". Given that it was the last year they made the camaro it has only 2 owners before me and only 3900 miles I was hoping it'd be fine which the clear confirmed that it was and there were no signs of abuse or unexpected wear. Also no modifications. I was relieved.

    I had planned to file return that day if it had not checked out. All in all I was the absolute first person in my entire extended and immediate family to use carvana and I also have no other peers that has tried carvana either so I really had no idea what to expect. 3 out of 5 stars. 1 for the cleanliness of the car when it arrived. 2nd star for the weird delivery and unexpected things with the car I was not told about. I should have saved shots of the stains and stuff but of course I didn't because I wanted to clean it as quickly as possible. I want to say generally I would not recommend this but there are just some things you need to know about it before you try them, so it'd be more of a yes but but with caution type of recommendation.

They helped when the terms changed and gave me a window to provide payment for the vehicle. It was my dream car and they helped me get it. Delivery was smooth and the Heather was incredibly helpful.

    Terrible communication and experience. Your advocates play the game of guessing you to death and telling you that they are taking care of things and promised that they will call you back and then once you’re off the phone with them it is a radio silence. I originally got a Honda that was all rusted. It was definitely in a flood. I then set up an exchange that ended up getting delayed for two weeks because there was a paperwork confusion. This entire confusion was because of a lack of communication between advocates no one ever gets back to me for the past week.

    I’ve been dealing with an incorrect odometer reading write up on my DMV paperwork I have called several times this week each time I’m told they will promise. They will call me back and they never do. I even spoke to a senior advocate on Thursday who promised that they would call me back and they never did. I realize now that Carvana gaslight you with friendly and enthusiastic phone call advocate, but when it comes down to it. They don’t care about their customers.

    I purchased a 2025 Hyundai Kona from Carvana with full factory warranty and it was disclosed that the vehicle had been in a minor accident. What was not disclosed is that none of the repairs that should have been done to make the vehicle whole again was done. I took the vehicle to the local dealer for what I thought would be warranty work only to find that the faulty air flap would not be covered under warranty due to all the missing and broken parts from said accident. I reached out to Carvana and was assured they would make things right. Every employee I had contact with agreed after seeing the pictures that the vehicle should not have been sold and at $24k at that.

    After sending many documents and pictures carvana made the decision that they would do nothing. I was going to trade the vehicle in with them and was originally offered $20k on a vehicle i purchased 90 days previous for $24k however after the decision was made the trade value went to $12800... Big scam and instead of doing what is right they decided to wash there hands of the situation. PLEASE DO NOT PURCHASE A VEHICLE FROM THESE SCAM ARTISTS. You are safer going to the local buy here pay here as they will ensure the vehicle operates so you continue to pay... To be told a vehicle I purchased from them 3 months previous for $24k is now worth $12800 tells you they are scam artist. Take it for what it is worth and by from your local dealer.. Do get wrapped up in the fact that they will make it convenient and drop off a lemon of a vehicle...

    Everything was very good. The trade-in, the purchases, and the handling of all the paperwork. The only issue we had was only one key fob and the false statement there was a moonroof on the vehicle. We understand the one key fob issue is industry wide, and we purchased another key fob.

    However, our description from Carvana said there was a moonroof and there is not a moonroof. I believe most everyone looking at the description page would have thought it included a moonroof.

    I wanted to sell an old car and I accepted Carvana’s online offer. It was more than 20 years old, and my state will not issue a title for a car that old. The DMV told me I could sell it with just my registration. So I called customer service to explain that and I was told it was fine, they would buy my car. I went to my appointment the following morning and after waiting some time, a salesperson approached me. I smiled at her but she did not smile back, she just said, "Give me your title." So I explained I had none but my registration would suffice, and I said I was told so by Carvana customer service on the phone. She said, "No, they told you the wrong thing," and I said, "I think you are mistaken." She then turned and walked away, saying nothing.

    I called the 800 number to ask for help and she did, too, but I hung up with mine to make it less confusing. I explained my situation on the phone and the person there put me on hold to check with leadership, she said. After a long wait, the salesperson walked near me with her phone in her hand and I could hear the woman on the phone saying, "Sorry, we cannot buy your car."

    While she was still explaining it to me, the salesperson turned and walked away from me, went through a door and closed it - without speaking to me. Her behavior was weirdly peevish and unmistakably rude. She never said a kind or a professional word to me, she just glared at me and retreated. I spoke to another employee about her unkind behavior, but he said almost nothing to me. I was calm and respectful the whole time while my time was being wasted, and she had no good reason to treat me so poorly. After leaving, I called customer service again and reported the rudeness. The people on the phone seemed nicer. Carvana needs to better train their sales staff, instructing them to be courteous and kind.

    I ordered a 2020 silver Ford Mustang. It was delivered in a timely manner however there was lots of paint damage that was not disclosed in the photos. I made a phone call and spoke to Fausto and he helped me find a 2019 Mustang convertible that was an excellent condition. They brought me the replacement car within three days with no issues at all.

    Here's a more polished and impactful version of your review while keeping your frustration clear: **Carvana is by far the worst company I have ever had to deal with.** The entire experience felt incredibly frustrating. They collected all of my personal information, only to tell me they needed to verify a previous address from my credit report. I provided the exact address, and they still insisted it was incorrect.

    I've lived at that address for over **seven years**. During that time, I've opened multiple credit cards, financed vehicles, and have never had an issue verifying my identity anywhere else. Yet somehow Carvana couldn't verify information that every other lender and financial institution has had no problem confirming. The process felt disorganized, time-consuming, and completely unreasonable. If you're going to collect someone's personal information, you should have a reliable verification process in place instead of sending customers in circles. Based on my experience, I would not recommend Carvana to anyone. It was an absolute waste of time.

    Here are things they were not upfront about: the delivery time can change. I wanted a car before the 20th (shopping on the 14th) and chose one that was marked "as soon as the 16th". After going through all the steps, the final delivery date was moved to the 21st. There should have been a cancel button available right here. They also provide no way of using your own insurance (at least not electronically), so you find out at the end that you have to sign up for their insurance. I have platinum rating for my insurance, I am not using someone else. And now, I have to wait 10-15 days for my money to be back in my account, despite the fact that they were able to pull it in minutes! STAY AWAY!!

    You didn’t just drop the ball — you launched it off a cliff. I’ve spent $50–60k on vehicles with you, including a 2019 GMC Yukon SLT literally two weeks ago, and the chaos I’ve dealt with since is unbelievable. Four cars, constant delays, excuses stacked on excuses, and outright gaslighting. Your own staff admitted things were messed up, yet nothing was fixed. Your “zero stress, easy process” core value is a joke. After what I just went through, traditional dealerships are easier, more honest, and more reliable than Carvana. That alone should embarrass you.

    One employee tried to help, but even he didn’t care enough to actually resolve the problem. All I asked for was a real solution today — for your company to make this deal right — and you still failed. You didn’t just drop the ball; you spilled every marble across the floor and walked away. You’ve lost my trust, my business, and any future revenue you could have earned from me. I guarantee this experience cost you at least a million dollars in future acquisitions. Customer service, reliability, and accountability are dead at Carvana, and you proved it. I’m beyond disappointed. You’ve lost a customer for life, and my testimony will be shared everywhere it can be heard. I’ve already contacted counsel. You had your opportunity to do good business.

    Had been contemplating giving Carvana a try and found it pretty straight forward. Either you buy it, or you don’t. 150 point pre-sale inspection, oil change, etc. before it's listed. 2 finance options of either through them, or your own financing or cash payment. I did down payment + my own financing with a trade-in of my older car. Advice is get pre-approved and shop accordingly. Once decided all documentation is done online via virtual signatures. You set an appointment for pickup at a local venue/kiosk OR for X bucks have it delivered. I chose drive my trade-in and pickup then back home.

    Allow couple days for processing. If you don’t the dealership pressures and inflated pricing. Carvana amongst a couple other online options, makes a great alternative. So far I’m totally satisfied with the experience, and my vehicle. The only irritant were the numerous reminder calls each by a different person.

    Upon delivery of my vehicle the delivery agent found a flaw with the locking mechanism of an aftermarket tonneau cover which appears to be newly installed. Carvana approved the repair but their repair agent (Maaco) was unable to source the required part. I called the cover manufacturer and confirmed this. Carvana said they would replace the cover but only with a less expensive and inferior product. I objected but was basically told to “kiss off”. What to do but hold my nose and write this review.

    Pros: I enjoyed the ability to sort through 1000s of vehicles online, and was able to find a vehicle that fit my needs in terms of make/model/mileage/ features/pricing without having to haggle with a dealer.

    Cons: 1) Delivery was pushed back a day last minute and I had to change my work schedule which caused some stress. This was the more minor issue.

    2) I did an independent inspection to verify the vehicle condition, and the mechanic said it likely would not have passed due to significant rust underneath with a small hole in the frame. I decided to NOT return the car within the 7-day window because I didn’t want to go through the hassle of returning and still needing to find another vehicle. My purchased vehicle was in good condition other than the rust, and I plan on doing the repairs (estimated $2,500) to extend the life of the vehicle.

    I wish Carvana would show pictures of the undercarriage to be fully transparent. Even though I have the limited 100 day warranty, rust is not covered under the warranty. I feel this is a little bit misleading because Carvana indicates the vehicle passed their inspection, but the rust was definitely present before I received it, and now I will have to pay out of pocket for the vehicle to be in safe driving condition.

    This was my 3rd car purchase and a very disappointing experience. The first car I picked had a mechanical issue that need to be repaired and would have delayed the delivery date. So I cancelled the order and picked another car which I had to pay additional shipping fees. The second car I picked was delivered and the Carvana rep who delivered the car left before I finished the test drive. During the test drive the car was making a loud noise when braking. Also the car did not have and caps on all four tire valves. I called carvana to let them know of the issues and the rep told me to take the car to the BMW dealership and have the dealership call Silver rock to file a claim. Bmw dealership inspected the car and found damage to a wheel baring, rotors that were bad and failing and worn out brake pads. Also the wheels were painted over to cover damage to them.

    Also some kind of oil was applied to the wheels brakes and rotors to cover damage and rust. The bmw dealership provided a video of their findings that I still have. Silver rock advised they would cover the wheel baring, and rotors. But would not cover the cost for brakes and on top of that told me that I had to pay a 350 dollar deductible since the bmw dealership was out of network. I was sent directly to the bmw dealership at the direction of a carvana rep. And I have the email from the rep to prove this. I called carvana to see if they could have the deductible waived due to their error. And a supervisor named Brad down played the issues and how the inspection process failed and carvana greenlighted a car for sale with obvious problems and defects. He offered to refund me money by check to cover the decuctible of 350 and 150 to go towards the brakes.

    The price to replace bmw brake pads is over 300 dollars. He was like well the issues are being addressed and there is nothing more to be done. It's crazy because I did not even have the car for 2 days before it had to be repaired. I was then out of a car for 4 days having to pay for Ubers or get rides from family. This raises concerns about how safe these cars are that carvana is selling. The car I received had problems and should not have been cleared as inspected and safe to sell or drive. This was 3rd purchase with carvana and likely to be my last.

    As I attempted to sell my 2011 Subaru Legacy 2.5i premium with all the upgrades, I was offered 1300 dollars, and told this was based on its value nationwide using an algorithm. Upon doing research on what Carvava sells these for I see that what they say it's worth is nothing close to the offer and it is not based on current or even past sales. They just want to get the vehicle for as cheap as possible for maximum profits. They are selling cars in this same condition with around the same miles for $13,990, $15,990, and up. The Carfax of my vehicle is flawless. The previous owner got oil changes exactly when needed and recommended, tune ups when suggested, changed air filter when suggested, anything suggested was done and that reflection is on the Carfax.

    Also, I was told by AI it's based on its accident history, there is none. So, they are manipulating the market to obtain something of value at a much much lower cost than what it is actually worth. I believe they need to be held accountable for this and I intend to do so. Maybe small claims for market manipulating. Below you will see they sell these same vehicles in the condition mine is in for over 13k. Also attached is photos of mine.

    The buying experience was excellent! We found the perfect vehicle and it was a breeze to purchase. The vehicle was waiting for us, just as it was pictured online - no surprises. We found an immediate issue with the vehicle, and the agent recommended that we file a claim through the warranty. We took it in for an estimate and for a general inspection, where another issue was found. The repairs were done under warranty, no problem. No haggling. It took a month for the repairs to get done because the warranty company took a week to approve the repairs and the auto shop ordered the wrong part. The delays were not enough for me to lower my rating, however. It was still a five-star transaction.
