    I sold my 2017 Chevy Malibu Hybrid to Carvana over a week ago and am still awaiting payment. I dropped off my car at a local Carvana location on 12/13/23, I was told when they accepted the car that I would have my ACH payment in 1-2 business days, about 5:30pm that day I received an email saying that the payment had been processed. I gave them until Monday 12/18/23 before I contacted an advocate about the lack of payment, I was told at that time they had a message into the Accounting and would email me once they received a message back. I gave them until about 3pm 12/19/23 before I contacted another advocate, I was told that the Accounting department was gone for the day but that they would leave a note and that I would need to contact them again the next day.

    12/20/23 I contacted a new advocate first thing in the morning, the note was there and I was told that they could not verify my account for the ACH and that a check would be overnighted to me with no indication on when that would happen. The big problems, 1) Why was I not informed when the ACH for my payment did not go through? 2) Lack of follow through from either the first advocate I spoke with and or Accounting, and 3) Why was my check not automatically fast tracked when Carvana was already late in paying me. This was the worst experience I have had selling a car far and away.

    Sold a car to Carvana, overall the process is what I had expected. The "secure your offer" amount had changed (went down) before the offer actually expired. 15 mins with a rep via chat got that squared away. The process through the site was pretty straightforward. The problem came in the last few steps. After most of the arrangements were made the site disclosed that there would be a pick up charge for my area. I ultimately delivered the vehicle to the store and attempted to hand them a bill to the manager for the same amount (I didn't expect to be paid). He felt it was preposterous and insisted that carvana wasn't going to have it. Had carvana bought this car at auction they would have likely paid more and had to pay to transport the vehicle to the nearest store. So watch for the last minute bump or change in costs.

    I asked for a quote on my 2017 Hyundai Elantra Se, and was quoted 2,000. I put my vin number in there, and the true mileage and details. I then went to buying a car with Carvana's website, and find 2017 hyundai elantra se EXACTLY like mine for 13,900. I looked at all the pictures. It is exactly like mine. I can't believe they only offered me 2,000 leaving the balance due on my car at 3200.00 and they put that on the offer. I don't understand how Carvana can get away with this. I heard Carvana was better than Carmax, But they absolutely are not.

    I would like to say that the overall process of me purchasing a vehicle through Carvana was easy and great. It was hassle free. I considered it as a one stop shop because I was able to get my insurance through them as well. The seven day return policy is a great thing to have in case something goes wrong and you decide you don't want the vehicle and you can get the full refund of your down-payment. I love my new truck it rides really smooth. Thank you Carvana for your services.

    Carvana is a good concept. Pros: 1) they have a large selection of vehicles that allow you to find the make, model, mileage and price point you want 2) they beat dealerships on my trade value, 3) you can research the Carfax and window stickers to know what you are getting your self into. Cons: 1) when you deal with Carvana, you bend to the will of their "machine," 2) their operating system is rigid, and doesn't communicate very well, 3) advocates that step in when you ask "Sebastian" the Bot to work with a human can't problem-solve too well off of their scripts, 3) I am suspicious of the veracity of their "150 Point Inspection" and "Carvana Certified" claims -- here's why: after several months of in-depth research at dealers and Carvana, I bought a Volvo XC40 from Carvana.

    The morning after I picked up the vehicle, I switched on the ignition and a dash warning alerted me to "turn off the engine, low coolant level." I texted Carvana's bot and asked what to do; text was ignored, so I called customer service. Long story shorter -- one advocate told me to tow the car to an approved garage, another told me to tow the car to the closest Volvo dealership -- neither mattered because when I initiated a service call with Carvana's Roadside Service vendor they had no record of my purchase and told me to call back Carvana to get it worked out.

    I ended up topping off the antifreeze and driving the car to my mechanic where I learned: 1) the car needed front/back brake pads, and wheel alignment $650 out of my pocket 2) repair of a front engine seal leak, broken rear hatch struts, a new steering wheel and new battery for Volvo On-Call System -- fortunately all fixed at the dealership under warranty. NONE of these warts were mentioned on Carvana's inspection report. I love my newish car now that he is back to factory specs, no thanks to Carvana. Their seven day return guarantee evaporates quickly -- get your ride checked out by someone you trust to make sure you are satisfied with the deal.

    With my recent purchase I experienced multiple issues and problems. I set up a purchase and did everything that was asked of me. I had to wait a week for an appointment date and time. On the day I was to pick up the vehicle, 2 hours before my appointment time, I was told they were not going to sell me the car. No explaining why, just decided to not sell it to me. This in itself was a major inconvenience, I had to take off work and drive two hours to the pickup location. But I was offered a 250 dollar check for my inconvenience and still haven’t seen it yet. So, I found a different vehicle and again did everything required of me. Then again a week later for my scheduled pickup time and on the day of, was told the car isn’t there and it would be yet another week. I was told they don’t know why it wasn't there or what happened, although I got all the notifications that everything was in order. So, I had to wait another week.

    I was told I would get another 250 dollar check for my inconvenience, that I still haven’t seen. I was also told the car would have a full tank of gas, a complete detail, and a dining gift card to have a meal on Carvana. The was not detailed, didn’t have a full tank of gas, and was told they don’t do dining gift cards. Then there were mechanical and cosmetic issues. Afterwards I start the repair process through Silverrock, which gave me grief for not wanting to cover all the issues, and flat out refused to take care of me. It was a terrible experience and got nowhere with customer service.

I'm paying 571 a month for it, now it has to go into the shop not but 3 months later because it overheated and possibly blew a head gasket because the cooling system hadn't been flushed or if they did flush it they added the wrong coolant back in it. Now I'm stuck with a I'm sure over $1,000 bill for a 34,000 mi truck that didn't last 3 months after I purchased it. No wonder these screw-offs deliver their vehicles.

    We all have fears about purchasing something as large and important as a car completely online. Well, if you use Carvana, those fears will come true. I purchased a car on 12/9/23, received multiple confirmations of the purchase, had over $20,000 pulled from my bank and had a scheduled pickup date. I called two days before to confirm the pickup and Carvana told me that the purchase had been canceled. Even worse they said that I canceled the purchase. I did not cancel the purchase. I am very good with technology and I would know if I canceled it.

    There was no confirmation of the cancellation whatsoever and they submitted an “engineering” ticket to find out how the order was cancelled and could give no explanation. Meanwhile they sold the car to someone else. So, they had me sign all the documents, do all the tedious uploading, took money out of my account, and then sold the car to someone else and I don’t when I’ll even get my money back. I can’t stress enough to stay as far away from this company as possible!!

    Good experience overall, just be careful to make sure all options are included that are advertised in the description. Our car was missing an important feature that was listed in the description and when we contacted Carvana within 24 hours to follow up they basically did nothing but say it wasn't actually listed so did not show great customer service for a $24,000 purchase so ended on a disappointing note.

    This was a horrendous experience. The lack of inter communication is deafening. I used a third party lender (my credit union) for financing and Carvana dropped the ball way too many times to recall. From botched numbers, false deadlines, 5 Carvana cancelled deliveries, a 150 mile drive to pick my new dirty and uncleared car at a broken “car vending machine”, unfulfilled promises, hours of talking in circles with dreadfully worthless AI chat bots, and the most ridiculous warranty refund policy all the way to the 11 weeks it took to finally finish the transaction with them. This entire process was horrible. I can not possibly better warn anybody considering purchasing a vehicle from them. Stay clear of this rudderless nightmare.

    Bought Acura MDX from Carvana. Overall a decent experience. My only complaints are the vehicle I bought was listed as black and when I picked it up it read purple as color on title. So I had already signed most of paperwork when I noticed this. You are probably saying, “couldn’t you tell it was purple when you saw it that it was purple?”. The answer is no because it is a purplish shade of black and you really cannot tell unless it is next to a Black car in certain light conditions. Took the car anyway and it is good. The other complaint is the mileage was listed completely wrong on the title. They said they will clear this up and send a new title. We will see if that is fixed. Maybe a clerical error, idk.

    I purchased a 2015, jeep Cherokee through Carvana in December 2023. This was the first time I worked with this company and the entire process was a headache from start to finish. I do have an iPhone 15 so I have the most recent technology, but still had all sorts of issues with the buying process. Had problems from the beginning with verifying information. Taking pictures for the notary. The notary process was ridiculous. Terrible communication between the notaries and Carvana.

    Once paperwork was finally approved. Transportation was delayed three times. Another issue is that you cannot negotiate pricing. The mileage was very low, which is a good thing, but compared to Kelley blue book value. The car was over priced. Then on top of that when I finally did receive the car, the interior smelled like smoke. Nowhere in the write up was it a smoker's vehicle. Nor was any detailing done to try to rid the vehicle of the smoke smell. Also, twice when I was trying to “chat” with customer service I was flat left. No one would respond. Just every level of the buying experience was horrible. The only good thing, is that the vehicle seems to be as advertised, and after one week of use I like the vehicle.

Then a company called Bridgecrest, keep harassing me about my first payment being due and if they do not get it, the vehicle will be subject to repossession. I explained to them that a full payment check was sent and cashed by CARVANA and that I do not owe them anything but the person from Bridgecrest still insist that I need to put a stop payment on the check, and make a first payment. I told her it was already cashed by CARVANA. This keeps going back and forth to no avail.

    Buying a car on Carvana is super easy. But, in my experience, they don't go the extra mile to make sure the car you buy is up to par when it arrives at your doorstep. The communication between the driver who delivered the vehicle and the experience with the driver himself was the best part of the transaction. Luke was the man! A nice gentleman originally from Cambridge, England. He went over everything and made it very easy.

    That being said, he offered me to take the car for a spin around the block which I declined. Bad move. Once Carvana left with my trade-in I wanted to take the family for a ride in the new wheels. As we were driving down the road, a loud scraping noise was coming from the back rear of the car. WTH! Luckily, we ran into Luke and the Carvana truck just down the road and told him the problem. He wasn't happy. He noted it in his paperwork but I never heard a word from Carvana. Nothing. Yes, there is a 90-day limited warranty but come on people. I had to take the vehicle to a specific garage that dealt with Carvana. On my way, the low tire indicator came on? Seriously?

    Long story short. Carvana doesn't really go over your car with a fine-toothed comb before you purchase it. It looks all shiny on the outside, but the rear caliper was rusted out which made the noise. It was also towards the end of its life as are my tires, according the garage mechanic. I understand you buy a "used" car, but I think Carvana can do a little bit more than leaving the car as is when you buy it and just giving the exterior a fresh coat of Turtle Wax.

    Carvana was the only company that was willing to sell to me with bad credit. They had so many cars to choose from. I was easily able to look for a manual transmission Mazda 3. I found several, but one caught my attention because it was blue (my favorite color). It had low mileage and had all the features I was looking for. I only had 1 hiccup. The day I was first scheduled to pick it up, they called me to tell me it had a bubble in a tire, and they needed to fix it. That was great. The hiccup was I had to schedule another pickup date, which was 2 weeks later (I guess because they have a small staff). However it actually worked out better for me. Since I did most of the things I needed to do online, it took less than 30 minutes to finish the process. The coolest thing of all was putting the coin in the vending machine and watching my car come down and out of it! They even gave me a souvenir coin!

    I bought a car at Carvana in November 2021. I have not been able to sell or exchange the car because Carvana made an error in the DMV registration, and there is a discrepancy in the miles that makes it look like a fraud. I have been talking to Carvana for almost two years, and they have been unable to fix anything. I have lost several opportunities to sell my car or exchange it for another, and the transaction is canceled when the car report runs. Nobody does anything to correct it, and it has hurt me considerably. Do not trust Carvana; the customer service is impossible to contact because they do not give you a contact number, and you cannot speak with them directly.

    I purchased my car from Carvana after carefully reviewing the all the images and the written detail. After payment, I noticed the the car was not a 6 speed manual as advertised but an automatic transmission. This is a pretty big miss as the interior image was not clear and the window sticker wasn't available. Before delivery, I contacted the "customer care" team and they informed me that technically it was a manual because with the automatic transmission you could put it in "manual" mode. Absolutely absurd and fraudulent. The Carvana rep said that they would file an incident report and get back to me.

    Their solution was to change the original listing to automatic transmission. Mind you, this was done after I paid and before delivery. When I confronted the manager about this change at their pick up location, they acted as if I had fabricated the entire story and would not make any attempts to resolve the situation. Fortunately, I took screenshots of the original, incorrect posting, but Carvana still wouldn't do anything.

    The only reason anyone would ever buy or sell a car with Carvana is because they are truly incompetent and do not know what they are doing. It is for this reason that they will sell a car for less than what the market price would be. My guess is that you have a team of very new, untrained personnel pushing cars that don't have a clue as to the product that they are actually selling. I have called them repeatedly, but to date, no one has returned my calls or made any attempt to resolve my initial complaint.

Not a roadworthy car as delivered but still no refund on delivery charge. The fault is so obvious it is difficult to believe they conduct any checks. The car also stank of smoke so not sure it had been properly cleaned.

    Very satisfied with the overall experience. Purchase was easy and convenient. Delivery was on time and the driver was extremely professional and friendly. Mechanical and physical condition of the truck was exactly as advertised and expected. However, I was disappointed with the detail and cleanliness of the vehicle. This was my 5th purchase with Carvana and the vehicles have always been received in very clean condition.

    It was obvious that the attention to detail was lacking on this one before being sent out. There were some type of splatter stains on the dash area, the exterior was somewhat clean but had obviously not been washed before shipment. The tonneau cover was not latched properly to the truck. The floor mats were left in the bed of the truck and were wet and moldy to the point of not being usable because of the smell and mold stains. Had to purchase new ones.

    So, I always had a good experience with Carvana in the past when it came to selling my previous cars until I actually bought a car from them for the first time. I bought my Dodge Durango back in April 2023 and it worked fine for a few months then all off a sudden the car starts shutting off while I’m driving almost causing an accident. This car has shut off on me 3 times! I’ve also taken it to fix other issues before this as well. I contacted Carvana about this serious issue and their response was I can either sell back the car or trade it in for another one. The problem with this is that they are offering me $13,000 less than what I owe on my loan. I will never purchase or sell any car to them again especially when the cars I sold to them were in perfect working condition and they sold me a death trap. They need to do better when selling these cars ensuring they are in perfect working condition.

    I purchased a car through Carvana because of the 150-point inspection and 90-day warranty that came with it. I wanted to make sure I had a safe, reliable car. I did not realize at the time I accepted the car that there was a lug nut missing off of every wheel. Me and my 18-year old son have been driving this vehicle around for the past 3 months in an unsafe condition. A quick Google search will tell you that a missing lug nut causes the others to loosen over time because of the pressure and eventually your tire can fall off the car. Carvana sold me the car in this unsafe condition with no warning and could have killed me and my child. Would never purchase from them again.

I was supposed to take possession today only to be told it will be a week or so, then I can have it. Never mind I took half a personnel have to drive a 177 miles one way to get the car, but my insurance was supposed to change today. So, I have paid in full for a car that they don't know where it really is. I suspect one of the following;

    1. The car was stolen and they are looking for it.
    2. The transport company went on vacation.

    3. It was damaged and is in a quickie body shop and they need a week to fix it.

    I have to say dealing with Carvana was a breeze and none of the runaround from the dealers. It definitely depends on the type of car but generally Carvana offers a fair price overall. At times, you can probably get a little more on eBay motors for example, but then you have to deal with the hassle and handle the transaction yourself. I literally went online, put my vin # or you can do by plate, gave a little detail about my car and submitted. They give you the offer right on the spot. You get a few more emails to answer, submit some documents, and they guide you along every step of the way. Then you set up your appointment for them to inspect the car, they hand you the check and the car becomes Carvana's, It was so simple, smooth and would do it again.

    I was definitely skeptical at first to buy a car online, but Carvana did not disappoint! They even offered more money than other dealerships for my trade-in which was very important for me. I was able to narrow my search down to exactly what I wanted and found my car. The application process was so simple and straightforward. I chose to go to the vending machine because why not!! I always wanted to see the vending machines. The experience was so incredibly easy! They brought my car down and gave me the keys to take it for a drive. I was in love! Since everything was done online I didn’t have to stay and go through a pile of paperwork. I just gave them my trade-in car and drove home with my new car.

    The only issue I experienced was when my car came down it had a racing stripe on the hood. At first I thought they had the wrong car. It definitely didn’t show it in any of the pictures online. Everything else looked exactly what it was online. It was a sticker but was afraid to remove it myself in case I caused damage. The girl who helped me said I should call and put in a issue ticket. It was an aesthetic issue but I planned to get it taken care of as a racing stripe was not my style! Especially on a SUV. I got a Kia Sportage. I spoke to Ashley and let me tell you, she was absolutely amazing! She put in a ticket for it to be removed. She was so helpful and so nice. Carvana recognized that there was a misrepresentation and made sure that it got remedied. It was a bit of a process as it had to go through the warranty company but they worked diligently on getting me to a shop to have them remove the stickers before my 7-day return period ended.

    Thankfully it didn’t cause any paint damage and got my car back within a couple of hours! It’s been 3 weeks since I got my Kia Sportage and I am extremely happy with my purchase. The entire experience was wonderful and knowing that there is support beyond the purchasing process when an issue arose gave me the peace of mind I needed. First time ever buying a car online was proven to be worth it! I would recommend Carvana to anyone who is looking to buy or sell their car. Thank you Carvana for the wonderful experience!

The carpet in ours has a terrible sour smell and they literally spray-painted it with a brown dye to hide the damage. What's worse is that my 5-year-old grandson could have done a better job with the carpet dye. The only recourse Carvana would allow is to trade it back in, but they had no other cars that were similar at the time. I offered to replace the carpet myself at a cost of $300 but refused.

    The Saturday before our delivery (Friday) we had decided to sell our old car and get something newer that would work with my wife's disabled mother. The 2020 Kia Soul on Carvana's site seemed to be a Godsend. Truly we felt that we had been nudged by God into doing this deal. We still love the car but we nearly didn't get it when it was delivered. The process to buy the Carvana car went smoothly and I uploaded my Drivers License, Docusigned the Sell/Purchase documents, and uploaded my insurance binder my insurance agent provided. All three items were accepted and received the "Green Checkmark" on the Carvana site. We were ready to get our new car!

    Friday afternoon I came home early from work. We were both excited to have our new car delivered and our old car taken away. It's a nice touch in the Carvana app to be able to track the delivery vehicle as it comes to your home. As the truck was rounding the last corner we were both on the porch waving at the driver as he turned around. OUR NEW CAR WAS HERE. We were both very excited.

    I went out to the street with my DL to show the driver as instructed. The driver gets out of the truck and wasn't a super friendly guy. I took it as Friday afternoon, "lets get this done - so I can go home" attitude. I was okay with that but then he drops the bombshell on me that there was a problem with my insurance. My insurance renewed 13 days after this delivery date. I was surprised since the insurance binder I had uploaded was accepted by the company. I asked him what he needed and he said proof that I had insurance for the next 30 days.

    I replied that I do and that it was renewing on the 16th. He said I need to see that your insurance will continue for the next 30 days. Confused, I called my agent and was lucky enough that he was still in the office. I explained the request from the driver and my agent said that's what he had given me and that I had uploaded to the system. Driver was adamant that what was uploaded was not sufficient and he was not going to unload the car until I proved I had insurance for 30 days.

    We went around a few times, and my agent tried to text a few other documents to me to show the driver and each time he was not satisfied. Now my excitement had been crushed and I was getting upset that I hadn't been informed that this was a requirement and that what I had uploaded was not sufficient. I was at the point to tell him to get back in the truck and leave and frankly his attitude towards me and the situation was not helping. The man had a chip on his shoulder. My wife came out while I went in to contact support. While I was waiting both online and on the phone for a support person to help us, my wife and the agent showed him the very document I had uploaded to the system and the ones he had texted to me earlier and somehow the driver was appeased and he unloaded the vehicle.

    After he had loaded our old vehicle and had left I finally got to talk to a support person on the phone. I explained what had happened and how the drivers attitude had upset me so much. The support person said this was NOT THE CARVANA EXPERIENCE they wanted me to have; It wasn't the one I wanted either. She further explained she didn't know what the driver had a problem with because the insurance binder I had uploaded was exactly what they wanted. There shouldn't have been any question during the delivery. I was affected by the bad experience I had the remainder of the day and the next.

    In addition the the very poor delivery we experienced the vehicle had some paint chips on the bumper that were not listed in the ad. I reported that to Carvana. I was told that we had 3 cosmetic requests that we can enter during the 7 day trial period. So I turned in the bumper and it was approved to be repaired. A day or so later I notice another paint chip on one of the rear doors. I reported it as well. This chip was more worrisome as I could see that the chip went all the way to the metal and that it was starting to rust. The bumper was plastic and if it wasn't repaired wouldn't be a big deal. However, the door chip was denied as "normal wear and tear" on a used vehicle. I found another paint chip near the roof, it wasn't as bad as the one on the door so I didn't even feel like trying to get it fixed. So much for 3 cosmetic repairs.

    All in all, I was happy with the vehicle selection that Carvana offers, okay with the trade in value we got for our old car, and okay with the price of the new one. The process to purchase the vehicle is straightforward and not too troubling. However, the experience with the driver regarding my approved insurance and his lack of customer service really, really, killed our opinion of Carvana. Would I buy another vehicle from Carvana, maybe, maybe not, would I recommend it to others, probably not.

    I have been a Carvana fan since I purchased my first vehicle from them in 2018. I have since purchased personally, or referred friends and family, who have purchased from Carvana since 2018. I live in Georgia and therefore purchased from Georgia. I referred a cousin, who was very satisfied and purchased from Carvana in California. So, when my daughter, who lives in Illinois needed a car, naturally Carvana was my first thought. We went online and chose several cars and my daughter fell in love and decided on one. Of course, Carvana offers a 7-day guarantee, the ability to trade cars if not satisfied, and all things to attract and secure your business; and until Carvana in Illinois, I was sold. I made a very hefty down payment, my daughter picked up the car and finally she was mobile.

    The car was in pristine condition cosmetically, but in the first day while driving she notice a slight oil leak. No Worries!! We have the guarantee and Carvana has a relationship with SilverRock Warranty for repairs. Per agreement, we found a Carvana/SilverRock repair facility and had them look at the car. They found where the leak originated and stated that it would take a few hours for repair, but they could not start repair until they received approval from SilverRock. Cue the drama! Silver Rock’s practice is to take 3-4 days to approve the repair! We call CARVANA ILLINOIS for assistance in expediting the matter, given the time constraint and they can do nothing even though the car was purchased under a 7-day Guarantee and the clock is ticking!!!!

    What about the partnership that they have with SilverRock on cars that are under the 7-day warranty? I feel so sorry for the customer advocates as they can do nothing but read from a script and tell you how sorry they are. When we asked to just trade the car out, they stated that they would need additional down payment on a car that was the exact same price as the one in disrepair! Why would we give more money and wait more days for empty promises?!

    This is a matter that could have been handled in a few keystrokes and a phone call; if Carvana truly wanted to satisfy the customer and sell a car! We didn’t decide to quit the deal until Carvana defaulted on the 7-day guarantee! We are 10 days into this situation with no car, no money and only the promise of down payment return in a few days. A down payment that they received within a few minutes. I am no longer a Carvana fan in any state! Technology is so wonderful, but nothing takes the place of a sit-down talk and a test drive prior to purchase! Let the buyer beware! Visit a dealer! See. Touch. Drive your new ride before you make that down payment!!!! Shame on you Carvana!!!!

    The mere fact that they said it was noted to speak with a manager for an exception and then they did not give it because of a 24-hour time frame that they could not provide information. Happy for all those it went great for them as I am sure people will continue to use them, just wouldn't count on it. If I could have given 0 and still written something because I read the stories and said, "Naw not Carvana, I used them like so long ago and it was kinda cool, NOW LOOK AT ME (smh)."

We dropped off the car and Carvana did a test drive. We removed our plate. Payment was sent directly to our bank 2 days later. Overall, a very satisfying transaction.

    I've purchased from Carvana twice now. Both times there were un-disclosed cosmetic defects. The most recent had scrapes and chips in the paint and the car had been re-painted in certain areas. A repaired front bumper clip was reported upon delivery, with scrapes and unreported chips above it. I think the damage occurred while in transit. Carvana refused any responsibility saying it was considered normal wear, even though it wasn't listed in the imperfections prior to purchase. While it didn't affect the function of the car, I was disappointed that Carvana denied responsibility.

    While looking to upgrade my car I wanted to see options other than a low ball trade from a dealer. The Carvana site and process to obtain an offer was pretty seamless. I would recommend supplying your VIN when using this process as it really covers all the vehicle details. The offer on the vehicle was quick and hassle free and was well above any trade offer. After I accepted the offer the sale paperwork was quick and easy with digital signature options. I scheduled my pick up (which I was charged for) as the closest drop off location was 90 miles away. There was good communication during the process and the day of pick up the driver Kaley contacted me frequently with updates.

    My only point of frustration was that my vehicle was not picked up but rather kept on my property after completing the sale and picked up the following day. I was frustrated as there was not mention that this may happen and when I tried to contact Carvana the call center agent was less than helpful. However I commend Kaley, she listened to my concerns and really made the process smooth. Kaley inspected my vehicle, handed me my check and apologized again for the inconvenience. The car was picked up early the following morning. Overall this was a great experience and I would use the service again.

    The takeaway: Selling my 2014 Ford Fusion to Carvana was a great experience, and I'll use them again if I ever need to sell another vehicle. The details: Carvana's estimate came in higher than all the local dealership estimates I received, even accounting for the pickup charge. (Yes, there will probably be a pickup charge if you choose not to drop off the vehicle yourself, which I hadn't considered until making the pickup appointment. However, I found the charge fair, as Carvana had to drive 280 miles round-trip in my case.)

    Since I'm a worrier by nature, I was concerned that some paperwork snag or random hiccup would derail the sale, but not so! The sale took about 15 minutes (I elected to complete my sales doc online ahead of time), and payment took place at completion of the sale as promised. As a final point, I appreciated how virtually the whole process took place online, and that I didn't have to speak to any humans until the rep showed up for the sale. :p

    I would highly recommend selling a car on Carvana as my experience was great. I never even considered Carvana, but when a dealership would only give me $15,000 for my car and I told them that wouldn’t work, they recommended I try Carvana. I was shocked when Carvana offered me $19,300 for my car! It was Halloween week and I was super busy so driving 50 minutes away to drop off the car wasn’t ideal. For an extra charge, I paid for them to pick it up at my house. I didn’t have to put any money out, they just deducted it from the amount they were going to give me. It was well worth it because they came, inspected the car and 15 minutes later they were gone! My 10 year old also enjoyed watching them put it on the small flatbed.

    The money was direct deposited and available the next day. It says it can take 1-2 days, but my money was available to me the next morning which was great because I couldn’t buy my new car until I had the money. I can’t say how buying a car on Carvana would be and I would probably be more hesitant about that, but selling a car on Carvana is highly recommended!

    I went through Carvana because I like the idea of no haggling and spending hours at a car dealership. That part was great. Then my car arrived and it was filthy inside with visible stains and a ripped backseat. (Carvana did send a detail voucher but this shouldn’t have even been an issue.) None of these damages were on the listing. I was referred to Silverrock which I’ve been trying to get my false advertised purchase repaired for almost 3 weeks. The body shop says Silverrock is a pain in the ** to work with so I still have no resolution. They give you an option to return the car but the 1888.00 you spend to deliver is non refundable because I have an extra 2k to give them for their false advertising. I will never do this again and I regret not checking every review source before making my purchase.

    So while Carvana will not sell a vehicle that has had an accident reported to CARFAX, they most certainly will sell one that has not been reported. The vehicle in question was a 2013 Camaro SS maroon in color. It arrived with paintwork to the right side door, fender and hood. It had overspray from a terrible home repair to the hood, rocker, A pillar and front bumper. It said it had passed a 150 point Carvana certified inspection. How it passed when the paintwork was so bad the transporter didn't even have to take it off the delivery truck to see the issues I don't know.

    Do not buy from them online without seeing the vehicle first. They do not have full disclosure of damages on their site and are betting on the fact that the consumer doesn't know any better or how to spot issues. Have the vehicle inspected by someone you trust if you do buy from them, and be cautious if it seems too good to be true.

    I had never purchased off Carvana before. I was a bit weary, but I found a specific model of vehicle that was difficult to find, with decent miles, and in my price range. I found exactly what I wanted on Carvana. I am in my late 40s with an 800 credit score. My house is paid off, I have no other vehicle loans and less than $10k on credit cards. My husband and I make well over 100k a year. I requested a quote through Carvana and they gave me a 10% interest rate!!! I ended up going with USAA at 6%, which as we all know in today's world is great.

    I submitted all my information to Carvana, that they required, on Monday Morning. They state that they will be in touch in 1-2 business days if they need any further information. I did not hear a word from them until Wed. Keep in mind, I had already requested a delivery date of the following Monday for my vehicle. On Wed, I had to reach out to them via their Chat service. They then explained that I needed a few more things and to get them submitted right away. I did, within Minutes. I wondered at that time why they did not reach out if they needed more information. Oh and EVERY conversation I had with them, they state "now make sure you get everything done or we won't be able to deliver on Monday and we will have to start all over"!

    Thursday comes, no updates. I reach out via Chat again...they tell me that there is some information they need from USAA. So I then have to contact USAA, and get back to Carvana...which I did within the hour. I had to get a copy of a paper check from USAA and a tracking number and load it to Carvana's website. Then I reached out again via chat. They stated they see they have everything they need and they just need to wait on my down payment to hit (which was pulled out of my account on Monday) and for THEIR Underwriter to call USAA to verify the Check information. Then AGAIN, "if everything is not in by Friday at 5 your order will be cancelled and you will have to start over and your delivery will be delayed".

    Friday 10AM - I contact them again via Chat - "Did you get my down payment?" and "Check from USAA?"...They stated that they did receive my down payment and they see the copy of the check I uploaded. I explained I tracked the actual check and it was delivered as well. They state "ok, we are just waiting on Underwriting to contact USAA"..."And don't forget, if we don't have everything by 5PM..." WTH?!?!? I am waiting on you! NOT ONE TIME the entire week did they contact me, I had to contact them EVERY TIME! So I wait...3PM rolls around, no information, no calls, no emails, nothing. So I contact them on Chat AGAIN, the gal tells me AGAIN, still waiting on Underwriting. Then she tells me if I haven't heard back from them by 4:59PM to call back. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I did not listen, I called in and talked to Underwriting right away.

    Talked to John. John does not call USAA, he says that the "copy" of the check I loaded only had the check part and not the check stub on it. I explained it had been delivered that morning. He called over to the mail department then gets back on and tells me they will have to look for it and he will call me back shortly. NEVER HEARD BACK FROM JOHN! I waited until 5:15 Friday Afternoon, called in, sat on hold for 20 min and finally got ahold of Raya. RAYA is based in the Philippines and was VERY considerate but she told me the same thing that John did about finding the check and still needing to call USAA. She started to tell me it would take them a couple more days and that my delivery would be delayed. I had already sold my car so it was imperative I got it delivered on Monday. I lost it!!!! I went off on that poor girl.

    When I was done, very calmly she tells me that she would be upset too. She asks me to hold on. She put me on hold for 5 min and when she came back on she had found the check and she had reached out to USAA. We had a 3-way call to verify the check information and when we were done, she verified that I would be getting my vehicle on Monday. She was the ONLY person at Carvana that seemed to care at all and not only did her job but went above and beyond to take care of me! I give her 5 stars. But I WILL NEVER buy another vehicle through Carvana again!!! My car showed up in the time it was supposed to and the delivery gal was very efficient...best part of the whole experience! I DO NOT RECOMMEND BUYING A CAR WITH CARVANA!

    The online (contactless) process is a bit clunky and not clearly lined out on the website. I used a third party lender for financing.

The photos on the listing would have been better viewed if I could have made them full screen. (I was using Chrome) I would like to have seen some photos of the undercarriage of the vehicle. I was a bit surprised of the amount of rust and corrosion on the underside. The Carfax report indicated the vehicle spent its life in a winter climate so I should have expected it.

    In early August 2023, I found a car on the Carvana website that I thought might work for me. I ordered it and planned to trade in my current car. Things went smoothly online and the day came for them to bring my new vehicle. The gentleman came with it, I drove it around for maybe 5/ 6 minutes and thought it was fine. Explanations were made, I signed all papers and he took off with my previous car. I decided to go for another little ride in the new vehicle, drove about 3 minutes and the car putt-putted to death and would not start again. Not a battery problem, a fuel injection issue.

    I called the trade-in guy, he said 'sorry' but that was it. I called everyone at Carvana, they said 'sorry'. I, at that moment, decided to swap the new car out for another one and told them. Had to have the car towed back to my parking lot and looked for a new car. Of course, at this point, I had no car. So I went out and rented a car at the cost of $800 because they only had huge cars left to rent. In the meantime, I am calling Carvana to get them to pay for my rental. But nnoooo! Only SilverRock can reimburse for car rentals, but because I did not send the car to a repair shop, they would not cover my rental.

    So, I ate the cost myself. My new car was to come a week later. As with many companies these days, they were short handed for drivers (transportation issues) and couldn't get it to me for another week. Of course, they didn't tell me until the day it was to come, my rental was to go back that day and, again, no car. So, I rented another car so I could do things like get to work, but groceries, you know. Second rental cost me only $600. Again, I was constantly calling Carvana & SilverRock and getting nowhere. They all said 'sorry', but could not connect me to anyone that could make an impact on my issue.

    I want to tell you that all of the customer service people were very compassionate and great listeners, never telling me that I was wrong. One even said that there should a way to help people who are having this kind of trouble with Carvana. My rental costs were not created by my mistakes. Both times it was on Carvana - not checking that the first car was ready to go and not planning well with 'transportation issues.' Carvana communicating with me was very weak and their customer service process needs major work. They may not care what I think of them, but I will not be working with them again.

    Horrible. I wish I could give 0000 stars. The buying process was simple but that’s where the good ends. Had the pickup 3 days and it started losing power in the engine. Contacted the sham warranty company-Silver Rock. They sent a tow truck which took the pickup to a nonexistent repair shop. Obviously, the driver was peeved but agreed to take it to a different shop. Apparently, it has to go to a make-specific/dealership repair shop. So my husband towed the pickup himself because Silver Rock only covers 10 miles for a tow, they told me it would be OVER $900 to tow 60 miles. Living in rural Oklahoma- the nearest shop was 60+ miles away. The pickup has been sitting at the dealership waiting for repair for about 1.5 months. We had it 3 days.

    Now weeks of back and forth with Carvana, silver Rock and the dealership. It really seems like they are trying to run out the clock for the 90 day limited warranty. They sent multiple “inspectors” to the dealership to verify it needs a new motor (per the dealership). They finally authorized the claim but are using a REFURBISHED engine with about 45k miles. Still waiting for the engine to arrive and who knows how long it will take for the actual repair. The finance company has been blowing up my phone - they want their money but we HAVE NO TRUCK! Carvana washed their hands of us and pushed it off onto Silver Rock. I have spoken to so many people, been told they will get back to me ASAP. The only people calling me are the finance company. This situation is incredibly stressful and disheartening. They have no accountability. DO NOT BUY THRU CARVANA.

    I began to lose my vision slowly over the past few months, to the point where driving became less and less of an option for me. I knew that I would eventually have to sell my truck (Dodge Ram 1500 Hemi), but I had hope that my diagnosis would change, and things would get better for me. Unfortunately, that is not the case. As I contemplated selling my truck, I thought about how much haggling I would have to do at a car lot or how much time and effort I would have to put into selling it personally and honestly, with all that I am already facing, I just didn't have the will power to try any of those options.

    My wife had heard about Carvana from infomercials and online ads and looked up the site to read the reviews from past and present customers. After doing some in-depth research on Carvana, she then went on to Kelley Blue Book to see what the value of our truck was in accordance with their site. After learning what our value was, she then went back onto Carvana, put in all of our information, and waited for their estimated value to come back.

    In those minutes of waiting, I, the ever skeptical, told her that there was no way that Carvana would even come close to the Kelley Blue Book value and that she was wasting her time. Boy was I wrong. Not only did Carvana come back with the same value of Kelley Blue Book, but they also offered pick up service right from my home (for a small nominal fee). With the help of an outstanding customer service agent (Tyler **) we accepted their offer, set up a pickup date and time, and signed all of our paperwork. The process was just that easy. All of the paperwork was easy to understand and there were no hidden cost or fees, and no stipulations or agendas. Just a very easy sale.

    On the day of the vehicle pick up, the tow driver, Anthony, was running a little behind and reached out to let me know an updated estimated time of arrival. I appreciated his ability to keep me informed, as it is a rare occurrence to have that type of customer service with customer involvement in this day and age. Once Anthony arrived, within 15 minutes everything was done, and I walked away with a check in hand. I just want people to know how grateful I am to Carvana, to Tyler (**) and Anthony for making an experience that could have been so much harder to face, such a pleasant experience. I will always be grateful for your service, your honesty, and your excellent customer care.

    I would not recommend buying a car from Carvana. I purchased a 2017 Subaru Forester that had a small dent/rust spot on the trunk. This was not visible in any of the 3 pictures they labeled “Imperfections” The next day and was told that this was acceptable under their used car standards.. and that I could exchange the car. It took me weeks to find a used Subaru, so I decided to keep it and pay for the repair myself. Then 2 weeks later the transmission breaks.

    It happened 3 days before a scheduled trip to the mountains. Because it wasn’t a general repair they couldn’t look at my car until the following week, after my trip. So now I’m stuck renting a car for my trip that will not be covered under the warranty. So in summary Carvana sold me a car with a rust spot and broken transmission! If you do decide the take the risk and buy a car from them, make sure you look at the pictures of the vehicle very carefully and buy the warranty!!

While I did not purchase from them: selling my car to them was a smooth process.

    As we all know now the integrity of this company is terrible, I was sold a lemon and had to do multiple repairs on the car. But to ignore a recall notice and sell the car is foul! Now I have a car with a seized engine and a remaining car note to pay! I will be taking them to court since they refused to work with me directly! Run far away from this company!!

    Vehicle arrived and the Wind Deflector was not with the Vehicle as advertised. Notified Carvana. The vehicle purchased was a convertible. Carvana stated in their contract states some vehicles may not have a part included. This was a disappointment that Carvana would not make the sale whole by providing the Wind Deflector noted to Carvana within the 7-day period as requested by the purchaser.

    The vehicle I purchased I had inspected by the make of the Car dealership for a second opinion. The dealership recommended having a used part on the vehicle replaced by original part for preventative maintenance, pertaining to the cooling system. Notified the warranty department Silver Rock. Their reply was they would only cover this if the part was leaking. Yet, another disappointment. Also, Carvana requires the customer to have a REG31 form completed to send back to Carvana for registration to provide customer with their license plates. After the 7 days then Carvana will continue with the DMV processing. I wouldn't call this a smooth process of purchasing a vehicle with Carvana.

    Mom, too old to drive any longer was reluctant to sell her car. I’ve seen Carvana around the area and tried them not sure what to expect. They were amazing. Not being tech savvy they were helpful and patient with me as I went through the process. When time came to pick up vehicle they were kind and understanding as mom was emotional about losing her mobility. Thank you Devon. Got a fair price as well.

    I recently purchased a 2018 Ford F150 Limited From Carvana, it was delivered to me on 9/02/23. Delivery of the truck went okay but once we drove the truck that week we noticed it was driving rough. I contacted Carvana and they pushed me off to the warranty company Silver Rock who sent me an hour away to a preferred repair shop. They insisted it was just the tires and replaced them. The next 3 weeks all I have been dealing with is going back and forth to repair shops just to find out now my brake rotors and Transmission all need to be replaced. Carvana does not want to help at all now because they said it is a warranty issue, not theirs.

    They take no responsibility for selling me a unsafe vehicle with severe mechanical issues that put myself and my family at a safety risk. I am currently without the truck for a week and have been told it will take at least another week for the warranty company to send Ford parts and I haven't even made my first payment on the truck yet. Do yourself a favor and shop at a car company that stands by their products and doesn't put their customers at a safety risk.

    I received an estimate from them and had to cancel my flight arrangements and buy a new ticket so I could be present at the time the vehicle would be picked up. The morning of, I received an email and text, stating they would arrive at 11am and to remove plates, etc. At 10:14, they call and say they have a staffing shortage and won't be able to pick up my vehicle that day and wanted me to reschedule. I was not about to buy a 3rd plane ticket. Plus they were gonna charge me $200 just to come get my vehicle. They made no offer or attempt to reconcile my situation despite the extra efforts I had made to be present for their arrival.

    Their drop off location was 191 miles away, so that was not an option for me, which I had already stated numerous times in the days prior. I requested to speak to a manager. Apparently this manager was at their corporate location, and no effort was made and he seemed to have no problem losing the business either. I couldn't rely on them to be there, why would I make more arrangements to meet them? I live in NY and the vehicle was in Ohio and was supposed to be picked up in Ohio. I wouldn't give them a 1, but 0 wasn't available to leave as a review rating.

    I recently purchased my car with Carvana a few weeks ago from the Orlando location. I drove the car home for my 7 days trial period and discovered the AC did not work or the Bluetooth. I tried to switch out the car for another of an equal value, but Carvana's system was not working and a ticket was submitted for the error. I used their warranty to get a mechanic out to fix the AC in the meantime waiting for my new pickup date for the new vehicle. On the new pick up date, I go to swap out the vehicle at the Orlando location, and the system did not update it, so it appeared as if I bought two cars instead of swapping them. I was unable to take home the new car, and had to cancel that swap. I decided to keep the first vehicle, and just deal with the AC repair because the system error was not worth the hassle.

    I went through Carvana's third party, Repair Smith. A mechanic came to my house and fixed the AC no problem. The mechanic said oil had spilled on the engine because the vehicle came with no oil cap. Even though Carvana claims to have "inspected" the vehicle, there was no oil cap and the AC was broken upon the initial purchase. I purchased my own oil cap after the AC was fixed. Two days later, the car begins smoking from the engine while I'm driving it. Turns out, the oil that had spilled was causing the smoke. I have to take the vehicle to a Pepboys Auto so the engine can be washed so it'll stop smoking when driving it. After this the vehicle drives fine.

    Then later on, I see the recalls on my vehicle that Carvana had listed. Carvana could not tell me if the previous owner had addressed the recalls, or if they themself had addressed the recalls since they do their "150 point inspection." So I take the vehicle to a dealership to check out the recalls. They were fine. So after all of that hassle because Carvana did not check the vehicle thoroughly, I thought the car was fine. However, today, as I am getting errands, the battery light all of a sudden comes on while waiting at a traffic light. There were no lights on prior to this. Mind you, 3 mechanics have looked at the vehicle at this point and deemed it all good, four mechanics if you count Carvana's inspection. The car beeps and says "transmission service needed now" and the batter dies at the intersection. I had to push the car and get someone to jump it. After the jump, the car dies again after 30 seconds of driving.

    And now I have another repair scheduled. I understand there is the limited 100 day warranty, which I am grateful for. But my complaint is that Carvana did not check or inspect this vehicle or list any of these problems on the car listing. I have only had the car for 3 weeks and all of the malfunctions have occurred but Carvana had a "guarantee." I want someone to take a look at this issue because this is getting out of hand. Did I buy a piece of junk? Is Carvana selling garbage to consumers and hiding their problems? It has been very frustrating.

    When purchasing through Carvana, you are relying on the photos to be accurate as you must purchase the vehicle before seeing it in person. You make your decision about the value of the car and whether you want to buy it based on those photos. When I arrived to pick up the car that I purchased, there was damage to the inside of the door, stains on the seats, and tears in the armrest that were NOT in the photos or noted under "imperfections". I was assured by the Carvana rep that these would be fixed by Carvana since they were not noted.

    I filed my claim with SilverRock, Carvana's carrier, to have the items fixed as promised. They are refusing to fix them. They basically say "Whoops sorry we didn't show that in the photos, but that's normal wear and tear." They also waited until my return window was closed to tell me they won't fix anything. To repair these things on my own will cost hundreds of dollars, and I would have taken that into account when I decided whether to purchase this vehicle at the price listed. This is deceptive sales practices.

    I'm still waiting to hear if the mechanical issues with the car will be fixed -- it needs an alignment, the camera is broken, the antenna is broken, the interior dome light is broken, and the driver's side window doesn't stay in place. Again... none of these things were noted prior to purchasing the car.

    Updated on 10/23/2023: Following up - Carvana did step up and cover the battery replacement. I do appreciate Janet working through that with me. I would love to say that was the end of the story, but unfortunately it is not. Since I got the truck back, it is still pulling to the left when the brakes are applied. Also, it now seems to have an issue with the transmission that I will have to get checked out. Firestone does not work on transmissions, so I'll have to source another shop for that. Once the transmission issue is resolved, it'll have to go back to Firestone to have the brake issue addressed. These will be trips 5 and 6 to the shop since the truck was purchased. I'm assuming I'll have to pay more deductible money for both shops at $100 each. Running total now is $500 out of pocket. As much as I like the truck, it's quickly becoming more of a hassle and frustration than it's worth. Is it too much to ask for dependable transportation that doesn't stay parked at the shop more than my house?

    Original Review: I purchased a 2017 Silverado from Carvana. The bad experience started from day 1 just getting the truck picked up. I got to the pickup location about 30 minutes early and had to wait almost 3 hours before I was approached by a Team member asking if I had been helped. 2 different people asked me that about 30 minutes later before anyone actually helped. When they brought the truck around, I was told one of the tires was flat which they had to air up and the truck had not been washed. The associate let me know it would be about another 45 minutes until the detailing was done. His advice about the tire was "keep an eye on it, if it goes flat again you can go through SilverRock for a tire repair". After driving off the lot, the first time I hit the brakes, the truck pulled very hard to the left. I took it to an approved vendor and was told SilverRock would not cover it because their discounted price was lower than the $100 deductible.

    They also told me I was not eligible for the discounted price and had to pay full price which was over $100. SilverRock was also told that the battery was bad and needed to be replaced. SilverRock denied the battery saying it was a wear item and I would be responsible for replacing. I had to take the truck to the shop 2 additional times to get the alignment corrected so it was safe enough to drive without pulling. I left work a few days later and the check engine light came on. I took the truck back to Firestone, now for the 4th time - They diagnosed and said the battery, alternator, plugs and wires needed to be replaced. SilverRock stated they would only replace the alternator. After speaking with SilverRock and Carvana and ultimately telling them if they were not willing to cover the repairs for that were present at the time of the purchase, I would surrender the truck and they were free to pick it up.

    I asked the CS person I was speaking to to transfer me to a manager, her response was - "You can speak to anyone you want to, but the answer will be the same". Shortly after, I was transferred to a member of Management who agreed that I should not be having these issues. They ultimately stated they would cover the battery, but I would have to pay for it and get reimbursed. It is very frustrating to buy a vehicle that supposedly goes through an inspection process and then have to pay out of pocket to make it safe to drive.

    The entire process of getting any repairs completed is a joke. Customers should not have to escalate in the way it was done just to get any kind of resolution. I am still working with them on the resolution of the battery and should hopefully get some kind of resolution today. I have a feeling I'll pay for the battery, but they will find a way to either not reimburse or pay less than what the cost is. Hopefully not, but I'm not holding my breath. Overall terrible experience.

    I've sold a car to Carvana before and had a great experience. Last night I tried to purchase a car and out of nowhere the price and rates shot way up. I thought maybe it was a deeper credit check (I went through a rough period and it affected my credit) so I kept going. then when I went to sign the contract there were two separate charges I had never said yes to, and I discovered that's why my payment structure had changed. (Mind you - it added an entire extra year of payments AND an extra $35/month)

    When someone reached out to confirm my email and zip code I asked them about it and they were very robotic. I honestly think they may actually be a bot... They explained what the charge was and it was something I had said yes to for $33/month, not for $35month and an extra year of payments. I asked to speak to a supervisor and he's insisting I can only talk to someone over chat - that if I want a human I'll have to wait 72 hours. Weird, because if someone is available now they can TALK now. It feels like they only want my money in every part of my interaction.

    Buying a Porsche from Carvana would not have been my 1st choice but it turned out to be a great experience. I was looking for a low mileage Boxster from 2013-2015. I assumed that they would be overpriced but I was wrong. I had certain things that were a must, manual transmission, Bose stereo, etc.. Their website made it easy to choose and I watched for about 2 weeks before making a choice. I was also going to sell a 2013 Corvette and their offer was just about exactly my asking price plus I realized an extra $1800 in tax savings as when you trade a car that you've already paid taxes on you only pay sales tax on the difference. So I actually got $31.1K for the Corvette instead of the $30K I would have asked. They delivered my Porsche and picked up the Vette at the same time. I signed a few papers, very easy.

    The only major issue was a Crack in the windshield. The delivery man noticed it before I did and 6 days later Safelite came out and installed a new windshield. All in all a great experience. Another plus is a 30 day 4K warranty in case there is something major wrong. It's not a lot but it's more than you will get buying a used car from an individual or most dealers. So far the car is better than I expected. No haggling, no dealer **, no having to hang up on all the stupid calls you get trying to sell a car on Craig's List. The whole Carvana experience was a big surprise and I recommend highly. I cannot comment on their financing or insurance as I paid the difference in cash and use my own insurance. This is certainly the best experience I have ever had buying a car.

    I heard about Carvana from a friend and I’m never going back to the old way of going to a dealership and waiting for hours to get a car!! This process was seamless. From me first putting in my information and getting pre-approved. To me being able to search and save my favorite cars. To me then deciding to get a car and receiving the exact payment amount. To the purchasing process which only took half an hour!! The entire thing was great and then I was able to add my own insurance to the car and schedule my delivery date and time!! Carvana provided the car fax and full details of the car and I never had that “salesperson” pressure that you get when you go to a dealership!!

    I was notified by Carvana via text and email every step of the way!! They did a 100 point check of the vehicle before it arrived and they stick to their word regarding the 7-day money back guarantee and limited 100 day warranty. I will say, that you should definitely purchase one of their extended warranties when getting the vehicle because it came in handy for me.

    Upon arrival of my vehicle, I drove it and noticed that the brakes had a little grinding/rumbling. I asked the delivery guy to see and he said they looked ok from a visual check but he could feel what I meant when he drove it. He said he would make a note in the system and I could utilize my warranty to get new brakes. I immediately scanned the warranty code and found a Carvana repair shop. I called and the owner said to bring the car in and they would do a full check of the car and brakes.

    I brought the vehicle in the next day and they found that it did need new brakes and there were a few other issues that needed to be addressed. They contacted the warranty company for authorization and within a day they called me and said that the authorization was approved, they were ordering the parts and the tire, and I could bring the car back to get fixed. They did all the work and the car runs like it’s brand new now!! For once, I had a warranty that actually adhered to what it said it would!! I’m super happy about that. I’m also happy that I took it to the repair shop because even though it’s a 2021 vehicle you never know if there are issues!! Overall the entire process was flawless and I am definitely recommending Carvana for all!!

    Purchasing Tips are:
    1. Make sure you purchase the extended warranty because the limited warranty they give you doesn’t allow for certain Issues (such as brakes) with the car.
    2. Take the car to the Carvana approved repair shop before your 7-days are up so you know if you are keeping the car or returning it.

    3. Enjoy the easiest buying process ever from the luxury of your own home!!

    I will continue to use Carvana for all my future purposes and have already spread the word to my friends and family!!

    Most of my experience went well. But a few days after delivery, my one fob provided had one stiletto key would not fit the lock on the driver door. And it wouldn't fit the two locks on the back seats either. Six days later I took the car to the Arlington Cadillac dealer. They made me 2 fobs for $700, and after paying I discovered I now had 3 stiletto keys that won't fit my car's door lock. I used the chat with my Carvana in my account and was referred to a specialist. After I spoke to the specialist, I was told bluntly that they could not help. I made sure she understood that this car came with non working stiletto key when it was delivered. She said she understood me, but could not help with my key issue. A month later I had routine service at the Arlington Cadillac dealer and gave them written instruction to make a key from my VIN or rekey the door locks.

    When I picked my car up they completely ignored the key request. Now that dealer is closed. The Fort Worth Cadillac dealer would not return my calls when I asked for their help. A few month later I made a service request to rekey my cars from a Lock and Safe company in Fort Worth. The tech that came to my home said he could reset the system, but could not rekey the door after all. Three months ago I found a Cadillac customer support number. And they were able to convince the local Cadillac dealer to make a key from my VIN and then rekey the door. I contacted Carvana, in late September, and asked for a reimbursement for my key service. I was instructed to fill out a claim form. My claim form said I would get an answer within 3 days. I'm still waiting. I think it odd the door key would not fit. Was my car wrecked or repaired with another door? I think my 100-day Cavana warranty should pay for it since I did report it within one week.

    Bridgecrest customer service is all outsourced overseas with those who struggle with English but use annoying customer service prompts as "I understand", I apologize, etc., and everytime they say, please call back in 5 days and we should have an answer. Here it is almost 3 months after the accident and I still have not been refunded. I have tried escalating to the manager, etc, but all say the same thing that they are emailing the finance department to determine what my refund should be. I will never use nor recommend Carvana simply based on this interaction.

    I purchased a 2019 750xi BMW with 42,000 miles for $48,000, in May 2023. By August 2023 my check engine light comes on, so I take to the BMW dealership. They told me that there were 2 burrow nests in engine and major engine issues, which totaled $6,500. I contacted Carvana and they said I was over the 100-day warranty. It was impossible for me to cause $6,500 worth of damage in 3 months, and they refused to help because I did not purchase the warranty. This is the 2nd vehicle that I have purchased from Carvana, and both cars had mechanical issues. I will never purchase a vehicle from Carvana again, and I will never recommend them to anyone.

    Gave Carvana my car's details on Friday, they gave me an offer on Saturday, they adjusted their offer on Sunday. Wednesday they came, inspected my car and handed me a check. Had to figure a couple of things out as I was not familiar with their process but all in all it was pretty straightforward and I was very satisfied with the whole process. They actually gave me full book price on my vehicle when dealerships in this area would only offer $1000 less than book price.

    Your feedback is incredibly valuable as Carvana is always looking to improve the customer experience. We know how excited our customers are to purchase a new vehicle, but when that vehicle is delayed it certainly hinders that experience. This is never our intent as we know how our customers rely on their vehicles to arrive on time for their means of transportation and lifestyle. We are very sorry to have inconvenienced you. Although you experienced bumps along the way, we appreciate the patience you had with us, and we hope you’re loving your new ride.

    Love Carvana and have purchased 3 cars through them. This last experience was still good, but had to take our new Volvo into the dealership on day two, because the seatbelt was broke, a transmission bracket was broke and the air conditioner was also needing to be repaired. It was all covered by Carvana warranty, but really disappointing. They claim to do a 150 point inspection, but missed those three things, one that was pretty major. I still love Carvana, but now I know to get an inspection of my own down immediately after purchase.

    I'll preface my review with the fact that I pre-ordered my car, which means that I ordered it before they actually had the vehicle in stock. That being said, the online experience was amazing. I was able to find the vehicle I wanted, obtain financing, and even insure the vehicle all in one place with no hassle. All the terms were well laid out and everything was easy to understand. I also purchased an extended care plan which was affordable and also made available during the buying process.

    After purchasing the car, I had a couple of questions. I initially asked the company's customer service chatbot, Sebastian, but the stock answers it had were unable to answer my questions. Upon being connected with a human CS advocate, I received pretty much the same kind of answers I had received from the chatbot, but instead of the courtesy coded into the chatbot, I was made to feel stupid to the point I ended up apologizing for being unable to communicate my question clearly (and I am not inarticulate). In the end, I just thanked the advocate and searched for the information I needed elsewhere. I finally got it through a phone call with yet another advocate who understood the questions immediately and gave me my answers without issue.

    Picking up the car was a mixed experience. I had to get a ride nearly 90 miles to the nearest pickup center (which I didn't mind). When I got there, the advocate was probably one of the nicest people I've ever met. He was genuinely amazing. He was very courteous, very knowledgeable, and extremely patient with all my questions - I didn't feel rushed or like he was trying to get me out of there as quickly as he could. The advocate walked me through the entire process, explaining not only what needed to be done, but how and why where applicable. He went over all the details of the financing, 7 day return period, warranty, and care plan. He made sure I understood all of it. He answered even more questions. (I know I ask a lot of questions.)

    After the paperwork was squared away, I was given the token for the "vending machine". My car came down and that part of it was novel and interesting. They had placed a huge blue bow on the hood which was a really nice touch, but having been sitting in a glass walled tower in Texas temperatures, the bow was actually starting to melt (I had a good laugh about it - no adhesives were involved and it came right off). Then came the inspection process...

    The inspection process did *not* go as well as I'd hoped. Carvana had detailed a few imperfections and posted photos of them on their website. All of them were cosmetic and I was okay with them. I discovered, however, that in addition to the things listed, there was another, more serious issue. I reported this to the advocate and he said the warranty would cover getting it fixed - or I didn't have to accept the car that day.

    I knew that being able to secure transportation back to the pickup center would be problematic so I decided to get it fixed elsewhere under the warranty. I drove the car home, using nearly 90 of the 400 covered miles under the return policy. Then it got expensive. I had some issues with finding the right repair facility with the warranty company (which isn't Carvana's fault, but they do choose who warrants the vehicles) because they recommended companies who don't even do the kind of work I needed. After finding one that actually did, the nearest one was 73 miles away.

    When I got to the repair facility, they found that the lower control arm bushings in the suspension were beginning to split. The warranty covered that, as well. They also discovered that the car was due for a major service that the dealership hadn't performed. The warranty doesn't cover maintenance, so within a week, I'm having to pay $1083.14 out of pocket to get the car squared away.

    The repair facility said I'd have to return the next day when they got the parts or leave it. Again, I can't reasonably be expected to leave it, so in total, for both trips, I had to travel 292 miles. With the 86 miles I had to drive home originally, I have 22 miles left before I have to start paying for mileage to return it. Considering I actually had to use the car for my own errands, I was already over the limit. Last but not least, one of the features listed on the website is actually not available for the car I got. When I called to register for the service, I found that it had been discontinued on 3 different models. Mine was one of them. In summary:

    •The online shopping experience was very convenient and easy.
    •The online automated support was limited and, in this case, unhelpful.
    •The online human support was mildly insulting.
    •The in-person human customer service is off the charts amazing.
    •The car had defects not listed when shopping
    •The online listing listed features that were unavailable for the vehicle.

    •The car required servicing that could have reasonably been expected of the dealer that cost me over a thousand dollars out of pocket less than a week after purchase.

You're not the only one experiencing this..." Hahaha!! Then I was told to choose a new pick up date/time and then keep checking in!! I stopped searching for a new vehicle when I found this one and fell for their "quick and convenient" tagline... Almost two weeks in and hours online and on the phone, it's been neither quick or convenient, cumbersome and frustrating is more fitting!

    Outstanding Car Buying Experience - 5 Stars! I recently had the pleasure of purchasing a 2016 Lexus GS350 through Carvana, and I can't express how impressed I am with the entire process. From start to finish, Carvana delivered an outstanding car buying experience that exceeded my expectations. Here's why I'm giving them 5 stars: User-Friendly Website: Carvana's website is incredibly user-friendly and intuitive. I could easily browse through their extensive inventory, filter my search, and find detailed information about each vehicle. The high-quality photos and 360-degree tours allowed me to get a comprehensive view of the car I was interested in.

    No-Hassle Pricing: One of the standout features of Carvana is their transparent and no-haggle pricing. The price you see is the price you pay, and it's competitive with the market. This eliminates the stress and uncertainty of traditional dealership negotiations. Comprehensive Vehicle Information: Carvana provides detailed vehicle information, including a comprehensive CARFAX report, service history, and any imperfections on the car's body. This level of transparency is impressive and builds trust with the buyer. Exceptional Customer Service: Throughout the entire process, Carvana's customer service was top-notch. The team was responsive, knowledgeable, and always ready to answer my questions. They made the purchase process stress-free.

    Picking up my car from the Car vending machine was an AWESOME experience and made it so very memorable. I loved getting my Big coin and putting it in the vending machine. My husband videoed the whole experience. 7-Day Return Policy: Carvana offers a 7-day return policy, giving you peace of mind if you change your mind or discover any issues with the vehicle. This policy underscores their commitment to customer satisfaction.

    In conclusion, my experience with Carvana was nothing short of OUTSTANDING. "Carvana Ya Wanna!!!" They have redefined the car buying process with their online platform, transparent pricing, and exceptional customer service. I highly recommend Carvana to anyone in the market for a new vehicle. They've earned every one of these 5 stars! I am a very Happy owner of my new car! I would buy from Carvana again. My car is perfect! And I Love how I received a Carvana Coin in my car for keeps! The whole experience from searching to the day I picked up my car from the vending machine was absolutely Amazing! Thank you Carvana! Sally S.

    I had to help my elderly sister-in-law sell her car that she was no longer driving. Frankly, I wasn't looking forward to dealing with posting an ad and dealing with people coming to look at it. So I gave Carvana a try. After inputting my information I got a basic quote that was well within the KBB estimates for trading in a car. After checking out a couple of competitor sites, it seems like the best option, so I proceeded. After uploading the required documentation, I got my final quote and set up the appointment. One of the factors that favored Carvana was that for an additional charge, they would come up to pick up the car and finalize the paperwork. Since we're an hour away from their location and I really couldn't take my elderly sister-in-law down there, it was the perfect solution.

    The day before the appointment I was able to complete the paperwork and pre-sign all the documents ahead of time. Their driver kept me information of his estimated arrival time and arrived well within the appointment window. He reviewed the car, gave it one final check to make sure we hadn't left anything in it, handed us the check and that was it. If I ever have to sell a car again privately, I'll certainly use Carvana again.

    I gave three stars, because the experience was pretty stress-free but they dropped my vehicle off knowing that there was an issue with the electric parking brake. Shame on them for not fixing it before they gave it to me. It cost me a day's work and it cost me a Saturday afternoon to try to get it fixed. Other than that most of it was a good experience, but I didn’t appreciate having to find a service mechanic same day they gave it to me, so I’m skeptical it would’ve been five stars. If not for that it’s not a bad company. They just need to pay attention to what condition they’re selling you a vehicle for, it’s not a good thing when you drop off a vehicle knowing there’s something wrong with it and not disclosing that, I would buy another vehicle from them though. The warranty was easy. It just cost me a lot of personal time. It’s fixed and I love the vehicle.

    We wanted to sell our car but were not trading in for another car. We got bids through Edmonds, Kelly Blue Book, and several dealers. Carvana came in with the highest offer, so much so that we were sure there was a catch. We were honest about the state of the car, sent in pictures, and uploaded our title and driver's license information. We set up an appointment, positive that we'd arrive and they'd give us some reason why our car was worth less than they originally stated. Far from it! We arrived to find a friendly, competent person waiting for us. He quickly assessed the car, had us sign some papers, and handed us a check for the full amount they had originally offered. We were out of there in 20 minutes. Honestly, it took us longer to move everything to our other car than it did to complete the sale. We definitely would use Carvana again.
