    I bought this car while laying in my bed before I had to go to work. It took me maybe 15 minutes since I already had done the pre approval process. They made everything so easy. Delivery was a breeze and I LOVE my car. Thank you, Carvana!

    Their website appears to make it very easy and seamless to sell your vehicle to them, that is not the way it is. The price offered was really good. I would even admit to being above average. Their payment process was my concern. After reading some recent reviews of bounced checks and problems getting paid, I requested a cashier's check or to have the individual doing the pick-up meet me at a local branch of their bank. I wanted to verify that the funds were available (the check was good) before Carvana transported my vehicle away, remember you are signing your title away to them at the time of pick-up.

    I contacted customer support and was told that Carvana doesn't do that, no cashier's check or verification of funds. I would also be suspect of receiving payment directly to a bank account a few days after they have taken your vehicle to one of their locations. They most definitely need a better and more customer friendly way of paying for vehicles that they are purchasing. I just did not want the aggravation and/or headache(s) of being paid later.

    I sold my 2016 SUV through Carvana at a very fair price that was competitive with other online wholesalers and dealer used car departments. The online offer process and follow-up email/text communications were clear and easy to use. The appointment/pickup scheduling process was easy as well and very quick. Overall, a great experience that will bring me back to Carvana in the future.

    First and foremost, selling our car was done effortlessly and Professional. I must admit a little skeptical at first due to the process of having it all done "Online";, however they made every process to make sure it would be done smoothly and....it was!! Super happy with how this whole process was handled, truly AWESOME!!! From the time you start process until the finish (taking car in) everyone was AMAZING!!!

    Before leaving Carvana with my new car, the person bringing it out to me said there was a cosmetic issue on the driver's seat, it had a rip in it that was not disclosed. She proceeded to submit a ticket for the seat to be repaired. After she submitted the ticket I noticed that the battery light was on. She checked to make sure it was charging and it acted as it was but she said to take it to a Firestone location to have them check it out. Firestone is one of their “Preferred” repair facilities. We went straight there and they checked it and said nothing was wrong, the light would go off soon.

    Well it didn’t go off, so after a week we decided to take it to a local repair facility that we know and trust. They determined it was the voltage regulator so the alternator needed to be replaced. The warranty approved the repair but I had to pay $350 out of pocket to have it done local. I may have went to their “Preferred” repair facility but the closest one to me is over an hour away and they would still require me to pay $100.

    There was an issue with the vehicle before I left Carvana’s parking lot, they should have waived the $350 fee. The seat has yet to be fixed because the dealer no longer carries those seat covers but supposedly the warranty department is searching for the cover. They said there will be no fee to me since the ticket was placed before leaving Carvana, not sure I believe that but here’s hoping. So if you buy from Carvana check EVERYTHING and if something is wrong make them submit a ticket on the spot. Never again will I buy a vehicle from them.

    Overall, I am satisfied with my experience purchasing from Carvana. I was a little hesitant based on the poor reviews I had read. While overall content and found my dream car, I would only give 3/5 stars for a few reasons. Their in-house financing is based on unrealistically high-interest rates that do not seem to be based on personal credit score and the fact that they are unwilling to negotiate on trade-in or sale price.

    They also offered me less than my payoff amount on trade-in, compared to other dealers who offered several thousand dollars more. After purchase, I discovered that only 2 of the 3 remotes worked for the vehicle, and none of the 3 backup keys operated the backup door lock. The convertible wind deflector was missing from its storage location--while I understand that accessories do not often come with used vehicles, this particular accessory comes with the new vehicle purchase and has a dedicated storage location behind the rear seats. So I would expect that a more permanent part would come with the vehicle.

    I went to Carvana to sell my car. It's 12 years old and I was honest. One accident, small scratches in the paint, but overall great condition. I got a price, uploaded everything they needed and two days later, the price dropped by $3000. They said that the condition of the vehicle was changed from great to "just okay". Are you kidding me? The vehicle has low, low miles, but looks almost brand new! There's no one to speak to and if you do get an "advocate" their answer is final deal. Take it or leave it. I'll leave it. Thank you very much. You're better off to try CarMax or just sell it on your own.

    The dealership only wanted to give me pennies on the dollar for my trade-in and I was looking to sell my vehicle without a hassle. Enter Carvana. There are other sites that offer a similar service but they offered me the highest payout. I answered all of the questions (truthfully) and had an offer within minutes. Once I confirmed I wanted to sell, all I had to do was upload a few documents, schedule the drop-off and collect a check. It was that simple. I would 100% recommend anyone to give them a try.

    A few years ago I had a great experience with Carvana. Their cars and service was great. Unfortunately it seems that their customer service and car quality has dropped significantly. I tried to purchase one minivan from them and the car clearly smelled like cigarettes. I used their return policy and got a new minivan. This time the smell was even worse. They even tried to mask it with a car air freshener.

    When I tried to reach out and explain the situation they didn't offer any solutions. I had to pay about $2,000 to get this ashtray smelling car delivered and then they only offered $100 to compensate for this terrible experience. I asked for my money back and then they insisted that I try to get another car from them. This entire process took hours of my day and Carvana showed no empathy or responsibility owning up to their mistake. I highly recommend against using Carvana to buy your next car.

    Ok so overall, the Carvana experience was okay. Selling my vehicle to them was a breeze. No complaints there. The vehicle I purchased there was fantastic and I absolutely love it. Now to why they lost 2 stars. If I was either just selling or just buying or even financing with Carvana it would have been seamless. Where the issue came in was in bringing in a third party lender. The training with the "advocates" is not consistent. Many didn't even understand how to work with another bank and figure out the basic math of the trade. When my bank (who was the same for both my trade-in and the new vehicle) created a draft letter minus the amount that was owed on my previous it took 12 hours of phone calls over 2 days to connect my bank (EECU) to Carvana. My banker was beyond shocked to see how no one understood what they were doing. I almost cancelled the whole thing.

    The reason I did that was because I have excellent credit and work with our bank via business. And they could beat Carvana by 2%. So overall it was worth the work to save $200 a month in payments. But it's not necessary. And this could easily be fixed with some much needed training for the advocates. The only other issue I had was getting hung up on by advocates that didn't know what they were doing so they cancelled the call. Which became super frustrating after waiting 45 min to an hour on hold. But this new truck is kinda like having a baby. It's just so beautiful and wonderful that I can't remember the pain of it getting here...almost.

    I purchased a 2015 Chevy Spark from Carvana. I scheduled a delivery WEEKS in advance and then 45 minutes before my time window was up, the delivery was randomly rescheduled. I had to call to even figure out why, no one called or alerted me as to why this was being delayed. Fast forward to my rescheduled delivery date - I chose the 5-8 pm delivery window. Considering this vehicle had ALREADY been delayed once, you'd think they would prioritize delivering it to me as soon as they could. Nope, I was the last scheduled delivery that night at almost 8pm and getting my vehicle delivered in the dark.

    It was delivered with not even a half tank of gas (really, couldn't fill it up after delaying me an entire week???) and the key FOB battery had burned out so the doors and electric weren't working properly. I had to purchase my own battery for the key FOB. Something that EASILY could have been remedied and checked before delivery. I will be letting everyone know to stay far away from Carvana after this terrible experience and customer service.

    STAY AWAY FROM CARVANA! It's been the most stressful month I have ever had in my life. The website is really well done and you think it'll be easy and fast to get your car.. It will not. Their customer service is incredibly bad, every time you talk with a different person and everyone tells you something different. It took me more than one month to be able to pay them via my lienholder, they make unreasonable requests with 24-hour deadline out of nowhere. It was so stressful! They do not answer calls from lienholders, they cannot do 3-way calls with the bank, they do not accept wire transfer (this they told me after they gave me their banking info!!!!). And every time they tell you that if you miss the deadline you'll have to start all over again.

    And it is not the end, because once you finally are on the day of the pick-up they call you 2 hours before the appointment to say that they have to do "extra check ups" and thus they have to postpone the delivery by at least one week! When I asked for clarifications, you know what they told me on the phone? "You know, unexpected things happen in life". And they ended the call...And it's not over! Because when I finally got my car: 1) the passenger door did not close, both automatically and manually. It was on Friday at 6pm, so when I noticed this they were closed and I had to leave the car open the whole night, after which I had to pay $640 out of my pocket to pay for a weekend repair, given that all the places accepting the coverage offered by Carvana were closed.

    And the low-pressure tire light went on, but they told me "We checked and everything is fine, you have just to go to a repair shop and ask them to turn off the light". You know what? After one week I had a flat tire!!! And I had to pay $50 because the flat tire is not covered by their warranty!!! DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH CARVANA!! And I could go on and on with problems, it has been absolutely a bad month because of them, even the manager at the lienholder company was stressed because of them!!

    Never buy a car from Carvana. 1st I was told I couldn’t test drive until I signed papers and car was registered. Then I test drove and car made all kids of noises and vibrations that 2 weeks later they still haven’t fixed. Failed MA inspection for left headlight assembly and keep getting told it’s an out of pocket expense for me and they refuse to cover it even after they said if the body shop advises it needs to be changed then they would. Yet again claim denied. So I have a 32k car that I can’t legally drive and carvana and their warranty company refuse to do anything about. They say you have 7 days to swap but tell you they will fix the issue if you bring it to one of their preferred shops and get an estimate but drag it on past the 7 days so you're stuck with it. I’m left with no choice but to acquire legal council to do something about this expensive car I can’t even drive yet they refuse to repair properly.

    Absolute worst experience EVER! Please keep in mind that I DO write both good and bad reviews a lot but this review was a MUST! I ordered my car online and was given a 9/1/23 expected delivery date. On 8/31, I was informed that upon transport, the side mirror had been knocked off and needed to be replaced, new delivery date was 9/8. On 9/7, I was informed that the car had not yet been repaired and that the new date was 9/14. When I FINALLY received my car, there was a HUGE scratch on the driver's side door, obviously from when the mirror was knocked off that clearly had been tried to be covered up.

    Carvana surprisingly did agree later to cover the cost of repair on the scratch after MANY phone calls and photos. After a full inspection, I was also told that there was seepage visible on the transmission (a very small leak). Did Carvana agree to pay for that being only the 4th day I'd had the car??.. Of course not! Unless I sent them a live video of the transmission fluid literally coming out and hitting the ground, they would not cover the $1,100 repair!

    Carvana is a joke! They hide things about their cars, hoping their customers don't find out. Their customer service is atrocious, and they love to pass you off to the next person because nobody seems to know remotely what they're doing. Notice how you can't write a review on their website unless they send you an invite to do so??!! I'm returning the car but writing this to hopefully save someone a huge headache and a bunch of time!

    I bought a Ford Focus with approximately 44,000 miles on it on June 2nd. Today is September 19 and the car is still in a garage. As soon as I picked up the car, I noticed that Carvana did not do their job and test it prior to putting it on the market. The car stalled out numerous times. I called immediately. Since then, it has been in 3 garages and is finally at a Ford repair facility. Carvana's guarantor "SilverRock" fights every claim and makes it incredibly difficult for any repair facility to work with them. This Ford dealership put the claim in for repair 2 weeks ago and they still have not gotten approval from SilverRock to fix the car. Bottom line: Carvana sold me a lemon that they did not test drive and now I can't get their insurer, SilverRock, to make the repairs. It's been the worst car buying experience of my life. Carvana does not care. They just run you around in circles.

    From start to finish, my experience with Carvana was smooth and professional. I was looking for a place to sell my vehicle and felt I had been given a bit of a runaround by a dealership who had reached out to me to buy my car. After that experience, the many Carvana advertisements and commercials I had seen came to my mind and I thought I would check out the website and see what kind of experience they offered. I found everything to be straightforward and user friendly.

    After filling out the requested information, I quickly received a quote for my vehicle. And in all the steps that followed, that initial quote amount never waivered or "found a reason" to lower it. I was even prepared for a lowered quote when the Carvana specialist arrived at my home to see the car in person and pick it up. Didn't happen. Carvana was good on their word from start to finish. Honestly, it was the best experience I've ever had with buying or selling a vehicle, and if I ever need to buy or sell again, I can guarantee that Carvana will be my first stop when I shop.

    I began my experience this time with purchasing a 2016 Audi Q? The day before I was supposed to have my vehicle delivered I received an email informing me my purchase was delayed A MONTH due to delivery issues. However after speaking with a representative over the phone, I was told it was mechanical issues that caused the delay. So I decided that was a no go!! I went online to purchase my 2nd choice, which I still really liked. After purchasing and setting up my delivery date, I received a message that delivery was also going to be late but only about a week this time, so I went with it.

    I'm in contact about receiving a refund for the 1st vehicle purchase...a delivery fee of $300. At first I was told this was non-refundable, which I would understand if it was my fault. But...finally the representative got permission to allow the refund. I was told I should have the funds back in my account the following week. If not, then to make contact again. I waited until that Friday and STILL not refund. I spoke again to someone who apologized for the delay and thought we had it all worked out. I was told I should get funds the following week and that it was approved. Almost a week later, I get notification from my bank that they cannot take the refund because of how Carvana tried to send the funds back. I forwarded email to Carvana and this is the response....

    "I apologize that we were unable to issue a refund to your Chime bank account. I have submitted a refund check request to have your refund mailed to the address we have on file for you. The review process for the refund check request can take 7-10 business days, and once approved, the check is mailed via USPS which can take 10-15 business days. Then you’ll receive your check in the mail. Should you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to our Customer Experience Team at 800-333-4554."

    Wow!! Just wow!!! What a nightmare!! So up to 25 days upon what I've already waited...about 3 weeks...so we are talking at least 5 weeks total up to 6 or 7 weeks...This is not the way you treat a customer. On another note, the vehicle was not cleaned before delivering to me...It was supposed to be detailed. There was definite evidence of a dog owner before me...A couple of places where the dog chewed or scratched in the back...along with pet danger and hair. The guy that delivered it said he agreed that it had not been cleaned.

    I love the vehicle...more than I thought I would. It is past the days to return and I started having issues with the vehicle shifting into gear. It almost stalled on my the other day in traffic. I started to push on the gas and it would go and then it happened again last night in traffic. I guess I'm going to have to pay a $100 deductible now to get it looked at by someone (in network). I was promised by a very sweet representative a $100 something for my trouble with the cleaning of the vehicle...Still haven't seen that.

    The day they delivered my vehicle, I got a message first thing that morning that he was on his way and would be there in about 45 minutes to an hour. Cool!!! Only the address was wrong. Another thing I thought I had taken care of from a back and forth email/message conversation I had. NOPE!! Still wrong address. I was told the address which I thought it was going to be delivered to is out of their delivery range. So I had to meet them at the address they had or we would need to reschedule delivery. My advice...If you can find someone else to buy your vehicle from online...Try them first...Not carvana...Not until they get it together!!! I purchased another vehicle from them years ago and the experience was spot on. I also sold that vehicle back to them a few years later. Great experience!! But not this experience. :(

    Carvana had some good points:

    - Easy trade in for a fair value

    - Easy Buying Process

    But the lack of better warranty options can leave you feeling like your tail is hanging in the wind a little bit. I like to be secure in my decisions and know that my major purchases are protected. To do that I had to get a third party warranty that's more economical, longer, and a more comprehensive warranty than any of the Carvana options. Now I feel like my purchase has been vouchsafe.

    They set up an appointment to come pick it. Now note I did not embellish about my used car. It had some dings, scratches and crack in the bumper. The interior and mechanicals are in very good shape for over just 101k miles. I take good care of my cars but can't help the outside wear.

I started looking online on a Wednesday morning and went to the Carvana website and by late afternoon found the truck I wanted. I filled out all the info and paid cash and had the truck delivered the next day. The delivery driver was on time and super helpful. Answered all my questions.

    Hit the easy button! We entered the license plate and description of the car and received a quote in minutes. Loading the documents that are needed (title, license, etc.) was simple. The email updates throughout the process were very informative and simplistic. Dropping off the car was OK, the building needs more signage. Beyond that, the check in process was quick and thorough. You do sign a Power of Attorney for just the title transfer, which was different. But that is similar to a real-estate transaction.

Not only did Carvana give me a very fair offer on my car (compared to a used car lot), but the ease of making an appointment and the process was super simple. The gentleman that came by the house was very friendly and knowledgeable and was at my house no more than 30 minutes (I did have everything ready for his arrival).

    The positives: Easy trade in with a fair price. The employees who did deliver were pleasant and helpful. Negatives: Shipping costs are quite expensive and nonrefundable. You can get cars near you for free but really limits the available cars to choose from. Several cars were improperly advertised which cost me 599$ for shipping for a car I would not have chosen had I known. Another car I was looking at stated "black" when actually "imperial blue".

    The logistics of this company are horrendous. I got 2 cars delivered and sent both back. First car was initially stated as "Have it by Wednesday". I could not do that and requested Friday. A full 48 hours later and they still could not get it to me. Email Friday morning stated it would not be delivered. Decided against it and picked another and again was slated for a Wednesday and again an email stating it would not be delivered. Again I sent this back. Was scheduled for a Friday pick up and they were a no call, no show. I called to have them arrange to pick up Saturday but they cannot take it. Will be a secondary company to take it within 48 hours from my street. It is a hassle. I'd say one missed appointment was OK but they have missed all 3.

    After providing the required details of my car (VIN, mileage, assessment of the car's condition, etc.), Carvana gave me an offer for my 2020 MINI convertible that was about $3000 more than what any of my local car dealerships offered. Using their website, I made an appointment to bring the car to their Philadelphia location.

    When I brought the car to the appointment, a Carvana rep inspected the car. Because the condition of the car matched how I had described it - no dents, super-clean interior, no after-market add-ons, the mileage I reported was accurate - Carvana paid me exactly what they'd offered.

    First off, the online car buying process was exceptional! I love that I did not have to haggle prices or speak to a sleazy dealer. I was able to quickly choose the car I wanted and within 20 minutes, I had everything ready to schedule a pick-up time. That brings me to the downside, the in-person bit (the reason for three stars). I scheduled an appointment to pick up my car on a Friday at 12:15 pm. I showed up a few minutes early and went inside, where I was confused. There was no one at the front desk (or any employees around), there were about 5 other people in the room waiting, and we stood around for about 10 minutes before I saw an employee (but they were talking to another customer).

    Finally, after waiting 20 minutes, an employee came over to us and "checked us in" before walking away again. The several people in front of us looked like they had been waiting a long time too. Eventually, after the other people had gotten their cars, a very nice employee came over and apologized about the wait (but he didn't explain why there was a wait) and began giving us the paperwork and explaining the process. Once the employee came over, we were out of there within the next 15 minutes with my new car (the time was 1:30 pm; an hour and fifteen minutes after my scheduled appointment time). The vending machine was cool, I guess.

    All in all, it was an alright experience, but it was a good thing I was not on a tight schedule. If we had to schedule an appointment at a specific time to pick up the car, they should have been ready for us. I understand there might have been circumstances they couldn't control, but it was frustrating that we weren't informed about what was happening. Again, the employees were super nice and helpful, it just took a long time. This might not be everyone's experience (maybe other locations are different?), but I am letting y'all know. :)

    We purchased a vehicle from Carvana and two months afterwards, while we were on vacation, the AC fan went out. This was corrected with a bypass pulley until we reached our destination, at which time we took the vehicle into one of their approved mechanics. While there, they had to replace the AC fan, replace the battery, and repair the entire radiator system. In doing so, they used a sealant that later led to the head gaskets being damaged beyond repair. When the head gaskets finally did blow, we were still within the three month warranty, but a hundred miles or so over our allowed miles. Carvana refused to help with repairs, but a rep said he would start a delayed buy back. Two weeks later, we still had not heard back from them. So, I reported them to the BBB. They refused to work with us through the BBB.

    Then we were going to bite the bullet and get the car repaired. We were quoted $8,000 on top of the $17,000 we had already paid them (we paid in full for the vehicle before it broke down). Now we just want to sell the car, but we've been told that A. We need to get it running in order to get the tags put on it to sell it, and B. That we were offered an extended warranty, which is a blatant lie on their part as we were never offered this. A year later and we're still trying to work with them to make it right without being litigious.

    This has been the hardest lesson my family has ever learned as it has taken a massive toll on us mentally and has provided a massive inconvenience, on top of being devastating financially. I know a lot of people have had positive experiences with this company, but they have caused nothing but stress, heartache, and financial ruin for my family. I suggest they are investigated for fraudulent practices as well as we have caught them in a few different lies trying to worm out of making it right for my family.

    After deciding to purchase a vehicle and compared and contrasted the offers from Carvana, I moved forward with the purchase. All the boxes checked, all the documents uploaded, money paid through my bank, delivery set, I receive a notice that I missed a deadline. I reviewed all deadlines set forth and met them. The proof of insurance deadline was to be a few days before delivery so I was in contact with my insurance provider getting this handled early so I could upload and have no problems. I went to the Carvana site to get the VIN number and find the car had been cancelled and another person was purchasing it! I was so shocked! I went to my bank website and sure enough, the money had already been paid to them.

    I called Carvana and after a 30 min wait I spoke to a person in underwriting who said I was the one who cancelled, but I hadn't! Then she said I missed the insurance deadline and I told her the deadline was dated the date of the delivery so I hadn't missed it. She then told me she would transfer me to her Supervisor. After waiting another 30mins I speak with a man who I have to repeat all I have already said and he says I need to speak with an underwriter. Huh? He said he was just an agent.

    I get transferred again, to another underwriter who says be patient because she is working from home and there may be some delays with her computer. I go through the whole situation again asking why it was cancelled to which she says she can't tell me why but looked on the site and tells me the car had been pulled from the site, saying something must have been wrong with it or had more issues then they knew prior. Don't they check the cars out first??? I tell her I am so uncomfortable with the situation, disappointed, and angry that I just want my money back. She tells me it is still pending- that they haven't received it yet but she will email the finance department to request the refund. I tell her there were 2 withdrawals - 1 for the down-payment and 1 for the delivery and to make sure I get them both back.

    I also ask that I would like an email from her regarding the discussion as confirmation. She tells me she cannot email me. So I ask for the finance department's phone number which she tells me they do not talk to customers. ??? So now I am sitting and waiting for 5-10 business days to see if I get my money back or up for more problems. Guess what then pops up on my phone - your car you wanted is now available again!

    Vehicle I bought overheated 2 hours after purchase. My car has been in the shop since the day after purchase which has now been 9 days. While Carvana warranty is covering the major issue, I am now past my 7-Day return window and have only driven the car home from the dealership and to the shop. The representatives acted like "no big deal you can swap the car". There were no exact vehicles with the same terms. If you sell a car and it has to be put in for repairs the next day, the return period should start when the repairs are finished. There is no way there was a thorough inspection (as they claim) done. There is a coolant leak and the reservoir was bone dry when we checked it. Sucks that a payment will be due in 3 weeks and I haven't even had the vehicle, but we all know big companies don't really care about us little people.

I was there for almost an hour and the vehicle didn’t get cleaned the way it was supposed to have been but it was no biggie since I declined to wait longer for it to be cleaned. There were no floor mats and I was told they would be here in a month. I did have the opportunity to see my car come out of the vending machine, got a token to take home with me, and love my new car! Despite any issues I WOULD certainly use Carvana for another car purchase. The staff were nice and attentive!

    In June of 2023 I purchased a 2021 Toyota from Carvana. Carvana has a 7 day return policy if you do not like the car - I thought everything was fine until about 3 weeks later when it rained and my back car door started to fill up with water! Carvana also has a warranty through SilverRock that if something happens that they will cover the damage for a 100 dollar deductible if you bring to a preferred mechanic. I brought it to one of their mechanics who immediately said that there was damage done to the back door and that it had been repaired improperly. Carvana had provided a CarFax report that showed no damage was done to the car so their CarFax is not worth anything! SilverRock then denied my claim for a new door as they said it was a "cosmetic issue".

    How is a door filling up with water cosmetic?? That's ok I thought - I will contact Carvana and they will surely stand behind their car. Well think again- I went round and round with Spencer who kept repeating the fact that Silverock was their trusted partner and then finally got on with someone from their "leadership team" named Stephanie who actually implied that I caused the damage to the door and that they can't do anything to make it right because the seventh day had past. She said it wasn't their fault that the CarFax report didn't show that there was an accident! So I guess I have to pay $1800 for a new door to get replaced or when winter comes the water will soak inside and freeze causing further damage. Carvana did nothing for me when it came to this problem and could not care less. Do not EVER buy a car from Carvana!

    I ordered a car on Carvana. Paid upfront, of course. Then, the day before delivery date, I get a message that it was delayed by a week. Same thing repeats over and over. Eventually, after a month of this, I had to simply cancel the order and buy a car from a local dealer instead. The most frustrating thing was, besides always getting notified about the delay the day right before the scheduled delivery, was there was no tracking information on the car at all. The customer service representatives at Carvana could not tell me where the car was, or what was causing the delay, or even if the car existed at all or if this was all a scam. But each time, they would swear that it would be on time at the next delivery date. Which it never was. How can a business ship something as valuable as a car without tracking it at all? It's inconceivable.

    Oh, and of course, they also made me buy insurance for it upfront, and registered it in my name immediately, which made canceling the insurance policy and getting a refund for a car that I never even saw was a significant pain, involving hours spent on hold and being given the run-around by insurance company representatives. Carvana borders on a scam. If it cannot guarantee delivery, doesn't track its shipments and refuses to provide any information about months-long delays, it should be legally prohibited from operating as a business.

    I wish I'd seen these reviews before I decided to buy a car from Carvana. I did buy one and I arranged to have it delivered because I do not drive in Louisville, KY. Everything went fine until my delivery date. The day before, I got an email saying there was a problem with their haulers. I should call to arrange another date. I spoke to a very rude woman who informed me that I had to understand their problem. She said I had to call the 800 number to get another delivery date. I called the number, waited and waited, finally got Tyler. I explained my problem, he said that he was in another department and then suddenly, I was cut off. He'd transferred my call without telling me. I spoke to Joanne, who was very professional and helpful. She gave me another delivery date, which was yesterday.

    I then spoke to Evan, the manager at the Louisville hub, who assured me that I would get the car on Thursday, Aug. 31. Then, I was bombarded with emails and texts asking me to complete various forms, that, it turns out according to Jacob, my online advocate, were unnecessary because I'd already paid for the vehicle. Anyway, yesterday came and went. No car. I called the hub yesterday around 7:40 p.m. Kaylee told me that the hauler had gone home sick at 3. She was surprised that no one had contacted me. I called this morning. Spoke to Greg. I said I expected to have the car delivered today. Nope. Not going to happen, he said. Also, no apology. I called the 800 number. What a joke. Forget actually speaking to someone, let alone getting help. Carvana has demonstrated that they are incompetent and possibly a scam.

    I thought buying a car online would be easier than at a dealership. Boy, was I wrong! at least with regards to Carvana. I placed my order over the weekend and selected a delivery date for the following Wednesday. Awesome! I thought. Then at about 9:30 on Monday morning I got a text from Carvana that I had until 10:45 to submit proof of insurance. But there was no way I could shop for and get new insurance in just over an hour, so I missed the deadline. I thought it wouldn't be a big deal, but turns out they cancelled the order. Someone could have bought the car I wanted right out from under me and there would have been nothing I could do. I had to re-do the order, and this time I had insurance card ready to go. I was promised a delivery for that Friday. Come Friday morning, I receive a text from Carvana again. I assumed it would be that my car was on the way, but oh no, the message informed me that my order had been cancelled due to a 'system error'.

    Of course, there is absolutely no way to speak to anyone at Carvana, only chat is available. So, I jumped on a chat and was told that I had to start over from the beginning--again. And again, someone could have jumped in and bought the car I wanted right out from under me. Thankfully, that didn't happen, but instead of having my new car for the weekend, as I had planned, we had to wait until Wednesday again, a bitter pill to swallow at that point. Then, to continue the drama, Carvana sent me a message stating that they could only accept a cashier's check for my cash payment. Prior to that, I had verified my bank account on their wonderful 'system' twice, but apparently that didn't work so I had to go to the bank and get a cashier's check and submit photos of front and back.

    Then, just a day before my car was to be delivered, I was informed that Carvana still had to "verify" my cashier's check with the bank. I was astounded that they waited that long! I had submitted images of the check days ago, and here we go again fighting with Carvana about their wonderful system and procedures. That's when I decided to write this review. I actually haven't received the car as of yet, but I'm hopeful it will be delivered on time because now Carvana says "if you miss your appointment, the order will be cancelled"--again. Ha!

    As you can see, super frustrating, and you can never really talk to anyone. At one point I asked a person by chat if there was anyone that I could talk to on the phone, and they said "you need to know we are only online". So there you have it. If you want to deal with robots and systems that aren't well coordinated, Carvana is a great choice. I only stuck with them through this nightmare because I really wanted the particular vehicle that was only available on Carvana at the time and was actually a good deal. Otherwise, I would have ran away as fast as I could. I can only say that my Carvana experience has truly been terrible. Buying from a dealership is a walk in the park compared to buying from Carvana.

    EXTREMELY upset to find a sizeable dent in the hood (body work required) when my car was delivered. I had the delivery driver fully document the incident with pictures and written summary. The dent was NOT DISCLOSED on the Carvana site BUT 3 minor scratches/scuffs were documents that you could barely see. Also, the technician check-sheet utilized to buff, touch-up and fix minor discrepancies was in the glove box. Everything was documented and circled on the sheet, but NO DENT. The dent more than likely occurred during delivery. I was bounced back and forth between Carvana and SilverRock insurance about 4 times, each claiming it was the other parties responsibility.

    STILL NO SOLUTION and it looks like Silver Rock Ins. will not cover it, calling in "normal?" A simple $400.00 dent (bodywork required) could/would not be mitigated, BUT, BUT, BUT...they were willing to take the car back under the 7-day return policy that would have cost THOUSANDS!?!?

Was told there was a problem transporting the vehicle because of the emergency brake, yet, I paid for it to be transported from Arizona, I believe. It didn't seem to have an emergency brake problem then. Of course now I am the one having to determine if there is indeed a brake problem. They tell me there is a 100-day warranty and even gave me a name of a local shop to look at it which will cost me $100.

    So this is a general rundown of my overall experience with Carvana and SilverRock. To save time I won’t even talk about the first car I got from them because I returned it within six days. (It had undisclosed damages). This review is geared towards the vehicle that I have now which I have had for a total of nine days. When I went to go pick up the Jaguar truck, I noticed three chips in the windshield. I told Carvana right then and there and they told me to call the warranty company SilverRock. SilverRock said they will not cover chips in windshields. I got this vehicle on a Wednesday, by Saturday night the engine light came on, the warranty company, SilverRock, obliged it to me, taking the vehicle to a Jaguar dealership to get inspected, they found a bevy of problems that the Warranty refuses to take care of so let’s do a quick rundown..

    1 the O2 sensor went bad so it had to be replaced, and the air filters were terrible so those had to get replaced, the warranty company did cover those repairs, however, I had to rent a vehicle while they were working on my car and for the two days that was $376 out of pocket. While they were doing the inspection, they noticed that my brakes were dangerously bad, they took pictures of the brakes, sent that information into the warranty company, letting them know that it is dangerous for me to be on the road with those brakes, and the warranty company refused to pay for those repairs which come out to a total of $4800 that I have to pay out-of-pocket.

    The car was advertise for $24,000, however after financing I’m paying over $56,000! Yes that’s right $56,000. Look at the pictures I attached. It’s sad that Carvana does not disclose damages during the sales process, and was even worse is after you made a sale with them they completely delete all of that information from your account so you cannot even go back and compare. However, I noticed that happening when I had the first vehicle so this time around I made sure to take a Screenshots. There was no disclosure of the chips in the windshield, body damage, or brakes being so far damaged. So for something that I thought was $24,000, I’m looking at about $60,000++. It’s very unfortunate.

    What’s even more upsetting is that they chose to partner up with a warranty company that has absolutely no care. If the consumer is driving a faulty vehicle, they could ultimately kill them on the road. I traded in my SUV for this new SUV and they only offered me $309 for an SUV that has zero damage. Customer service with Carvana was great as far as the upbeat attitude of the employees, however, customer service with their warranty partner, SilverRock is a completely different story. They are rude, negligent, and overall don’t care to hold themselves or Carvana responsible for omitting details Prior to purchase.

    I will not purchase another vehicle from Carvana and would not recommend Carvana to anyone. When we first approached the vehicle we noticed it was missing the side fender and there was a hole in the front of the car as a result. The field advocate didn't seem very concerned and filed a claim for the missing piece. Then after a short test drive we specifically asked our field advocate if we needed to note every issue with the vehicle. He told us no and that we should do all that from our Carvana dashboard when we got home.

    When we got the vehicle home we inspected it and noticed hundreds of fine surface pits on the windshield consistent with sandstorm damage. (We thought it was just grime when we picked it up, but when we tried to clean them, they would not come off.) The hood of the vehicle also had pits and had obviously been repainted and then overbuffed. (Likely from the same sandstorm.) We immediately started a chat with Carvana who told us to file a claim but that the glass likely wouldn't be covered. We filed the claim and sure enough Carvana covered the hood but not the windshield. The people in the chat basically said glass isn't covered and to file it on insurance.

    There were other issues with the vehicle as well that we didn't even bother claiming such as scratches on the windows and undisclosed small dings and scratches on the rest of the vehicle. The tinting on the front windows is also not legal for my state. Basically the outside of the vehicle was not as represented and was a major disappointment. If we had gone to a regular dealer we would have passed on the vehicle. We decided to keep the vehicle as it seems to run fine and we didn't want to go through the hassle of a return, but we feel as though Carvana pulled a "gotcha" on us. If you purchase from Carvana, inspect every inch of the vehicle at pickup including the windshield.

    I was somewhat skeptical about purchasing a vehicle through the internet. However, I found the process pretty simple and straightforward. I found the perfect car for my granddaughter for her 16th birthday. I was somewhat disappointed that delivery was not available as I had to drive 400 miles round trip to pick it up (also had to find someone to ride along) but the car is home!

    I received a call from Carvana as soon as I purchased the car. During our discussion, I explained that the car was a 16th birthday gift. The young man asked what my granddaughters hobbies were and stated that he was going to put a care package together and have it in the car when I picked it up. Well, needless to say, I was disappointed that the "care package" was not in the car when I picked it up. Other than those two issues I would recommend Carvana as an in person alternative to purchasing a vehicle.

    This is the 2nd time I purchased a car from Carvana. And it was awesome and great. It is always easy and fast and efficient. I hate to go to a dealership to purchase a car. I love Carvana is available for use. This way of buying a car is heaven sent. It is easy and if you have any questions someone is always there for assistance. Thank you so much my car is good. Both cars were efficient and last a long time. I refer everyone to Carvana you can set your own payment and if you want to pay down or not, this is the life.

    We bought our daughter a car from Carvana and it was delivered on August 3, 2023. To make a long story short we noticed a lot of noise in with the brakes, so we took it in and the mechanic told us the brakes, rotors, calipers and tires were all in need of replacement. Silver Fox, the 3rd party responsible for repairs, approved the brakes, rotors and calipers to be replaced but they did not approve new tires because the tread was deep enough. BUT the problem was the tires were dry-rotted between the treads. Day 9, 2 days after the 7-day return policy, the back tire blew out and all 4 tires had to be replaced and Carvana would not do anything to help because of the 7-day return policy had passed. I know they have lost me as a customer due to their shady business. I hope others have better experiences than we did.

    This was the easiest process I have ever experienced in selling one of my used vehicles. In fact, I sold both my cars to Carvana. They provided me with a fair offer. I chose to take my vehicles to one of their locations. They inspected and drove each car. They had instructed me as to what documents I needed to have with me. They had the paperwork already for me to sign. They deposited the funds directly into my bank account and I had the funds in my account within less than 2 business days. They advised that we needed to inform the DMV about the sale to release my liability for the cars and provided the website and odometer reading in order to take care of online. The customer service was excellent!

    My search for a car brought me to Carvana and at first I was very pleased with the ease at which I was able to browse tons of cars without annoying pushy sales people. The car buying process on Carvana is extremely stress free and easy. However once you get your car I strongly advise that you proceed with caution. After driving the vehicle for approximately 50 miles I noticed some serious issues with the vehicle. While driving on the highway I noticed the vehicle would shake and pull strongly to the right. I immediately brought it to my mechanic, who I have known for years and trust. The diagnosis was very disappointing. The vehicle came New York State inspected. So I wrongly assumed everything would be OK. Apparently Carvana inspected the vehicle at one of their centers. And Apparently the vehicle was pushed through inspection.

    My mechanic discovered the passenger side calibers on the front and rear locked up. Meaning the vehicle would only brake on the driver side. Extremely dangerous! The vehicle should not have passed inspection with the calibers like this. My mechanic also discovered all four rotors badly worn down and rusted. Again the vehicle should not have passed inspection with the rotors in that condition. Also he discovered leaking shock fluid. My mechanic also recommended tire balance, new brake pads and brake fluid flush. My mechanic advised in total I was looking at $2,500.worth of repairs.

    I immediately contacted SilverRock, the insurance company Carvana works with, to initiate a claim. They informed me I could leave the vehicle at my mechanic's shop and pay a 200 dollar deductible or take to a shop in their network with no deductible. Why would I take it to a shop Carvana/SilverRock recommends when they clearly forced it through inspection the first time? I chose to pay the deductible and have it done by someone I know and trust. So right away I am out 200 dollars. Then SilverRock informs me that they will only cover the calibers, rotors, and brake flush. Saying they only cover "serious " issues and will not cover normal wear an tear. So, I will have to pay 1,200 dollars out of pocket to have the vehicle done right.

    My mechanic recommends calibers on the driver side as well but SilverRock says it's not necessary and the leaking shock fluid is normal wear and tear. So in total I'm out 1,400 dollars. I'm extremely disappointed. Assuming the person(s) who did the inspection are not blind or are completely ignorant about inspecting vehicles the vehicle was pushed through inspection most likely in an attempt to keep costs low and maximize profit for Carvana. But at what expense? The expense of me and my safety and the safety of anyone riding in that vehicle with me. I sincerely feel by pushing the vehicle through inspection Carvana committed fraud. And therefore the policy of only fixing certain issues should be null and void.

    Carvana/SilverRock should pay for everything after jeopardizing my safety in an unsafe vehicle that was not ready for street/highway travel. A vehicle that, if it was inspected correctly and honestly, would not have passed NYS vehicle inspection. If you do buy from Carvana I highly recommend you take it to a mechanic you know and trust to look it over, even if it comes inspected. I give Carvana 2 stars for the car buying process. It is extremely hassle free and easy. But I am disappointed with the apparent lack of care and detail for the vehicle itself before it is delivered to the customer. I am holding my breath and praying that after these repairs the vehicle will be fine and I'm not blindsided by another issue Carvana overlooked or worse ignored and just slapped a sticker over it and said "don't worry, everything is fine".

    This is actually our second experience with Carvana, my husband bought a Jeep Renegade from them in 2020, and our experience then was perfect. When it came time to get a new car for me, I did not want to deal with dealerships after visiting a few and getting the runaround. They made the entire process very easy, there was a little bit of a snafu with my paperwork, but I called them and they fixed all of it while I was on the phone with them. Pick up day went as smooth as possible. The car vending machine was fun, and we were in and out in less than 25 minutes. I was a little worried about the registration process after reading several reviews, but they had the plates on my vehicle in the registration in the glove box before we even left that day. My car looks and drives like it's brand new and I could not be happier!

It was also about $1000 more than Carmax was offering me. The experience was great. It was a fast exchange once I reached the Carvana location with my car. People were very helpful and personable.

    The shopping experience overall was standard. Lots of paperwork uploading, photos, DL, Utility bills. The norm when buying a car. Dealing with customer service was a hassle, wait time is always 10 min or more. After deal is done, customer service numbers they give you don’t work anymore. Chat is all you got. Delivery was fine, I test drove, couple of things I noticed. Tires were worn down, brake not so great and alignment was totally off. During the 7 days of return policy, the Engine service light came on, THANK GOD. To get the 100 warranty, again online to find a Silver Rock certified repair shop. I took it to a lo Silver Rock (SR) certified repair shop.

    Big O was great. I had them do diagnostics on the whole car (approve by SR). Tires needed replaced, worn out Brakes, Tied rod squished like a pancake. Carvana had fixed one side but didn’t do the other. Alignment totally off. Oil change. They check all hose, belts, etc. After all said and done. SR paid for most repairs, except for brake pads.

    OK first. I like the vehicle I bought. It is just what I was looking for and the price was about what I would have paid a local dealer if they had what I was after. They did get me for an exorbitant shipping fee though $1700.00. The problem is they delivered the truck and when I got in I discovered the radio doesn’t work. I also noticed a half consumed bottle of water in the armrest cup holder indicating that someone was likely working on it before they shipped it. Now for me to get this fixed, I must make an appointment to take the truck to one of the authorized service facilities that will even look at a radio problem, let them claim they can’t fix it, then wait for them to contact the warranty company and then I wait for the warranty company to approve of me making another appointment at a dealer.

    Avoiding this running around is why I used Carvana in the first place. I can of course understand if something breaks or fails after I start using the car but here we are making multiple repair appointments and waiting for a vehicle I just bought and haven’t even used yet. I would not recommend buying from Carvana based on my experience.

    The purchasing process and inventory choice with Carvana is very appealing. They will gladly take your money. However, if you need assistance with a change or something is wrong with the vehicle, expect to be at their mercy! A representative will call you back quickly if you need help, but in my experience nothing got resolved without me calling back multiple times, and reexplaining the issue to a completely different Carvana representative only to be told that they will look into it and call you back. They will not call you back. They will also not allow you to speak with the same person you spoke with before. They will not allow you to speak with a manager. Their scripted speech just leaves you in circles, hoping that someone will actually do their job and help out. There is no accountability from their customer service representatives. I've been waiting on a refund for almost 2 weeks!

    Additionally, don't trust the vehicle pictures. They have in small print that all cosmetics accessories may not be included, but they will still uses them in the photos to entice you. You will also have no idea what cosmetic accessories will not be included until the vehicle shows up. Admittingly, I was so excited when the vehicle showed up that I didn't even notice that the cosmetic accessories were missing until THE CARVANA TOWTRUCK DRIVER told me it was missing them and to reach out to Carvana to get them. I did call and they told me that they were not responsible for accessories that don't show up. They said they would reach out to the Carvana truck driver and get his statement about the missing part and investigate into their pictures of the vehicle. They also said they would call me back in a couple of days with a report. Guess what? They didn't call back. I called again, spoke with someone else, who told me it wasn't their fault.

    Long story short, go to a dealership. Look at the vehicle, drive it, work with a human in person. It might be more intimidating than buying a car online, but at least at a dealership there is some employee accountability. At a dealership the vehicle you buy will have all the accessories you see. A manager will be available at a dealership and if there are any issues with the vehicle you have a physical location and human to help resolve it. At Carvana you are just a piece in their algorithm and as long as you have no issues with the purchase I assume it is very simple, but you will be highly disappointed if you need to rely on Carvana for help with an issue during the process or after the sale.

In addition, I was able to be in and out in about 15 minutes for the in person section. Preparing to sell my car through Carvana took about 30 minutes total and it was all online. I was a little nervous because I walked out the door with a large check and I wasn't sure it could really be that easy. It was!!

    Bad brakes. Bad alternator. Bad radio. Bad tires. Bad return policy. Bad warranty. Bad customer service. Bad brake switch. Engine light on. Remote batteries are dead. Bad vehicle performance. No power. Poor handling. I'm going to call this post, "Cursed". A couple of years ago, my brother bought a car from Carvana, and he had a great experience. So, I figured I'd give them a shot. I'm a big fan of Chrysler Town & Country Minivans, and I have always seen a nice selection of them on Carvana. I prefer the Town & Country because I drive (part time) for Rideshare (Lyft & Uber). It is a comfortable ride, and it holds a lot of stuff. Very practical. So, late March of this year, I finally decided to pull the trigger on one. A nice 2011 Touring L. 90300 miles on the Odo. Very nice. No visible flaws at all (on Carvana). I was not happy about the high interest rate on the loan though.

    I took delivery on April 6... Well, you know that "7 day Return" Policy? The day after I took delivery, of my van, I tested Positive for that Nasty Covid-19 thing going around. The symptoms weren't bad, I couldn't go anywhere for a week. Nowhere. I never had a chance to try it out when I got it. Once I recovered, I was commuting with it back and forth to work... about 30-40 minutes each way... No big deal. The first thing I noticed was a significant Lack of Power. This van has absolutely No "Get-up and Go". It is very sluggish, and I did notice a mild wobble in the front end that would come and go. But then, I went to do some Ridesharing with it, and I really started noticing it. The front brakes would shake and moan, and it felt like the wheels were going to fall off of it! I thought it was the wheel bearings.

    Now, of course, we are past the 7 day return, so I looked into the Warranty company, and what to do. Of course, I had to take it to a "Certified", or "Approved" garage within their network. By this time, I had created a whole list of points to check on the van. Carvana says they do a 150 point inspection, but if the things that were wrong with my van were inspected, they must have been inspected by a blind person. So around mid-April, the "Approved" garage, says the van has new shocks and struts, and that I need All New brake pads and rotors, and that should fix my problem. They also said that the tires showed signs of cupping. However, the Warranty company Denied the Rear Brakes and the Tire replacement. I was without the van for 4 days. Income lost. So the van ran better for a while.

    Time came for my first oil change. By this time, we are past the 100 day/ 4100 mile warranty. My usual place was booked out for weeks, so I brought it to a 10-minute oil change place. All went fine. not issues, other than the wait to get in. That night, I did some Ridesharing, and after picking up a passenger, suddenly, on the highway, doing 60-65 Mph, the van just stalls out! I ended up coasting off to the shoulder of the highway in a rainstorm With a passenger in the van. It wouldn't start. It turned over, but was acting like it wasn't getting any fuel. Just. Would. Not. Start. I had to cancel the ride, the passenger had to call a family member to pick them up, and I had to call a tow truck to come get the van. This Time, I had it towed to my regular mechanic.

    My mechanic had it for several day before he could look at it, but nothing was coming up on the computer for errors. He tried again the next day, but all they could come up with was a bad charging code from the Alternator. Again, we were already past the 100 Days and 4100 miles, so there goes a few hundred $$$ for a new Alternator. Money Spent Out of Pocket and Income Lost. About 2 weeks later, on my way in to work again, on the highway, this time in rush hour traffic, the van Stalls Out Again! Same symptoms. Stalled out, wouldn't start. Again, it acted as though it wasn't getting gas. However, this time, the tow technician was able to get the van started. tow, and my boss had to pick me up at the mall to get me to work. This time, my mechanic could not find anything wrong with the van. Spent 4 days without it. Income lost again!

    Fast forward to late July... The van has been gradually losing power and get up and go. It starts off slowly, and Hates going up hills! Suddenly, the wobble is back in the front end. The moaning of the wheels returns. In early August, it got to the point where if I simply took my foot off the gas, the van would slow down and almost come to a stop with even touching the brakes. I called my regular shop to look at it but they were booked. called another local garage, they were booked as well. Called a third local garage, and They were at least able to take it in to look at it within the week. I couldn't drive it confidently, so there was more income lost from Ridesharing.

    Once they were able to get it in and look it over, it was discovered that the calipers had ceased up and were cooking the brakes. The reason the calipers ceased, was because the brake fluid was contaminated, and cause the rubber in the calipers to corrode and fail. This time, the van was out of commission for over 2 weeks. We had to replace the Master Cylinder, the Brake Booster, the Calipers, as well as the pads and rotors that I had just put on in April! More $$$ out of pocket and lost income. The only little bit of good news was that the pads and rotors were covered under warranty by the first garage... But still, Income was lost because I couldn't drive.

    So, this brings us to this past Thursday and Friday... I pick the van up from Garage #3. I had someplace to go that evening, and had no other way to get there. As I'm driving, (Not even a mile away from the garage), the "Traction Control" light comes on on the dashboard. This usually only comes on when you hit the Traction Control button, which, sometimes get accidentally pushed. But it would not shut off. The next morning, I brought it back to Garage #1. They had the van overnight and I got it back Saturday morning. No money out of pocket this time, because they honored their own warranty on the parts and labor. But now, the Low Tire Pressure light is on! No big deal, but still... Always something!

    Then, while I'm driving around to see how the brakes feel, the engine light comes on, then the Traction Control Light! I found out later what happens when the Traction Control Light comes on. - When you stop the car and put it in Park, you can't shift it back into gear. Had to turn the engine off and back on again. Now that is what has to be done every time the traction control light comes on. And let me tell you, when you do Ridesharing, you have to put the van in Park in order to open the sliding doors. That's a lot of stopping and starting the engine! Oh! And the latest happened today... The batteries in my remotes are low, according to the message on my dashboard. One thing after another in rapid succession. I think this van is Cursed!

    When it was time to sell my car, I didn't want to think about it. How many quotes did I need to get? How much running around to dealers and getting offers? Should I try to do it on my own? Carvana sent me a great quote in a process that took all of 5 minutes to inform them of the status of my car and my legal ownership. I decided to check with the dealership that'd been trying to buy my car for the last two years, and they quoted me $3K less than Carvana AND wanted me to come in for them to inspect. No thanks.

    I completed the sale to Carvana with a few clicks and a quick drive down to drop it off (they could have picked it up). I could not believe how simple the whole process was. So many things we must do in the 'life admin' category take so much effort and time; I am highly impressed with how easy Caravana made this experience. If only more companies were trying to make life tasks easier like Carvana! I will be advocating to every person I know!

    I purchased vehicle from them and at pickup it was filthy plus the entire car shook so bad. Returned vehicle, was told i drove 724 miles in 8 days which is a lie. But they charged me for it anyways. Car sat in front of my home for 4 straight days. Picked up 2nd choice car - dirty. Chocolate melted in cup holders almost empty in gas dog hair everywhere… Car is beautiful now and drives great. My suggestion to the Fort Worth office. Get a new detail team. They are costing you business.

    Carvana selling car process with Carvana was easy. They have online process where one can upload information when one selling car to Carvana. Just follow the steps, provide detail information they request as this will make more accurate on the price of your vehicle. Compared to local dealers, Carvana is way much better as to avoid long waiting line, buy your car with fair price, not like other dealers.

    Carvana gave me the best price for my vehicle compared to several local dealers. I was somewhat skeptical but I must say the process went very smooth without any issues. They even let me extend their offer for an additional 7 days. Their personnel were informative and professional. Their online “chat” was moderately helpful but you really need to talk with a representative for specific concerns. The only issue I ran into was printing a copy of the selling documents after electronic signature. That problem was resolved with a call to one of their reps. I would recommend selling your vehicle to Carvana to anyone. I have two relatives that also sold their vehicles to Carvana with great experiences.

    Updated on 08/21/2023: I posted a review on 8/9/2023 that Carvana won't repair undisclosed damage to the front bumper. They respond very quickly to the review and make it sound as if they are willing to help but they are not. Although the bumper is glued on, it is considered "cosmetic". It's also been more than 10 days since I responded to them and I have heard no word back from them.

    I called them today and they told me they will not cover it and Carfax says there are no incidents. I understand Carfax may say there are no incidents but that simply means none were reported to insurance. If there were no incidents, why is the bumper glued on? Why does it have heavy bondo? Why didn't the 150-point inspection mention it. I was lied to by Carvana and now they say it isn't their problem because it is cosmetic. Is a glued on bumper really considered cosmetic? Carvana is a perfect example of why used car dealers have a bad reputation. I do regret being short with the representative toward the end of the call.

    Original Review: When I purchased my car, I was very happy. Within a week, the rear bumper came loose. I contacted Carvana and they said they would repair it. When I took the car to the body shop, I asked them to look over the car. The car has been hit multiple times. Once where the bumper is coming loose and the front bumper has heavy bondo, is glued on, and is already cracking. Apparently during their 150 point inspection, no one noticed that the car had been hit multiple times. Carvana will replace the rear bumper but refused to replace the front bumper. The left rear tire is also slanted causing the car to drift right. I have not decided what I will do about that yet. What I do know is that I thought I was getting a car that had been in no accidents but instead I received a car that needs numerous repairs. I feel like I was robbed. If you do opt to buy from Carvana, make sure you ask a body shop to look it over within the first 7 days so that you know the truth.

    This is my second time purchasing a vehicle from Carvana, first in 2019 and then again this year. The experience couldn't be more opposite. The first time was exceptional; hassle-free and a smooth process. The second experience has been a complete debacle. Here are the highlights:

    - the vehicle (2021 BMW) was delivered with the engine light on. The employee who delivered the vehicle showed me the exterior of the car, but nothing internally. After checking the manual it was a 'do not drive' scenario and the car delivered was undrivable.
    - As part of my purchase, I paid for service coverage which Carvana sources out to SilverRock. When I tried to get my car fixed, I learned that my car was under manufacturer warranty and SilverRock coverage was not needed. Carvana advised me that I could cancel the service plan (costing $1,800) directly with SilverRock.

    - SilverRock had me complete a cancellation form and provided the mileage amount to put on the form (which was rounded down to 11,700 miles). They advised it would take 4-6 weeks to receive a check.

    - Nearly 2 1/2 months later no check and so I contacted SilverRock and they said the mileage did not match the Purchase Agreement. Keep in mind, it was their rep who provided me with the amount to put on the form. I was required to resubmit the form with 11,726 miles (just the additional 26 miles) but now was told they would only go 30 days prior to the date of cancellation. Wait! You gave me the wrong amount, I hear nothing from SilverRock other than the check will arrive in 4-6 weeks, and now told that they can only reimburse 30 days in arrears of the cancellation date! What a scam. (Sidebar: after following up with Carvana on the matter, SilverRock outright lied and said they send me two follow-up emails advising the mileage was off - a complete lie! There was no follow-up emails from SilvrRock). Carvana washed their hands of the matter.

    - The registration process was a complete screw-up. The temporary plate arrived, but the permanent plate was nowhere to be found. After several calls to Carvana as the temporary license was expiring, they advised me that we had to wait until the plate expired before they could contact the department that deals with registration. Again, my car would become undrivable! The final customer service rep I spoke to gave me the truth and let me know the plate was issued but sent to the wrong address and that it would be best for me to go directly to the DMV. I called the DMV and thankfully we were able to recover the plate.

    I couldn't think of a worse experience. All the reasons I returned to Carvana are now absolutely not true today. It was a huge hassle from start to finish and I feel as if I've been hustled through a faceless nameless 'who-cares' process. Their only objective is to put you on a giant assembly line and shuffle you forward. Heaven forbid anything goes wrong, and the whole thing breaks down. In good faith, I will never purchase from them again and cannot recommend them.

    Currently waiting for them to deliver the car I purchased from them. I was informed by text the day before each rescheduled delivery that it would take a week longer. I had to reschedule my week accordingly each time. They had no issue processing my payment (including a 600.00 delivery charge to bring the vehicle from Kentucky to Indiana) in a timely fashion, within a few days of my purchase. Yet, I am still without a vehicle.

    In addition, I was told that I needed to redo the entire purchase due to a discrepancy in the odometer mileage of my trade in only to be told a few HOURS later after dealing with several different representatives that there is a 1000 mile variance and that I did not need to do anything at all. This was incredibly stressful. So, I am not driving the car I'm trading in to avoid hassle and I have no idea when the car I paid for will be coming because I do not trust their scheduled delivery times. I can't wait to see what other issues crop up during the rest of this nightmare. Wish I would have gone to a dealership instead!

    I've bought two cars from Carvana. I see a lot of negative reviews but I've never had a bad experience with them. I see a lot of complaints about vehicle registration taking too long. I registered both my vehicles myself the day after I received them and Carvana refunded the fee. No problems at all. I don't think their cars are overpriced. Just don't buy a brand that's known to have issues. Do your research. I only buy low mileage Toyotas. They last far longer than most brands. Just sold an 04 Tacoma with 200k miles and it still ran and looked great. I never finance or insure through them though. That's where most people get screwed.

    Fast easy efficient car buying experience. Great products for sale, and excellent prices. I searched their inventory for a few weeks until I found an incredible deal. The purchasing process was linear and streamlined, I completed the application on my phone. My preapproval rates were identical to my final offer, and the contract I signed. Even without a trade in, there were still plenty of options for me to choose from.

    I picked the car up with my kids at the car vending machine. It was so fun putting the coin in and seeing the car come down with flashing lights, the platform the car came down on did a little 360 spin to show it off when it landed lol. Very cute, nice touch. Even though I love my car, the 7 day return/exchange policy is also a great feature, and the extended warranty is a nice treat.

    Original Review: I was promised to be paid back for a new battery. All I had to do was show proof of need and the receipt. They did not pay me after everything was sent via email and snail mail with proof of delivery, which they did get. They then ignored all my correspondence. Here I am a year to date, and they do not return emails. Out of curiosity, I checked the trade in value of my vehicle and received a quote. Three days later they emailed again with a new quote $1000 less. I have already put in $500 worth of repairs that were not disclosed at purchase. I even had to pay to replace the key fobs. SilverRock and Carvana were incredibly rude, condescending, snotty, and acted like petulant children after the purchase was completed.

    Original Review: Aug. 4, 2023

    Updated 08/29/2023: Purchased a vehicle from Carvana. Nothing but issues from the beginning 'til now. Went through 4 cars. Landed on 1. Had issues with getting repairs done. Finally after a lot of back and forth now the registration issue Carvana asked for power of attorney which was notarized and given a few doc one of which I had to wait 2 hours to have completed at the police department. Submitted all documents. Back and forth with carvana only to be told I have to register the car myself, pay for it out of my pocket and they will reimburse the money. I'm now having to come up with to their finance department now all because of their inability to communicate with customer correctly. I'm having to take time out of work and figure out how to pay to register this vehicle. Never again will I use carvana.

    Original Review: Began my purchase from Carvana by selecting a car and driving to a satellite office to pick up the car. Upon my arrival and test drive realized the car was filthy and driving it was rough. The car was shaking and pulling to one side I promptly took the car back to the lot and asked the associate did they drive this car where and told no they didn't. I rejected the car. Was told pick another car and they would deliver it to my home. Day of delivery was charged twice. One the car was deliver on the first day car started to shake and have engine knocking. Was told they would repair it which I agree. Then noticed the carpet on floor under the seat had a section cut out and removed and I noticed the front bumper looked like it had been replaced. That was it. I returned the car too many red flags.

    I was then told to find another car to which my interest rate had now increased due to various pulls by Carvana. Chose another car. Had it delivered and looked nothing like the photo of the car. Dents. Scratches. Dings. A lot of aftermarket parts. I then check the pic on the site and noticed a lot of air brushing of the photos. Sent that car back but needed a car so I had to continue to do business with them but had little faith or trust in the cars they sell. Long story short I hope this isn't the new way to buy cars.

    Someone recommended this to me, and I didn't try them for a few weeks after trying the old school FSBO approach, since our car shows well. Figured we'd never get enough from a mass car buyer despite the maker's styling package be very rare. I eventually logged in and got a price. For one, it was very easy (far easier than other sites I've tried). For two, they offered 20% more than I would have accepted from a private buyer.

    Then I went to make the transaction, and it was far easier and simpler than I expected. There were minor scratches from urban parking, so I expected hard-sell discounting on the spot. Got none of that. They paid what they said. I think I was in-and-out of there in 40 minutes, which is unheard of for any car-related transaction. This is for the downtown San Diego, CA location, so YMMV. If we have to sell a car again (or maybe even buy one), we'll go here first.

    Purchased a used BMW in June 2023 with 45k miles and was picked up at a Carvana site in Phoenix, AZ. The vehicle was driven up to me with very little gas by what appeared to be a drug addict. Upon initial inspection the car had several undeclared scratches and chips, was disgustingly dirty and seemed to be covered in bird poop in every single nook and cranny. Engine compartment was jam packed with leaves and sticks causing the engine to overheat any time the car was running. Brakes vibrate horribly since the first time I drove the car (Rotors and pads are shot) costing $2000. All issues reported to Carvana within the first few days of possession, long before 7 day window expired.

    During the 7-day return window, Carvana offered to cover these things, but in the end I received inadequate funds ($100) for a detail that cost twice as much and absolutely nothing else. If you notice any issue within the 7-day return window, simply return it, because their Customer Service assurances should NOT be trusted. Also, the Silver Rock warranty coverage Carvana offers is typical of used car warranties, they will tell you "whatever costs you incur in the 100 day warranty window are yours and yours alone". Carvana's '150-point inspection' is a joke and I plan on filing a report with the BBB as well. Please take all of this into consideration if you are thinking about a Carvana purchase. Go somewhere else there is a reason they are going out of business! Carvana lost a customer and gained an enemy.

    The delivery of the car went well and the driver was very friendly. I noted all of the scratches and dings to her and that they were not disclosed in the listing. She told me to take pictures and send to SilverRock since the car is under warranty. SilverRock told me I had to submit them through the Carvana site. Carvana’s site says that they annotate all cosmetic damage to the best of their ability. They do not. They list 2-3 and call it good. There were over 20 dings and scratches not listed. I submitted the dings and scratches on the Carvana site and was told SilverRock would then be in touch with me within 24-48 hours. I never received a response from them. I bought this car for an employee and wanted to keep it as long as the imperfections would be fixed. She needed the leave for a trip before SilverRock got back to me.

    Since my claim met all of the available standards presented to me on the site and in my contract I decided to keep the car past the 7 days as I had still not heard from SilverRock. The day after the 7 days was up SilverRock denied my claim. They stated the scratches were within Carvana’s standard. I have had to spend hours figuring out what the standards are because the standards I had read before purchasing the car are clearly not what they are using to deny my claim. I was finally given a more detailed description of Carvana’s standards. The imperfections not annotated on the listing are clearly outside of the standards yet as of today SilverRock is still denying my claim.

    If you buy a car and it’s not exactly what you expected, do not rely on the “warranty” or what their website says. They use a different standard than what their site states. So now I’m past the 7 days with a car I will have to pay to get detailed and have touch up done because SilverRock and Carvana did not abide by what they stated and I’m just fed up. Buyer beware!

    Bought a BMW from Carvana last week. Website asked for 3 bank statements, then 6 banks statements plus 2 tax returns. Uploaded all and it went through and they gave me an offer including terms and down payment and interest and monthly payment. So we scheduled the pickup date (today). Then they asked for down payment by ACH, bank wire or cashier's check. Paid instantly by wire according to their detailed instructions.

    On scheduled pickup date they told me car was bought by someone else. If that's not bad enough, the down payment "can't be refunded at the current time." 3 days of wasted time and here I am without a car plus thousands of dollars down payment lost into the Carvana ether. Asked to speak to a supervisor and they said "You can't. You'll have to schedule that" which takes another 48 hours. I'm sure I'll get my down payment refund but it's not happening anytime soon. When I asked how they sold my car to someone else, they said my transaction "timed out" because they needed an additional tax return. But they never communicated that to me. I found out the hard way: car gone and money gone.

    Very disorganized company. They do not look after their customers. I recently had an awful experience with them. I called them multiple times to follow up with the registration process, but I discovered they did nothing on the last day. Now I have a car that I cannot use until 3 business days. They could have ordered another temporary license but decided not to do. Stay away from this dealer.

    I need the car to work, and cannot use it. Their customer service is terrible. Kim was extremely rude, telling me that I could not use the car and had to wait because they were sloppy and did not do their job. Instead of offering other solutions, she tells me I must wait, and she cannot do anything. Also, she mentioned that I should not call them because they can do nothing.

    Don't believe for a second they inspect the cars they sell. 150 point inspection? I've heard they sometimes just wax the cars and send them out. I've had the car for a week and already had to replace fuses, sensors, and the list keeps coming. I don't even know all of the things wrong with it yet. It's different pressure than the pressure you get at a sales office, but it's still a lot of pressure and a lot of you running around doing work yourself on paperwork. Not to mention, don't get the value of your car for a trade in until you are ready to buy.

    I had a car on hold that I wanted to purchase that they did nothing with for a month, and every time I renewed their offer I lost value on my trade. I lost almost a thousand dollars in value before the trade in because they couldn't do their jobs at the facility the car was located at. And I don't mean the people that are supposed to be cleaning or fixing or anything, like everything else I solely blame the CEO and all management.

    The car buying process was not flawed. Easy to view and compare vehicles, and I understand the Cars are overpriced and probably because I am paying for convenience. I have the choice to shop anywhere, so that issue does not bother me. The issues started after the drop of the car. Immediately the front rotors were bad, there was a lot of vibration in the steering wheel. I called them up, and they told me to bring it to a preferred mechanic, and they covered the expense. The following day the car began bucking and eventually became stuck in 3rd gear. I again brought it to the preferred mechanic, who informed me the transmission was bad and needs to be replaced. They commented that it was ridiculous that they sold a car like that, especially because it was throwing codes.

    I contacted Carvana, and they told me they would fix it. However, no one buys a car to replace the transmission. I started the return process. Essentially they tell you that It's my responsibility to find a new car, reapply for financing (Which is ridiculous because my interest rate went up because of the second hit), and finish the sale, and then they would move the down payment.

    I have never been in a process where the dealer sold me a lemon but made it my problem. It hurt my credit, I am now paying more for the car. On top of that, while speaking to their advocates, I was disconnected multiple times and I would receive answers that were completely not related to me. Example: I was speaking about the issues with my car and received an answer to bring my car to safelight auto glass. They have nothing to do with transmissions. Overall the experience was awful. I felt I was being punished for the junk car they sold me. At no time did anyone make an effort to make it right by me.

    When I provided the minor damage description of the vehicle that I was trading in, I was incredibly thorough with my descriptions as I didn't want there to be any confusion with the condition of my trade-in. I was frustrated to discover that there was a fair amount of cosmetic damage to the interior of the cargo dept. in the car I was trading mine in for. I had hoped they would have disclosed any existing damage in the vehicle description or at least provided photos of the damaged areas. Most of the cars listed on Carvana had any minor damage noted (like rock chips, noticeable repairs, etc.) so when the vehicle I was interested in did not have any damage noted, I thought I was getting a pristine vehicle. Carvana needs to be consistent and upfront in noting any and all damage to their vehicles, so the consumer knows what to expect upfront. Apart from that, Carvana was great to work with and I appreciated the fast and straightforward process.

    I'll start off by by saying I would more than likely do business with them again because their auto prices and auto trade in value are unmatched! That being said if I were a little wealthier next go 'round I'd probably go elsewhere. I didn't get a test drive and the dealership would have probably explained some of the features which was needed as this is a fully equipped vehicle with all the bells and whistles. The delivery guy explained zero, just dropped off and rushed off.

    More importantly the car was Filthy!!!! The previous owner apparently went off roading so there was red dirt dust in all door jams and on the black plastic when you step in. Rear view mirror had white spots, all windows were dirty, there was literally dirt on top of the plastic wheel wells in the back and the tires had not one drip of Armor All. I spent a few hours two days straight in the July heat to get it up to par. This is unacceptable considering I paid $1300 for shipping and another $100 for delivery. Carvana do better!

    I was curious about how much my used car was worth when I went to Carvana initially. Frankly, I was deeply suspicious when I learned what Carvana offered so I immediately became skeptical. Uploading the documents took an extra week 'cause I was waiting to receive the out-of-state title (I'd just paid the car off), but when I called Carvana, someone advised that the offer could be extended a week which worked perfectly. It took longer than 48 hours to contact me to schedule the pick-up, but when I called (spoke with Inaki who went above and beyond) he expedited it and I got a pick-up the next day. Great communication from pick-up person, arrived on time, and seamless transition. Carvana picked up my car on a Saturday and by Monday morning the $ was reflected in my bank account. I would recommend them highly and think (after dealing with an in-person dealership to buy my next car) that I should've just used Carvana to buy as well.

    Tried selling a car to Carvana. The pickup driver showed up one hour early - Carvana emailed and texted an exact pickup time the morning of the scheduled pickup. Apparently, the driver sat on the street for 10 minutes (never rang the doorbell or knocked on the door) then left without ever making contact with me. When I called customer service 2 hours later to figure out where the driver was, the rep said the driver was there and left already and didn’t ring the bell because they were likely not familiar with doorbells and didn’t know how to use one. Umm, okay. It seemed like a fast, easy way to sell one of my vehicles, but apparently not.

    I purchased a 2019 Audi Q5 with just under 26,000 miles. The buying experience took longer than I thought it would coupled with the fact that there was a delay of a week on the original delivery date. Once the vehicle arrived and I took delivery of it, I took it to my local Audi dealership to have the service department review it as a used car. They found that during the alleged reconditioning process the battery would not hold a load, the valve pump was leaking oil and the driver-side mirror was inoperable.

    It took nearly a week to get one of the parts into the dealership to fix the vehicle and Silver Rocket did cover the expense in full. However, according to the service tech, Silverrock adjuster was not happy that my car was delivered in the condition that I received it in. Plus I noticed when I took delivery of the Audi, it clearly had never been detailed. The inside of the vehicle is dirty. It looks kind of just dingy, and they covered up some sort of a smell with a horrid fragrance.

    Now I get to spend $300 to get the interior of the vehicle fully detailed out so it’s actually drivable. The other upcoming issue is going to be the registration nightmare the Carvana is famous for messing up. They say it can take them 90 days to get the vehicle license but in Washington state, they only have 45 days and they have to ask the department of licensing in Olympia Washington for any extension beyond that. I’m pretty sure I’ll have to file a complaint with the attorney general in Washington state if the licensing and registration of the Audi doesn’t go in a timely fashion.

    I have sold to Carvana without any issue, and might even recommend it. Purchasing from Carvana, however is another story. Despite the supposed 150-point inspection covering engine, the check engine light, change oil, replace brake fluid indicators were all active at delivery. Despite inspection claiming exterior/interior cleaning, there was grass, sand, and dog hair in the vehicle. Despite a guarantee of a half tank of gas, vehicle had one gallon. There were also undeclared scratches to interior and exterior of the hatchback.

    During the 7-day return window, Carvana offered to cover these things, but in the end I only received gas and inadequate funds for a detail. If you notice any issue within the 7-day return window, simply return, because their Customer Service assurances cannot be trusted. Nor their '150-point inspection'.

    I purchased a Nissan 370z from Carvana in February 2023. The experience was good and I loved the vehicle. However in May 2023 (within the 90 day warranty) the convertible top stopped working properly. I went through SilverRock to find a repair facility (which was impossible as most of the repair facilities are tire/oil change shops) so I took it to the local Nissan dealership. To repair the top, it would have cost $34,000!!!! More than what I paid for the car. That was amazing in itself. So after a few weeks, Carvana paid me out for the vehicle. Even though I was disappointed that I had to return the car, I did appreciate Carvana making it right.

    So now it is July 2023. I just purchased another Nissan 370z from Carvana. It was not the easiest to purchase. I would have liked to have done my financing through Carvana, however the rates were over 4% higher than my lender. I took a deep breath and crossed my fingers that everything would work out within the time constraints with Carvana. I waited patiently yesterday for my car to be delivered at 2pm. I did not receive a courtesy text until 3:08pm telling me sorry, the delivery was delayed until 4:40pm.

    The car was delivered and it was not black as described on the website nor the pictures on the website. The delivery man shrugged his shoulders and agreed that the car in fact was not black but burgundy. His suggestion was to keep the car since it is in a 7 day return window and maybe I will like the color. I ordered a black car and was delivered a burgundy car. The sticker in the window even says "Nissan 370z Red". It also said I should be receiving two keys. The delivery man only gave me one. So I called Carvana today to see how they could make this right. I was apologized to and offered $150 for their mistake. $150!!!! It is not like it was missing promised floor mats. I am exhausted. I have had no car for months. I cannot at this point return the vehicle and start all over again. It is too exhausting of a process. Lesson learned from my experience, do not buy a vehicle online. I unfortunately just loved this make and model of car and could not find one local.

    I wish I could give Carvana zero stars. The condition of the vehicle we purchased was severely misrepresented, in the words of our Toyota certified mechanic. Yet Carvana's warranty company SilverRock will cover only 27% of the repair bill, leaving us with over $1800 in repairs and maintenance before we have driven the vehicle anywhere except to the mechanic for inspection. If we return the vehicle to Carvana we forfeit the delivery fee of $1790, so either way we lose.

    I have made multiple calls to Carvana's customer service only to be read a script about how they want to "take care" of me and "advocate" for me. But when I ask exactly HOW they plan to advocate for me, there is no answer. The supervisor with whom I had my most recent conversation (Edith) offered to ask SilverRock (their warranty company) why they wouldn't pay more towards repairs (SilverRock has already answered this question) but refused to ask SilverRock to reconsider. Clearly she does not know the meaning of the word advocate. Also clear is the fact that SilverRock is a warranty/insurance company and their business model revolves around keeping payouts at a minimum.

    DO NOT BUY FROM CARVANA. They care nothing about their customers, and working with them will only lead to disappointment, frustration, and unplanned for repair bills. I am now going to my state's attorney general's office to make a complaint. The more people who know about Carvana's unethical business practices, the fewer people Carvana will be able to take advantage of in the future.
