The process and communication were excellent. Kept me well-informed and met deadlines. Delivery and phone support personnel were excellent. Car condition was disappointing and should have been a deal-breaker. Braking caused serious shaking -- had to replace the brake pads and rotors within 3 days of purchase. Warranty covered what was expected and with no difficulties, but the problem should have been remedied upon inspection before delivery. (Any other buyer would have had the car reloaded on the carrier; I needed a car immediately and took the risk.) Also, car had a faint smell of smoke (cigar?) and the dash and metal trim inside had a greasy film on them. Easily cleaned the interior, but disappointing that such a simple and noticeable item was not addressed before delivery. Overall experience was quite good, except for obvious items that would have made the experience superb had they been addressed properly.

The pros are they have a good selection. I have to say that the amount of work and follow-up this took, I would very unlikely to go through this again. We decided to go with a credit union instead of their financing. Their percentage rate was twice what the credit union offered. This created all kinds of headaches. I had four different versions of what paperwork was needed from Carvana. I like being able to get help from different folks but when the stories are different, you end up chasing your tail.
After a week of back and forth, I finally told Carvana to either work it out with the credit union or cancel the sale. Magically they made it work. Then the car arrives. It had body work done that wasn't reported which removed the front camera. It affects the safety features of the car and is a pretty important piece of equipment. Multiple scratches and dings on the car that were not reported before the sale. Then I spend a week trying to get approval to get that repaired and get told they won't fix it because it is not damaged. I have never worked harder to buy a car in my life. I know people don't like dealers and I don't either but after this, I will be sitting for a couple hours with a dealer over wasting this kind of time. Now I am out $390 for delivery of a car that was falsified in the ad and there was no way I could have avoided it. I could see if I just didn't like it but to make me pay for their deception is really frustrating.
Creating a great car buying process is our top priority and that includes helping our customers find the best financial terms that meet their lifestyle. Every customer's terms are based on a variety of factors including, vehicle price, annual income, credit history as well as other non-credit related data sources. We understand the importance of flexibility and the ability to shop around for the offers. At Carvana, you have the ability to utilize third party financing, purchase with cash, or choose Carvana’s financing terms. We recognize that everyone’s situation is different and apologize if our verification process lacked timeliness and communication. Additionally, we are saddened to hear about the issue you experienced with the vehicle once you received it at the time of the delivery. The condition your vehicle came in is unacceptable and against Carvana’s standard. We want to apologize for the experience you have had with us so far. Our vehicles do go through two separate 150-Point Inspections, however we clearly missed the mark with your vehicle and it is unfair you are having to take time out of your day to fix our mistake. We wish we could have resolved this with you and made sure you ended up in a car that you felt safe and happy with, but we are glad to see that you utilized your 7 Day Money Back Guarantee to return the vehicle. Once again, we are truly sorry for the issues you encountered and we appreciate your patience through it all. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any further questions or concerns.

I loved my experience. I enjoyed being able to see exactly what I would be paying as I looked at each vehicle. Even though I swapped the first vehicle we received, it was relatively trouble free. The condition of the second vehicle that I received was not as good as the first. It had two cracks in the front windshield and it grew significantly as we waited over a week for Carvana to arrange a repair. It also was not detailed. The team did fill it up with premium gas when they delivered it. This was nice. They also said since it wasn't detailed that carvana would reimburse up to $100 to detail it. I thought that was odd, but I did have it detailed and have sent the invoice to them in an email but have received no response as of today. Those were some hiccups.
I arranged third party financing on the second vehicle because the interest rate was almost double for what I got in third party. EVEN WITH ALL OF THAT, the team at Carvana was pleasant, super kind, and professional. I will definitely sell my next vehicle and buy my next vehicle at Carvana. They totally exceeded my expectations.

I bought a used Es 350 year 2013, and traded my mint 2014 Altima with only 38 k.. they gave me 14,200 for it, but the Es was 23,990… I realized it was more but hey it’s a Lexus that looked great and had 36,646 listed as mileage..so I paid the extra, and they delivered the car, no problem, checked car fax, no problem just 1 owner, drove it, no problem, loved it, look great, but a few things started to bother me.. First, all the tires were new, but at least they could have put all 4 tires the same, but not cheap Chinese on the front, and good Yokohamas on the rear.. These cars require touring tires, and they failed on this.. Now for the big problem.. The car says 36,646 but up in the top corner is a carvana next oil change sticker that’s faded, but upon close inspection I can read next oil change at 111,700… Well how am I supposed to take this? Every time I sit in the seat I’m staring at this low mileage thinking I may have been ripped off and fraud all over the place…
I live with this every day and only had the car since July 9 and today is august 23… They should be put in jail, what am I supposed to think now? It’s says on car fax no reported rollback, and car fax says it’s ok, but why the hell is there a sticker on the windshield that says 111k…Somebody screwed up there and I caught it is what I think happened.. I’m paying thousands more possibly than I should, and the sad part is nobody cares, they know nobody can prove it… I will never use them again and don’t trust those creeps..Now what am I supposed to think? I saved the sticker, but don’t trust these people, I’m really sad and thought they were on the level, but I don’t know, sure it’s possible to drive only 5 k s year, heck I did, but what the hell is a sticker doing on the glass that says 111k? Somebody explain this to me please.

First time buying a car online. The folks at Carvana were very helpful. The information about the car I purchased was very accurate. When I received the car I went to the areas mentioned and could confirm the discrepancies. Pricing of the vehicle was upfront with no hidden fees and no haggling.

I purchased a vehicle through Carvana for my daughter. We turned in her lease and purchased this vehicle. The process with the digital paperwork was smooth but everything after that was a nightmare. Keep in mind that when you have an issue there is not a phone number or email where you can reach a supervisor or anyone in Management. Carvana only has one phone number and you can only reach telephone agents. Sure everyone is super nice but they just continue to delay your delivery and give you excuses which are lies. My delivery was delayed 5 times. They cancel your delivery the day before or hours before delivery. The first time they delayed the delivery I was told they couldn’t put it on the truck, the next time they weren’t sure but we’re gonna follow up. The next time I was promised it was locked in and we were getting the car. Then again they didn’t have enough trucks, it’s a logistics issue, always an excuse and promises made.
To make a long story short the final call I received from them was supposedly from a supervisor who was a total joke and he told me they lost the car and didn’t know where it was at. I told him why didn’t they tell me this from the beginning and his response was that they needed to work on training their agents better. Keep in mind that this car at this moment is still for sale on their site and was never removed. I also mailed a letter to their headquarters since it is impossible to speak to anyone in Management and still no response from them. They do not care about their customers. I would stay away from Carvana.
We found my daughter her dream car at Carmax for better price and such a pleasant experience and easy purchase. If you look up reviews for Carvana you will see many people with the same experience as me. I just don’t understand why they give you a delivery date that they know they cannot meet. They are putting people through stress during a pandemic and they are just awful and unprofessional. I will never purchase a car through them.
Also to see that they still have this car for sale is a joke and to never reach out to me, Wow Carvana you should be ashamed of yourself. Recently I looked up this car again on Carvana and it said “purchase in progress” and then a week later it was available again. I’m sure someone tried to purchase it but since they don’t even have this car the order was cancelled. Cannot understand why they don’t take it off their website to avoid having someone go through what I went through but bottom line they do not care. Very sad!

Carvana tries really hard to do the right thing and fix issues but that doesn't prevent the unfortunate issues that we experienced from start to soon to be finish, I definitely would not describe my experience as an "easy" transaction. I provide this feedback in hopes that it will make the company better and not because I am upset or won't use them again. In fact I probably will use them again in hopes of a better experience but here is my experience.
1. After placing order on our 1st option of a vehicle - I had major troubles trying to login and sign my applications. Turns out this was really my fault because I misspelled my email address but it took 3 or 4 phone calls and broken promises for tech support to get back to me to figure this out and correct the issue.
2. Finally got the docs signed on this 1st vehicle and we were excitedly awaiting the delivery when we get a notice the night before that our delivery won't happen and is delayed. Unfortunate but not a huge deal in and of itself so we rescheduled, which wasn't available until 4 days later..
3. The night before our second scheduled delivery we get a notice again saying our delivery is delayed.. And again the earliest available reschedule is 3 or 4 days out. We only have one car that we are trading in so we have to choose a date that my wife has off so we can make the swap, so for each reschedule we have had to push out at least a week.
4. Get the third delivery rescheduled and to be honest we started looking around for other options as we were not confident that the vehicle would be delivered as scheduled. When looking around I find another vehicle on Carvana that I like better and it says that it can be delivered on the same date as our other vehicle. So I call to inquire about swapping vehicles, the women on the phone is very confused by this request and eventually we get disconnected with no callback.. So I call again and get another rep who is very helpful but tells us that not only has our vehicles NOT been swapped but our previous order was cancelled completely so we have NO active orders.. She proceeds to fix that and get us set up with the new vehicle for the same delivery date so I think all is well and I even get a confirmation email that we are all good.
5. The day before the delivery I just thought "maybe I should log in and double check that our delivery is still on track for tomorrow, given our previous issues". To my horror when I log in to my account I have NO active orders.. I immediately call and the rep confirms what I am seeing. Not only that but the two vehicles I was interested in are now both under contract with other buyers... The rep was super friendly and help and said she would get a manager on this and that the manager would call in 24 - 48 hrs to discuss options.
6. The next morning I check Carvana's site to see if one of the two vehicles I wanted happen to be available and sadly they aren't but as luck would have it I find a newly listed one that is even better than the last two so I quickly jump on it.
7. About 36 hrs later I miss a call from Carvana (NO voicemail) and I call back. I speak with a lovely rep that is very helpful but not the manager and she can't transfer me to the manager. So I have to explain everything that has happened AGAIN and the rep has to relay this back to the manager AGAIN...
8. The 3rd and best option vehicle gets delivered as scheduled and the transaction is super easy simple and correct. They even take the vehicle and fill it with a full tank of gas before leaving.
9. Now post purchase apparently there was a hiccup in the docs we signed so they overnighted the docs with a prepaid overnight envelope to send back the signed doc, which was nice.
Any one or maybe two of the issues above wouldn't have been a big deal but the culmination of the entire experience definitely leaves much to desired. In the end we got the PERFECT vehicle that was way better than the original two options and Carvana discounted the vehicle for us (not a significant amount but it was something) and they honored their original trade in value of our vehicle because as you can image we put a lot more miles on it. I wish I could give a 4 or a 5 stars because you can tell they try really hard and definitely do what they can to make things right but this was anything but an "easy" transaction. All that being said when someone asks if I'd use Carvana again I tell them most likely.

The car arrived with oil leaking from the front right axle boot and the oil pan gasket appeared to be missing and oil coming from pan. We were told these cars go through a thorough inspection. Well, not this one. 2014 Lexus RX 350 with 70,000 miles for $25K. It is now currently being repaired ($589) which Carvana says will be covered. Also, the brake rotors are shot...

Everything pre-purchase was absolutely great, after drop-off everything went downhill. Car was bought in March, and still don't have a title/plates. My lender has increased my insurance from 1.9% to %18 since the time has expired for the title to be registered and the lender hasn't been added as a lienholder. I checked the status on this last week and it said "Estimated 28 days left" until finalizing registration. This week it jumped to 85 days...I've had several temporary license plates, which is just a piece of paper that loosely fits and is very prone to water damage. I have no clue as to when I'm actually going to receive it.
Additionally, I had to pay out-of-pocket for damage that I didn't realize had come with the car until I had to get an oil change. The same day the check-engine enabled I went to go change it up. The employees called me over before the process had started and explained that they were having difficulties unscrewing the oil panel cap, we both looked at each other and knew it was threading issue- which it was after further inspection. Since I needed the oil change they carefully pried it open refilled it and obviously it began spilling thereafter. I realized I had to go to my VW dealer to get it fixed, not realizing it was going to cost me $1,500, and since it wasn't triggered by a manufacturer flaw it was covered by my manufacturer's warranty unfortunately.
I called Carvana and I happened to get on the phone with someone and explained the situation and realized I was still in my warranty, but it was negated since I was 100 miles over my warranty limit. The woman suggested that I should have reached out sooner, which doesn't make sense since I wouldn't have needed to change my oil and couldn't have possibly known of this defect.
I went to Twitter and spoke of this to which they promptly responded. They told me that "we are hopeful to find a solution that will be agreeable to you" and "I have tried a few different avenues to determine what the best course of action would be to get you reimbursed in some way for this issue"- that was a 1 month and 2 days ago. I have sent four messages in the interim and can see that they've read it, but never get a response back.
Long story short, I feel that they've completely left me in the dark, told me what I wanted to hear, and hoped I'd forget or dismiss it. I work in product support myself and I could never imagine not keeping my customer updated or at least provide some clarity. I'm deeply disappointed and just wanted to share this with the community in case you're on the edge of going through Carvana.

I had a positive experience buying my car but my review is about the problems I've had getting the company to give me my title. I bought the car to ship overseas and don't need it registered. I do however, need my title in order to ship the car. I spoke to their registration team days after the purchase and after 3 days of back and forth, was told that they would send me the documents so I could self-register and that would expedite getting me the documents. That was over 3 weeks ago. I waited almost 10 days and received nothing so I called again. Again I was assured that the documents would be FedExed overnight to me. That was 5 days ago.
I called yesterday and was again told that the documents would be sent today. Then this evening, I received an email asking me to fill out a titling form. But the form was not attached to the email. I'm assuming this means that my documents were not FedExed as promised. I have tried calling 5 times in the last 24 hours and each call back has hung up on me. I'm at my wits' end, they give me a run around each time and make assurances that aren't true. And now I will be delayed in sending out my vehicle that I purchased a full month ago. Very negative experience and now unfortunately, I can't recommend them to others as a company to use.

I was very hesitant about shopping for a new ride on the internet. But with the spread of COVID, I felt it was time to let go and try the new way of buying a vehicle. Carvana made the process so easy! I already had an idea of what I was looking for and was surprised to find so many listed in the inventory for the 2021 Hyundai Kona SE. I picked out three low mileage models which I feel in love with. Carvana offered prequalifying for financing, which was completed in minutes. Carvana completed the inspection of the available vehicle and I was notified a few weeks later to start the purchase process.
It was done quickly, with all paperwork signed off electronically to complete the purchase. There was no down payment and delivery was free. In days a sanitized, touchless delivery of my 2021 Kona was sitting in my driveway. This was the best car shopping experience I have ever had and would highly recommend anyone looking for a low mileage vehicle to avoid the high-pressure sales at a dealership and go with the new norm for car shopping.

The vehicle is fine, but the delivery driver would not deliver to my home, had to drive three hour round trip to get the vehicle, had no temp plate so had to drive illegally to get home. Got the registration packet, was not told docs needed notarized, four hour round trip to notary, returned docs via FedEx, got delivery receipt, almost three weeks later and I get daily emails and texts with dire severe language warning me that they still need my docs. Four times I’ve been told by a real person that they do have all docs. But multiple times a day I still get these urgent messages, and no idea where the registration process is. Extremely frustrating and surprisingly unprofessional for a company of this size.

The whole process was seamless and easy. I have only one actual voice to voice communication and that was just to verify the search my vehicle search. After I spoke with that individual, confirmed that I want the vehicle that I found, and he removed it from their website; other than the occasional update text, I had no further contact with anyone until the vehicle arrived at my home. When my vehicle was handed off to the customer advocate who delivered my vehicle, she began to correspond with me via text. There weren't any other communications unnecessary and unrelated to the vehicle delivery. When she arrived she told me she was there. She gave me brief instructions about what to do next. I took the car for a test drive and upon my return she again gave me instructions on what to do. When she left, that's all she wrote. Great process! Will definitely do it again

This is the second time I've used Carvana and the experience has been excellent. They have a wide range of vehicles to choose from. Both vehicles were reasonably priced and the process to purchase through delivery was incredibly simple. In fact, one purchase was made while we were sitting in a restaurant after an afternoon of traveling to different car lots to try to find something. It literally took a couple of minutes on my phone.
The quality of both vehicles was very good. We experienced an issue with the breaks on a car that we had purchased for my son. I called to inform them and they had a mechanic within a couple of miles of our home fix it under a warranty that is provided. So, even if you do find something wrong with the vehicle after purchase you can return it or have it fixed. I would definitely recommend Carvana and will consider them in the future.

In looking for a new vehicle, I tried Carvana. The selection and financial approval process was smooth and easy to navigate. However, once my car was selected, it took over two weeks for me to be notified of its status. I contacted the chat option numerous times but each time I was left dissatisfied and frustrated. As a result, I selected another vehicle hoping to have a better experience. I was again disappointed when the delivery date kept getting pushed further and further away, they said it was due to delivery issues. Once the vehicle arrived, I was pleased with its appearance and the seamless process of taking ownership. Overall, I was not disappointed but neither was I fully satisfied with the process. Maybe next time will be better.

I purchased a couple of vehicles from Carvana, I would actually probably buy from them again in the future because there is nothing easier than the purchase experience through them than anywhere else. The reason for the lower rating and the reason to prompt me to write a review is that working with customer service has always been the issue. Currently I am awaiting a 14.9k payoff on my truck that I sold back to them a month ago. My issue with this is well, first I would like my payment and two, I have to call daily in order to make any progress.
When I do reach someone, it is always, "We will call you back once we investigate." Calls never are returned. They are extremely overworked, very siloed as each department goes through the main channel. I am sure at some point I will receive payment, as with my vehicle purchases all things in the end get taken care of but it's the time and effort it takes in order to get the solutions fixed that will drive you insane. People on the phone are extremely nice and polite, everyone I have ever dealt with has always tried to help, it is the time and burden of the time spent in order to get things resolved that is just really insane. Do your homework, buy the vehicle you want the first time, these vehicles are not very clean when you get them, be sure to take pictures and send it online of everything not the way it was suppose to be. It will take you some real time, but eventually they do solutions really well.
We would like to thank you for coming back to Carvana for another purchase, but we are so sorry to hear that your experience was less than perfect this time around. We apologize about the delay regarding the payoff of the vehicle you sold to us. Carvana prides itself on a streamlined process and we are disappointed that you feel we failed to provide you with that. Additionally, we are saddened to hear that you felt you were the go-to communicator in your conversations with Carvana.

Unfortunately, my suspicions of a flawless transaction were confirmed. After making arrangements several days in advance and selecting the option for a check payment, Carvana called 30 minutes prior to arrival to inform they could still pick the vehicle up, but did not have the arranged check payment. After numerous conversations with customer service we were forced into a electronic payment that would take days to process/receive. Even then, once the road represents vice called we were told the price of 9,400 exceeded the amount they could provide by electronic payment. Now what?

There was a lack of consistency with the many representatives I spoke with. I started my purchase on my own until I ran into confusion, at which point I reached out to Carvana. The first representative I worked with was fantastic although, she failed to inform me of the extra $1500 charge for the extended warranty I declined. After receiving a loan including the extra $1500, I reached another representative, explained I did not want this included. They respected and changed that in the purchase order so, I then explained I would be paying with a cashier's check over $1500 for the purchase order. They explained that was acceptable they would reimburse me... until I spoke to another rep who explained they could not reimburse over $500 dollars. They tried to convince me to stick with an extended warranty and then cancel it before 30 days with their warranty company to be reimbursed.
I called their warranty partner who explained how complicated the process was of canceling the coverage. I reached another rep with Carvana who took the extra $1500 off but I had to go back to my lender to pay off the first loan and reapply for a loan for the new amount. This process was nonstop for a week and could've been avoided if all representatives were informed of Carvana's practices. Overall, the purchase went through and I have a reliable vehicle, which is why I have given them 2 stars, but I could have gained this same outcome without the hassle.

First let me start by saying, I know plenty of people who had a good experience with Carvana, but mine was not. First attempt I tried to buy a truck and most of the way through the process all of the sudden the truck became unavailable to me as it was being purchased by someone else, should not happen. Second attempt got all the way to pick up at the vending machine, went on a test drive and the car died during the test drive, they offered to fix it but decided to try again. Third attempt had to wait 3 weeks to get, 2 for shipping and 1 for their delivery which was problematic, then while sitting in the driveway it dies too, decided to have them fix it.
So of my 7 day test drive I have the car a few hours and the rest of the time it was in the shop. They call me to see how I like the car and I explain the situation and they say "oh sorry to hear that" and explain that the next day I am stuck with it because the 7 day test drive will be over and I didn't even have the car back from the shop yet. Thankfully the Carvana warranty is good because it was $2000 worth of repairs needed, and yes it passed their inspection. Carvana said they were going to send me a $200 voucher for my trouble but as you can guess never received it. Carvana had zero sympathy for the situation or concern for it either, needless to say, I will never buy a car from them again!

If you want the process of purchasing a vehicle to require extensive hours of work over multiple days and have the entire process from start to finish take over 2 weeks, then buy a car from Carvana. Available delivery/pickup dates are misleading until you're halfway through the purchase. Photographed imperfections are not thorough and they'll get one small spot but miss the major ones which is misleading. The worst customer service you can imagine 360 degrees. With this company, no one person is assigned to your purchase so every time you had to interact with someone, you talk to an entirely different person which can be a huge time sink.
I spoke to probably a total of 10-15 customer service reps during my purchase and nearly every single one of them had no idea what they were doing and would put me on hold for super long periods of time just to return with completely irrelevant responses(to very basic and common things) to then put me on hold again and return again and again with nothing helpful. Average phone call was 30-60mins long and 9/10 times unfruitful. They'll say they'll call you back before the end of the day and they never do. To me it seems like their customer service reps don't know, don't care. I thought after the first one or two bad experiences with the service reps I just got unlucky but it is seriously a 90% chance you will have someone incompetent. It's so bad you almost feel like you're being trolled, like how is it possible to even be that bad at listening to and comprehending what someone is saying.
They have no way of receiving help from a manager or someone who knows more than they do if they run into problems and their only way of getting upper division help is by submitting something to them and having you wait 24-48 hours to hear back. Keep in mind I had already begun the purchase so time was important and I wasn't some unpaying customer demanding their time and resources, I was three quarters through getting this car. When you start to purchase a car the website will tell you that it's available a certain date and once you're halfway through buying it you'll realize that's not a real date, and they're booked out 9+ days in advance for pick up or delivery.
They don't actually photograph all the imperfections inside and outside. If you call before delivery and ask for them to give you more info about any cosmetic imperfections (Carmax will do this for you without you even having to ask if they're shipping a car to you) they'll agree to and then never get back to you. Your car shows up and yes it has the one tiny hardly noticeable scratch they photographed, but what about the 3 other much larger imperfections they didn't mention?! I personally would rather deal with 1 day of annoyance with a haggling car dealer in person than this nightmare for 2 weeks. But honestly if you want something like Carvana just go with CarMax. I went there first and loved the experience and quality of service and assistance, and am really kicking myself for not following through with Carmax instead of Carvana.

So I then cancelled that car to find a car I could get sooner. I ordered another car so I could get one sooner. So again they send me a form to send to my insurance and again they kept sending me the wrong forms and had to keep going back and forth with insurance with again 3 different forms.
So now a week and a half later I was getting another car delivered.

I recently purchased a used car from Carvana with 81,000 miles. The car as delivered was exactly as described and fully usable. The interior was clean, with the exception of some removable staining on the leather seats and door liner surface that interior cleaner removed. Under the hood, the fluids looked as though they had been flushed. Tire pressures were all correct, including the spare. After about 1,500 miles of driving, I find I got what was promised. All the features of this option-rich model work correctly. The employees were polite and finished the paperwork in just a few minutes -- a great advantage over the typical ordeal of the new car buying experience. For example, there was no "finance office" in which the new car buyer must endure come ons to over-priced "extras" of dubious value.
I would have preferred to have been spared the childish delivery theatrics. I was forced to put a large "coin" in a slot, whereupon the car descended from where it was stored inside the Carvana glass tower. The noise of the elevator mechanism was amplified to near deafening levels inside the glass-lined customer area. (It was so loud, it hurt my ears). The Carvana employee present refused to mute the amplification, so I left the building and waited outside, contemplating why Carvana management would think its customers have the mentality of ten-year old boys enjoying very loud banging noises. It was truly off-putting and marred what would otherwise have been an event-free and pleasant purchase experience. Should the need arise, I would purchase from Carvana again, but I would insist that the car be on the pavement before I arrived.

I bought my first car online using Carvana. I had been shopping for this car for a while. Looking through the Carvana website, I found one that grabbed my attention. After looking at it extensively, I sought financing through Carvana. The website provided actual photos of the vehicle, and documented imperfections with that vehicle. I selected the car and made the purchase in roughly two hours. The car was delivered seven days later. The delivery person was professional and I received regular text messages as to where the car was.
Upon arrival, the car was exactly as described on the website. The Carfax history was accurate. It had a fresh oil change and the tires appeared new or had not been on the vehicle very long. Carvana contacted the company that holds the extended warranty for the car and set up the process to have an additional electronic key made. The title process has taken a little longer, but that can be attributed to the rise in COVID-19 cases. I have no doubt that my vehicle registration will arrive in a timely manner. I recommend Carvana to anyone who is looking to purchase a vehicle.

I opted to pick up the vehicle for the @Carvana Vending experience, but the machine wasn't working. That should have been my first omen. When they brought the vehicle around the tech pointed out cosmetic issues with the interior dashboard (omen #2), which he confirmed could not be seen from the pictures listed online. He reassured me they could repair it and referred me to one of their preferred service centers @MAACO. I get to the service center and the mechanic chuckles and says "we don't do that type of work here!" (omen #3). So I let that slide. On day 10 the car completely dies on me. (Convenient that it happens just after the 7-day return policy). EVERY light on my dashboard lit up like Christmas. I called the customer service center @SilverRock to have the vehicle towed and THAT was a fiasco! I was told they scheduled a tow truck to come pick up the car and that it would take 2-2.5 hours.
As the ETA came and went, I called the missing tow truck company @C&JTowing only to get a voice mail indicating they close in 15-minutes. Now panicked, I call @SilverRock customer service again. And again they dispatch yet another towing company with the same ETA time-frame. As the second ETA time was approaching two of the friendliest and kind-hearted gentlemen, Mr. ** and Mr. ** with @BigMackTowing&Recovery arrived to transport the vehicle to an "in network" repair center @RPCarfix chosen by @SilverRock. A mechanic from @RPCarfix calls me that same evening to inform me that they received the vehicle but that they were swamped and they wouldn't be able to do a diagnostic test on the vehicle for four days.
Being the calm and patient person I've grown to be, I shrugged it off and said okay. The very next day I wake up to a news report that my local @Carvana Center (the same location I went to), has been sued by @NCDMV and had their @Carvana dealers license revoked and have been banned by the county from selling any vehicles due to violating licensing laws. ** @CARVANA ....WTH!

I started looking at Carvana about a month ago. I was uneasy about purchasing something I would not see or touch until after I had committed to owning said purchase. After days and weeks of research, I found the car I had been looking for. It had a little more miles than I would have preferred, but everything else was what I wanted. So I thought, well with a 7 day guarantee, why not! This is where things miserably wrong and yet amazingly well depending on where you were in the process.
The moment I said yes was a mess - I had in my hot little hands the start of my trade in. I had given them general info about my trade in, but nothing specific when I started looking a month prior. Now that I had said yes to the car, I need to get a final offer, which was simple, just upload pictures of the mileage, title, and my driver's license. Life was good and I was offered about what I thought I would get for a trade..... So, on to applying my trade to my purchase. This is where things went wrong. For 2 days I sat in the cycle loop of their tool trying to apply my trade in. Nothing worked so I attempted support. My support rep didn't understand how to spell car yet alone how to troubleshoot. So disconnect and get a new guy. This person seemed ok and knew what they were doing. We had a conversation. They were kind, and then all of a sudden without warning, they were gone.
Come to find out it was the end of their day, so without warning they just went away.... So called the support/customer support line. Talked to a nice lady who said, yes sometimes there's an issue with our software and this happens. Let me put in a ticket to get it resolved. I'll also extend the car's purchase for 24 hours so we can get this resolved..... Next day, after 3 people I finally got someone of all things on FB messenger. Apparently because I stated the trade in process a month ago and didn't finish, my trade had pseudo expired. They fixed it, and away we went....
The rest of the buying experience was easy peasy and flying. We were done in 10 minutes and received a call a bit later asking for one more document. But after that we were approved! Wahoo, my new Tesla would be here in a few days.... Oh man the excitement! Fast forward to delivery day. My delivery driver was the brightest star of this entire mess! Oh man was he amazing. He deserves a gold star, a bucket of candy, and someone to do something amazing for him, he really made what was a so-so experience better, and he would have gotten 100 stars in a review on his own.
So he texted me specific instructions before his arrival. Then shortly before he was to arrive, he called to say, the car was really low on battery life. He gave me my options (deliver, wait and let him charge for a bit, or reschedule my delivery). I chose to have him bring the car, after all, I can plug it in as easy as he can. He showed up, was kind, professional, he had read my file and knew the purchase was a mess, so he brought me a little peace offering, he walked my car and found a little extra's that were not disclosed so HE started the paperwork to make them right, he did everything plus some that should've been done! He really provided a truly amazing experience.
Also, he didn't feel the car was detailed to a good enough standard, so he applied a credit to my account so I could have it properly cleaned. What account or how that works, I don't know that calling customer support is really would do again. And then.... Well the charger was missing. Not his fault, he got on the phone to resolve the situation. And we agreed that I would go to their location to get a charger. No harm no foul. Drove about 30 minutes away and picked up the charger. The only issue I have was I was told the car had a Tesla charger and I was offered an off brand with a Tesla add on to fit my car. It is what it is.
Here I am the day after the delivery. I love the car and as soon as it has full power I will be excited to drive it. After talking with Tesla it takes several days and maybe a week for the car to be switched to the new owner. Until then you cannot use their charging stations so your only option is at home. Normally this would not be an issue, and if the car had not had such a low battery then it really wouldn't have been an issue. So in the future, and since you have a TON of Teslas, I'd suggest ensuring they are fully charged and all cords are in the vehicle when delivered. Tesla's customer service, or lack there of does not help the situation. Also, if Carvana would've taken over the Tesla from the previous owner, they could've transferred the car right to me, and I'd be on my way in 10 minutes but because they did not, I cannot use the features of the Tesla including charging for a week or so.
Knowing what I know, would I us Carvana again? I don't know. The misses were pretty big, but the delivery driver made all the difference! If I knew I'd have that same delivery experience, maybe. If I had an awful delivery experience they would have taken the car back. I'll be excited when I can actually enjoy my car. Hopefully soon.

Buying a car with Carvana, I found a van and started the process online. They asked me to call in, I did and confirmed everything. My bank sent a wire only to find out they lost my wire, missed my name on the account and couldn’t connect any of the details. How do you lose 40k?? Then they rescheduled my drop off 4 different times. I had to call in and ask for someone to look at the account 3 days in a row, always getting a new representative, who couldn’t help me, who wasn’t trained, who needed to reach out to someone else for help, lasting in over an hour on the phone 3 days in a row.
Finally someone was able to find the wire (which should take 24 hours, and it took like 3 days with them)…(I will also mentioned that I asked for a manager call back, followed the 24-48 hour process and no one called me back. I asked to speak to leadership and was declined. I asked to be transferred to executive line and was declined. I had a lead tell me on the phone that he was as high as I could go, lies. I’ve seen the executive page and work in a call center, I know the rules. They refused to escalate my call, or help with my issue… which is why I am leaving a review in the first place.) And then had to reschedule my car drop off. I finally got the van, and the front control arm bushings are torn. They charged me $50 copay to get it fixed at the Honda dealership because it’s out of network… it’s the manufacture and it was within the 7 days return policy. (I paid for my own buyers inspection to ensure safety… and I am glad I did.)
I hate the fact that I spent so much time dealing with these people. I have 3 kids and wanted an easy experience (which is what they market) to receive the most frustrating experience ever! Untrained, unskilled representatives who cannot help, who don’t know how to navigate their systems. Their financial department lost 40k (HOW??!!) and had to reschedule delivery and then misrepresentation on the 150 point inspection they offer. They told me the car was in perfect shape... NEGATIVE. It was a terrible, long, and hard process which I don’t recommend. Buyers, read all the other reviews out there, and be careful, don’t trust them.

Where do I start with this pos company, everything went well until it was time to deliver, 4 days I had to take off from work because they said the vehicle is being delivered and what do they offer $25 a day with max of $350. Mind you I'm buying a $55k vehicle and every day when it supposed to be delivered they call me to send them a selfie with my license and my insurance info, just to get a callback an hour later that something is wrong with the vehicle and they have to reschedule. If I haven't sold my other car already I would cancel this purchase and go find a car at a normal dealership. I would not recommend this service to my worst enemy, never again will I buy a car from these fools.

Literally the worst customer experience I’ve ever had. If I didn’t need a car so bad I would of given back the vehicle. The Jeep arrived not detailed on the inside whatsoever (there was a FRITOS BAG in the dashboard for example), bad tires and cosmetic issues not mentioned in the listing. The driver was horrified. Instead of Carvana solving the issue all they do is push the issues off to a 3rd party warranty company, Silverrock and they only care about NOT helping. Silverrock does everything they can to AVOID paying any vehicle issues carvana messed up on.
When I try reaching out to a Carvana sales advocate they will be mid conversation and then DISAPPEAR for 5 hours, I’m not exaggerating. I was chatting with an advocate today for example and the convo started at 1:20. Answered twice then didn’t answer me again until 6:04 in the same conversation. They’ve been more of a hassle than anything. If the car arrived perfect then I could see how the experience would be good because everything prior to the Jeep arriving was a good experience BUT if there are any issue with your vehicle after purchase (and I mean any issue) Carvana does everything in their power not to fix it. Even though it’s their fault for not mentioning any of those things in the listing on top of the lack of cleaning/detailing.
Oh wait Carvana did say they’d send a $100 check so I could get the car detailed. Even though they promise all Carvana cars are detailed they still expect me to set aside time out of my day to do this. Oh and I won’t receive the check for up to two months maybe more. Once the sale is complete Carvana’s job is done, they could care less about the customer or fixing issues CARVANA caused. Save yourself the trouble and just don’t use this company.

Really a great experience. I loved being able to browse for the vehicle I wanted online, at all hours (picked out my car and started the purchase process in the middle of the night!). The customer service has been great. The ease of the whole process (no in person dealership visits, no pushy sales people, all online and super user friendly) was amazing and made the higher percentage rate to finance through Carvana (rather than my credit union) completely worth it. My new to me car is awesome and exactly as described. I have been recommending to everyone I know.

The purchase experience was very smooth, but getting the car delivered was a huge pain. 1. First they scheduled a delivery to my house, but it was going to take a week. 2. They informed me 24 hours before the delivery time that it would be delayed another 5 days. I had already made plans to not work that day so it was difficult to switch things around. 3. They informed me via email 24 hours before the rescheduled delivery day that my car could not be delivered to my home and instead I would need to go pick it up at a location that is 5 hours from my house in another state. 4. I immediately called to see what was going on and sat on hold for over and hour.
5. After speaking to the representative (Who was very friendly and trying to help I think), I was informed that they had no idea why my car could not be delivered. They were going to research it and call me back within the hour. 6. No call back that day. 7. I called back again the next morning (only a 5 minute wait that time) and had the same result (another friendly phone rep for what it's worth), but this time I got a call back within the hour.
8. They informed me that they still had no idea what happened but that my car was not actually at the place 5 hours from my house (glad I didn't just drive there to get it like the email told me to), but was actually at a location about an hour and a half away. So I dealt with rescheduling work for the third time and drove an hour and a half away to pick up the car. They apologized many times and offered me some compensation for my trouble, which was appreciated. I'm happy with the car, but what a hassle.
Pros:
1. Initial purchase was quick and easy.2. Everyone I spoke to was very friendly and I believe doing their best to help when I was speaking with them.
3. They did compensate me for my gas/time to drive and pick up the car which was appreciated.
Cons:
1. One of their major selling points is how easy they make it to get your car. They failed big time on that front in my case.2. Not getting a call back from the rep the first time after waiting on hold for over an hour was irritating, but these things happen.
3. I would be in a much more sour mood if I had driven 5 hours away to pick up a car that wasn't there. Whatever the issue was that caused that email to go out needs to be addressed ASAP or they will have very unhappy customers if it happens again.
Hopefully it was just a freak incident and doesn't represent any kind of pattern, but they asked me to a review and I felt it was beneficial to pass along my experience.

This was the worst buying experience I ever had. I submitted all documents as asked and pay stubs are current as the website says within 35 days. They are good. My pay stubs are barely a week old. I submitted then prior to them even being that old. Kept being told for almost two weeks they are being reviewed. I work two jobs and can well afford this vehicle. I I've never been to a dealership where I need to submit 5 paystubs. That's outrageous and kinda feel as if I was being discriminated. At this point stay away from them. Wasted my time. I needed this car. They were in my state. I could've went with another company and been had my vehicle. Never dealing with them again.

The Carvana website is easy to navigate and allows the user to view the vehicle from all angles and distances. This provides the opportunity to see the noted flaws (pointed out by Carvana, by the way). Their policies give the consumer every opportunity to physically examine the car before purchasing. The person who delivered the car was very willing to help by going over the vehicle and documenting any issues we may have had. Issues were solved promptly and willingly.
The companies recommended by Carvana did an excellent job in making sure the Carvana staff followed through and checked numerous times to be sure that we were satisfied by answering any questions/concerns that we may have had.

I have been buying 2-3 year old cars for the past 40 years. I like more unique cars that are impossible to find locally. So I had to buy remotely and have the Vehicle shipped. It was always a pain, very Scary and I ran into some really stupid problems and really stupid people along the way. At first I thought Carvana was another gimmick and the cars would be overpriced. I never even went to their site until I saw a vehicle on cars.com that was listed by carvana. The price seemed right, so I went to their site. Unfortunately the car I wanted was already sold, but fortunately I learned a bit about Carvana in the process.
So I signed up for email notifications on the car I was looking for. The experience was awesome!! ALL of the issues/crap I have dealt with over the years buying remotely were gone!!! I love my new car!! I knew it intimately before receiving it, which was very conforming. The scam factor was zero. The car and the Carvana people were better than I could have hoped for!

I read reviews like mine and for some reason gave them a chance, anyway. Big mistake and I wasted two weeks and countless hours on the phone. The process of buying a car is super easy, it gets you very excited that you may never have to go to a dealership again. I was pre-approved and sent it every document they needed right away and boom, my car was going to be delivered in six days! I was so excited.
A few days later, I get a text saying the truck carrying my car was in an accident and it would be 5 days late. Okay.. 5 days after that, they text and tell me they can't locate the car and it's delayed one more day. Two hours later, they text again that it will be another 2 days more now. I try to call them to find out what is going on and it's impossible to get them on the phone. I was on hold for 44 minutes. I finally speak to someone and she says she is looking into it, another 30 minute hold with the worst music you've ever heard, and I get disconnected. I literally never talked to someone. I texted to say I want to cancel the whole thing and someone replies "are you sure?" I said yes and never heard another word. You'd think they'd care more that they just lost 44k in a sale but literally, not a word. It was such a waste of my time. Believe the bad reviews. Save yourself.

Carvana delivered my 2017 Bolt on time. One tire was damaged on the car. The tire was replaced and I was reimbursed, although I am not impressed with SilverRock because of the wait time on the phone and a lack of “approved” service centers in my area. This is my second purchase. My first purchase was a better experience. The first car was cleaner and included the factory charger and tire inflator, while the Bolt had an aftermarket charger and inflator. Also, while minor details, the first car came with Carvana sunglasses and mugs. The little details made the customer experience better. It seems Carvana has slipped a little in customer service, but I still would recommend this company.

I purchased a 2017 Audi A6 from Carvana during the summer of 2021. The process started out great. From finding the car to financing, the process was smooth and seamless. It also took less than 30 minutes after I landed on the vehicle which seemed to be a great price! The car was to be delivered on July 5th, but that's when the challenges started. I received a text message from Carvana the day before that the car would be delayed until July 21st. I talked with one of their Advocates and she mentioned that there was a note that it needed to go to the paint shop, though no one was ever able to tell me what was painted and why. They did offer a $25/day incentive (payable if I decided to keep the car) and fortunately, that was enough to cover the extension of the insurance rental that I had, since the Audi was a replacement for a car that was wrecked in a car accident.
When the car arrived it looked exactly as promised, but it was really loud at speeds over 20 mph. I took it to a local garage for a used car inspection and they found about $3,000 of critical work that needed to be done on the vehicle. The loud noise was coming from bearings in the front wheels, but they also found a leak in the oil pan. Because we were within the 7-day return window, I called Carvana who connected me with their warranty provider SilverRock. They had me take the car to the local Pep Boys who confirmed the issues. Since it took them five days to fix the car (while navigating approvals from SilverRock and their own challenges), Carvana did offer two extensions on the 7-day return window.
I have to stress that everyone that I spoke to (Carvana, SilverRock & Pep Boys) was very kind during the process. However, it was pretty clear from the beginning that if the car had gone through the 150-point check that's promised on Carvana's site, at least some of the issues would've been easily caught during that process. Although I went back and forth on returning the vehicle, I ultimately decided to keep it since after two garage visits it was now a known quantity.
The friendly associates and easy-to-navigate processes really saved the experience for me. If I had any recommendation, it'd definitely be to take your Carvana purchase to a local garage that you trust during the 7-day return window. The one I had done was just $65. If nothing else, you'll have peace of mind on your purchase.

This was a great experience! To start, I hate the whole car buying/dealership experience. I was looking for a specific car and the current car market is low supply/high demand. There were 2 cars that met my criteria on Carvana. Once the car I choose came off of hold (i.e. the previous customer did not buy it – similar to having a time limit to complete your transaction when buying concert tickets), I put the car on hold. They gave me like 30 or 40 minutes. In that time, I was able to go through the whole buying process, get approved for financing through Carvana (I also had enough time to get financing through my own bank). Carvana’s rate at 3.9% could not compete with my bank at 1.9%, but it was nice to have the Carvana’s financing option.
The price was the price, no haggling or, let me talk to my manager…also no leaving the dealership always wondering if you got one-upped and left something on the table. I do not know if I could have got a better price, but the price was in-line with my expectations. Either way, the experience and lack of pain was worth every penny and more. Carvana (like dealership) asked if you wanted extras like warranty, etc, but instead of dealing with a salesperson who tells you saying no is the hugest mistake in your life, you just click no and move on. I did not have a trade in, so I cannot comment on that. I had a 10 minute call a couple days after purchase with Carvana’s underwriting group to verify financing (1st human contact).
I scheduled delivery to my home (think Doordash for cars people) which was for the 20th and got notification the day before it was delayed and would be the 31st. I work in the logistics industry and know that driver shortages/delays in freight is real problem, so I do not hold it against Carvana that my original delivery was pushed back. Car arrived on a single carrier and driver went through 2-3 minutes of paperwork, unloaded car, had me test drive and asked if I had any questions (2nd human contact).
Both human contacts were quick because I wanted it that way…both the underwriting person and the driver were very pleasant and would have spent as much time as needed to go through questions. I bought a car in/out in less than an hour, all from the comfort of home. I didn’t waste 4-6 hours at a dealership. I will buy all my future cars this way. Lastly, although I knew this was the car I wanted, it was nice (and I am sure for others) having up to 2 trade ins within 7 days/400 miles. Thanks Carvana, great work.

We got a quote for our Honda Civic, provided documentation, then set an appointment for two days later. We received a text from Carvana confirming the appt. We received a confirming text the day of delivery. However, they didn't show, didn't call, so 40 minutes after the time they should have showed up, we called wondering what was going on and they said, "oh yeah, our ability to print a check is down..." (Hello? You didn't know a half hour before the appointment? At the appt time? You just couldn't be bothered to call and tell us that? Are we supposed to just wait around forever?!) So we rescheduled for 8:30 the next morning.
At 8:50 we started texting the number they confirmed the first appointment on, no response. We called, and they said, "We're booked up solid!" I said get them here in two hours and we're still a go. The agent transfers me to a supervisor, who calls the hub, and they say, "Well, the best we can do is about 7pm to 9pm tonight." I've already explained twice that I'm leaving to travel for three weeks, so I encourage her to call them back and try again, and she said they just couldn't do it. OMG! I've got a really nice car, that's been garaged for the last 1.5 years, a Honda Civic Turbo with only 10,500 miles on it, no body issues, no stains, it'll come with WeatherTech floor mats, and custom sunshield, etc....

I purchased a 2017 Subaru Forester. It was delivered with previously undisclosed damage to the upholstery in the cargo area. Carvana assured me they would take care of all damages. They passed me off to a 3rd party warranty company called Silver Rock. They are not helpful. They are asking me to do all the legwork and even to incur the expense for the repair and then submit for reimbursement. I purchased the car online because I was promised convenience and ease of use. I got neither. I have very limited time. They would be taking care of this. It's their error. I will not recommend Carvana to anyone in the future. Awful.

Purchase car in April 2021. Beautiful car and was a great experience I thought. Until we showed day 2 water in trunk by spare tire. Sales says it came from the car wash prior to delivery.

July 2021 more rain and more calls - take back to same repair shop. They can’t seem to find where water coming in at... let’s wait until it rain again and see if it happen again.

I asked post sales rep can I trade it. The answer is no. Well I tell anyone this sucks... mildew and mold smell constantly. Carvana do not stand behind their word. I’m very disappointed.

The biggest downside with Carvana (in my opinion) is trying to get a live person to communicate with should any issues come up. We had a few minor items post the trial period and it's darn near impossible to get to speak with anyone.

All is well now, but things were a bit shaky at first. Props to the customer service team for navigating the difficulties of being an out of market buyer. That comes with its own difficulties like waiting a longggg time if you choose delivery. Beware that swapping our vehicles due to dissatisfaction is going to be nearly impossible due to time and the $599 delivery fee both ways.
I knew something was wrong when I watched the delivery person hooking a charger to my vehicle before driving it off the truck. I would not start this vehicle for about 5 days —after I picked it up from the mechanic who installed a new battery. Besides that the vehicle was dirty inside and out. The key fob came with a low battery. I would have expected a little better work on those details considering the money I spent. Still working on purchasing a battery for the key fob and I’ve cleaned inside and out. Like I said customer service was top notch even if the experience was lacking.
We appreciate your feedback regarding the customer service you received. Teaching our advocates how to communicate with empathy, passion, and understanding is essential to who Carvana is, and we are glad your concerns were addressed. However, we want to apologize for the problems you experienced so soon after delivery. It is unacceptable to hear that your vehicle arrived dirty and with a dead battery.

Shopping online for my car was a breeze. Carvana's website is well organized and easy to use. They provide detailed information on each vehicle including a Carfax report. Once I had decided on a vehicle and was approved for financing by my bank, the online forms were well explained and easy to get through. The whole process took less than an hour. Though my original delivery date was delayed by 2 days, the customer service department made sure to communicate what the issue was and promptly rescheduled. On the day of delivery, my car arrived within the 30 minute window I was quoted, and the two customer service representatives were courteous and efficient. There was minimal paperwork to deal with as most of the details were taken care of online.

I am not one to write a bad review but really can't get good answers so figured I would warn. They just keep changing my delivery and it's getting really hard to get to work. My boss is understanding but how many times can I tell them, "I am late" or "Am having trouble arranging transportation. But don't worry I swear I am getting a new car delivered tomorrow." I have literally had this conversation twice and now I have to go tell management for the 3rd time it's going to be another week before I can be reliable? I have 2 kids and just really need this car to come. But less than 24hrs before drop off I get a text it's going to be another 6 days? Please. This isn't as straightforward as they make it seem. Still waiting on my car.

Preordered a 2017 Mini Cooper Clubman based on posted window sticker. Waited about 11 days and got notified at 7:03 pm with “The mini clubman just finished going through our reconditioning and detailing process and is on its way to being photographed! Twenty three minutes later at 7:26 pm on same day, I got another email saying the car was ready and “This vehicle has been inspected and perfected, ensuring that it meets Carvana's stringent standards for quality.” I was pretty excited to see the pictures of the car. First thing I noticed was the wheels were not the $1,000 option wheels as advertised.
They were plain mini standard wheels. As I continued looking, it was obvious the car hadn’t been touched. So much for the claims of inspected, perfected, and detailed. The car was filthy on the inside. You can literally see dust, hair, etc., in every interior picture. The outside was dirty too. I know Carvana will respond with the typical corporate answer and apologize. If Carvana is going to advertise a car and post a window sticker, the car should match the sheet. If somethings missing such as $1,000 option wheels, their so called experts at reconditioning should catch the issue.
Maybe, Carvana should follow others lead and only post a “coming soon” ad with pictures once a car has been detailed. How someone could create a 360 view, photograph the filthy car and then notify a customer in 23 minutes says a lot about the process and employees. I got nothing but canned replies when I finally got a human. Even uploaded pictures to the text stream of the car but no humans cared enough to inquire. So, I will steer everyone I know far from this dealer and will buy a car where humans are available to communicate.

Updated on 08/05/2021: Update on 2013 Audi, vehicle has been in shop now for a week with Oil leak, oil housing will have to be replaced and also radiator leak. Carvana responded to my review. We see it’s being taken care of by Silver Rock. Only thing they say. So again take your money elsewhere. It has been clear from their own customer advocate they do not fully inspect vehicles and anything found after the 7 days is a, "Well we didn’t know", so you're stuck with a non running vehicle, call Silver Rock and the irony this is the second time my vehicle has been in the shop, the first time during the 7 day money back and oh yeah had to pay a deductible during the 7 days to have the control arm fixed.
Don’t be like me. Go elsewhere. They may have some decent cars but hopefully you don’t get a bad one because if all the issues are not found in 7 day 10 days 50 miles driven! You are stuck with a broken vehicle. Top that off still waiting on refund from warranty cancelled on my first purchase. Have all emails saying they will refund my money and on the phone with their ‘’executive resolution team’’ who they will make you wait a hour to speak to after they flag your account as a problem account. They have no idea what refund I’m talking about.
Original Review: Please read this review before purchasing through Carvana. This is my second purchase with them. The first one was smooth for a 2015 for mustang put down over 10k drove less than 100 miles, decided did not want the vehicle. Had to trade it back in for 2500 less than what I just paid for the vehicle from them and keep in mind it’s been less than 30 days. Fine, I’ll eat that’s on it’s on me. Just purchased 2013 Audi A7 seven day money back ended Monday 7/27/2021. Car was already in shop last week after first inspection to get items fixed that were obvious that Carvana didn’t do. Silverrock covered it. Cool whatever now today 07/31/2021. Have not had the car more than 10 days, drove it less than 100 miles car is in the shop today at Audi. Keep in mind because non of Carvana/Silverrock covered shops know anything about how to fix an Audi.
Check engine light can’t determine why think it’s electrical going to have to keep the vehicle and a oil leaking than they are going to have to get deep into the car to determine where it’s coming from. It’s been less than 10 days less than 100 miles and already issues not minor ones at that and I can tell you all Carvana is going to do is tell you to call Silver rock. Put the vin into their trade value because I know only way to get out of this bucket is to trade it back in after they fix it or I have to. They’re offering 25900 when I just purchased the car less than 10 days ago from them for 29k with 7k down. Do not, I repeat, do not used them. Save yourself the time and headache. I can already tell you the issues I’m going to have to go through to get this resolved.

I have known of Carvana as a company for a while. I did not know anyone who used them or what the experience would be like. Due to the current chip shortage, the sub-compact vehicle I had was worth some value. I decided to trade in for an SUV. Once I found the car I wanted, shopping on the app was very easy. In total, it took me around 40 minutes to complete what was needed. I was out of the delivery area and did travel to pick up my new vehicle. Pick up was very easy and the vehicle has been great!

Carvana was a pain free experience. I used my own bank for financing so I can’t comment on their lenders. However the vehicle was as described, they offered a very fair trade in price for my Highlander. The vehicle I purchased was also a fair price and the delivery guy was outstanding. I will probably be a carvana customer from this point. They even follow up with you during the 7 day money back period to remind you of the days you have left to return your purchase.

I purchased a 2018 GMC Yukon Denali from Carvana and upon delivery (18 July 2021) I identified issue and made the driver (Myles) aware. The driver took photos and indicated he would submit my concerns so Carvana could address. When I didn't hear anything the next day I filled out my concerns on website, took photos, and sent all required information needed. After two more days I received no contact. I finally called on 21 July 2021 and advised a Carvana representative (Camille) about the issued and she sent me a link to forward her the photos of the damage that I identified previously and extended my 7 day grace period an additional 3 days. Camille assured me someone would reach out to me within 24 to 48 hours to establish an appointment with a bodyshop for an estimate. I waited 'til the third day 24 July 2021 and called back because I never received a call from Carvana or SilverRock.
The representative at Carvana I spoke to was Candice **. She reviewed my case and advised that there weren't any notes indicating my concerns submitted by the driver or by representative Camille. Mrs. ** advised that she did see where Camille issued the 3 day extension but nothing else. Mrs. ** documented my concerns and received my photos that I retook. Mrs. ** asked me to give her one hour to speak to a manager and she would call me back. Mrs. **called back as agreed, offered me a credit I believe $150 (I never received it) and transferred me to SilverRock to obtain the nearest body shop. I set up an appointment and went to it on 23 July 2021. The estimate was submitted to SilverRock but they had a 48 to 72 hour policy to return their decision.
I called Carvana back to advise that I would return vehicle because I wouldn't receive an answer before my grace period was up. I worked with representative Zack who was just as helpful as Mrs. Smith and the next day I was given another 3 days. I finally received an approval for the bodywork on 28 July 2021. I have to admit I am very disappointed in Carvana, especially after hearing so many good things from my fellow Airman about them. The only bright spots were dealing with Mrs. ** and Zack. They should be commended on their followup and documenting my case. Otherwise, this company has some severe customer service issues and lack of attention to detail. I want to make another purchase but if I have to go through a two week ordeal again I will not be happy.

Carvana offers a lot of customer support options, and initially I was impressed with how they helped me through the process. Also, they had the car I wanted and the delivery driver was really nice, which shouldn't be overlooked. But everything else has been a total headache. The car arrived dirty and with undeclared cosmetic damage. As a result, I've been sent on a wild goose chase of endless errands. I had to figure out how to get the car cleaned and detailed, and then spend hours on hold trying to figure out how Carvana intends to pay for it.
Additionally, it's now my responsibility to take the car to a body shop for repairs, and I have to go to one of their choosing, which is across town – even though I live literally next door to a body shop. Of course, they'll be keeping my car for a week, which means I also need to arrange for a rental car. Does Carvana help with that? Nope. I have to sort that out myself, and then go through a lengthy reimbursement process that will take months.
None of these things would be a major issue on their own, and would be relatively easy to sort out if I was working with a dealer or any other real live person. Honestly, Carvana could solve all these problems just by being more proactive and handling this stuff for me. Instead, dealing with this fallout from this online purchase has become like a second job. Don't let the novelty of internet car buying fool you. It's more trouble than it's worth.

As we all know, finding cars right now with a microchip shortage is impossible, most dealerships have nothing on their lots, or close to nothing. Used cars are marked up to new car value. After searching at all major dealerships within a 2 hour radius of me, I decided to check out Carvana. We've all seen the commercials, who wouldn't want to have their car delivered to them? Especially with as busy as most of us are, single mom with 4 kids here, I don't have hours to kill looking at cars with 4 hooligans in tow. So I spent the day, looking at Carvana. I found a vehicle that fit exactly what I wanted and worked on applying for financing. I got tied up with a client, and my timer expired, but the website tacked another 10 minutes on for me to go ahead and finish filling out my paperwork. I received a call a few hours later, where they finished verifying I was who I said I was, and then it was just waiting for the car to be delivered.
The day of delivery, I got an email that stated my car wasn't going to arrive that day due to delays and it made me select a different day, which was super disappointing because I had a lunch date lined up with friends to go test drive it, but there are worst things that could happen. And actually, 2 days before it was scheduled to be delivered on the new delivery day, Carvana called and asked if I wanted to have it delivered a day early. Well of course! They were able to change the delivery address as I was at work and didn't have a vehicle to make it to my house that day, and everything went super smooth.
I had it checked out by my mechanic and the only thing we've found wrong with it is the back brakes need replaced, but that's covered under my warranty, so I'm able to get them replaced no problem. If I ever purchase another vehicle, I would definitely do it through Carvana. I tell everyone I talk to that this was the easiest process ever and you didn't have to deal with some annoying salesperson bothering you and pressuring you into purchasing something you don't want.

I purchased a vehicle that I thought would have everything I wanted, only to realize after a few days of driving that it was missing certain features that I decided would be critical to me. I called. Carvana immediately connected with a representative who walked me through the process for returning the vehicle. I told him I was interested in another car, and he was able to quickly get things in order to make sure the vehicles were swapped. Next, both of the representatives that dropped the vehicles off were amazing! Extremely friendly and helpful. The process did not take long at all and I had a new car super fast! Carvana really is changing the way we buy cars! Keep it up!

Your feedback is incredibly valuable as Carvana is always looking to improve the customer experience. We know how excited our customers are to purchase a new vehicle, but when that vehicle is delayed it certainly hinders that experience. This is never our intent as we know how greatly our customers rely on their vehicles to arrive on time for their means of transportation and lifestyle. We are very sorry to have inconvenienced you. Carvana prides itself on providing our customers an exceptional car buying experience coupled with high quality pre-owned vehicles. We know that many customers select to purchase from Carvana because of the convenience, and we want to be sure that convenience is lasting far past the 7-Day Money Back Guarantee, however it seems like we missed the mark with your vehicle while completing our 150-point inspection. All of our vehicles come with a 100 day/4,189 mile warranty for an additional peace of mind, but we are very sorry for the frustration we have caused you. After reviewing your account, we do see you are working with our warranty provider SilverRock to address your concerns.

I was very disappointed with the Carvana service I received after processing. Before that, everyone was so helpful and pleasant and made me feel really good about my decision. It was when the car was supposed to be delivered was when the service started lacking. I received a phone call about an hour and a half before my car was going to delivered to let me know it failed inspection and would need a part. This is the day of! I spoke to them, they offered me $150 for the delay and was told I will have the car delivered by 12pm two days later (a Thursday). My boyfriend and I took leave early from work that day to be home to receive the car. 1pm comes and it still is not delivered so I call, was told it was on its way. Great. 2pm comes, still not there, I get on the chat and was told it was on its way and a representative should reach out to me shortly for the driver's license.
About 230 I get a phone call, it was a carvana rep. but not the one I wanted to hear me. He says, "I'm sorry to tell you this but your car still has not been worked on so it won't be delivered today." This is where we get mad. He said it should be done shortly, the parts will be delivered Friday and he will try to get me more reimbursement. Friday comes and I email him and get told it still isn't done. I hear nothing all weekend. I email on Monday and he tells me they still don't have the parts but they should be delivered today. Tuesday comes and we are told the same thing. So we decide to do our own investigating and call the place that has the parts, they were leaving with them now, we explained everything and he said they didn't even order the parts until Saturday and now knows why they were being rushed.
Carvana calls and sets up a time delivery for 5pm on Wednesday (we weren't going to lose anymore leave). We finally get the car one week and one day later. Car is great minus it not really looking like it was detailed like stated but it has no major flaws minus the brakes which we are getting fixed. After this, I get an email stating they can up my reimbursement to $250. So basically $25 more than what we would have gotten for the $25/day late they give out. What a joke and a slap in the face to our spending $42,000 on a car. Not only did we have to deal with the frustration of miscommunication between the reps and not having a car to drive for almost 2 weeks (we sold his car so we could pay it off before receiving this one a few days before finalizing), but we get only $250 for our wait. So very disappointed. I was thinking this was going to be an easy process, nope. My next car will not be from Carvana.

The car buying process was great, but the car was delivered with major issues which could have blown the motor. The vehicle had no oil on dipstick. Coolant and power steering reservoirs were empty. Basically, the inspection of the vehicle, under the hood, was not done at all. Not happy with that. I was instructed to make an appointment and got it taken care of on the 7th day trial period. I was not able to enjoy the car during that time frame because I didn't want to blow the motor. Thank God, 22 years of military training taught me how to do a proper vehicle inspection.

My wife and I rarely rate experiences online. However, the whole process of trading in and purchasing a car was so smooth and expedient, I have to respond. First, the people are so friendly and helpful it made the whole deal pleasant. Our purchase arrived clean as a whistle. Like a brand new car and, Moses, the delivery rep, was outstanding. Finally, instead of stumbling around a blazing hot car lot and spending 2 or more hours while the sales person does a dance back and forth with his manager, we did everything from our living room. This is the first significant change in the history of car buying since the Model T.

Underwriter used my bonus income for the first car then all a sudden on the second they said they couldn’t so I had to put a extra down payment for a vehicle that was less than the first vehicle. Also on the first vehicle they took out 2k. On the second they said I would need an additional 2500. Which is 4500. Carvana keeps trying to take out 4500 and I’m getting fees in my account. They are only supposed to take the difference out. When I call to get it resolved I am on hold for hours then I get hung up on every single time.

I bought 5 cars from Carvana in May 2021. The buying process was easy enough. Warranty process was very convoluted and took hours/many phone calls to resolve the 3 warranty claims on the vehicles. The big disappointment comes after Carvana has closed the sale - at that point they could care less about you. It's now been 90 days since my first purchase and I haven't received plates or a title for any of my vehicles. I called them today and they spent all day researching what was going on. At 3 pm I got a message that I needed to go to the DMV to pick up the plates for first purchase, even though I'd given the agent all of the information to look up status on all 5 of my purchases. She just ignored that part of my question.
I called back, waited 30 minutes on hold, and new agent had to start the process all over. After 30 minutes on hold of listening to the agent talk about the olympics, the weather, an many other topics other than my registration, I asked for an update on what he was hearing from the registration team. He said nothing, as no one had answered his question. I asked how long it should be - he said he had no clue - and I could be on hold for up to the next 4 hours. I asked to speak with a manager, and I was told that wasn't possible. I would have to wait 24 hrs for that. I told him I couldn't wait that long, but please update me on what he finds out. I was never updated. So I guess tomorrow morning I go to the DMV with all my sales contracts and see what I can get done on my own. The remaining I will be forced to file complaints with my state attorney general (it's illegal in CO not to provide a title within 30 days of purchase) to rectify. I will never buy from Carvana again.

Purchased high $ truck with cash early May. Truck is ok but now almost August now and still no tag or title. After original temp tag expired received a pdf file of Arizona temporary plate to print out and put on the truck (I'm in Georgia). It actually rains here and back window too dark to display. It's in a zip-lock bag on rear bumper - very nice. More than a nuisance this is a major inconvenience. I can't get a toll pass w/o permanent plates so wasted countless hours in past few months sitting in traffic and driving 20 miles out of the way. Probably the worst thing though is absolutely zero proactive communication on when I might actually get this. I do get spam texts from Carvana trying to sell insurance or something so know they've still got my number. Calling the 800 number a is complete waste of a lot of time. When/if you actually get to a person answer is always "it's in process" and maybe some excuses about unnamed circumstances beyond Carvana control.

This is really a 4.5 rating...only because of the "rush". Financing was in place with a credit union; however, Carvana gives very little time to wrap things up.

I began the purchase of my new car from Carvana on July 5 and received my car on July 19. I must say, the experience as a whole was great. As a disabled person, going and spending 7 hours at a dealership is not in the cards for me. I did everything from my computer until the very end of the financing process where I called so my bank funds could be verified and processed. My delivery was a day early, so I didn’t even need to call for updates.
When the car arrived it was actually in better condition than what the photos show. There was a small dent shown on the trunk but when the car arrived it wasn’t there! The only issue when it did arrive was a bulging tire. I called Carvana and they contacted the warranty company to have all four tires replaced. Getting that completed was a bit of an issue but that was with the warranty company, not Carvana. It did get done and the tires are great, though. I took the car in for a pre-purchase inspection during the 7 day trial period and my mechanic stated the condition of the vehicle was “like new,” and needed nothing.
I’m still in the registration process so I cannot comment to that, but if it is anything like the other parts of the process, it should be a snap. I have returned all of my paperwork because I am definitely keeping this car. I should add that I got a very good price on my car as well. It was listed about $4500 under blue book and around $3000 less than comparable ones even on Carvana. I have no idea why but I’m not complaining. It’s my dream car!

One of the worst experiences I’ve ever had with any company. Everything was great until I actually picked up the car, it wasn’t ready when I got there and so we missed out on the experience of the vending machine (small but annoying). When I took the car out white smoke began to puff out less than a mile once I got on the highway. Had to get it towed to mechanic. Turns out there were 2 extra quarts of oil in the car. Luckily I caught it in time and no permanent damage was done to the car. They tried to make me pay for it, but eventually relented. A few days later my tires seemed funny, I thought my alignment was off so I took it back. It. Turns out over all 4 tires I was missing 7 lug nuts. 3 on one tire alone. Needless to say this was extremely dangerous.
I called and talked to a manager at Carvana who told me he would take care of me from now on and make it right. Just to ask for him. Called several times, never spoke with him again. Someone finally offered me $150 as an apology, said it would take around 5 business days. After 2 weeks and no check I call again, they tell me the check is still in approval in accounting but will be out soon. 3 weeks go by no check. I chat with someone online and they tell me literally the check was being mailed that day and should be there in 3-5 days.
3 weeks later, no check. I call again. They tell me the check went out, but if I didn’t get it they’d void it and overnight me another one and email me that night with all the details. 5 days later, no check no email. I get another manager on the phone who admits to me the check never went out. It was processed and approved but was never mailed to me, and they’re overnighting me a check today. That was a couple hours ago. Their manager took full responsibility and claimed responsibility, but I have 0 faith this check is coming. I’d almost think they were doing this on purpose, because I can’t see how a company could be this incompetent and admiringly lie to a customer they’ve already let down multiple times. I wish I could give the car back so I never had to deal with them again. Beware.

My overall experience with Carvana was positive. Finding the right car on the website was easy, the filtering options lets you narrow your search down to type, or specific make and model of car. The pricing was hit or miss, cars that were the same, year, make, and model, with similar miles, and options could be thousands of dollars apart. They need to do some more work on their pricing algorithms. I did find a car that was the right age, mileage, and features in my price range, and decided to buy it. The pictures are very detailed, and show most imperfections. The financing process is also easy, I didn't need to provide income verification, although, I know some people have. I uploaded a copy of my driver's license, and that was it. The interest rate was reasonable. The next steps is where things got confusing.
In Massachusetts, you need to have your insurance completed and active in order to get the registration, and most MA based insurance companies don't like the way Carvana completes the MA registration forms, even their recommend company, Progressive, had issues getting the form completed in a timely manner. The other thing that Carvana can do better with is understanding how MA works for registering a car. I was told multiple times that the car would come with Temp plates, MA does not allow temp plates, so I was very nervous I wouldn't be able to drive the car.
The car did actually come with the permanent plates installed and the registration completed, so that was a relief, but Carvana call center employees are clueless about this. As for the actual car, it came as described except for one ding that wasn't mentioned, I tried repeatedly to contact Carvana to see what they could do about it, and could never actually get through to someone. I did keep the car, because everything else was perfect, but they do need to work on their support after the sale.

Carvana delivered my vehicle on 25 June 2021. On July 2 it officially became mine. They issued me a temporary tag and plate. On 9 July I was emailed and told that their driver who dropped off my vehicle forgot to obtain a title reassignment form from me. They FedExed the form to me, I signed it and then returned it to them via FedEx the same day. Carvana received it on July 13, 2021. I called them on July 13 to make sure that they had received the title reassignment form. After several days of speaking with representatives they finally found it. They told me it would take 30 to 45 days to get my title and registration. On July 19 I called to ask what the status was of my title. I wanted to know if it had been sent from Carvana to the state of Georgia at that point. That began my long journey into completely useless responses time and time again from people working in the post sales department.
They would tell me they contacted people in the registration and titling office but were told they did not know when it would be sent to the state of Georgia. I continued calling and on 19 July 2021 I finally got someone from the Post sales department who told me that it would take 5 to 10 weeks for the state to process and send my title to me after they had sent it to the state but they could not tell me when it would be sent to the state. Still days later no one has been able to tell me when my title application will be sent from Carvana in Atlanta to the state of Georgia DDS office in Atlanta. On all Carvana paperwork it clearly states that titles and registration would be delivered within 30 to 45 days. The excuse given to me by Carvana is Covid. If that was the case they would have reprinted their documentation to provide a more up to date time frame. Which is absolute nonsense.
I have been calling them at least twice a day for a week now trying to get information as to the status of my title. If the representative in the post sales team even returns my call they will tell me that the registration and titling department can’t tell me when the title will be sent to the state. They are absolutely useless. At this point I have absolutely no idea how many months it could be before I receive my title from the state because Carvana is not telling me when it will be sent from them to the state and in my opinion tend to be blaming the state for the 5 to 10 week hold up rather than admitting they are unable to process registration and titling in a timely manner.
Georgia state law says that a dealer must supply you with the car title for the car you purchase from them be delivered within 30 days. So it could be several weeks before Carvana sends the title to the state of Georgia and then according to Carvana another 5 to 10 weeks before the state then send it to me. We’re talking potentially well over 75 days. At all costs stay away from this car dealership for your own sake and peace of mind.

I’m providing my current real-time experience with Carvana for anyone who has doubts. Trust me, your doubts are valid and you should proceed with caution! As background, I was in a car accident and my vehicle was totaled, so I was forced to car ship during the pandemic. I discovered Carvana online, like most people, and I appreciated that I could go through the entire process from the comfort of my home. Plus, with the used car vehicle shortage and pricing inflation of 2021, it was easier for me to shop online.
The actual process of locating and purchasing the vehicle with Carvana was seamless. I wanted a luxury hybrid with under 50k miles, put in my parameters, and Carvana did the rest. When I found the “perfect” vehicle I completed the purchase process online in less than an hour. I scheduled the delivery date for 2 weeks out, because I wanted enough time to ship insurance and schedule a post purchase inspection with the car’s manufacturer (thank God I did). A week before the car arrived I logged into Carvana to review the pictures again. For some reason, the car’s odometer stood out to me. Upon further inspection, I noticed the mileage on the car was over 300 MORE than the mileage on my Carvana contract. This is a very important detail, because if you decide to return the car within Carvana 7-day return window, you get charged for each mile over 400.
I immediately called Carvana and asked them to open a ticket to fix the mileage on the vehicle AND conduct another pricing analysis to ensure I wasn’t getting an unfair price due to the incorrect lower mileage. The representative claimed that they would promptly look into it and call me back in a few hours. They did not! I had to call EVERYDAY that week and each time there was no resolution. My case was finally closed a few days before my scheduled delivery. Carvana updated and sent a new contract for me to sign, but claimed that the pricing was correct for the car even though they misstated the mileage (that should have been my first sign).
Despite this, I decided to proceed with delivery. The delivery date came and I was very excited. The person arrived as scheduled and was actually very nice (shout out Celeste). She told me to test drive the vehicle, which I did, but I wasn’t too concerned because I knew I had a post purchase inspection (PPI) scheduled for the following morning. The next morning, I took the vehicle to the manufacturer’s service department for the PPI. I picked it up about 5 hours later and my mouth DROPPED when they went through the written diagnostics.
The car had over 10 fatal failures, including a timing gasket cover leak, a stripped drain plug, missing lift blocks, dead tire pressure sensors, weak front hood shocks, front suspension failure and NONE OF THE HORNS WORKING! This is in addition to the vehicle failing the tire tread and paint panel analysis, and a bunch of other minor items. Overall, the service department told me it would cost over $30,000 to fix all of these issue, which at that point would be the price of the vehicle. I was flabbergasted! The Carvana “150 Point Inspection,” which I carefully reviewed (and have a copy of) only noted 2 items, the wipers and back tires, which Carvana claimed was fixed. However, I don’t know how anyone can trust this inspection when they didn’t even at a minimum notice that none of the car horns worked. I thank God I didn’t need to use the horns in that 24 hour period.
I’m so glad that I paid $495 to get the PPI because the 150 Point Inspection clearly cannot be relied upon. Moreover, had Carvana actually did its job and reported the car’s failures, I would’ve never purchased this lemon. I immediately called Carvana that night and scheduled for the car to be returned. They confirmed the return (which will occur this Friday). Again, it was relatively easy to schedule the return. It was funny to be, that the representative wasn’t shocked when I described how the car really didn’t pass the inspection. My impression is that they hear that a lot.
The next day I received an email from Carvana confirming the return. I also received an email from Carvana that another hybrid I was interested in just be she available. Not willing to completely discount Carvana (and still needing a car), I called up Carvana to see if they could turn the return to an exchange for vehicle #2. The representative was very nice and worked to make the exchange occur. This was important because they would just apply my down payment they just took from me for vehicle #1 to vehicle #2. It also meant I wouldn’t have to get my credit ran again.
The purchase of vehicle #2 went relatively easy and the car is scheduled to arrive in August. Of course I’ve given myself 2 weeks so I can get insurance for vehicle #2 and schedule a PPI for vehicle #2. So, where I’m at now is a Lemon vehicle #1 that will be returned to Carvana tomorrow, out $495 for the PPI that I hope Carvana will reimburse ASAP due to their clear negligent inspection that could have put me in danger, and a vehicle #2 arriving next month. Once the PPI has been conducted for vehicle #2, I will update my review to let you know if vehicle #1 was a fluke incident or if Carvana is a sham selling dangerous vehicles. I’m hoping it was an isolated incident, but we will soon find out. That’s all! The moral of the story, check the odometer versus the contract and ALWAYS get a PPI. I hope this review helps someone.

We bought 2 vehicles within one week! Great warranty company. Great advocate. Only problem is once you hit corporate things unfold a bit. Too many different people involved. Should let customers stick with their advisors. In addition, just for example if you bought a Cadillac as we did they should use them as their specific vendor. Other than that AWESOME! Highly recommend.

We were very excited to find a hybrid at a reasonable price on Carvana. The online buying process was easy at first. However, linking an account for a down payment allowed us to link to an account that was “unusable” (there was enough in the account, this was a system error according to them). After 2-3 back and forth calls with many minutes-to-hour long holds and transfers, the issue was said to be resolved. Cut to the day before expected delivery, we called because after double checking the paperwork, the terms were still incorrect and had not been updated. After another 1 hr+ long call, it was said that it would be resolved by delivery the next day.
The day of: an hour before expected delivery, we receive a call that was missed due to work. Attempted to call back a half hour later and was on hold/transferred again twice before being told that there was a “problem with the state’s title” and the car is unavailable. There was no way to resolve the issue and we have wasted a month of time and insurance money on a car that should not have been sold to us in the first place. At no time was there any communication of these errors. In fact, we received updates such as “your car is in the way!”
I can not stress how difficult and frustrating this process was. I do not recommend Carvana due to the lack of communication, diligence, and professionalism. At no time did anyone actually call back as promised (it was always someone else transferring us to different people) or fully explain the problem in detail. I still have no idea what the title issue was and neither did anyone calling me.

This was the worst experience that I have ever had working with a Car lot. I traded my 2018 Malibu Chevy and I ended up getting the Rogue. I didn’t like it so on my seventh day I ended up trying to get another car. 1 next car after that motor was blown. 2 car was wrecked. 3 car was electric. 4 car The motor was tapping. 5 car had a bad leak. So I decided to keep this car and I just fixed it all.
These times I’ve been trying to get a supervisor or manager to call back. No one returned my call. Then they were giving me compensation for all the problems I went through. Never receive the money or my deposit back. I put a deposit down as of 800 and they were supposed to send me the rest of it back. What was 500 and then the compensation money at 350 I never received none of this money. All of the representative I talk to were very nice. They was trying to find a solution And every time they requested for me to receive my money they shot it down.
I will never come back to Carvana again. This was the worst experience that I have ever had and then on top of that I am set on a limit income. They reserve for me a car. Told me I didn’t have to put no money down that they will cover $40 a day and 400 For a rental car. Never received my rental car because several rep kept giving me the runaround. This is my feedback from my experience is dealing with Carvana.

If I was able to give negative stars, I would give a negative 5 stars! I Ordered a Truck that was advertised with a 6 1/2ft truck bed. When the truck arrived it was 5 1/2ft truck bed. I no longer had any mode of transportation (because I was getting a new truck from Carvana), so I had to accept the truck, and looked to figure out what do. I then contacted Carvana about the misrepresentation, and they said I could return the truck, swap it out, or they would offer me $500.00 compensation for their mistake. Since I had no other mode of transportation, I worked to swap it out for a another truck with a 6 1/2ft truck bed. This ended up now costing me an additional $9,000 to get a truck with a 6 1/2ft truck bed. This was a cash transaction, so I felt like the swap would be fairly easy and quick. I was wrong!
Carvana proceeded to debit my account for the $9,000.00 on a Monday, for a delivery on Wednesday. However, I received a call on Tuesday that the delivery would have to be pushed to Thursday because they had not received funds. Thursday arrived, and they notified me 3-hours before the truck was to be delivered that they had not received funds from my bank so delivery would have to be pushed to Friday. I contacted my bank to find out what the hold up was, and the bank informed me that they released the funds to Carvana on Monday? So now I still do not have the truck I paid for, Carvana has had the money for the truck since Monday, but still no delivery. I am still unsure if the truck will be delivered on Friday as they have now claimed.
Also, when I call Carvana I am continuously giving the run around about the transaction. Meanwhile I have to drive the original misrepresented truck that they first delivered. This has a tremendous amount of risk because if something were to happen to the truck, before they deliver the next truck, I am held liable. I will never purchase another vehicle from Carvana, and I hope this review helps someone from getting tangled up with this terrible company. Do not get caught up in the same nightmare I am dealing with.

It's been a nightmare from the beginning. First car had recurring problems (check engine light) beginning on the day of delivery, which may have been related to an issue that delayed the initial delivery of the car but no one was able to determine what the underlying issue was and what may or may not have been done to remedy - I was reassured the problem was solved. Offered to return the car so they could fix it and re-buy when it was in proper shape... told that's not how it works. Option was to take the car to a shop for 100-day warranty work and be without the car for an unknown length of time and still unable to get information if the CEL was related to the initial code that was thrown prior to delivery. Option 2 was to return the vehicle for another car, which I did but this was bungled when they treated Car #2 as a new purchase. This resulted in hassles, more phone calls and delays.
I eventually cancelled the swap after finding a car locally and returned Car #1. However, because the swap had been initiated, Carvana needed to "rebuild" the original contract before they could issue my refund. Ridiculously, they stated that this was a lengthy process but given my difficulties, they would expedite and complete the contract rebuild in 15 business days. It's now over three weeks later and still waiting for my money ($23K) to be refunded. Speaking to service advocates now who are telling me that the process generally takes 10-15 business days (so much for expedited service). Lots of apologies and promises - little action. All my calls have been handled by different people and the one reportedly senior advocate who gave his direct email and reassured me that he would handle my concerns has not responded the emails that I've sent. I'm thinking it's time for attorneys to talk.

Saw all the positive reviews on Carvana's website and ignorantly didn't check Consumer Affairs or BBB. I thought, "Wow 5 Stars. This looks great. Let's give it a shot." Bought and traded in a car. The vehicle was supposed to arrive in 7 days. The day before arrival, we got a phone call that there was a "transportation issue" and it wouldn't be coming. It was scheduled for a week later. Two days before that arrival date, now it's, "There's a problem with the car and we need to fix it before we can deliver it." After hours of phone calls, we find out it's a parking sensor that's on backorder and they're waiting on it plus they need to do "some body work to fix scratches on the car."
About a week after that we were again scheduled to get the car. The day before, we get an email that says, "You can pick up the car a day early if you come to our facility." Of course this was upsetting as they were supposed to deliver it to us but at this point we've been burned twice so we think the only way we're getting this car is to go there and pick it up. So we did. When we went to pick the car up, we did the inspection. The body shop had literally painted 2 of the tires red. Like, they were spraying the car and didn't tape off the wheel wells and just sprayed right over the tires. Not like a little piece of the tire: 12” of the sidewall. And somehow no one noticed at Carvana, the company that told us (and you in their commercials) all of their cars go through rigorous inspections.
The driver's door popped when you opened and closed it like the hinge was falling off. The body shop also sprayed the front bumper and hood. They didn't tape the undercarriage off so they over sprayed all over the plastic pieces under the car. And worse yet, the paint was already peeling off the bumper like they didn't prep it before they painted so it wasn't sticking to the body of the car. The hood was rippled because they sprayed over (2) 4" long rust spots. All I could do was shake my head. We pointed all this out to the representative who was very apologetic and said he thought it would be covered under the warranty. So against our better judgment we accepted the car. He said someone would contact us within 48 hours to schedule the repairs. Two days later, no one has called.
We call the insurance company they go through. They said Carvana never submitted anything for our car. So now we have to submit it which we do. The next day, the key no longer works on the car. It's a keyless entry and ignition so anytime we have to get in the car, we have to set the alarm off, open the door, and quickly press the fob against the ignition and start it to get the alarm to stop going off. LITERALLY, every time we want to get in the car. We submit a claim for that issue to the insurance. Go to the gas station, the fuel door won't open. I had to pry it open with a credit card. Submit that issue to insurance. More hours wasted on the phone with Carvana. We had a trip planned. They say go on the trip and we'll extend your 7 days test period a couple days while insurance works everything out. We do, again, setting the alarm off every time we want to use our car.
A week has passed and the insurance company has not approved any of the work to be done except for fixing the door hinge. While we were driving on our trip, I realized the car was shaking a lot under moderate to heavy braking (meaning the brake rotors are bad). Didn't even bother with insurance this time. Called Carvana and said come pick this piece of junk up. They came the first scheduled time on the return (which was nice) and delivered my trade in car back to us on a rollback. Because they needed approved to accept their car back (because of the extra test drive days and miles) we talked to the delivery driver for a bit.
He was actually at our house for 2 hours. He said this happens all the time because of issues that aren't reported during the purchase. So what I'm hearing is basically, they don't inspect the cars at all and just hope that there's nothing wrong with them. Sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't. How can that possibly be your business model? So on to my trade in. He's pulls the car off the rollback. It looks like it's been driven through the desert. The wheels are light tan and the sides are caked in dust. I'm assuming what happened is it was parked in a dirt lot and when other cars drive by, it kicks up dust on the other cars. Regardless of what happened, it's completely unacceptable. We complained. The rep said they would give us a $100 credit to go get it cleaned. "Just send us a copy of the receipt and we'll send you a check." We submitted it 3 weeks ago and still no refund. I have to assume we're not getting that money back.
Lastly, the car was delivered back without the title (we own the car free and clear). The delivery driver said no one told him it needed to be sent with the title. Customer service said, "Oh, it already got sent to headquarters so they'll send it back to you." I got it back 2 weeks later just to find out it was void because they had already wrote on it. So now I need to go to DMV and apply for a new copy of the title which will cost me more money. This was absolutely the worst experience we could have had. I really don't know what worse could have happened. I will NEVER EVER recommend Carvana to anyway and I make it a point when people bring Carvana up to tell them our nightmare of a story so they know what they're getting themselves into. Please do yourself a favor and avoid this company at all costs.

TL; DR; Here's the problem with Carvana's customer "care:" there's no continuity. One agent will say and promise one thing, and the next has no record of it! They need to provide customers with the means to get in contact with the specific agent who is working their case (not just a general helpline), and they need to provide those customers with records of what was discussed and what was promised! I've learned that you can't trust what one agent tells you.
We decided the end of May that we wanted to buy a car a new Jetta and that we wanted to trade-in our current car for it. We shopped around locally, but thought that Carvana offered the best trade-in value, so beginning of June we place the order online and were happy to wait the weeks for our delivery on the 25th. A day or two later, we got the loan through our bank and signed and provided all the paperwork that they needed--after that we've had to re-sign those documents an annoying amount times. Before our delivery, we had to take our trade-in on a road trip. Carvana didn't provide any information after we had it appraised as to how far we could drive it. But when we got back, I got to worrying that the miles we put on the car would void our contract, so I called, first thing, the day before our delivery (and after we had just got back) to explain the situation and to be the good guy by being up-front.
As it turned out, we had exceeded their un-written policy of 1,000 miles. I offered to bring cash to the delivery the next day to make up the difference, but they wouldn't accept that. The contract had to be rolled back, and I'd have to re-issue the check for the vehicle. Annoying, but my bad for putting extra miles on the car. The agent on the phone promised me a new trade-in value of ~$100 less than our original offer. Great, I thought. But he was unable to get the system to accept the new appraisal value. He said he was going to mess with that and call me right back.
I waited hours and heard nothing. So I called back, still thinking the car ought to be delivered the next day, after all the car should be in transit ready for arrival and a hiccup in the paperwork shouldn't make a difference. This time, and every time after, I spoke to a different agent. He said there was a technical support ticket out for the new appraisal value (you'd think this would be a scenario they'd design for and be able to handle, but ok). He reassured they'd call me soon, that it was almost done. I asked when the car could be delivered, fearing this would cause a delay. He said the soonest they could deliver would be July 2nd. That was disappointing to hear, but I agreed and he told me that day was scheduled.
We continued to wait for the phone call, but it didn't come. Meanwhile, their app says that my purchase is still "in progress" with the timer ticking. Once the timer runs out--and ours would have by the next morning--they release the car to the public platform to be purchased by anyone else. Obviously, I can't let someone else purchase my car: the car I have a loan on! So I call again at the end of the day.
This time I'm on the holding line for more than an hour and a half. Finally I get through to some guy, frustrated at this point. To keep that short, he says three things: There is no record of the July 2nd date, he has to now schedule me for the 9th, and he can't get me the earlier, verbally confirmed trade-in amount. He has to chop that by another $100+. Unbelievably! I ask: "Why is it going to take an additional two weeks, when you should have been on schedule to deliver the vehicle tomorrow?" Turns out, they had a system fluke and the vehicle never left the lot! It wasn't even in transit! (And they forget this when I call in later, because the contracts were rolled back!) Finally, we end the call having locked the contract down. I guess this is how they reward me for trying to be an honest guy. We get them the documents they ask for, and we proceed to wait for the the 9th, only to find more delays.
They call the day before: truck broke down, coming a day late. Day of, they call again: car didn't pass emissions. The fix? They have to put miles on our car. We wait the weekend. They call again. Car failed emissions again. "We need to drive it more." Incredible! Finally, they delivered the car--with an extra 150+ miles on it. Oh, but the vehicle registration is now delayed. And to top, my bank is going to hit me with fees because they don't yet have the title as collateral on the loan I took out more than a month before! Ridiculous! Carvana did promise to send me some money for my troubles, but haven't received that yet. Of course, one agent I talked to promised me $400, but the next one I talked to had no record of that and could only offer half that! I wouldn't be surprised if they send me nothing at all.

Although my first initial delivery day for my car was delayed, I am happy with the result of my car. Elizabeth did an amazing job delivering the car and provided me with all my information. Overall Carvana’s customer service team answered every question and helped me when needed.

Buying a 2017 Toyota Corolla was an easy experience on Carvana. Just point and click. What I was less happy about was the delivery. It was delayed once and I was fine with that. Then I was told the car was damaged during transit. Upon delivery, I was very unhappy about the damage and was told it would be repaired by a third party. I didn't want to deal with a third party. Plus there was additional damage that did not show up in the photographs. The delivery guy (who was very nice) told me: "Well, it's a used car." I refused delivery and they took the car back. I'm glad Carvana has that policy. I ended up buying a used 2020 Toyota Corolla with 12,000 miles for a $1,000 more than Carvana from my local Toyota dealership.

We attempted using Carvana twice. First attempt was a purchase for my daughter (military). No trade in and no financing needed. She had financing elsewhere. She was at Tech School and needed a car before reporting to first duty station. The entire process was wonderful! Picked a car, linked the financial information and choose a delivery date of when she would be home before needing it to drive to her duty station.
The day the car was to be delivered, we received a call that it would be postponed until the next day. Not a big deal as she was going to be home. Received another call the next day that the car would not be able to be delivered until the end of the week. Again, not a big deal. Received yet another call that it was going to be delayed longer than expected and now it was going to be after she had to report to her duty station in another state. She needed the car to drive there. We canceled the transaction as we were told that there was nothing that could be done and bought a car locally.
Since everything except the delivery aspect was great, we tried Carvana again for myself. We did have a trade in and we had financing through another lender. Again, everything was seamless. Quote for my vehicle to trade in, picking the exact one that I wanted, linking the financial information between my bank and Carvana, etc. It all was done online and was easy.
The day before the date I chose for my delivery, I received a call that it was going to be postponed. Since we had the experience with my daughter and read other reviews about this issue, we half expected this. For us, it was not that big of an inconvenience as I still had my vehicle to drive. They gave me a new date and time for the delivery. I did not like the time, so I changed it but kept the same day. About three hours before delivery, I did get a text from the driver that he would be late. He was able to give me a closer time of arrival. The transaction did happen with just the one delay. The delivery is the only reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5.

I sold my car to them, and after 3 months, I'm still having my payments taken out because Carvana has NOT sent them all the paper work. This month is was no odometer statement. I have spent literally hours on hold trying to get this, and the registration to my new car. It caused me to have no 100 warranty due to moving and their dragging their feet. I will NEVER use them again.

We've purchased 2 cars from Carvana. Easy to look at cars, buy cars. Both purchases smooth...delivery smooth. BOTH TIMES they sent a new registration when we told them they were to transfer existing plates. They just don't care about follow-up service. Promised calls back never come. There is no email contact. Their chat box is automated and useless. As I write this, I am on hold for the third time at 45+ minutes as they try to get "an answer". I would probably buy a car online again...just not from Carvana.

I purchased a car from Carvana and had them use my existing car as a trade in. During the 7 day window, I called to see what the process of swapping vehicles entailed. The agent immediately cancelled my previous contract. He said it would take a little time to reconstruct the contracts in order to finalize the deal. Here we are three month later and I still don't have the revised paperwork. In the meantime, I am making payments on the old and the new car. The bank for the new loan is angry that they don't have proof of the lien on the vehicle. The bank for the old loan is angry that I am no longer carrying car insurance. Every time I speak with someone at Carvana (which is often), they tell me that the process is almost complete. Then yesterday I get a message from Carvana: "Urgent! You are at risk of no longer being legally allowed to drive your vehicle." I am not convinced that anyone really know what is going on over there.

My order was continuously delayed due to Carvana’s team inability to communicate with each other, then they ran my credit for a second hard pull which I didn’t authorize, and delivered my car where the license plate couldn’t be attached and their insurance provider silver rock couldn’t suggest a provider in their network to correct the issue. Overall after three months of trying to purchase a vehicle from Carvana I should have canceled.

Carvana was definitely not a simple and easy experience. I would have much rather gone to a car dealership in person as this was an unpleasant and stressful experience. Carvana required me to have future proof of insurance on a car that was not in my possession (and wouldn't be for 4 weeks!) before they would finalize my car order. My insurance company(Progressive, who is their AFFILIATE) wouldn't issue a future policy ID card. So I had to go out of my way, spend more $, and get a policy with a different company, Geico so they would sell me the car.
I had to pay $490 to have the car shipped to me. The car was delayed, even though I was assured by numerous customer service employees that my car was on its way and would be delivered in time the day before. I got a text the morning of pick up saying it was delayed. Never received any compensation for it being delayed. I also had to call up Geico and move my policy date several times which was frustrating, as I'm not paying for insurance on a car I don't even have yet.
There was damage to the vehicle that wasn't listed anywhere on their website. Only one small scuff mark was mentioned on their website on the trunk area. There was damage to a rim, damage the size of two quarters on the back right quarter panel as well, and the front bumper was badly scraped underneath/around the edges. Overall, I'll never buy from Carvana again. I'll take my $ to a real dealership where I can see the car and drive it off the lot that day.
