Saturday morning, I finally found the exact vehicle I was looking for and put a preorder on it as photos and details were not posted yet. Tuesday, I received notification from email that I canceled my preorder. I click on Carvana to see who and why my preorder was cancelled. It shows vehicle is no longer available. I instantly go to the texts message where they had confirmed my preorder and asked why was my preorder cancelled. I get texted back that only I can cancel my preorder and that they can't on their end. This obviously a lie because I did no such thing. I have waited 4 days for photos of vehicle to be posted. Then they had the nerve to ask if they can help me find another vehicle. Another bait them with a can't be real vehicle and then try to sell them another one. NO WAY, you have lost my sale and we pay in full with cash when we purchase vehicles.

Get a car from Carmax, not Carvana. Both cars came with dangerous tire set, nasty exterior cosmetic issues, alignment issues, worn out brakes. Carmax fixed everything! Carvana fixed nothing, even wasted a week of my time sending me through a warranty process that was useless. I sent multiple emails to various Carvana Executives. They never answered. Customer service and 132 point inspection were jokes. Only the joke was on me. I had to wrestle some with Carmax, but eventually they fixed everything from replacing dangerous tires, electrical issues, cosmetic issues, etc. All without the extra warranty. Still have Carmax car 5 years later. Sent Carvana car back with a sigh of relief. Be warned.

Scheduled an appointment for Saturday and signed the contract as soon as I got it. Right after signing they confirmed my appointment for Monday instead without any clear communication that they can’t make the appointment. Now I can’t reach anyone there as besides the useless bot. Need to go through all the hassle of rescheduling my insurance cancelation and have to deal with this on top of my move abroad. Horrible service.

If a client has problems of any kind with Carvana their customer service is the worst service I ever received. Carvana just don’t care after purchase is done. I cannot believe why they still in business or the government hasn't shut down this company. Just bad.

Carvana has changed. I have never experienced a company who has worked so hard to not make a sale. I have a car with them and was trying to get another one through them. I have been late last year in September but have been on/before time ever since. They’re telling me now I have to wait until April 13th. Like if you’re going to approve me in 12 days, what is the difference approving me today? Like they literally take out the money and tell you that you can’t get the car and have to wait for the 13th and on top of that have to wait 10 days for your money back. Like why take the money out if you’re not getting the car??? Like that is ridiculous. Then have you talk to different reps that tell you different things.
A rep was like “we have to wait until the 13th to make sure you won’t be late again”. How crazy is that if my payment isn’t due until the end of the month and I already paid up all 6 months. Then a rep was telling me I can call every 72 hrs for them to hold the car. Like first why would I waste my time to do that. 2nd a different rep said they don’t do that. The customer service has been beyond terrible!

The inventory offered many choices and it was easy to buy the car. Delivery was delayed but was great when it happened. The car is very nice. Everything advertised. But the registration is late, my temporary tag expires today. And no real help is forthcoming from them. They refer me to the dashboard that shows only that registration is complete. I now have to wait with an unregistered car.

I thought that this would be a better more seamless process than going to a dealer and I was wrong. I placed my order on a Wednesday. Shipping fee and down payment came out of my account and were posted by Friday. Monday rolls around and I’m being told that even though the money is out my account Carvana does not have the funds and my order is at risk of being cancelled. Carvana has plaid set up and can see for themselves that down payment got taken out. This has been the absolute worst experience. I should have went and spent 5 hours in a dealership I would have walked out with my car and nobody trying to lie about funds coming out when it’s been out my account for 3 days.

1 star because I can't give 0. We went through all of the steps to purchase a vehicle for our son with 50% down and 50% self-assured financing through our credit union. The day of delivery, during the window for delivery, we received a call that the vehicle would not pass state inspection. We were presented with 3 options; 1. wait for the necessary repairs to be made, hope it passed inspection and have the vehicle delivered, no ETA, 2. Find another vehicle or 3. Get a refund.
The refund process was a joke. Even though the funds had cleared my bank, they were, "not available to be released back to me at this time." I was told the process takes 5-14 business days, making those funds unavailable to me to use as a down payment anywhere else. I was assured they had high vehicle standards, and that they would rather have an upset customer than deliver a bad car. Naturally, I inquired as to why they were even selling a vehicle that would not pass inspection if they had such high standards. I received no legitimate answer. So we began looking for comparable vehicles. While we did find several, all of them had an additional shipping fee that Carvana would not waive or discount. Ultimately, they did nothing to rectify the situation aside from ask for more money from the consumer so that they could "try" to make it right.

The purchase process was easy. Unfortunately, I didn't like the vehicle and returned it. The vehicle was returned 3 weeks ago, Carvana said they issued a credit back to my bank, it's been 2 weeks and still no funds in my account. I filed a complaint, they said the refund was processed but unsuccessful, so they will issue a check instead. I was informed that it will take another 3-4 weeks for processing and shipping of the check. Very frustrating, it literally took Carvana 1 day to withdrew the funds, now it will take over a month to get it back. Don't buy from them!

I was going to purchase a Kia Soul from them this month and canceled because it was an electric engine. They charged me $300 for a delivery fee. They advertise 7days full refund but that is a lie. They refuse to give me my money back and said that I was given instructions on how to cancel even though the option to cancel was nowhere to be found on my dashboard. Bottom line, be very careful when making a purchase with them. They have a huge class act against them for not providing vehicle titles to customers. They have many predatory practices.

Bought a truck from Carvana about 5 years ago and went smoothly so thought I would try again and this time has been a nightmare. 2021 tacoma with 30k miles and no issues reported. I get the truck and the undercarriage and motor are covered in rust. inside reeks of smoke, and the rear right door was broken. They wanted to pawn me off on the warranty company to address the rust and broken door. I tried to swap the truck and they made me drive an hour in to get the new one. I show up and the truck that clearly said 4x4 online was not a 4x4.. So I rejected the swap and asked to cancel it. They couldn't give me a ride home so I had to take a truck back.
They told me returning would take 5-10 days. About a week passes and I hear nothing so I reach out and I'm told I was supposed to drop it off the next day. So to cancel it they made me drive an hour back up to drop it off. I paid for the truck in full and still haven't received my refund. They have not offered to do anything to make up for the inconvenience and despite the truck not even matching what was posted online they aren't returning the shipping fee... Worse experience I've had...

I had the most unpleasant experience ever with this company and I absolutely cannot recommend it. They were quick to take my money without ensuring they had everything they needed in the first place. On top of that, every person I spoke to gave me completely different information. I followed the instructions given by one person, only to be told by someone else that it was wrong. To make matters worse, I started the purchase of a car and they took $2200 out of my account instantly. Then, I received a phone call stating that I needed to remove a lock on my credit report. Instead of putting my order on hold, the person cancelled it, causing me to lose the car. However, they still had my money and told me that it would take 5 days to process and another 10 days to return the money.
I then found another car, but encountered the same old issues. They took an additional $700 out of my account, yet one person was telling me one thing and another person was saying something completely different. So now, they have $2900 of my money that I cannot use to purchase a car from somewhere else, and they expect me to wait for a month to get it back. I am absolutely livid about this whole situation.

I purchased a 2015 Chrysler 200C from Carvana on 2/29/2024. When I received the car there was a smell of burning coolant and shipped with bald tires (even though it was supposed to be replaced by them prior to shipping) so I had it inspected by one of Carvana's insurance company SilverRock's authorized service centers. A mechanic ruled that when Carvana changed the coolant they spilt some on the engine and they cleaned it up for free. Not even 3 weeks after, a check engine light comes on with code P0302 for a Cylinder 2 Misfire. The authorized service center noted that the Spark Plugs and Ignition Coils were bad.
Carvana refuses to replace the spark plugs and pay for the labor even though their 150 point inspection claims they looked at the engine and replaced replaceable parts. Spark Plugs typically have a life of 30,000 - 100,000 miles and the car was only driven for 2,000 - 3,000 miles and shouldn't have failed. Carvana refuses to replace or take responsibility for any issues after many calls from SilverRock and Carvana and no resolution can be reached.

I have bought two vehicles from Carvana this year and sold them one of the vehicles I was leasing from another company. When I bought my first vehicle at Carvana (2015 Toyota Corolla), the agent of representatives (Registration Department) would ask for documents (proof of insurance, ID etc...) and every time I'd send to them, I would receive either a text or email from them saying they haven't received anything and if I didn't send them by the deadline (next day at 11 am), I would lose the vehicle to another buyer. I would email them and then call them. They'd tell me they haven't received anything. I'd proceed by sending them everything they asked while I was on the phone with them until they confirmed they received everything. That was a bad experience, but I thought it was an isolated incident.
The second vehicle I bought from them, was a Mercedes I found on their website and really liked. I also had one of vehicle that I wanted to trade it (a lease) so I end up with two vehicles (Toyota Corolla and Mercedes Benz). Everything seemed okay at first. I sent them the lease payoff of my Camry and hopped on a call to confirm they got all my info. The agent I spoke with told me they have everything they needed for my trade and I was all set (ID, Dashboard picture with mileage, Lease Payoff copy etc...). Since I was aware of Carvana's lack of awareness, I made sure they also had all my auto insurance info and put them in touch with my auto insurance company.
Fast forward, I was at work and one of Carvana's agent called me to let me know that they won't deliver the Mercedes I bought because they trade wouldn't work anymore. I asked them why and they told me to call the sales department. I figured that was the registration department that called me. I called sales and they told me Carvana doesn't accept lease trade-in, and said the only thing I can go is sell them the car. I laughed at how ridiculous that sounded then asked them what I needed to do to keep my delivery date.
They told me I should purchase the Mercedes separately and sell them the Toyota separately as well. At tha moment I was upset because since I couldn't use my trade, that meant my financing numbers for the Mercedes would change as a result. Monthly payment went up by $50 which isn't bad but the fact that they pretended they were not okay with using my lease as a trade although I sent my info on their website and communicated with an agent to ensure things were okay.
I proceed by buying the Mercedes and went through another infernal cycle of them saying they didn't get the auto insurance info etc... I literally had to step out of the office, stayed inside my car and went through everything with them over the phone. When I was about to end the call, I expressed to the agent how I was disappointed and upset at Carvana's poor UIUX and customer service. He apologized on behalf of the company and told me they will continue to improve so things like what I experienced wouldn't become a pattern. Before ending the call, I also asked the gentleman if he had all my lease info so I could sell them my vehicle. He told me "Yeah". I checked, double-checked and triple-checked and he audibly started to sound a bit annoyed so I assumed things would go well and I shall wait on them to send someone over to conclude the sale of my vehicle.
They never sent anyone and later this afternoon I got an email saying that their original offer of 21166 expired and they could buy the vehicle from me at 20600. At that moment I realized that Carvana is a scamming company. They wait for their customers (buyers or sellers) to be so far into the process and drop the ball on them to try to either increase payments (in the case of a buyer) or lower their offers (in the case of a seller) in order to deceive them. I had such had hopes for them but after this experience (3rd trial with them), I decided to write this review and will make sure I share it on all platform so that I can get their attention and prompt them to improve on their service.

I am a two time customer of Carvana. Purchased two BMWs: an I3 and a 530i. Neither of those transactions were smooth, but I gave them the benefit of the doubt. So I decided to purchase a third vehicle through them. This time, they treated me like utter garbage. Put me through the ringer on income verification. I am Self Employed, with more than enough money to buy the vehicle outright, but I was buying this one for my business and could use the write-off. I'm sorry, their customer service agents are just not intelligent people. They just read from a script. Rude and unhelpful. Pros: Yes they will approve just about anyone. Cons: READ the fine print regarding the warranty. That SilverRock company will run you around to every Pep Boys and AAMCO they can before they will let you take a car to the dealer.
Carvana will wipe their hands of you once they have the deal done. They will tell you in all cases you have to deal with SilverRock. Carvana hides allot of things...especially cracks in windshields. If you buy from them, make sure you examine your windshield. If it is cracked and you don't report it to the delivery driver, you are stuck paying for it yourself. This is your typical USed Car Dealer...Nothing more.

I ordered 2 cars from Carvana. Both came in with significant issues and could not be driven off the lot. The second car had a fault that was cleared using an OBD tool. Had I not checked with my own OBD, I wouldn't have known and had some very high repair bills. I believe this constitutes fraud. Do not buy a car from this company. Problems are covered up, support is terrible, and once you drive it off the lot you could be in for some very expensive repair bills.

MULTIPLE Issues with Loan Approval and Refund Process.1. Despite providing bank records and tax documentation to verify our income, CARVANA rejected our application. This is surprising considering I have been successfully self-employed for over a decade and have used my income documentation to purchase two vehicles in the past without a co-signer. One of which was brand new. 2. Not only did they take our shipping fee and down payment, but they have now failed to refund our down payment after rejecting our income documentation. It has now been 12 days since the initial transaction, and after speaking to a customer service representative named Tyler, we were informed that the refund process was never initiated. Tyler mentioned that it would take an additional 10 days before we receive our refund, which is unacceptable. This entire situation is outrageous and has caused us unnecessary stress and inconvenience. We expect prompt resolution of this issue from CARVANA.

So the buying experience was very easy. We picked out a vehicle and they delivered it to us. What wasn't a good experience was the fact we asked to transfer a tag we currently had on the exact vehicle we traded in for the new vehicle. We were told we could do that but they ended up sending us a new tag which we had to pay for when we already had a tag. Then two months later we receive a letter from the DMV saying my husband is getting his license suspended due to not having insurance on the car we TRADED to Carvana two months ago! The DMV has no record of the car being sold to them so.. again, now we have to take off work to go to the DMV and straighten that out. NOT an overall good experience due to these issues.

I had bought a 2022 Tahoe for 54,000 on 2/2124. They pulled the money out of my account immediately, plus shipping fee. On 2/23 I was notified that the car was no longer available (it was a partner vehicle, so it's listed in multiple places). They then said they would not refund the shipping fee and only the down payment. I insisted on a full refund and a supervisor, and still have yet to have a supervisor reach out. I have had numerous text messages with the company and phone conversations and it is 3/6/24 and I still do not have my $20k back. I was told 3-5 business days. It's been way past that.

We cancelled because they told us one monthly payment, then they sent a contract with almost $100 more in monthly payments without even notice. We did not sign the contract, cancelled within 24 hours of them taking the down payment and shipping fee. We called after we cancelled to get our refund and we were told we would have the down payment and the shipping fee refunded since the car was NEVER shipped. Money was to be in our acct. today. It’s not. Called again and now we are being told they are keeping the shipping fee—-even though it was never shipped and still no down payment refund.
We were told we’d get the full $3900 which included the shipping and today, some small minded individual told us no, we were not getting the shipping fee. We asked to talk to his supervisor, he denied it, more than once. What the heck, how can he deny us wanting to talk to his supervisor? They have no right to keep money for shipping a truck that was never shipped. That is theft. DO NOT buy from them, they are crooks and now if this is settled quickly, I will have to contact a lawyer. These people are no good.

I recently purchased my first vehicle on Carvana and have had 2 poor experiences. First they advertised the mileage as 1700 but it turned out it had 7500 miles. After much pressure and many calls I was able to get $500 back, it wasn't fair for the mileage, but I took it after seeing they weren't going to provide fair value. Recently I drove my wife's car an noticed it has a small service engine light on but it was small and in a cluster of other lights, very unusual versus other vehicles. I took it to an auto parts store to read it and it turns out it was an O2 sensor message. I realized that wasn't urgent but I eventually took it to the Ford dealer who said my catalytic converters were missing and straight pipe had been installed in their place. Ford said the repair would be $2,200.
I found the inspection report that Carvana supplied and if showed that the Catalytic converter passed, which of course is impossible. I contacted Carvana to make this right as they misrepresented the vehicle, not saying its their fault, but whomever they used for the inspection defrauded them. Their stance was that wasn't their fault and they refused to do anything and were less than sympathetic. I asked for a supervisor and they wouldn't connect me and said they would tell me the same thing. I have never had such unprofessional customer support and will definitely not be doing business with them again and will tell everyone I can about their lack of concern.

Found the car on Carvana I thought was a fair deal. Went through the purchase process. The car was from a 3rd party affiliate. They had to verify the car was still available which they did, and I paid for it and had a pickup date set. On the day of pickup, I received two e-mails. The first said the pickup date was pushed back two weeks. The second e-mail canceled the purchase altogether. I was told a Carvana representative would give me a call within 24 hours to go over my options. I was never called. After 2 days of waiting I called them to inquire about getting my money back. I was told it could take up to a week to get my money back. Today is 2/19/24. They have had my money since 2/9/24. I don't know why they wouldn't immediately wire the funds back to my account. I'm stuck without a car and without a way to purchase a car until I get my money back. Feels like theft at this point.

I purchased a 2012 Corvette, and had it delivered to my residence on a Saturday. That Monday morning, I took it to a very reputable auto repair shop, to have a complete diagnostic check of the vehicle. They found numerous air-bag codes in the On-Board computer system , that WERE NOT listed on the Carfax Report provided. It was also determined that all (5) stereo system speakers were blown. I immediately took it to a local Chevrolet Dealership for further examination, and they thought the vehicle had probably been in a flood. When I notified Carvana of my findings, they just told me to return the vehicle, which I did. When leaving, I noticed a rep placing a "Certified" label on the windshield.

On 1/18/24, my husband and I went through with purchasing a Lincoln MKX with delivery planned on 1/27. The contract was signed, down payment confirmed of downpayment of 1290, insurance uploaded. Car was on its way. On 1/19/24 we received a message that we could get the car earlier if we picked it up. We got online to chat with an advocate on how to make this happen. The advocate informed us to just change delivery on the contract. What he didnt tell us was it voided the contract and made us go back through. Suddenly the terms changed to 7100 down. We discussed this with the advocate who ensured us that the company would honor the terms of the original contract. They took 7100 out of our account. We immediately cancelled the delivery and the 7100 cancelled. It is now 2/1, it is still under review (stone walling), they will not allow us to speak with anyone other than an advocate.
I have asked numerous times that either the original contract needs to be honored or we need the 990 for delivery reimbursed to us. Every time we speak to someone "it's still under review". Mind you - there terms are good for 30 days. Ill let you think of whats happening there. Stone walling so they dont have to honor the original terms maybe? So we are out 990 for delivery of a vehicle that never got delivered and a company that refuses to escalate our calls and chats to supervisors, and liars who keep changing time lines. Do not believe a word they say regarding terms and downpayments. And if you have a problem - just save yourself some grief and get an attorney involved.

I was a little hesitant to buy a car online but the convenience made it completely worth it. I compared the price to other dealerships and it was only a few hundred dollars more which I think is worth it for the convenience of not having to deal with a Salesman and the multiple hours of paperwork when you visit a dealership. When I went to pick up my vehicle I was in and out in probably under 20 minutes. They submitted my title to the DMV but I unfortunately have still not received my plate from the DMV because the Colorado DMV is so backed up. So my temporary plate that I initially received has now expired.
I called to Carvana with this issue and they issued me a check pay for alternate transportation so that I would I not have to drive with expired plates. They expedited the check and I had it within 5 days. I thought this was just above and beyond customer service. The vehicle that I purchased was exactly as expected and has been a dream to drive. There were no flaws or issues. I have had nothing but a good experience with Carvana and would recommend them to anyone. The DMV on the other hand..

I recently had a highly disappointing experience with Carvana that compelled me to share my story. I had placed an order for a 2020 Subaru WRX a week ago and was eagerly awaiting its delivery, scheduled for tomorrow. However, my excitement was abruptly shattered when Carvana sent me an email stating they could no longer sell the car due to issues discovered during their inspection. According to their agent, the previous owner had modified the engine, making the car ineligible to pass New York state inspection.
My frustration stems from the fact that these issues should have been identified well before the day before delivery. This last-minute cancellation left me in a bind, having already secured insurance for the new car and put my old car up for sale. While Carvana offered a full refund and a $250 credit for another car, I'm apprehensive about choosing a different vehicle. I had my heart set on the Subaru, and now it seems like it won't happen. This experience has left me questioning Carvana's inspection process and overall reliability. If you're considering purchasing from Carvana, be aware of the potential for last-minute cancellations and ensure you have a backup plan in place. I hope my review helps others navigate their car-buying decisions more cautiously.

I purchased my car through Carvana and was able to pick it up 2 days later; I live in a very rural area and had to travel about 50 miles to get it. The whole process was the easiest I have ever been through to buy a car. There was no sitting in a dealership for hours, no waiting on some salesman to tell me what they value my trade in as, only to really give me the shaft in the end. Carvana paid off my trade in, in full, and the left over money from the trade was put torwards my new ride.
The new car was very clean and running great when I picked it up; they even put the code reader on it to show me that it was not throwing any codes. I got 7 days to drive this car and decide if it was right for me; a dealership has never given me that option. In those 7 days, you can take it to a mechanic and have it looked over and if something is not right, you let Cavana know within those 7 days and you are under no obligation to purchase. It really is the better way to buy cars and I am in my 40s and have been buying cars for a while! No, you don't get to haggle the price but honestly, I do my research beforehand, so I am aware of what a decent asking price is, and I hate to try to haggle with used car salesmen anyway! I have already made my first payment on my car and since the process was so easy, my wife purchased from Carvana a month after I did.

While it was nice to buy online and not deal with high pressure tactics at dealerships, and we're generally happy with our vehicle, we had two major issues post sale that revealed a discrepancy between how Carvana advertises inspecting and prepping vehicles for sale and what actually happens. First, we discovered a few months after purchasing vehicle that the tires very worn. If tires had been inspected properly for sale, this shouldn't have been an issue. More importantly, when we went to replace them, we discovered the tires had locking lug nuts and we needed a key to get them off. Carvana had not provided a key, nor were they able to locate a key when we contacted them. So we paid several hundred dollars to have the lug nuts drilled off and replaced. I spent hours on the computer and phone tracking down someone who would help reimburse us for the cost, which they finally did, thankfully.
However, just recently, about two years after purchase, we discovered that the metal key inside the electronic fob Carvana gave us with the vehicle was not cut to fit the car they sold us. We'd been using the fob for keyless entry and ignition with no issue, but after a long trip we returned to the airport to find the car battery had died. The keyless entry therefore didn't work, so we took out the metal key from the fob to unlock the car manually--only to discover that it did not fit the lock. This put us in a potentially dangerous situation, locked out of car at airport in a lot with two young children. Luckily, we had AAA to help us.
We paid $375 to cut keys that actually fit what Carvana sold us. This confirms the discrepancy between Carvana's alleged vehicle inspection practices and what they actual do with a car before they sell it to you (not much, apparently). But this time, they say they will not reimburse the charge, as it's been too long and car is 'out of warranty'. They won't take responsibility for their shoddy work, nor for putting our family in danger.

I recently put my Tahoe on the market and got quotes from several dealers and Carvana was the best by a good margin. I then tried selling myself but after just a couple of days I quickly realized that I didn't want the hassle of negotiating so I immediately went to Carvana. Selling to Carvana was the quickest and easiest deal ever. Direct deposit was nice also.

I couldn't have been happier. Michael with Carvana called 15 minutes prior to arrival and arrived exactly on time. He was very professional and explained everything and made sure that we understood the full process of what was going to take place. He then did a visual walk around of the car's exterior/interior. Next he took the car for a short test drive to verify that it operated properly. After this Mike went over the paperwork with us. Mike then showed us the check for purchasing our car and asked if it was for the correct amount. I told him that it was. He then asked us if we had any questions before signing the title over to Carvana. We had no questions and signed the title. The car was theirs and he handed me a check for the agreed upon amount.
This was such a quick and easy process. I will definitely use Carvana again. They came to my house fully prepared to purchase our car. All paperwork was completed prior to their arrival and only needed my signature. The process was seamless and only took approximately 30 minutes from arriving to loading up the car. Great job Mike and thank you Carvana.

Back in 2019 I sold a Kia Soul EV to Carvana, so when it came time to sell my Nissan Leaf they were the first place I thought of.

I spent over $700 on repairs out of my pocket at GM dealership and the motor quit knocking for a few weeks and has now started back. All Carvana did was send me $100 check in the mail as an apology for lying. The apology is not accepted. The car still has less than 100,000 miles. They should do the right thing and fix the car.

To start off the selling of my vehicle was just OK... then I had another vehicle I offered to sell them. The process was like dealing with inexperienced kids, who had no idea what they were looking at. Asking for the documents, on the second vehicle... REGISTRATION, PAYOFF, then the statement.. with all these documents in front of them they said they can not purchase a leased vehicle... the vehicle is not leased, and they still argue the facts.. this was not the only time I had to deal with incompetent kids, as I had tried to purchase a vehicle a while back.. with all of the tax information there, the young girl argued that I did not make that much income... very inexperienced and would say it be better to sell or purchase a vehicle from Auto Trader.
The other fact is that you're not verbally in communication with them, instead it is a computer chatting with you and can not answer questions, but gives suggestions. My opinion it is not worth the headaches to deal with CARVANA, and it is not worth going to talk to someone at a location as they will not talk unless you have a appointment, and again, that is not possible unless you satisfy them through the electronic communication. Will not recommend doing business in this fashion.

I hate to write this review, given the initial positive experience we had with Carvana, but they failed on this purchase. This is the second car we have purchased from Carvana. The first purchase was a very positive experience with no complaints or issues. This led us to purchase a second car for our daughter, who lives in Boone, NC, a mountainous and hilly region. As we drove the car to her, we noticed the brakes were not operating smoothly. When applied at speeds over 40 mph, the steering wheel juddered and the car shook. Seeing this, we arranged for a visit to one of SilverRock’s repair facilities.
After waiting 8 hours for SilverRock to make a decision, we were informed they would ONLY cover the replacement of the rear rotors, not covering the front rotors and the brake pads, even though all rotors had warping and extreme rusting on the rotors. So, how did brake rotors in such bad condition make it through Carvana’s certification process? And, why is SilverRock prioritizing NOT paying a $500 repair over the safety of the individual driving the car? After contacting Carvana, we were told they could do nothing. Shame. Lost a repeat customer.

The online search for a vehicle was simple and straightforward, I found several cars I liked and with the provided Inspection and Carfax report I was able to narrow the choices down to the best, in my opinion, choice. Financing was simple enough and taking delivery of the car was also just as easy. During the 7 day trial period my check engine light came on (no way to predict this happening) but Carvana immediately resolved the issue paid for repairs (defective sensor) and all was good. I am currently waiting to see how the registration process goes but I do not expect any issues there as everything is handled by a third party title company. All in all I have had zero issues and will definitely recommend them to my friends.

I just purchased a Ford Mustang from Carvana. The inspection report indicates the exterior appearance only has 2 imperfections; chip on the hood and a small dent on rear bumper. Which it does not have either. At a glance, the car looks great. Upon closely inspecting the vehicle, it would be merely impossible for an inspector to miss that this vehicle has obviously been in an accident. The driver quarter panel looks and feels different than the rest of the car. This includes stripes at the bottom of both sides of the car. The driver side stripe only goes to the door, whereas the stripe on the other side goes into the quarter panel. This vehicle was sold as no accidents. There are a couple of deep scratches and the front grill is missing a big chunk. So one might ask, "Was this intentionally left out of the 150-point inspection on purpose to mislead the buyer"?"
A vehicle that has no accidents versus a car that has is a huge discrepancy. I brought this to their attention and the replies I get are automated and I had to complete a complaint on each item individually. It is my collective opinion that this is a serious matter that Carvana leads you to believe they closely evaluate the vehicle because its values include making sure customers are getting what they are paying for. I had to complete a complaint for each scratch...etc.. separately.
As of yet, no one has directly attempted to reach out to me to offer any type of resolution to my satisfaction and or compensation based upon the failure to efficiently inspect vehicle in its entirety causing incorrect car value. Unless of course this was intentional. With this said, if no good faith attempt is made, I will never purchase a vehicle from Carvana again and I will make sure to tell all my friends, family, neighbors, and work associates. Disappointed, Eileen.

The big problems, 1) Why was I not informed when the ACH for my payment did not go through? 2) Lack of follow through from either the first advocate I spoke with and or Accounting, and 3) Why was my check not automatically fast tracked when Carvana was already late in paying me.

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

Carvana is a good concept. Pros: 1) they have a large selection of vehicles that allow you to find the make, model, mileage and price point you want 2) they beat dealerships on my trade value, 3) you can research the Carfax and window stickers to know what you are getting your self into. Cons: 1) when you deal with Carvana, you bend to the will of their "machine," 2) their operating system is rigid, and doesn't communicate very well, 3) advocates that step in when you ask "Sebastian" the Bot to work with a human can't problem-solve too well off of their scripts, 3) I am suspicious of the veracity of their "150 Point Inspection" and "Carvana Certified" claims -- here's why: after several months of in-depth research at dealers and Carvana, I bought a Volvo XC40 from Carvana.
The morning after I picked up the vehicle, I switched on the ignition and a dash warning alerted me to "turn off the engine, low coolant level." I texted Carvana's bot and asked what to do; text was ignored, so I called customer service. Long story shorter -- one advocate told me to tow the car to an approved garage, another told me to tow the car to the closest Volvo dealership -- neither mattered because when I initiated a service call with Carvana's Roadside Service vendor they had no record of my purchase and told me to call back Carvana to get it worked out.
I ended up topping off the antifreeze and driving the car to my mechanic where I learned: 1) the car needed front/back brake pads, and wheel alignment $650 out of my pocket 2) repair of a front engine seal leak, broken rear hatch struts, a new steering wheel and new battery for Volvo On-Call System -- fortunately all fixed at the dealership under warranty. NONE of these warts were mentioned on Carvana's inspection report. I love my newish car now that he is back to factory specs, no thanks to Carvana. Their seven day return guarantee evaporates quickly -- get your ride checked out by someone you trust to make sure you are satisfied with the deal.

Buying a car on Carvana is super easy. But, in my experience, they don't go the extra mile to make sure the car you buy is up to par when it arrives at your doorstep. The communication between the driver who delivered the vehicle and the experience with the driver himself was the best part of the transaction. Luke was the man! A nice gentleman originally from Cambridge, England. He went over everything and made it very easy.
That being said, he offered me to take the car for a spin around the block which I declined. Bad move. Once Carvana left with my trade-in I wanted to take the family for a ride in the new wheels. As we were driving down the road, a loud scraping noise was coming from the back rear of the car. WTH! Luckily, we ran into Luke and the Carvana truck just down the road and told him the problem. He wasn't happy. He noted it in his paperwork but I never heard a word from Carvana. Nothing. Yes, there is a 90-day limited warranty but come on people. I had to take the vehicle to a specific garage that dealt with Carvana. On my way, the low tire indicator came on? Seriously?
Long story short. Carvana doesn't really go over your car with a fine-toothed comb before you purchase it. It looks all shiny on the outside, but the rear caliper was rusted out which made the noise. It was also towards the end of its life as are my tires, according the garage mechanic. I understand you buy a "used" car, but I think Carvana can do a little bit more than leaving the car as is when you buy it and just giving the exterior a fresh coat of Turtle Wax.

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

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

I purchased my car from Carvana after carefully reviewing the all the images and the written detail. After payment, I noticed the the car was not a 6 speed manual as advertised but an automatic transmission. This is a pretty big miss as the interior image was not clear and the window sticker wasn't available. Before delivery, I contacted the "customer care" team and they informed me that technically it was a manual because with the automatic transmission you could put it in "manual" mode. Absolutely absurd and fraudulent. The Carvana rep said that they would file an incident report and get back to me.
Their solution was to change the original listing to automatic transmission. Mind you, this was done after I paid and before delivery. When I confronted the manager about this change at their pick up location, they acted as if I had fabricated the entire story and would not make any attempts to resolve the situation. Fortunately, I took screenshots of the original, incorrect posting, but Carvana still wouldn't do anything.
The only reason anyone would ever buy or sell a car with Carvana is because they are truly incompetent and do not know what they are doing. It is for this reason that they will sell a car for less than what the market price would be. My guess is that you have a team of very new, untrained personnel pushing cars that don't have a clue as to the product that they are actually selling. I have called them repeatedly, but to date, no one has returned my calls or made any attempt to resolve my initial complaint.

I received the car. Next day as I accelerated to overtake all power went and the engine warning light came on. Narrowly avoided pile up. Not a roadworthy car as delivered but still no refund on delivery charge. The fault is so obvious it is difficult to believe they conduct any checks. The car also stank of smoke so not sure it had been properly cleaned. Very disappointing and nearly fatal experience that cost over $1000 unrefunded dollars for a car that was not even useable let alone safe.

Lame assist was non functional and paint was 2 different colors, telling me it was in an accident that wasn't reported and their inspector was to blind to see. I swapped the car out for another. Car comes in and instead of rolling my original money over they decide to take the entire payment from me again! Leaving me over a thousand negative in my account.

Very satisfied with the overall experience. Purchase was easy and convenient. Delivery was on time and the driver was extremely professional and friendly. Mechanical and physical condition of the truck was exactly as advertised and expected. However, I was disappointed with the detail and cleanliness of the vehicle. This was my 5th purchase with Carvana and the vehicles have always been received in very clean condition.
It was obvious that the attention to detail was lacking on this one before being sent out. There were some type of splatter stains on the dash area, the exterior was somewhat clean but had obviously not been washed before shipment. The tonneau cover was not latched properly to the truck. The floor mats were left in the bed of the truck and were wet and moldy to the point of not being usable because of the smell and mold stains. Had to purchase new ones.

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

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

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

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

I was definitely skeptical at first to buy a car online, but Carvana did not disappoint! They even offered more money than other dealerships for my trade-in which was very important for me. I was able to narrow my search down to exactly what I wanted and found my car. The application process was so simple and straightforward. I chose to go to the vending machine because why not!! I always wanted to see the vending machines. The experience was so incredibly easy! They brought my car down and gave me the keys to take it for a drive. I was in love! Since everything was done online I didn’t have to stay and go through a pile of paperwork. I just gave them my trade-in car and drove home with my new car.
The only issue I experienced was when my car came down it had a racing stripe on the hood. At first I thought they had the wrong car. It definitely didn’t show it in any of the pictures online. Everything else looked exactly what it was online. It was a sticker but was afraid to remove it myself in case I caused damage. The girl who helped me said I should call and put in a issue ticket. It was an aesthetic issue but I planned to get it taken care of as a racing stripe was not my style! Especially on a SUV. I got a Kia Sportage. I spoke to Ashley and let me tell you, she was absolutely amazing! She put in a ticket for it to be removed. She was so helpful and so nice. Carvana recognized that there was a misrepresentation and made sure that it got remedied. It was a bit of a process as it had to go through the warranty company but they worked diligently on getting me to a shop to have them remove the stickers before my 7-day return period ended.
Thankfully it didn’t cause any paint damage and got my car back within a couple of hours! It’s been 3 weeks since I got my Kia Sportage and I am extremely happy with my purchase. The entire experience was wonderful and knowing that there is support beyond the purchasing process when an issue arose gave me the peace of mind I needed. First time ever buying a car online was proven to be worth it! I would recommend Carvana to anyone who is looking to buy or sell their car. Thank you Carvana for the wonderful experience!

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

The Saturday before our delivery (Friday) we had decided to sell our old car and get something newer that would work with my wife's disabled mother. The 2020 Kia Soul on Carvana's site seemed to be a Godsend. Truly we felt that we had been nudged by God into doing this deal. We still love the car but we nearly didn't get it when it was delivered. The process to buy the Carvana car went smoothly and I uploaded my Drivers License, Docusigned the Sell/Purchase documents, and uploaded my insurance binder my insurance agent provided. All three items were accepted and received the "Green Checkmark" on the Carvana site. We were ready to get our new car!
Friday afternoon I came home early from work. We were both excited to have our new car delivered and our old car taken away. It's a nice touch in the Carvana app to be able to track the delivery vehicle as it comes to your home. As the truck was rounding the last corner we were both on the porch waving at the driver as he turned around. OUR NEW CAR WAS HERE. We were both very excited.
I went out to the street with my DL to show the driver as instructed. The driver gets out of the truck and wasn't a super friendly guy. I took it as Friday afternoon, "lets get this done - so I can go home" attitude. I was okay with that but then he drops the bombshell on me that there was a problem with my insurance. My insurance renewed 13 days after this delivery date. I was surprised since the insurance binder I had uploaded was accepted by the company. I asked him what he needed and he said proof that I had insurance for the next 30 days.
I replied that I do and that it was renewing on the 16th. He said I need to see that your insurance will continue for the next 30 days. Confused, I called my agent and was lucky enough that he was still in the office. I explained the request from the driver and my agent said that's what he had given me and that I had uploaded to the system. Driver was adamant that what was uploaded was not sufficient and he was not going to unload the car until I proved I had insurance for 30 days.
We went around a few times, and my agent tried to text a few other documents to me to show the driver and each time he was not satisfied. Now my excitement had been crushed and I was getting upset that I hadn't been informed that this was a requirement and that what I had uploaded was not sufficient. I was at the point to tell him to get back in the truck and leave and frankly his attitude towards me and the situation was not helping. The man had a chip on his shoulder. My wife came out while I went in to contact support. While I was waiting both online and on the phone for a support person to help us, my wife and the agent showed him the very document I had uploaded to the system and the ones he had texted to me earlier and somehow the driver was appeased and he unloaded the vehicle.
After he had loaded our old vehicle and had left I finally got to talk to a support person on the phone. I explained what had happened and how the drivers attitude had upset me so much. The support person said this was NOT THE CARVANA EXPERIENCE they wanted me to have; It wasn't the one I wanted either. She further explained she didn't know what the driver had a problem with because the insurance binder I had uploaded was exactly what they wanted. There shouldn't have been any question during the delivery. I was affected by the bad experience I had the remainder of the day and the next.
In addition the the very poor delivery we experienced the vehicle had some paint chips on the bumper that were not listed in the ad. I reported that to Carvana. I was told that we had 3 cosmetic requests that we can enter during the 7 day trial period. So I turned in the bumper and it was approved to be repaired. A day or so later I notice another paint chip on one of the rear doors. I reported it as well. This chip was more worrisome as I could see that the chip went all the way to the metal and that it was starting to rust. The bumper was plastic and if it wasn't repaired wouldn't be a big deal. However, the door chip was denied as "normal wear and tear" on a used vehicle. I found another paint chip near the roof, it wasn't as bad as the one on the door so I didn't even feel like trying to get it fixed. So much for 3 cosmetic repairs.
All in all, I was happy with the vehicle selection that Carvana offers, okay with the trade in value we got for our old car, and okay with the price of the new one. The process to purchase the vehicle is straightforward and not too troubling. However, the experience with the driver regarding my approved insurance and his lack of customer service really, really, killed our opinion of Carvana. Would I buy another vehicle from Carvana, maybe, maybe not, would I recommend it to others, probably not.

I have been a Carvana fan since I purchased my first vehicle from them in 2018. I have since purchased personally, or referred friends and family, who have purchased from Carvana since 2018. I live in Georgia and therefore purchased from Georgia. I referred a cousin, who was very satisfied and purchased from Carvana in California. So, when my daughter, who lives in Illinois needed a car, naturally Carvana was my first thought. We went online and chose several cars and my daughter fell in love and decided on one. Of course, Carvana offers a 7-day guarantee, the ability to trade cars if not satisfied, and all things to attract and secure your business; and until Carvana in Illinois, I was sold. I made a very hefty down payment, my daughter picked up the car and finally she was mobile.
The car was in pristine condition cosmetically, but in the first day while driving she notice a slight oil leak. No Worries!! We have the guarantee and Carvana has a relationship with SilverRock Warranty for repairs. Per agreement, we found a Carvana/SilverRock repair facility and had them look at the car. They found where the leak originated and stated that it would take a few hours for repair, but they could not start repair until they received approval from SilverRock. Cue the drama! Silver Rock’s practice is to take 3-4 days to approve the repair! We call CARVANA ILLINOIS for assistance in expediting the matter, given the time constraint and they can do nothing even though the car was purchased under a 7-day Guarantee and the clock is ticking!!!!
What about the partnership that they have with SilverRock on cars that are under the 7-day warranty? I feel so sorry for the customer advocates as they can do nothing but read from a script and tell you how sorry they are. When we asked to just trade the car out, they stated that they would need additional down payment on a car that was the exact same price as the one in disrepair! Why would we give more money and wait more days for empty promises?!
This is a matter that could have been handled in a few keystrokes and a phone call; if Carvana truly wanted to satisfy the customer and sell a car! We didn’t decide to quit the deal until Carvana defaulted on the 7-day guarantee! We are 10 days into this situation with no car, no money and only the promise of down payment return in a few days. A down payment that they received within a few minutes. I am no longer a Carvana fan in any state! Technology is so wonderful, but nothing takes the place of a sit-down talk and a test drive prior to purchase! Let the buyer beware! Visit a dealer! See. Touch. Drive your new ride before you make that down payment!!!! Shame on you Carvana!!!!

After I accepted the offer the sale paperwork was quick and easy with digital signature options. I scheduled my pick up (which I was charged for) as the closest drop off location was 90 miles away. There was good communication during the process and the day of pick up the driver Kaley contacted me frequently with updates.
My only point of frustration was that my vehicle was not picked up but rather kept on my property after completing the sale and picked up the following day. I was frustrated as there was not mention that this may happen and when I tried to contact Carvana the call center agent was less than helpful. However I commend Kaley, she listened to my concerns and really made the process smooth. Kaley inspected my vehicle, handed me my check and apologized again for the inconvenience. The car was picked up early the following morning. Overall this was a great experience and I would use the service again.

My adult daughter died and I needed to sell her car for expenses. I had it shipped from another state and when it arrived it had a little more body damage than I had realized. Carvana had made an offer and I figured it would change when they saw the car. The guy was here 5 minutes and the money was pending in my account. Great experience and I have already recommended them to others.

The takeaway: Selling my 2014 Ford Fusion to Carvana was a great experience, and I'll use them again if I ever need to sell another vehicle. The details: Carvana's estimate came in higher than all the local dealership estimates I received, even accounting for the pickup charge. (Yes, there will probably be a pickup charge if you choose not to drop off the vehicle yourself, which I hadn't considered until making the pickup appointment. However, I found the charge fair, as Carvana had to drive 280 miles round-trip in my case.)
Since I'm a worrier by nature, I was concerned that some paperwork snag or random hiccup would derail the sale, but not so! The sale took about 15 minutes (I elected to complete my sales doc online ahead of time), and payment took place at completion of the sale as promised. As a final point, I appreciated how virtually the whole process took place online, and that I didn't have to speak to any humans until the rep showed up for the sale. :p

I would highly recommend selling a car on Carvana as my experience was great. I never even considered Carvana, but when a dealership would only give me $15,000 for my car and I told them that wouldn’t work, they recommended I try Carvana. I was shocked when Carvana offered me $19,300 for my car! It was Halloween week and I was super busy so driving 50 minutes away to drop off the car wasn’t ideal. For an extra charge, I paid for them to pick it up at my house. I didn’t have to put any money out, they just deducted it from the amount they were going to give me. It was well worth it because they came, inspected the car and 15 minutes later they were gone! My 10 year old also enjoyed watching them put it on the small flatbed.
The money was direct deposited and available the next day. It says it can take 1-2 days, but my money was available to me the next morning which was great because I couldn’t buy my new car until I had the money. I can’t say how buying a car on Carvana would be and I would probably be more hesitant about that, but selling a car on Carvana is highly recommended!

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

So while Carvana will not sell a vehicle that has had an accident reported to CARFAX, they most certainly will sell one that has not been reported. The vehicle in question was a 2013 Camaro SS maroon in color. It arrived with paintwork to the right side door, fender and hood. It had overspray from a terrible home repair to the hood, rocker, A pillar and front bumper. It said it had passed a 150 point Carvana certified inspection. How it passed when the paintwork was so bad the transporter didn't even have to take it off the delivery truck to see the issues I don't know.
Do not buy from them online without seeing the vehicle first. They do not have full disclosure of damages on their site and are betting on the fact that the consumer doesn't know any better or how to spot issues. Have the vehicle inspected by someone you trust if you do buy from them, and be cautious if it seems too good to be true.

I had never purchased off Carvana before. I was a bit weary, but I found a specific model of vehicle that was difficult to find, with decent miles, and in my price range. I found exactly what I wanted on Carvana. I am in my late 40s with an 800 credit score. My house is paid off, I have no other vehicle loans and less than $10k on credit cards. My husband and I make well over 100k a year. I requested a quote through Carvana and they gave me a 10% interest rate!!! I ended up going with USAA at 6%, which as we all know in today's world is great.
I submitted all my information to Carvana, that they required, on Monday Morning. They state that they will be in touch in 1-2 business days if they need any further information. I did not hear a word from them until Wed. Keep in mind, I had already requested a delivery date of the following Monday for my vehicle. On Wed, I had to reach out to them via their Chat service. They then explained that I needed a few more things and to get them submitted right away. I did, within Minutes. I wondered at that time why they did not reach out if they needed more information. Oh and EVERY conversation I had with them, they state "now make sure you get everything done or we won't be able to deliver on Monday and we will have to start all over"!
Thursday comes, no updates. I reach out via Chat again...they tell me that there is some information they need from USAA. So I then have to contact USAA, and get back to Carvana...which I did within the hour. I had to get a copy of a paper check from USAA and a tracking number and load it to Carvana's website. Then I reached out again via chat. They stated they see they have everything they need and they just need to wait on my down payment to hit (which was pulled out of my account on Monday) and for THEIR Underwriter to call USAA to verify the Check information. Then AGAIN, "if everything is not in by Friday at 5 your order will be cancelled and you will have to start over and your delivery will be delayed".
Friday 10AM - I contact them again via Chat - "Did you get my down payment?" and "Check from USAA?"...They stated that they did receive my down payment and they see the copy of the check I uploaded. I explained I tracked the actual check and it was delivered as well. They state "ok, we are just waiting on Underwriting to contact USAA"..."And don't forget, if we don't have everything by 5PM..." WTH?!?!? I am waiting on you! NOT ONE TIME the entire week did they contact me, I had to contact them EVERY TIME! So I wait...3PM rolls around, no information, no calls, no emails, nothing. So I contact them on Chat AGAIN, the gal tells me AGAIN, still waiting on Underwriting. Then she tells me if I haven't heard back from them by 4:59PM to call back. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I did not listen, I called in and talked to Underwriting right away.
Talked to John. John does not call USAA, he says that the "copy" of the check I loaded only had the check part and not the check stub on it. I explained it had been delivered that morning. He called over to the mail department then gets back on and tells me they will have to look for it and he will call me back shortly. NEVER HEARD BACK FROM JOHN! I waited until 5:15 Friday Afternoon, called in, sat on hold for 20 min and finally got ahold of Raya. RAYA is based in the Philippines and was VERY considerate but she told me the same thing that John did about finding the check and still needing to call USAA. She started to tell me it would take them a couple more days and that my delivery would be delayed. I had already sold my car so it was imperative I got it delivered on Monday. I lost it!!!! I went off on that poor girl.
When I was done, very calmly she tells me that she would be upset too. She asks me to hold on. She put me on hold for 5 min and when she came back on she had found the check and she had reached out to USAA. We had a 3-way call to verify the check information and when we were done, she verified that I would be getting my vehicle on Monday. She was the ONLY person at Carvana that seemed to care at all and not only did her job but went above and beyond to take care of me! I give her 5 stars. But I WILL NEVER buy another vehicle through Carvana again!!! My car showed up in the time it was supposed to and the delivery gal was very efficient...best part of the whole experience! I DO NOT RECOMMEND BUYING A CAR WITH CARVANA!

The online (contactless) process is a bit clunky and not clearly lined out on the website. I used a third party lender for financing. That made the transaction a little more difficult because it was a bit confusing and not clearly explained on the website. This delayed my transaction by a few days. The photos on the listing would have been better viewed if I could have made them full screen. (I was using Chrome) I would like to have seen some photos of the undercarriage of the vehicle. I was a bit surprised of the amount of rust and corrosion on the underside. The Carfax report indicated the vehicle spent its life in a winter climate so I should have expected it. Overall I am pleased with the vehicle and would recommend Carvana to others with explanations of my experience. I was led to Carvana by the vehicle I purchased, so I did not just start looking for vehicles here first.

In early August 2023, I found a car on the Carvana website that I thought might work for me. I ordered it and planned to trade in my current car. Things went smoothly online and the day came for them to bring my new vehicle. The gentleman came with it, I drove it around for maybe 5/ 6 minutes and thought it was fine. Explanations were made, I signed all papers and he took off with my previous car. I decided to go for another little ride in the new vehicle, drove about 3 minutes and the car putt-putted to death and would not start again. Not a battery problem, a fuel injection issue.
I called the trade-in guy, he said 'sorry' but that was it. I called everyone at Carvana, they said 'sorry'. I, at that moment, decided to swap the new car out for another one and told them. Had to have the car towed back to my parking lot and looked for a new car. Of course, at this point, I had no car. So I went out and rented a car at the cost of $800 because they only had huge cars left to rent. In the meantime, I am calling Carvana to get them to pay for my rental. But nnoooo! Only SilverRock can reimburse for car rentals, but because I did not send the car to a repair shop, they would not cover my rental.
So, I ate the cost myself. My new car was to come a week later. As with many companies these days, they were short handed for drivers (transportation issues) and couldn't get it to me for another week. Of course, they didn't tell me until the day it was to come, my rental was to go back that day and, again, no car. So, I rented another car so I could do things like get to work, but groceries, you know. Second rental cost me only $600. Again, I was constantly calling Carvana & SilverRock and getting nowhere. They all said 'sorry', but could not connect me to anyone that could make an impact on my issue.
I want to tell you that all of the customer service people were very compassionate and great listeners, never telling me that I was wrong. One even said that there should a way to help people who are having this kind of trouble with Carvana. My rental costs were not created by my mistakes. Both times it was on Carvana - not checking that the first car was ready to go and not planning well with 'transportation issues.' Carvana communicating with me was very weak and their customer service process needs major work. They may not care what I think of them, but I will not be working with them again.

Horrible. I wish I could give 0000 stars. The buying process was simple but that’s where the good ends. Had the pickup 3 days and it started losing power in the engine. Contacted the sham warranty company-Silver Rock. They sent a tow truck which took the pickup to a nonexistent repair shop. Obviously, the driver was peeved but agreed to take it to a different shop. Apparently, it has to go to a make-specific/dealership repair shop. So my husband towed the pickup himself because Silver Rock only covers 10 miles for a tow, they told me it would be OVER $900 to tow 60 miles. Living in rural Oklahoma- the nearest shop was 60+ miles away. The pickup has been sitting at the dealership waiting for repair for about 1.5 months. We had it 3 days.
Now weeks of back and forth with Carvana, silver Rock and the dealership. It really seems like they are trying to run out the clock for the 90 day limited warranty. They sent multiple “inspectors” to the dealership to verify it needs a new motor (per the dealership). They finally authorized the claim but are using a REFURBISHED engine with about 45k miles. Still waiting for the engine to arrive and who knows how long it will take for the actual repair. The finance company has been blowing up my phone - they want their money but we HAVE NO TRUCK! Carvana washed their hands of us and pushed it off onto Silver Rock. I have spoken to so many people, been told they will get back to me ASAP. The only people calling me are the finance company. This situation is incredibly stressful and disheartening. They have no accountability. DO NOT BUY THRU CARVANA.

I began to lose my vision slowly over the past few months, to the point where driving became less and less of an option for me. I knew that I would eventually have to sell my truck (Dodge Ram 1500 Hemi), but I had hope that my diagnosis would change, and things would get better for me. Unfortunately, that is not the case. As I contemplated selling my truck, I thought about how much haggling I would have to do at a car lot or how much time and effort I would have to put into selling it personally and honestly, with all that I am already facing, I just didn't have the will power to try any of those options.
My wife had heard about Carvana from infomercials and online ads and looked up the site to read the reviews from past and present customers. After doing some in-depth research on Carvana, she then went on to Kelley Blue Book to see what the value of our truck was in accordance with their site. After learning what our value was, she then went back onto Carvana, put in all of our information, and waited for their estimated value to come back.
In those minutes of waiting, I, the ever skeptical, told her that there was no way that Carvana would even come close to the Kelley Blue Book value and that she was wasting her time. Boy was I wrong. Not only did Carvana come back with the same value of Kelley Blue Book, but they also offered pick up service right from my home (for a small nominal fee). With the help of an outstanding customer service agent (Tyler **) we accepted their offer, set up a pickup date and time, and signed all of our paperwork. The process was just that easy. All of the paperwork was easy to understand and there were no hidden cost or fees, and no stipulations or agendas. Just a very easy sale.
On the day of the vehicle pick up, the tow driver, Anthony, was running a little behind and reached out to let me know an updated estimated time of arrival. I appreciated his ability to keep me informed, as it is a rare occurrence to have that type of customer service with customer involvement in this day and age. Once Anthony arrived, within 15 minutes everything was done, and I walked away with a check in hand. I just want people to know how grateful I am to Carvana, to Tyler (**) and Anthony for making an experience that could have been so much harder to face, such a pleasant experience. I will always be grateful for your service, your honesty, and your excellent customer care.
With gratitude,Ken **

That vehicle is still listed for sale on their site. That car should be wholesaled! The good thing though was the website and ease of buying - just buyer beware.
