I would not recommend buying a car from Carvana. I purchased a 2017 Subaru Forester that had a small dent/rust spot on the trunk. This was not visible in any of the 3 pictures they labeled “Imperfections” The next day and was told that this was acceptable under their used car standards.. and that I could exchange the car. It took me weeks to find a used Subaru, so I decided to keep it and pay for the repair myself. Then 2 weeks later the transmission breaks.
It happened 3 days before a scheduled trip to the mountains. Because it wasn’t a general repair they couldn’t look at my car until the following week, after my trip. So now I’m stuck renting a car for my trip that will not be covered under the warranty. So in summary Carvana sold me a car with a rust spot and broken transmission! If you do decide the take the risk and buy a car from them, make sure you look at the pictures of the vehicle very carefully and buy the warranty!!
Carvana prides itself on providing our customers with 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 additional peace of mind, but we are very sorry for the frustration we have caused you. We recommend getting in contact with Silverrock, our trusted warranty partner, to help resolve your concerns. You can always chat with us 24/7 if any questions arise. We appreciate the feedback you have provided us as we are always looking to improve the customer experience.

We spent 70K g550 on a new car to Suprise my wife. The car showed up with peeling trim, a broken sunroof, water in the lights, messed up bumper, rust in the car and water damage. On the site it say they do a 150 point inspection, they definitely don't fix anything they find. They lie and they avoid! They took the car back. Said FULL refund and then weeks later we don't have our money back. The customer service at that point disappears...
The worst part is someone bought the car before me as we were watching it. They bought it and then a few weeks later it was back up for sale. We bought it. Figured they changed their mind, NOPE they found all the issues. Obviously the person before us found the same issues and returned it. Then they take the car and put up for sale again... they take the car back from us and right away they relist it. It was too fast to fix the issues... so they did not fix the problems and try to pass on to someone else... STAY AWAY, NIGHTMARE.

This is the second time I bought a car from Carvana. The whole process is very convenient. No pressure from salesmen. Everything done online. Only 15 actual minutes at Carvana picking up car. Only negative is they need to start accepting credit cards as down payment option.

I did not expect my experience to go as smoothly as it did. I sold via Carvana. I wanted to sell it fast and without hassle. The individual who came to pick up my car was very informative and helpful! He answered all my questions. Props to him! Considering the circumstances. I believe I was given fair amount for my car! While I did not purchase from them: selling my car to them was a smooth process.

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

Vehicle arrived and the Wind Deflector was not with the Vehicle as advertised. Notified Carvana. The vehicle purchased was a convertible. Carvana stated in their contract states some vehicles may not have a part included. This was a disappointment that Carvana would not make the sale whole by providing the Wind Deflector noted to Carvana within the 7-day period as requested by the purchaser.
The vehicle I purchased I had inspected by the make of the Car dealership for a second opinion. The dealership recommended having a used part on the vehicle replaced by original part for preventative maintenance, pertaining to the cooling system. Notified the warranty department Silver Rock. Their reply was they would only cover this if the part was leaking. Yet, another disappointment. Also, Carvana requires the customer to have a REG31 form completed to send back to Carvana for registration to provide customer with their license plates. After the 7 days then Carvana will continue with the DMV processing. I wouldn't call this a smooth process of purchasing a vehicle with Carvana.

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

The experience with Carvana was exceptional to say the least! I was a bit skeptical at first not knowing anyone who had used this option before. Much to my surprise it was very simple and smooth selling my vehicle to Carvana. The advocate handling my transaction was extremely friendly and quite helpful. Kristen with Carvana Lafayette was very professional! I would absolutely recommend Carvana for anyone selling a vehicle, it is safe and secure. Will consider doing business with Carvana again!!

I recently purchased a 2018 Ford F150 Limited From Carvana, it was delivered to me on 9/02/23. Delivery of the truck went okay but once we drove the truck that week we noticed it was driving rough. I contacted Carvana and they pushed me off to the warranty company Silver Rock who sent me an hour away to a preferred repair shop. They insisted it was just the tires and replaced them. The next 3 weeks all I have been dealing with is going back and forth to repair shops just to find out now my brake rotors and Transmission all need to be replaced. Carvana does not want to help at all now because they said it is a warranty issue, not theirs.
They take no responsibility for selling me a unsafe vehicle with severe mechanical issues that put myself and my family at a safety risk. I am currently without the truck for a week and have been told it will take at least another week for the warranty company to send Ford parts and I haven't even made my first payment on the truck yet. Do yourself a favor and shop at a car company that stands by their products and doesn't put their customers at a safety risk.

I will never purchase from Carvana again. The draw was an affordable vehicle with low mileage. However, only 2 days after my grace period expired and I’m already having 2 mechanical issues with my vehicle. Additionally, the customer service is atrocious. Robotexts, call center employees who are uninformed and no ability to speak with a supervisor. Never again.

I received an estimate from them and had to cancel my flight arrangements and buy a new ticket so I could be present at the time the vehicle would be picked up. The morning of, I received an email and text, stating they would arrive at 11am and to remove plates, etc. At 10:14, they call and say they have a staffing shortage and won't be able to pick up my vehicle that day and wanted me to reschedule. I was not about to buy a 3rd plane ticket. Plus they were gonna charge me $200 just to come get my vehicle. They made no offer or attempt to reconcile my situation despite the extra efforts I had made to be present for their arrival.
Their drop off location was 191 miles away, so that was not an option for me, which I had already stated numerous times in the days prior. I requested to speak to a manager. Apparently this manager was at their corporate location, and no effort was made and he seemed to have no problem losing the business either. I couldn't rely on them to be there, why would I make more arrangements to meet them? I live in NY and the vehicle was in Ohio and was supposed to be picked up in Ohio. I wouldn't give them a 1, but 0 wasn't available to leave as a review rating.

I recently purchased my car with Carvana a few weeks ago from the Orlando location. I drove the car home for my 7 days trial period and discovered the AC did not work or the Bluetooth. I tried to switch out the car for another of an equal value, but Carvana's system was not working and a ticket was submitted for the error. I used their warranty to get a mechanic out to fix the AC in the meantime waiting for my new pickup date for the new vehicle. On the new pick up date, I go to swap out the vehicle at the Orlando location, and the system did not update it, so it appeared as if I bought two cars instead of swapping them. I was unable to take home the new car, and had to cancel that swap. I decided to keep the first vehicle, and just deal with the AC repair because the system error was not worth the hassle.
I went through Carvana's third party, Repair Smith. A mechanic came to my house and fixed the AC no problem. The mechanic said oil had spilled on the engine because the vehicle came with no oil cap. Even though Carvana claims to have "inspected" the vehicle, there was no oil cap and the AC was broken upon the initial purchase. I purchased my own oil cap after the AC was fixed. Two days later, the car begins smoking from the engine while I'm driving it. Turns out, the oil that had spilled was causing the smoke. I have to take the vehicle to a Pepboys Auto so the engine can be washed so it'll stop smoking when driving it. After this the vehicle drives fine.
Then later on, I see the recalls on my vehicle that Carvana had listed. Carvana could not tell me if the previous owner had addressed the recalls, or if they themself had addressed the recalls since they do their "150 point inspection." So I take the vehicle to a dealership to check out the recalls. They were fine. So after all of that hassle because Carvana did not check the vehicle thoroughly, I thought the car was fine. However, today, as I am getting errands, the battery light all of a sudden comes on while waiting at a traffic light. There were no lights on prior to this. Mind you, 3 mechanics have looked at the vehicle at this point and deemed it all good, four mechanics if you count Carvana's inspection. The car beeps and says "transmission service needed now" and the batter dies at the intersection. I had to push the car and get someone to jump it. After the jump, the car dies again after 30 seconds of driving.
And now I have another repair scheduled. I understand there is the limited 100 day warranty, which I am grateful for. But my complaint is that Carvana did not check or inspect this vehicle or list any of these problems on the car listing. I have only had the car for 3 weeks and all of the malfunctions have occurred but Carvana had a "guarantee." I want someone to take a look at this issue because this is getting out of hand. Did I buy a piece of junk? Is Carvana selling garbage to consumers and hiding their problems? It has been very frustrating.

When purchasing through Carvana, you are relying on the photos to be accurate as you must purchase the vehicle before seeing it in person. You make your decision about the value of the car and whether you want to buy it based on those photos. When I arrived to pick up the car that I purchased, there was damage to the inside of the door, stains on the seats, and tears in the armrest that were NOT in the photos or noted under "imperfections". I was assured by the Carvana rep that these would be fixed by Carvana since they were not noted.
I filed my claim with SilverRock, Carvana's carrier, to have the items fixed as promised. They are refusing to fix them. They basically say "Whoops sorry we didn't show that in the photos, but that's normal wear and tear." They also waited until my return window was closed to tell me they won't fix anything. To repair these things on my own will cost hundreds of dollars, and I would have taken that into account when I decided whether to purchase this vehicle at the price listed. This is deceptive sales practices.
I'm still waiting to hear if the mechanical issues with the car will be fixed -- it needs an alignment, the camera is broken, the antenna is broken, the interior dome light is broken, and the driver's side window doesn't stay in place. Again... none of these things were noted prior to purchasing the car.

Updated on 10/23/2023: Following up - Carvana did step up and cover the battery replacement. I do appreciate Janet working through that with me. I would love to say that was the end of the story, but unfortunately it is not. Since I got the truck back, it is still pulling to the left when the brakes are applied. Also, it now seems to have an issue with the transmission that I will have to get checked out. Firestone does not work on transmissions, so I'll have to source another shop for that. Once the transmission issue is resolved, it'll have to go back to Firestone to have the brake issue addressed. These will be trips 5 and 6 to the shop since the truck was purchased. I'm assuming I'll have to pay more deductible money for both shops at $100 each. Running total now is $500 out of pocket. As much as I like the truck, it's quickly becoming more of a hassle and frustration than it's worth. Is it too much to ask for dependable transportation that doesn't stay parked at the shop more than my house?
Original Review: I purchased a 2017 Silverado from Carvana. The bad experience started from day 1 just getting the truck picked up. I got to the pickup location about 30 minutes early and had to wait almost 3 hours before I was approached by a Team member asking if I had been helped. 2 different people asked me that about 30 minutes later before anyone actually helped. When they brought the truck around, I was told one of the tires was flat which they had to air up and the truck had not been washed. The associate let me know it would be about another 45 minutes until the detailing was done. His advice about the tire was "keep an eye on it, if it goes flat again you can go through SilverRock for a tire repair". After driving off the lot, the first time I hit the brakes, the truck pulled very hard to the left. I took it to an approved vendor and was told SilverRock would not cover it because their discounted price was lower than the $100 deductible.
They also told me I was not eligible for the discounted price and had to pay full price which was over $100. SilverRock was also told that the battery was bad and needed to be replaced. SilverRock denied the battery saying it was a wear item and I would be responsible for replacing. I had to take the truck to the shop 2 additional times to get the alignment corrected so it was safe enough to drive without pulling. I left work a few days later and the check engine light came on. I took the truck back to Firestone, now for the 4th time - They diagnosed and said the battery, alternator, plugs and wires needed to be replaced. SilverRock stated they would only replace the alternator. After speaking with SilverRock and Carvana and ultimately telling them if they were not willing to cover the repairs for that were present at the time of the purchase, I would surrender the truck and they were free to pick it up.
I asked the CS person I was speaking to to transfer me to a manager, her response was - "You can speak to anyone you want to, but the answer will be the same". Shortly after, I was transferred to a member of Management who agreed that I should not be having these issues. They ultimately stated they would cover the battery, but I would have to pay for it and get reimbursed. It is very frustrating to buy a vehicle that supposedly goes through an inspection process and then have to pay out of pocket to make it safe to drive.
The entire process of getting any repairs completed is a joke. Customers should not have to escalate in the way it was done just to get any kind of resolution. I am still working with them on the resolution of the battery and should hopefully get some kind of resolution today. I have a feeling I'll pay for the battery, but they will find a way to either not reimburse or pay less than what the cost is. Hopefully not, but I'm not holding my breath. Overall terrible experience.

The website makes it very easy to get a price for your car. The entire drop-off and payment took less than 5 minutes. The check was already made out to me for the exact amount stated in their estimate. There was no dickering or negotiating. It was a far better experience than I had anticipated.

Sold my car online to Carvana. Easy to use website, clear instructions, prompt response and totally transparent in handling transaction. Price offered was 30% higher than another major online purchaser and 45% higher than the other major online purchaser. Pickup was scheduled quickly, timely confirmed and arrived as promised.

I've sold a car to Carvana before and had a great experience. Last night I tried to purchase a car and out of nowhere the price and rates shot way up. I thought maybe it was a deeper credit check (I went through a rough period and it affected my credit) so I kept going. then when I went to sign the contract there were two separate charges I had never said yes to, and I discovered that's why my payment structure had changed. (Mind you - it added an entire extra year of payments AND an extra $35/month)
When someone reached out to confirm my email and zip code I asked them about it and they were very robotic. I honestly think they may actually be a bot... They explained what the charge was and it was something I had said yes to for $33/month, not for $35month and an extra year of payments. I asked to speak to a supervisor and he's insisting I can only talk to someone over chat - that if I want a human I'll have to wait 72 hours. Weird, because if someone is available now they can TALK now. It feels like they only want my money in every part of my interaction.

The concept is great but the execution is not. I just purchased a car from here and I took it to the preferred vendor to get some stuff checked out. The auto shop told me I needed to replace 2 tires as they were almost flat. Well SilverRock denied my claim and I talked to a Carvana rep and they said they agreed with SilverRock's decision. So why the 1 star rating? Well I just GOT THIS CAR so why are my tires almost flat!? For the amount I spent on this car, Carvana couldn't get newer tires for the car?? It will cost me 500 bucks out of my own pocket to get the tires replaced. I am so annoyed and quite frankly, will never use Carvana again.

Buying a Porsche from Carvana would not have been my 1st choice but it turned out to be a great experience. I was looking for a low mileage Boxster from 2013-2015. I assumed that they would be overpriced but I was wrong. I had certain things that were a must, manual transmission, Bose stereo, etc.. Their website made it easy to choose and I watched for about 2 weeks before making a choice. I was also going to sell a 2013 Corvette and their offer was just about exactly my asking price plus I realized an extra $1800 in tax savings as when you trade a car that you've already paid taxes on you only pay sales tax on the difference. So I actually got $31.1K for the Corvette instead of the $30K I would have asked. They delivered my Porsche and picked up the Vette at the same time. I signed a few papers, very easy.
The only major issue was a Crack in the windshield. The delivery man noticed it before I did and 6 days later Safelite came out and installed a new windshield. All in all a great experience. Another plus is a 30 day 4K warranty in case there is something major wrong. It's not a lot but it's more than you will get buying a used car from an individual or most dealers. So far the car is better than I expected. No haggling, no dealer **, no having to hang up on all the stupid calls you get trying to sell a car on Craig's List. The whole Carvana experience was a big surprise and I recommend highly. I cannot comment on their financing or insurance as I paid the difference in cash and use my own insurance. This is certainly the best experience I have ever had buying a car.

I heard about Carvana from a friend and I’m never going back to the old way of going to a dealership and waiting for hours to get a car!! This process was seamless. From me first putting in my information and getting pre-approved. To me being able to search and save my favorite cars. To me then deciding to get a car and receiving the exact payment amount. To the purchasing process which only took half an hour!! The entire thing was great and then I was able to add my own insurance to the car and schedule my delivery date and time!! Carvana provided the car fax and full details of the car and I never had that “salesperson” pressure that you get when you go to a dealership!!
I was notified by Carvana via text and email every step of the way!! They did a 100 point check of the vehicle before it arrived and they stick to their word regarding the 7-day money back guarantee and limited 100 day warranty. I will say, that you should definitely purchase one of their extended warranties when getting the vehicle because it came in handy for me.
Upon arrival of my vehicle, I drove it and noticed that the brakes had a little grinding/rumbling. I asked the delivery guy to see and he said they looked ok from a visual check but he could feel what I meant when he drove it. He said he would make a note in the system and I could utilize my warranty to get new brakes. I immediately scanned the warranty code and found a Carvana repair shop. I called and the owner said to bring the car in and they would do a full check of the car and brakes.
I brought the vehicle in the next day and they found that it did need new brakes and there were a few other issues that needed to be addressed. They contacted the warranty company for authorization and within a day they called me and said that the authorization was approved, they were ordering the parts and the tire, and I could bring the car back to get fixed. They did all the work and the car runs like it’s brand new now!! For once, I had a warranty that actually adhered to what it said it would!! I’m super happy about that. I’m also happy that I took it to the repair shop because even though it’s a 2021 vehicle you never know if there are issues!! Overall the entire process was flawless and I am definitely recommending Carvana for all!!
Purchasing Tips are:1. Make sure you purchase the extended warranty because the limited warranty they give you doesn’t allow for certain Issues (such as brakes) with the car.
2. Take the car to the Carvana approved repair shop before your 7-days are up so you know if you are keeping the car or returning it.
3. Enjoy the easiest buying process ever from the luxury of your own home!!
I will continue to use Carvana for all my future purposes and have already spread the word to my friends and family!!

Most of my experience went well. But a few days after delivery, my one fob provided had one stiletto key would not fit the lock on the driver door. And it wouldn't fit the two locks on the back seats either. Six days later I took the car to the Arlington Cadillac dealer. They made me 2 fobs for $700, and after paying I discovered I now had 3 stiletto keys that won't fit my car's door lock. I used the chat with my Carvana in my account and was referred to a specialist. After I spoke to the specialist, I was told bluntly that they could not help. I made sure she understood that this car came with non working stiletto key when it was delivered. She said she understood me, but could not help with my key issue. A month later I had routine service at the Arlington Cadillac dealer and gave them written instruction to make a key from my VIN or rekey the door locks.
When I picked my car up they completely ignored the key request. Now that dealer is closed. The Fort Worth Cadillac dealer would not return my calls when I asked for their help. A few month later I made a service request to rekey my cars from a Lock and Safe company in Fort Worth. The tech that came to my home said he could reset the system, but could not rekey the door after all. Three months ago I found a Cadillac customer support number. And they were able to convince the local Cadillac dealer to make a key from my VIN and then rekey the door. I contacted Carvana, in late September, and asked for a reimbursement for my key service. I was instructed to fill out a claim form. My claim form said I would get an answer within 3 days. I'm still waiting. I think it odd the door key would not fit. Was my car wrecked or repaired with another door? I think my 100-day Cavana warranty should pay for it since I did report it within one week.

Carvana made my experience of selling my Corvette a good one. I accepted the Carvana offer for my car online and provided the information requested and set up an appointment for pickup. As advertised, the process was rather simple. The Carvana driver, who was professional and treated me as a person and not just a number, loaded up my Corvette, I signed the required documents, and he showed me electronic verification that the process of initiating payment to my bank took place. I had the deposit in my bank the next day. Based on my experience, I would recommend Carvana. I was happy to sell my Corvette simply and efficiently without the hassle of dealing with traditional car dealers or potential customers who might not be trustworthy.

I was trying to sell my Jeep Gladiator to get my wife a new vehicle and out of curiosity I tried to see the price of my vehicle on Carmax and Carvana. Carvana was offering a slightly better deal for me so I went ahead with them. Let me tell you, the best and smoothest car selling experience of my life! I put all the details and it gave an amount.. I am a responsible vehicle owner and I keep my cars nice! But still I made the truck shine before going there and I was literally done in 10 mins!!! I was hoping there is gonna be a lot more questions and what not but nah, they took the keys, inspected the vehicle, drove around and we were done! Once again I can’t emphasize enough on the ease to sell my car. This has made me go back to them for a used car purchase. I hate haggling at a dealership and I will admit that I’m not good with negotiations so something like carvana is my way to go!!

So I have purchased two vehicles from Carvana, and found the purchasing part of the company fine, but when my son totaled one of the vehicles in July 2023, here it is October and I am still haggling with Bridgecrest/Carvana about getting my overpayment refunded to me. The overpayment is around $1300 and the car was salvaged due to it being totaled, but the overpayment is my money. I was told by Carvana that they dont have anything to do with Bridgecrest, however I can log into Carvana website and see my loan details including the loan # and payments.
Bridgecrest customer service is all outsourced overseas with those who struggle with English but use annoying customer service prompts as "I understand", I apologize, etc., and everytime they say, please call back in 5 days and we should have an answer. Here it is almost 3 months after the accident and I still have not been refunded. I have tried escalating to the manager, etc, but all say the same thing that they are emailing the finance department to determine what my refund should be. I will never use nor recommend Carvana simply based on this interaction.

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

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

I'll preface my review with the fact that I pre-ordered my car, which means that I ordered it before they actually had the vehicle in stock. That being said, the online experience was amazing. I was able to find the vehicle I wanted, obtain financing, and even insure the vehicle all in one place with no hassle. All the terms were well laid out and everything was easy to understand. I also purchased an extended care plan which was affordable and also made available during the buying process.
After purchasing the car, I had a couple of questions. I initially asked the company's customer service chatbot, Sebastian, but the stock answers it had were unable to answer my questions. Upon being connected with a human CS advocate, I received pretty much the same kind of answers I had received from the chatbot, but instead of the courtesy coded into the chatbot, I was made to feel stupid to the point I ended up apologizing for being unable to communicate my question clearly (and I am not inarticulate). In the end, I just thanked the advocate and searched for the information I needed elsewhere. I finally got it through a phone call with yet another advocate who understood the questions immediately and gave me my answers without issue.
Picking up the car was a mixed experience. I had to get a ride nearly 90 miles to the nearest pickup center (which I didn't mind). When I got there, the advocate was probably one of the nicest people I've ever met. He was genuinely amazing. He was very courteous, very knowledgeable, and extremely patient with all my questions - I didn't feel rushed or like he was trying to get me out of there as quickly as he could. The advocate walked me through the entire process, explaining not only what needed to be done, but how and why where applicable. He went over all the details of the financing, 7 day return period, warranty, and care plan. He made sure I understood all of it. He answered even more questions. (I know I ask a lot of questions.)
After the paperwork was squared away, I was given the token for the "vending machine". My car came down and that part of it was novel and interesting. They had placed a huge blue bow on the hood which was a really nice touch, but having been sitting in a glass walled tower in Texas temperatures, the bow was actually starting to melt (I had a good laugh about it - no adhesives were involved and it came right off). Then came the inspection process...
The inspection process did *not* go as well as I'd hoped. Carvana had detailed a few imperfections and posted photos of them on their website. All of them were cosmetic and I was okay with them. I discovered, however, that in addition to the things listed, there was another, more serious issue. I reported this to the advocate and he said the warranty would cover getting it fixed - or I didn't have to accept the car that day.
I knew that being able to secure transportation back to the pickup center would be problematic so I decided to get it fixed elsewhere under the warranty. I drove the car home, using nearly 90 of the 400 covered miles under the return policy. Then it got expensive. I had some issues with finding the right repair facility with the warranty company (which isn't Carvana's fault, but they do choose who warrants the vehicles) because they recommended companies who don't even do the kind of work I needed. After finding one that actually did, the nearest one was 73 miles away.
When I got to the repair facility, they found that the lower control arm bushings in the suspension were beginning to split. The warranty covered that, as well. They also discovered that the car was due for a major service that the dealership hadn't performed. The warranty doesn't cover maintenance, so within a week, I'm having to pay $1083.14 out of pocket to get the car squared away.
The repair facility said I'd have to return the next day when they got the parts or leave it. Again, I can't reasonably be expected to leave it, so in total, for both trips, I had to travel 292 miles. With the 86 miles I had to drive home originally, I have 22 miles left before I have to start paying for mileage to return it. Considering I actually had to use the car for my own errands, I was already over the limit. Last but not least, one of the features listed on the website is actually not available for the car I got. When I called to register for the service, I found that it had been discontinued on 3 different models. Mine was one of them. In summary:
•The online shopping experience was very convenient and easy.•The online automated support was limited and, in this case, unhelpful.
•The online human support was mildly insulting.
•The in-person human customer service is off the charts amazing.
•The car had defects not listed when shopping
•The online listing listed features that were unavailable for the vehicle.
•The car required servicing that could have reasonably been expected of the dealer that cost me over a thousand dollars out of pocket less than a week after purchase.

Outstanding Car Buying Experience - 5 Stars! I recently had the pleasure of purchasing a 2016 Lexus GS350 through Carvana, and I can't express how impressed I am with the entire process. From start to finish, Carvana delivered an outstanding car buying experience that exceeded my expectations. Here's why I'm giving them 5 stars: User-Friendly Website: Carvana's website is incredibly user-friendly and intuitive. I could easily browse through their extensive inventory, filter my search, and find detailed information about each vehicle. The high-quality photos and 360-degree tours allowed me to get a comprehensive view of the car I was interested in.
No-Hassle Pricing: One of the standout features of Carvana is their transparent and no-haggle pricing. The price you see is the price you pay, and it's competitive with the market. This eliminates the stress and uncertainty of traditional dealership negotiations. Comprehensive Vehicle Information: Carvana provides detailed vehicle information, including a comprehensive CARFAX report, service history, and any imperfections on the car's body. This level of transparency is impressive and builds trust with the buyer. Exceptional Customer Service: Throughout the entire process, Carvana's customer service was top-notch. The team was responsive, knowledgeable, and always ready to answer my questions. They made the purchase process stress-free.
Picking up my car from the Car vending machine was an AWESOME experience and made it so very memorable. I loved getting my Big coin and putting it in the vending machine. My husband videoed the whole experience. 7-Day Return Policy: Carvana offers a 7-day return policy, giving you peace of mind if you change your mind or discover any issues with the vehicle. This policy underscores their commitment to customer satisfaction.
In conclusion, my experience with Carvana was nothing short of OUTSTANDING. "Carvana Ya Wanna!!!" They have redefined the car buying process with their online platform, transparent pricing, and exceptional customer service. I highly recommend Carvana to anyone in the market for a new vehicle. They've earned every one of these 5 stars! I am a very Happy owner of my new car! I would buy from Carvana again. My car is perfect! And I Love how I received a Carvana Coin in my car for keeps! The whole experience from searching to the day I picked up my car from the vending machine was absolutely Amazing! Thank you Carvana! Sally S.

I had to help my elderly sister-in-law sell her car that she was no longer driving. Frankly, I wasn't looking forward to dealing with posting an ad and dealing with people coming to look at it. So I gave Carvana a try. After inputting my information I got a basic quote that was well within the KBB estimates for trading in a car. After checking out a couple of competitor sites, it seems like the best option, so I proceeded. After uploading the required documentation, I got my final quote and set up the appointment. One of the factors that favored Carvana was that for an additional charge, they would come up to pick up the car and finalize the paperwork. Since we're an hour away from their location and I really couldn't take my elderly sister-in-law down there, it was the perfect solution.
The day before the appointment I was able to complete the paperwork and pre-sign all the documents ahead of time. Their driver kept me information of his estimated arrival time and arrived well within the appointment window. He reviewed the car, gave it one final check to make sure we hadn't left anything in it, handed us the check and that was it. If I ever have to sell a car again privately, I'll certainly use Carvana again.

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

Their website appears to make it very easy and seamless to sell your vehicle to them, that is not the way it is. The price offered was really good. I would even admit to being above average. Their payment process was my concern. After reading some recent reviews of bounced checks and problems getting paid, I requested a cashier's check or to have the individual doing the pick-up meet me at a local branch of their bank. I wanted to verify that the funds were available (the check was good) before Carvana transported my vehicle away, remember you are signing your title away to them at the time of pick-up.
I contacted customer support and was told that Carvana doesn't do that, no cashier's check or verification of funds. I would also be suspect of receiving payment directly to a bank account a few days after they have taken your vehicle to one of their locations. They most definitely need a better and more customer friendly way of paying for vehicles that they are purchasing. I just did not want the aggravation and/or headache(s) of being paid later.

Before leaving Carvana with my new car, the person bringing it out to me said there was a cosmetic issue on the driver's seat, it had a rip in it that was not disclosed. She proceeded to submit a ticket for the seat to be repaired. After she submitted the ticket I noticed that the battery light was on. She checked to make sure it was charging and it acted as it was but she said to take it to a Firestone location to have them check it out. Firestone is one of their “Preferred” repair facilities. We went straight there and they checked it and said nothing was wrong, the light would go off soon.
Well it didn’t go off, so after a week we decided to take it to a local repair facility that we know and trust. They determined it was the voltage regulator so the alternator needed to be replaced. The warranty approved the repair but I had to pay $350 out of pocket to have it done local. I may have went to their “Preferred” repair facility but the closest one to me is over an hour away and they would still require me to pay $100.
There was an issue with the vehicle before I left Carvana’s parking lot, they should have waived the $350 fee. The seat has yet to be fixed because the dealer no longer carries those seat covers but supposedly the warranty department is searching for the cover. They said there will be no fee to me since the ticket was placed before leaving Carvana, not sure I believe that but here’s hoping. So if you buy from Carvana check EVERYTHING and if something is wrong make them submit a ticket on the spot. Never again will I buy a vehicle from them.

Overall, I am satisfied with my experience purchasing from Carvana. I was a little hesitant based on the poor reviews I had read. While overall content and found my dream car, I would only give 3/5 stars for a few reasons. Their in-house financing is based on unrealistically high-interest rates that do not seem to be based on personal credit score and the fact that they are unwilling to negotiate on trade-in or sale price.
They also offered me less than my payoff amount on trade-in, compared to other dealers who offered several thousand dollars more. After purchase, I discovered that only 2 of the 3 remotes worked for the vehicle, and none of the 3 backup keys operated the backup door lock. The convertible wind deflector was missing from its storage location--while I understand that accessories do not often come with used vehicles, this particular accessory comes with the new vehicle purchase and has a dedicated storage location behind the rear seats. So I would expect that a more permanent part would come with the vehicle.

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

A few years ago I had a great experience with Carvana. Their cars and service was great. Unfortunately it seems that their customer service and car quality has dropped significantly. I tried to purchase one minivan from them and the car clearly smelled like cigarettes. I used their return policy and got a new minivan. This time the smell was even worse. They even tried to mask it with a car air freshener.
When I tried to reach out and explain the situation they didn't offer any solutions. I had to pay about $2,000 to get this ashtray smelling car delivered and then they only offered $100 to compensate for this terrible experience. I asked for my money back and then they insisted that I try to get another car from them. This entire process took hours of my day and Carvana showed no empathy or responsibility owning up to their mistake. I highly recommend against using Carvana to buy your next car.

Ok so overall, the Carvana experience was okay. Selling my vehicle to them was a breeze. No complaints there. The vehicle I purchased there was fantastic and I absolutely love it. Now to why they lost 2 stars. If I was either just selling or just buying or even financing with Carvana it would have been seamless. Where the issue came in was in bringing in a third party lender. The training with the "advocates" is not consistent. Many didn't even understand how to work with another bank and figure out the basic math of the trade. When my bank (who was the same for both my trade-in and the new vehicle) created a draft letter minus the amount that was owed on my previous it took 12 hours of phone calls over 2 days to connect my bank (EECU) to Carvana. My banker was beyond shocked to see how no one understood what they were doing. I almost cancelled the whole thing.
The reason I did that was because I have excellent credit and work with our bank via business. And they could beat Carvana by 2%. So overall it was worth the work to save $200 a month in payments. But it's not necessary. And this could easily be fixed with some much needed training for the advocates. The only other issue I had was getting hung up on by advocates that didn't know what they were doing so they cancelled the call. Which became super frustrating after waiting 45 min to an hour on hold. But this new truck is kinda like having a baby. It's just so beautiful and wonderful that I can't remember the pain of it getting here...almost.

I purchased a 2015 Chevy Spark from Carvana. I scheduled a delivery WEEKS in advance and then 45 minutes before my time window was up, the delivery was randomly rescheduled. I had to call to even figure out why, no one called or alerted me as to why this was being delayed. Fast forward to my rescheduled delivery date - I chose the 5-8 pm delivery window. Considering this vehicle had ALREADY been delayed once, you'd think they would prioritize delivering it to me as soon as they could. Nope, I was the last scheduled delivery that night at almost 8pm and getting my vehicle delivered in the dark.
It was delivered with not even a half tank of gas (really, couldn't fill it up after delaying me an entire week???) and the key FOB battery had burned out so the doors and electric weren't working properly. I had to purchase my own battery for the key FOB. Something that EASILY could have been remedied and checked before delivery. I will be letting everyone know to stay far away from Carvana after this terrible experience and customer service.

STAY AWAY FROM CARVANA! It's been the most stressful month I have ever had in my life. The website is really well done and you think it'll be easy and fast to get your car.. It will not. Their customer service is incredibly bad, every time you talk with a different person and everyone tells you something different. It took me more than one month to be able to pay them via my lienholder, they make unreasonable requests with 24-hour deadline out of nowhere. It was so stressful! They do not answer calls from lienholders, they cannot do 3-way calls with the bank, they do not accept wire transfer (this they told me after they gave me their banking info!!!!). And every time they tell you that if you miss the deadline you'll have to start all over again.
And it is not the end, because once you finally are on the day of the pick-up they call you 2 hours before the appointment to say that they have to do "extra check ups" and thus they have to postpone the delivery by at least one week! When I asked for clarifications, you know what they told me on the phone? "You know, unexpected things happen in life". And they ended the call...And it's not over! Because when I finally got my car: 1) the passenger door did not close, both automatically and manually. It was on Friday at 6pm, so when I noticed this they were closed and I had to leave the car open the whole night, after which I had to pay $640 out of my pocket to pay for a weekend repair, given that all the places accepting the coverage offered by Carvana were closed.
And the low-pressure tire light went on, but they told me "We checked and everything is fine, you have just to go to a repair shop and ask them to turn off the light". You know what? After one week I had a flat tire!!! And I had to pay $50 because the flat tire is not covered by their warranty!!! DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH CARVANA!! And I could go on and on with problems, it has been absolutely a bad month because of them, even the manager at the lienholder company was stressed because of them!!

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

Absolute worst experience EVER! Please keep in mind that I DO write both good and bad reviews a lot but this review was a MUST! I ordered my car online and was given a 9/1/23 expected delivery date. On 8/31, I was informed that upon transport, the side mirror had been knocked off and needed to be replaced, new delivery date was 9/8. On 9/7, I was informed that the car had not yet been repaired and that the new date was 9/14. When I FINALLY received my car, there was a HUGE scratch on the driver's side door, obviously from when the mirror was knocked off that clearly had been tried to be covered up.
Carvana surprisingly did agree later to cover the cost of repair on the scratch after MANY phone calls and photos. After a full inspection, I was also told that there was seepage visible on the transmission (a very small leak). Did Carvana agree to pay for that being only the 4th day I'd had the car??.. Of course not! Unless I sent them a live video of the transmission fluid literally coming out and hitting the ground, they would not cover the $1,100 repair!
Carvana is a joke! They hide things about their cars, hoping their customers don't find out. Their customer service is atrocious, and they love to pass you off to the next person because nobody seems to know remotely what they're doing. Notice how you can't write a review on their website unless they send you an invite to do so??!! I'm returning the car but writing this to hopefully save someone a huge headache and a bunch of time!

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

From start to finish, my experience with Carvana was smooth and professional. I was looking for a place to sell my vehicle and felt I had been given a bit of a runaround by a dealership who had reached out to me to buy my car. After that experience, the many Carvana advertisements and commercials I had seen came to my mind and I thought I would check out the website and see what kind of experience they offered. I found everything to be straightforward and user friendly.
After filling out the requested information, I quickly received a quote for my vehicle. And in all the steps that followed, that initial quote amount never waivered or "found a reason" to lower it. I was even prepared for a lowered quote when the Carvana specialist arrived at my home to see the car in person and pick it up. Didn't happen. Carvana was good on their word from start to finish. Honestly, it was the best experience I've ever had with buying or selling a vehicle, and if I ever need to buy or sell again, I can guarantee that Carvana will be my first stop when I shop.

I began my experience this time with purchasing a 2016 Audi Q? The day before I was supposed to have my vehicle delivered I received an email informing me my purchase was delayed A MONTH due to delivery issues. However after speaking with a representative over the phone, I was told it was mechanical issues that caused the delay. So I decided that was a no go!! I went online to purchase my 2nd choice, which I still really liked. After purchasing and setting up my delivery date, I received a message that delivery was also going to be late but only about a week this time, so I went with it.
I'm in contact about receiving a refund for the 1st vehicle purchase...a delivery fee of $300. At first I was told this was non-refundable, which I would understand if it was my fault. But...finally the representative got permission to allow the refund. I was told I should have the funds back in my account the following week. If not, then to make contact again. I waited until that Friday and STILL not refund. I spoke again to someone who apologized for the delay and thought we had it all worked out. I was told I should get funds the following week and that it was approved. Almost a week later, I get notification from my bank that they cannot take the refund because of how Carvana tried to send the funds back. I forwarded email to Carvana and this is the response....
"I apologize that we were unable to issue a refund to your Chime bank account. I have submitted a refund check request to have your refund mailed to the address we have on file for you. The review process for the refund check request can take 7-10 business days, and once approved, the check is mailed via USPS which can take 10-15 business days. Then you’ll receive your check in the mail. Should you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to our Customer Experience Team at 800-333-4554."
Wow!! Just wow!!! What a nightmare!! So up to 25 days upon what I've already waited...about 3 weeks...so we are talking at least 5 weeks total up to 6 or 7 weeks...This is not the way you treat a customer. On another note, the vehicle was not cleaned before delivering to me...It was supposed to be detailed. There was definite evidence of a dog owner before me...A couple of places where the dog chewed or scratched in the back...along with pet danger and hair. The guy that delivered it said he agreed that it had not been cleaned.
I love the vehicle...more than I thought I would. It is past the days to return and I started having issues with the vehicle shifting into gear. It almost stalled on my the other day in traffic. I started to push on the gas and it would go and then it happened again last night in traffic. I guess I'm going to have to pay a $100 deductible now to get it looked at by someone (in network). I was promised by a very sweet representative a $100 something for my trouble with the cleaning of the vehicle...Still haven't seen that.
The day they delivered my vehicle, I got a message first thing that morning that he was on his way and would be there in about 45 minutes to an hour. Cool!!! Only the address was wrong. Another thing I thought I had taken care of from a back and forth email/message conversation I had. NOPE!! Still wrong address. I was told the address which I thought it was going to be delivered to is out of their delivery range. So I had to meet them at the address they had or we would need to reschedule delivery. My advice...If you can find someone else to buy your vehicle from online...Try them first...Not carvana...Not until they get it together!!! I purchased another vehicle from them years ago and the experience was spot on. I also sold that vehicle back to them a few years later. Great experience!! But not this experience. :(

But the lack of better warranty options can leave you feeling like your tail is hanging in the wind a little bit. I like to be secure in my decisions and know that my major purchases are protected.

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

I attempted to get a voucher or discount from Carvana but they said - too bad, accept the vehicle or reject it, you have 7 days to decide. NO negotiations! They lied and falsely advertised the vehicle but that being said, I had the choice as to keep it or not. In the end, the vehicle was in such outstanding condition, I kept the vehicle. When doing business with this company, buyer beware!

After providing the required details of my car (VIN, mileage, assessment of the car's condition, etc.), Carvana gave me an offer for my 2020 MINI convertible that was about $3000 more than what any of my local car dealerships offered. Using their website, I made an appointment to bring the car to their Philadelphia location.
When I brought the car to the appointment, a Carvana rep inspected the car. Because the condition of the car matched how I had described it - no dents, super-clean interior, no after-market add-ons, the mileage I reported was accurate - Carvana paid me exactly what they'd offered. The drop-off, visual inspection, and paperwork took less than 30 minutes and we were on our way. Thanks for a great selling experience, Carvana!

This is the 2nd vehicle I have purchased through Carvana, and both times it has been smooth and simple - So much better than going to a dealership.

First off, the online car buying process was exceptional! I love that I did not have to haggle prices or speak to a sleazy dealer. I was able to quickly choose the car I wanted and within 20 minutes, I had everything ready to schedule a pick-up time. That brings me to the downside, the in-person bit (the reason for three stars). I scheduled an appointment to pick up my car on a Friday at 12:15 pm. I showed up a few minutes early and went inside, where I was confused. There was no one at the front desk (or any employees around), there were about 5 other people in the room waiting, and we stood around for about 10 minutes before I saw an employee (but they were talking to another customer).
Finally, after waiting 20 minutes, an employee came over to us and "checked us in" before walking away again. The several people in front of us looked like they had been waiting a long time too. Eventually, after the other people had gotten their cars, a very nice employee came over and apologized about the wait (but he didn't explain why there was a wait) and began giving us the paperwork and explaining the process. Once the employee came over, we were out of there within the next 15 minutes with my new car (the time was 1:30 pm; an hour and fifteen minutes after my scheduled appointment time). The vending machine was cool, I guess.
All in all, it was an alright experience, but it was a good thing I was not on a tight schedule. If we had to schedule an appointment at a specific time to pick up the car, they should have been ready for us. I understand there might have been circumstances they couldn't control, but it was frustrating that we weren't informed about what was happening. Again, the employees were super nice and helpful, it just took a long time. This might not be everyone's experience (maybe other locations are different?), but I am letting y'all know. :)

We purchased a vehicle from Carvana and two months afterwards, while we were on vacation, the AC fan went out. This was corrected with a bypass pulley until we reached our destination, at which time we took the vehicle into one of their approved mechanics. While there, they had to replace the AC fan, replace the battery, and repair the entire radiator system. In doing so, they used a sealant that later led to the head gaskets being damaged beyond repair. When the head gaskets finally did blow, we were still within the three month warranty, but a hundred miles or so over our allowed miles. Carvana refused to help with repairs, but a rep said he would start a delayed buy back. Two weeks later, we still had not heard back from them. So, I reported them to the BBB. They refused to work with us through the BBB.
Then we were going to bite the bullet and get the car repaired. We were quoted $8,000 on top of the $17,000 we had already paid them (we paid in full for the vehicle before it broke down). Now we just want to sell the car, but we've been told that A. We need to get it running in order to get the tags put on it to sell it, and B. That we were offered an extended warranty, which is a blatant lie on their part as we were never offered this. A year later and we're still trying to work with them to make it right without being litigious.
This has been the hardest lesson my family has ever learned as it has taken a massive toll on us mentally and has provided a massive inconvenience, on top of being devastating financially. I know a lot of people have had positive experiences with this company, but they have caused nothing but stress, heartache, and financial ruin for my family. I suggest they are investigated for fraudulent practices as well as we have caught them in a few different lies trying to worm out of making it right for my family.

After deciding to purchase a vehicle and compared and contrasted the offers from Carvana, I moved forward with the purchase. All the boxes checked, all the documents uploaded, money paid through my bank, delivery set, I receive a notice that I missed a deadline. I reviewed all deadlines set forth and met them. The proof of insurance deadline was to be a few days before delivery so I was in contact with my insurance provider getting this handled early so I could upload and have no problems. I went to the Carvana site to get the VIN number and find the car had been cancelled and another person was purchasing it! I was so shocked! I went to my bank website and sure enough, the money had already been paid to them.
I called Carvana and after a 30 min wait I spoke to a person in underwriting who said I was the one who cancelled, but I hadn't! Then she said I missed the insurance deadline and I told her the deadline was dated the date of the delivery so I hadn't missed it. She then told me she would transfer me to her Supervisor. After waiting another 30mins I speak with a man who I have to repeat all I have already said and he says I need to speak with an underwriter. Huh? He said he was just an agent.
I get transferred again, to another underwriter who says be patient because she is working from home and there may be some delays with her computer. I go through the whole situation again asking why it was cancelled to which she says she can't tell me why but looked on the site and tells me the car had been pulled from the site, saying something must have been wrong with it or had more issues then they knew prior. Don't they check the cars out first??? I tell her I am so uncomfortable with the situation, disappointed, and angry that I just want my money back. She tells me it is still pending- that they haven't received it yet but she will email the finance department to request the refund. I tell her there were 2 withdrawals - 1 for the down-payment and 1 for the delivery and to make sure I get them both back.
I also ask that I would like an email from her regarding the discussion as confirmation. She tells me she cannot email me. So I ask for the finance department's phone number which she tells me they do not talk to customers. ??? So now I am sitting and waiting for 5-10 business days to see if I get my money back or up for more problems. Guess what then pops up on my phone - your car you wanted is now available again! Ummm, NO! Does anyone at Carvana know what they are doing?

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

Overall the process was A LOT easier than visiting a car dealership. I chose the car I wanted, compared a couple, traded-in my car, paid the downpayment in less than 30 minutes all online. I set it for a few days for pickup. I had a 10 am pickup appointment for my new car, so I figured that since they had all they needed, I would be in and out within 30 minutes. I was there for almost an hour and the vehicle didn’t get cleaned the way it was supposed to have been but it was no biggie since I declined to wait longer for it to be cleaned. There were no floor mats and I was told they would be here in a month. I did have the opportunity to see my car come out of the vending machine, got a token to take home with me, and love my new car!

In June of 2023 I purchased a 2021 Toyota from Carvana. Carvana has a 7 day return policy if you do not like the car - I thought everything was fine until about 3 weeks later when it rained and my back car door started to fill up with water! Carvana also has a warranty through SilverRock that if something happens that they will cover the damage for a 100 dollar deductible if you bring to a preferred mechanic. I brought it to one of their mechanics who immediately said that there was damage done to the back door and that it had been repaired improperly. Carvana had provided a CarFax report that showed no damage was done to the car so their CarFax is not worth anything! SilverRock then denied my claim for a new door as they said it was a "cosmetic issue".
How is a door filling up with water cosmetic?? That's ok I thought - I will contact Carvana and they will surely stand behind their car. Well think again- I went round and round with Spencer who kept repeating the fact that Silverock was their trusted partner and then finally got on with someone from their "leadership team" named Stephanie who actually implied that I caused the damage to the door and that they can't do anything to make it right because the seventh day had past. She said it wasn't their fault that the CarFax report didn't show that there was an accident! So I guess I have to pay $1800 for a new door to get replaced or when winter comes the water will soak inside and freeze causing further damage. Carvana did nothing for me when it came to this problem and could not care less. Do not EVER buy a car from Carvana!

I ordered a car on Carvana. Paid upfront, of course. Then, the day before delivery date, I get a message that it was delayed by a week. Same thing repeats over and over. Eventually, after a month of this, I had to simply cancel the order and buy a car from a local dealer instead. The most frustrating thing was, besides always getting notified about the delay the day right before the scheduled delivery, was there was no tracking information on the car at all. The customer service representatives at Carvana could not tell me where the car was, or what was causing the delay, or even if the car existed at all or if this was all a scam. But each time, they would swear that it would be on time at the next delivery date. Which it never was. How can a business ship something as valuable as a car without tracking it at all? It's inconceivable.
Oh, and of course, they also made me buy insurance for it upfront, and registered it in my name immediately, which made canceling the insurance policy and getting a refund for a car that I never even saw was a significant pain, involving hours spent on hold and being given the run-around by insurance company representatives. Carvana borders on a scam. If it cannot guarantee delivery, doesn't track its shipments and refuses to provide any information about months-long delays, it should be legally prohibited from operating as a business.

I wish I'd seen these reviews before I decided to buy a car from Carvana. I did buy one and I arranged to have it delivered because I do not drive in Louisville, KY. Everything went fine until my delivery date. The day before, I got an email saying there was a problem with their haulers. I should call to arrange another date. I spoke to a very rude woman who informed me that I had to understand their problem. She said I had to call the 800 number to get another delivery date. I called the number, waited and waited, finally got Tyler. I explained my problem, he said that he was in another department and then suddenly, I was cut off. He'd transferred my call without telling me. I spoke to Joanne, who was very professional and helpful. She gave me another delivery date, which was yesterday.
I then spoke to Evan, the manager at the Louisville hub, who assured me that I would get the car on Thursday, Aug. 31. Then, I was bombarded with emails and texts asking me to complete various forms, that, it turns out according to Jacob, my online advocate, were unnecessary because I'd already paid for the vehicle. Anyway, yesterday came and went. No car. I called the hub yesterday around 7:40 p.m. Kaylee told me that the hauler had gone home sick at 3. She was surprised that no one had contacted me. I called this morning. Spoke to Greg. I said I expected to have the car delivered today. Nope. Not going to happen, he said. Also, no apology. I called the 800 number. What a joke. Forget actually speaking to someone, let alone getting help. Carvana has demonstrated that they are incompetent and possibly a scam.

I thought buying a car online would be easier than at a dealership. Boy, was I wrong! at least with regards to Carvana. I placed my order over the weekend and selected a delivery date for the following Wednesday. Awesome! I thought. Then at about 9:30 on Monday morning I got a text from Carvana that I had until 10:45 to submit proof of insurance. But there was no way I could shop for and get new insurance in just over an hour, so I missed the deadline. I thought it wouldn't be a big deal, but turns out they cancelled the order. Someone could have bought the car I wanted right out from under me and there would have been nothing I could do. I had to re-do the order, and this time I had insurance card ready to go. I was promised a delivery for that Friday. Come Friday morning, I receive a text from Carvana again. I assumed it would be that my car was on the way, but oh no, the message informed me that my order had been cancelled due to a 'system error'.
Of course, there is absolutely no way to speak to anyone at Carvana, only chat is available. So, I jumped on a chat and was told that I had to start over from the beginning--again. And again, someone could have jumped in and bought the car I wanted right out from under me. Thankfully, that didn't happen, but instead of having my new car for the weekend, as I had planned, we had to wait until Wednesday again, a bitter pill to swallow at that point. Then, to continue the drama, Carvana sent me a message stating that they could only accept a cashier's check for my cash payment. Prior to that, I had verified my bank account on their wonderful 'system' twice, but apparently that didn't work so I had to go to the bank and get a cashier's check and submit photos of front and back.
Then, just a day before my car was to be delivered, I was informed that Carvana still had to "verify" my cashier's check with the bank. I was astounded that they waited that long! I had submitted images of the check days ago, and here we go again fighting with Carvana about their wonderful system and procedures. That's when I decided to write this review. I actually haven't received the car as of yet, but I'm hopeful it will be delivered on time because now Carvana says "if you miss your appointment, the order will be cancelled"--again. Ha!
As you can see, super frustrating, and you can never really talk to anyone. At one point I asked a person by chat if there was anyone that I could talk to on the phone, and they said "you need to know we are only online". So there you have it. If you want to deal with robots and systems that aren't well coordinated, Carvana is a great choice. I only stuck with them through this nightmare because I really wanted the particular vehicle that was only available on Carvana at the time and was actually a good deal. Otherwise, I would have ran away as fast as I could. I can only say that my Carvana experience has truly been terrible. Buying from a dealership is a walk in the park compared to buying from Carvana.

Took over a week for them to approve paperwork I sent three times. The paperwork was the same, it wasn't until I called that they realized it was the correct paperwork. When the delivery date to my house finally came, I was contacted and told I had two options: 1 make the 2-hour drive and pick it up myself, or 2. Cancel the deal. Was told there was a problem transporting the vehicle because of the emergency brake, yet, I paid for it to be transported from Arizona, I believe. It didn't seem to have an emergency brake problem then. Of course now I am the one having to determine if there is indeed a brake problem. They tell me there is a 100-day warranty and even gave me a name of a local shop to look at it which will cost me $100. Problem is no one in my town uses the shop where their 100-day warranty is offered. The whole process is extremely slow. Won't use them again.

I sold my car to Carvana and it was the most pleasant experience of car buying/selling. I entered all my vehicle information online and got an offer from Carvana within minutes. Interacted with their support team on the whole process and it was surprisingly very pleasant. No haggling, no waster hours at the dealership, no stress selling. Simple process, you enter the details, accept the quote (if you like), upload required documents, schedule a pickup date and time and Voila! The Carvana agent was super friendly and was dot on time. I will definitely think of Carvana the next time I want to buy/sell a car. Best, MAK

So this is a general rundown of my overall experience with Carvana and SilverRock. To save time I won’t even talk about the first car I got from them because I returned it within six days. (It had undisclosed damages). This review is geared towards the vehicle that I have now which I have had for a total of nine days. When I went to go pick up the Jaguar truck, I noticed three chips in the windshield. I told Carvana right then and there and they told me to call the warranty company SilverRock. SilverRock said they will not cover chips in windshields. I got this vehicle on a Wednesday, by Saturday night the engine light came on, the warranty company, SilverRock, obliged it to me, taking the vehicle to a Jaguar dealership to get inspected, they found a bevy of problems that the Warranty refuses to take care of so let’s do a quick rundown..
1 the O2 sensor went bad so it had to be replaced, and the air filters were terrible so those had to get replaced, the warranty company did cover those repairs, however, I had to rent a vehicle while they were working on my car and for the two days that was $376 out of pocket. While they were doing the inspection, they noticed that my brakes were dangerously bad, they took pictures of the brakes, sent that information into the warranty company, letting them know that it is dangerous for me to be on the road with those brakes, and the warranty company refused to pay for those repairs which come out to a total of $4800 that I have to pay out-of-pocket.
The car was advertise for $24,000, however after financing I’m paying over $56,000! Yes that’s right $56,000. Look at the pictures I attached. It’s sad that Carvana does not disclose damages during the sales process, and was even worse is after you made a sale with them they completely delete all of that information from your account so you cannot even go back and compare. However, I noticed that happening when I had the first vehicle so this time around I made sure to take a Screenshots. There was no disclosure of the chips in the windshield, body damage, or brakes being so far damaged. So for something that I thought was $24,000, I’m looking at about $60,000++. It’s very unfortunate.
What’s even more upsetting is that they chose to partner up with a warranty company that has absolutely no care. If the consumer is driving a faulty vehicle, they could ultimately kill them on the road. I traded in my SUV for this new SUV and they only offered me $309 for an SUV that has zero damage. Customer service with Carvana was great as far as the upbeat attitude of the employees, however, customer service with their warranty partner, SilverRock is a completely different story. They are rude, negligent, and overall don’t care to hold themselves or Carvana responsible for omitting details Prior to purchase.

I will not purchase another vehicle from Carvana and would not recommend Carvana to anyone. When we first approached the vehicle we noticed it was missing the side fender and there was a hole in the front of the car as a result. The field advocate didn't seem very concerned and filed a claim for the missing piece. Then after a short test drive we specifically asked our field advocate if we needed to note every issue with the vehicle. He told us no and that we should do all that from our Carvana dashboard when we got home.
When we got the vehicle home we inspected it and noticed hundreds of fine surface pits on the windshield consistent with sandstorm damage. (We thought it was just grime when we picked it up, but when we tried to clean them, they would not come off.) The hood of the vehicle also had pits and had obviously been repainted and then overbuffed. (Likely from the same sandstorm.) We immediately started a chat with Carvana who told us to file a claim but that the glass likely wouldn't be covered. We filed the claim and sure enough Carvana covered the hood but not the windshield. The people in the chat basically said glass isn't covered and to file it on insurance.
There were other issues with the vehicle as well that we didn't even bother claiming such as scratches on the windows and undisclosed small dings and scratches on the rest of the vehicle. The tinting on the front windows is also not legal for my state. Basically the outside of the vehicle was not as represented and was a major disappointment. If we had gone to a regular dealer we would have passed on the vehicle. We decided to keep the vehicle as it seems to run fine and we didn't want to go through the hassle of a return, but we feel as though Carvana pulled a "gotcha" on us. If you purchase from Carvana, inspect every inch of the vehicle at pickup including the windshield.
We apologize your vehicle arrived with more wear than anticipated. A 150-point inspection is conducted on every car to ensure that it meets our high standards and we do notate the 3-5 most prominent cosmetic blemishes.

I have use websites before to look at cars and even chose many vehicles based on what was available on the site but this is the first time I was able to complete the entire purchasing process online in less than an hour. The selection was great and what you see is what is available. No gimmicks or changes when you get to the dealership. The process at the dealership took less than 15 minutes. It was an awesome feeling getting the deal and the car you were told with no strings attached. I will use Carvana for all my future car purchases.

If you purchase a car from Carvana, make sure you refuse the car on arrival if anything is wrong with it. The Audi I ordered was black. I arrived and it was blue. Headlight was out (HID bulb), wipers needed replacing and the service alert was on the dash upon startup. I attempted to use the 45 day warranty (Silver Rock) to fix these items and was told they weren't covered. So I have to pay out of pocket just to get my NEW vehicle inspected. Terrible way to run a business.

I was somewhat skeptical about purchasing a vehicle through the internet. However, I found the process pretty simple and straightforward. I found the perfect car for my granddaughter for her 16th birthday. I was somewhat disappointed that delivery was not available as I had to drive 400 miles round trip to pick it up (also had to find someone to ride along) but the car is home!
I received a call from Carvana as soon as I purchased the car. During our discussion, I explained that the car was a 16th birthday gift. The young man asked what my granddaughters hobbies were and stated that he was going to put a care package together and have it in the car when I picked it up. Well, needless to say, I was disappointed that the "care package" was not in the car when I picked it up. Other than those two issues I would recommend Carvana as an in person alternative to purchasing a vehicle.

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

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

My search for a car brought me to Carvana and at first I was very pleased with the ease at which I was able to browse tons of cars without annoying pushy sales people. The car buying process on Carvana is extremely stress free and easy. However once you get your car I strongly advise that you proceed with caution. After driving the vehicle for approximately 50 miles I noticed some serious issues with the vehicle. While driving on the highway I noticed the vehicle would shake and pull strongly to the right. I immediately brought it to my mechanic, who I have known for years and trust. The diagnosis was very disappointing. The vehicle came New York State inspected. So I wrongly assumed everything would be OK. Apparently Carvana inspected the vehicle at one of their centers. And Apparently the vehicle was pushed through inspection.
My mechanic discovered the passenger side calibers on the front and rear locked up. Meaning the vehicle would only brake on the driver side. Extremely dangerous! The vehicle should not have passed inspection with the calibers like this. My mechanic also discovered all four rotors badly worn down and rusted. Again the vehicle should not have passed inspection with the rotors in that condition. Also he discovered leaking shock fluid. My mechanic also recommended tire balance, new brake pads and brake fluid flush. My mechanic advised in total I was looking at $2,500.worth of repairs.
I immediately contacted SilverRock, the insurance company Carvana works with, to initiate a claim. They informed me I could leave the vehicle at my mechanic's shop and pay a 200 dollar deductible or take to a shop in their network with no deductible. Why would I take it to a shop Carvana/SilverRock recommends when they clearly forced it through inspection the first time? I chose to pay the deductible and have it done by someone I know and trust. So right away I am out 200 dollars. Then SilverRock informs me that they will only cover the calibers, rotors, and brake flush. Saying they only cover "serious " issues and will not cover normal wear an tear. So, I will have to pay 1,200 dollars out of pocket to have the vehicle done right.
My mechanic recommends calibers on the driver side as well but SilverRock says it's not necessary and the leaking shock fluid is normal wear and tear. So in total I'm out 1,400 dollars. I'm extremely disappointed. Assuming the person(s) who did the inspection are not blind or are completely ignorant about inspecting vehicles the vehicle was pushed through inspection most likely in an attempt to keep costs low and maximize profit for Carvana. But at what expense? The expense of me and my safety and the safety of anyone riding in that vehicle with me. I sincerely feel by pushing the vehicle through inspection Carvana committed fraud. And therefore the policy of only fixing certain issues should be null and void.
Carvana/SilverRock should pay for everything after jeopardizing my safety in an unsafe vehicle that was not ready for street/highway travel. A vehicle that, if it was inspected correctly and honestly, would not have passed NYS vehicle inspection. If you do buy from Carvana I highly recommend you take it to a mechanic you know and trust to look it over, even if it comes inspected. I give Carvana 2 stars for the car buying process. It is extremely hassle free and easy. But I am disappointed with the apparent lack of care and detail for the vehicle itself before it is delivered to the customer. I am holding my breath and praying that after these repairs the vehicle will be fine and I'm not blindsided by another issue Carvana overlooked or worse ignored and just slapped a sticker over it and said "don't worry, everything is fine".

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

Carvana offered me $3144 over the dealer from whom I chose to buy my new car. This out weighed the sales tax savings I would’ve had with my trade-in by more than $2000.

OK first. I like the vehicle I bought. It is just what I was looking for and the price was about what I would have paid a local dealer if they had what I was after. They did get me for an exorbitant shipping fee though $1700.00. The problem is they delivered the truck and when I got in I discovered the radio doesn’t work. I also noticed a half consumed bottle of water in the armrest cup holder indicating that someone was likely working on it before they shipped it. Now for me to get this fixed, I must make an appointment to take the truck to one of the authorized service facilities that will even look at a radio problem, let them claim they can’t fix it, then wait for them to contact the warranty company and then I wait for the warranty company to approve of me making another appointment at a dealer.
Avoiding this running around is why I used Carvana in the first place. I can of course understand if something breaks or fails after I start using the car but here we are making multiple repair appointments and waiting for a vehicle I just bought and haven’t even used yet. I would not recommend buying from Carvana based on my experience.

The purchasing process and inventory choice with Carvana is very appealing. They will gladly take your money. However, if you need assistance with a change or something is wrong with the vehicle, expect to be at their mercy! A representative will call you back quickly if you need help, but in my experience nothing got resolved without me calling back multiple times, and reexplaining the issue to a completely different Carvana representative only to be told that they will look into it and call you back. They will not call you back. They will also not allow you to speak with the same person you spoke with before. They will not allow you to speak with a manager. Their scripted speech just leaves you in circles, hoping that someone will actually do their job and help out. There is no accountability from their customer service representatives. I've been waiting on a refund for almost 2 weeks!
Additionally, don't trust the vehicle pictures. They have in small print that all cosmetics accessories may not be included, but they will still uses them in the photos to entice you. You will also have no idea what cosmetic accessories will not be included until the vehicle shows up. Admittingly, I was so excited when the vehicle showed up that I didn't even notice that the cosmetic accessories were missing until THE CARVANA TOWTRUCK DRIVER told me it was missing them and to reach out to Carvana to get them. I did call and they told me that they were not responsible for accessories that don't show up. They said they would reach out to the Carvana truck driver and get his statement about the missing part and investigate into their pictures of the vehicle. They also said they would call me back in a couple of days with a report. Guess what? They didn't call back. I called again, spoke with someone else, who told me it wasn't their fault.
Long story short, go to a dealership. Look at the vehicle, drive it, work with a human in person. It might be more intimidating than buying a car online, but at least at a dealership there is some employee accountability. At a dealership the vehicle you buy will have all the accessories you see. A manager will be available at a dealership and if there are any issues with the vehicle you have a physical location and human to help resolve it. At Carvana you are just a piece in their algorithm and as long as you have no issues with the purchase I assume it is very simple, but you will be highly disappointed if you need to rely on Carvana for help with an issue during the process or after the sale.

Overall, I had a great experience with Carvana and I have recommended it to others. I received a very fair price for my car without any of the negotiation hassle. My car had a fair amount of damage and I thought I would get very little, but they were able to pay me quite a bit and I left feeling good about the deal. In addition, I was able to be in and out in about 15 minutes for the in person section. Preparing to sell my car through Carvana took about 30 minutes total and it was all online. I was a little nervous because I walked out the door with a large check and I wasn't sure it could really be that easy. It was!!

Bad brakes. Bad alternator. Bad radio. Bad tires. Bad return policy. Bad warranty. Bad customer service. Bad brake switch. Engine light on. Remote batteries are dead. Bad vehicle performance. No power. Poor handling. I'm going to call this post, "Cursed". A couple of years ago, my brother bought a car from Carvana, and he had a great experience. So, I figured I'd give them a shot. I'm a big fan of Chrysler Town & Country Minivans, and I have always seen a nice selection of them on Carvana. I prefer the Town & Country because I drive (part time) for Rideshare (Lyft & Uber). It is a comfortable ride, and it holds a lot of stuff. Very practical. So, late March of this year, I finally decided to pull the trigger on one. A nice 2011 Touring L. 90300 miles on the Odo. Very nice. No visible flaws at all (on Carvana). I was not happy about the high interest rate on the loan though.
I took delivery on April 6... Well, you know that "7 day Return" Policy? The day after I took delivery, of my van, I tested Positive for that Nasty Covid-19 thing going around. The symptoms weren't bad, I couldn't go anywhere for a week. Nowhere. I never had a chance to try it out when I got it. Once I recovered, I was commuting with it back and forth to work... about 30-40 minutes each way... No big deal. The first thing I noticed was a significant Lack of Power. This van has absolutely No "Get-up and Go". It is very sluggish, and I did notice a mild wobble in the front end that would come and go. But then, I went to do some Ridesharing with it, and I really started noticing it. The front brakes would shake and moan, and it felt like the wheels were going to fall off of it! I thought it was the wheel bearings.
Now, of course, we are past the 7 day return, so I looked into the Warranty company, and what to do. Of course, I had to take it to a "Certified", or "Approved" garage within their network. By this time, I had created a whole list of points to check on the van. Carvana says they do a 150 point inspection, but if the things that were wrong with my van were inspected, they must have been inspected by a blind person. So around mid-April, the "Approved" garage, says the van has new shocks and struts, and that I need All New brake pads and rotors, and that should fix my problem. They also said that the tires showed signs of cupping. However, the Warranty company Denied the Rear Brakes and the Tire replacement. I was without the van for 4 days. Income lost. So the van ran better for a while.
Time came for my first oil change. By this time, we are past the 100 day/ 4100 mile warranty. My usual place was booked out for weeks, so I brought it to a 10-minute oil change place. All went fine. not issues, other than the wait to get in. That night, I did some Ridesharing, and after picking up a passenger, suddenly, on the highway, doing 60-65 Mph, the van just stalls out! I ended up coasting off to the shoulder of the highway in a rainstorm With a passenger in the van. It wouldn't start. It turned over, but was acting like it wasn't getting any fuel. Just. Would. Not. Start. I had to cancel the ride, the passenger had to call a family member to pick them up, and I had to call a tow truck to come get the van. This Time, I had it towed to my regular mechanic.
My mechanic had it for several day before he could look at it, but nothing was coming up on the computer for errors. He tried again the next day, but all they could come up with was a bad charging code from the Alternator. Again, we were already past the 100 Days and 4100 miles, so there goes a few hundred $$$ for a new Alternator. Money Spent Out of Pocket and Income Lost. About 2 weeks later, on my way in to work again, on the highway, this time in rush hour traffic, the van Stalls Out Again! Same symptoms. Stalled out, wouldn't start. Again, it acted as though it wasn't getting gas. However, this time, the tow technician was able to get the van started. tow, and my boss had to pick me up at the mall to get me to work. This time, my mechanic could not find anything wrong with the van. Spent 4 days without it. Income lost again!
Fast forward to late July... The van has been gradually losing power and get up and go. It starts off slowly, and Hates going up hills! Suddenly, the wobble is back in the front end. The moaning of the wheels returns. In early August, it got to the point where if I simply took my foot off the gas, the van would slow down and almost come to a stop with even touching the brakes. I called my regular shop to look at it but they were booked. called another local garage, they were booked as well. Called a third local garage, and They were at least able to take it in to look at it within the week. I couldn't drive it confidently, so there was more income lost from Ridesharing.
Once they were able to get it in and look it over, it was discovered that the calipers had ceased up and were cooking the brakes. The reason the calipers ceased, was because the brake fluid was contaminated, and cause the rubber in the calipers to corrode and fail. This time, the van was out of commission for over 2 weeks. We had to replace the Master Cylinder, the Brake Booster, the Calipers, as well as the pads and rotors that I had just put on in April! More $$$ out of pocket and lost income. The only little bit of good news was that the pads and rotors were covered under warranty by the first garage... But still, Income was lost because I couldn't drive.
So, this brings us to this past Thursday and Friday... I pick the van up from Garage #3. I had someplace to go that evening, and had no other way to get there. As I'm driving, (Not even a mile away from the garage), the "Traction Control" light comes on on the dashboard. This usually only comes on when you hit the Traction Control button, which, sometimes get accidentally pushed. But it would not shut off. The next morning, I brought it back to Garage #1. They had the van overnight and I got it back Saturday morning. No money out of pocket this time, because they honored their own warranty on the parts and labor. But now, the Low Tire Pressure light is on! No big deal, but still... Always something!
Then, while I'm driving around to see how the brakes feel, the engine light comes on, then the Traction Control Light! I found out later what happens when the Traction Control Light comes on. - When you stop the car and put it in Park, you can't shift it back into gear. Had to turn the engine off and back on again. Now that is what has to be done every time the traction control light comes on. And let me tell you, when you do Ridesharing, you have to put the van in Park in order to open the sliding doors. That's a lot of stopping and starting the engine! Oh! And the latest happened today... The batteries in my remotes are low, according to the message on my dashboard. One thing after another in rapid succession. I think this van is Cursed!

When it was time to sell my car, I didn't want to think about it. How many quotes did I need to get? How much running around to dealers and getting offers? Should I try to do it on my own? Carvana sent me a great quote in a process that took all of 5 minutes to inform them of the status of my car and my legal ownership. I decided to check with the dealership that'd been trying to buy my car for the last two years, and they quoted me $3K less than Carvana AND wanted me to come in for them to inspect. No thanks.
I completed the sale to Carvana with a few clicks and a quick drive down to drop it off (they could have picked it up). I could not believe how simple the whole process was. So many things we must do in the 'life admin' category take so much effort and time; I am highly impressed with how easy Caravana made this experience. If only more companies were trying to make life tasks easier like Carvana! I will be advocating to every person I know!
