My experience of buying a car through Carvana was perfect. I found what I was looking for and the entire process from search to buying to getting tag was smooth. I was very happy not to go to a dealership. One thing to note: banks have not embraced online car dealers, so we had to finance through Carvana then refi through our bank. It went smoothly, though. Highly recommend!!

Selling my car to Carvana was the easiest and most hassle free experience I have ever had. I would recommend Carvana for selling your old car. The offer was fast and fair, and the pick up service was quick and on time.

Car was sold without disclosure of interior damage to passenger side door. Paneling appeared to have been gauged by a screwdriver across the entire plastic interior in what appears to be vandalism (could not have occurred naturally due to irregular shapes of damage). At time of drop off on 02/15/23, Carvana employee Peter took pictures of the damages and advised he would report it immediately, that the damages would “absolutely be covered” and someone would be in touch to advise of next steps. After several days, I followed up with Carvana who shared the photos were never uploaded! The return date was extended two days and I was instructed to follow up with third party Silver Rock to report the damages. Photos were sent however the claim was denied. I protested Carvana states the following on their site:
“Damage such as small dents or dings is listed for each car on the website, and visible in 360 degrees. Any interior or exterior wear-and-tear has to fall within certain standards (for example, a scratch has to be under a certain size and not easily visible) for us to sell the vehicle. We don’t sell cars that have any damage outside of our standards.… If it arrives with any issues that were not addressed during the initial 150-point inspection, the customer has some options. They can reject the vehicle entirely at no charge, opt to have Carvana fix the issues before delivery, or accept the car as-is and then use Carvana’s after-sale repair option at no extra cost.”
Though the damage is clearly not normal wear and tear, Silver Rock refused to honor the claim stating “our hands are tied, these are the standards dictated by Carvana”. Silver Rock never inspected the vehicle. Upon contacting Carvana’s corporate complaints office, the responsibility was again shifted to Silver Rock as “the final say”. The only option I was given was to return the car and swap out for another however I’d be out of transportation in the interim.
It was also difficult to have any level of confidence in the quality of the new vehicle as the damages on the car delivered could not be found in the notations of imperfections and were never captured in Carvana’s system of notes at any point of the 150 point inspection they claim is done to help boost consumer confidence. Buyers should beware as this company is not honest about the quality of vehicles sold and are misleading in their statements about the ease of rectifying an issue. PLEASE NOTE SILVER ROCK DOES NOT COVER COSMETIC ITEMS, REGARDLESS OF WHAT CARVANA’S WEBSITE SAYS.

I wanted to sell my Tacoma so I began with the Toyota dealership where I bought and maintained all service. They offered me a low purchase price even though it was a low-mileage truck in almost perfect condition. I decided to try Carvana. I was offered $5585 more than the dealership who proclaimed they were offering me the best deal possible. The offer from Carvana was made on Tuesday. I accepted on Wednesday. The truck was delivered on Friday with a 12-minute exchange of paperwork. I would highly recommend Carvana to anyone for speed and fairness of the sale.

It’s February 2023 and I think that they must have got on top of their work and fixed all of the problems people were having with them because My experience buying from Carvana was the best experience ever. I have seen bad reviews online and doubted them at first but still decided to go ahead and give them a try. My first call with them went great, they have easy and great communication through customer support. 10/10 on that. The picking up of the car went smooth and I was there for about 10 minutes and left with the car. I didn’t have any problems on the phone or at Carvana's venting machine. They have excellent employees and great communication. The car itself was clean and ready for me to drive with a full tank. Interior was spotless, smelled great. The car drives perfectly and has no issues after taking it to the mechanic for a check-up.
The car has 40 thousand miles on it and it still felt like I bought a brand new car. No problems at all. Clean seats, clean car paint, no stains, just amazing experience. For the bad reviews, I understand you might be hesitant about buying from them after seeing the reviews online and everyone saying the same thing about them that it became a trend to hate them and not for their actual work. It really is just people finding little things that Carvana will fix anyway and flipping it to be worse.
What I learned is to never doubt them because they will make sure you like the car 100% and they are willing to fix any problems or damages that come in your 7-day return policy and anything after that if you get Carvana's warranty. I will be updating my review after I have this car for a couple of months and leave my experience with the car. My registration was ready at pick up as well, no problem with that and I didn’t have to wait for them to ship it. Thank you, Carvana.

I bought my Hyundai in August 9th 2022... The delivery date was changed 3 times. Eventually I got my car Sept 10th. It looked lovely. I went for drive, checked it out on the outside. Brought it to a mechanic the following day to check over and he found a crack in gasket pipe and cap. The passenger mirror was was not working also. It was just a mirror and could not be adjusted. - N S E or W. Contacted Silverrock to have it repaired and this is where my story begins.
I had to take it to a specific/authorized garage that Silverrock gave me and if they could not do the repair I was allowed to take to dealership and the repair would be covered within reason. I do not want to bore everyone with the over and back details to the dealership, and weeks waiting for appointment.. and parts.. After the gasket was repaired the tube was leaking and ruined my driveway. I had to have the car towed.... Yes towed to the dealership. I was over my 7 day warranty of course to return it to Carvana - as it took 7 days for the 1st garage to give me an appointment to diagnose. ... Silverrock would not cover the casing on the floor that fell off due to oil damage from the broken gasket and tube.
Once this was repaired and I took my car away.... happy days.! .Of course not.... The indicator light came on, on the dashboard. Back to Hyundai. Again another few days out of work as I had no car.... During all this time I was calling Silverrock and Carvana, while Silverrock were helpful and professional .. Carvana were totally unprofessional and I rarely got to speak to a person. When I did I was told it was over the 7 day return and nothing could be done. I also tweeted and Carvana came back asking to DM them. This is in my opinion, so that no one else can see the complaint. I did DM Carvana but never got a reply. They did not care as long as I had the useless car and they got their money ...
According to the mechanics that l had look at my car, they said no professional mechanic should and would have sold this car in the condition they did. The gasket cap and tube broken and had glue on it. The mirror not working... The valet work was also terrible, as there was dog hair in the car. A month later ... we're in November now 2022 and the ignition light comes on again... Back to Hyundai to get a new one installed .... A few more days without my car.
Now it is February 2023 and believe it or not but I have the car in the garage again as the gasket is leaking and I needed oil change. This I had to pay for.... the mechanic told me I needed at least $1000.00 of repairs on the car. This is a family mechanic and is an honest guy. He said my car has all 2015 parts and should have been upgraded before Carvana sold it.
PLEASE, PLEASE do not buy from Carvana... They sold me my car that was not road worthy, dangerous. A dealership may be more expensive but at least you have a warranty to go back if something is wrong. .. Borrow extra and have a car that is sold in good condition and good faith... Legal action may be next to get my money back. A minus before 1 star is too high a rating!

My car was delivered with damage that was not specified, detailed, or described to me before I placed my order. The pick up center said that Silver Rock would help me with my claim. I submitted all claims SAME day that I picked up my car. It’s now been 9 days and nobody has gotten back to me about the damages on my vehicle. They claim it only takes 24-48 hours to get a response from Silver Rock but I’ve been waiting NINE DAYS and I haven’t heard from ANYBODY. It’s now past my deadline to return my vehicle and I still have no idea if Carvana is going to take care of me on this. I paid top top top dollar for the used vehicle that I selected and then I paid another $1500 to ship the car.
There is very expensive body damage present on my car that needs to be taken care of. I feel like I’m getting ripped off, if I don’t hear from anybody soon I will have to seek legal consultation in order to recoup the money that will be spent on bodywork just to get my car to look like it did on their website when I was tricked into purchasing it. I say that I was tricked because I feel pretty foolish right now sitting here on day nine waiting to hear from Carvana's warranty company. I would not have purchased this vehicle if I had known about its damage. I would not have driven away with the vehicle if the Carvana Representative had not told me that Silver Rock would take care of everything. I’m just impatiently waiting for somebody at Carvana to show me that I’m a valued customer and to correct the wrong that was made by delivering me a damaged vehicle.

I decided to sell my 2014 Audi A5 to Carvana. It was so easy! Enter the license plate to get started. Answer the specific questions. They came up with an acceptable price. Very good correspondence via email. I opted to have Carvana come pick up the car. The pickup driver, Tanner, contacted us that morning with an arrival time. He was on time, prepared and courteous. Carvana had my money deposited in my account within 2 days. Extremely pleased with the entire deal. Thanks, Carvana!

Carvana was super easy and fast to deal with, once you submit your information, they give you a whole list of vehicles to choose from within your budget and no pushy car salesman involved.

I cannot recommend Carvana and am worried that more unsafe cars will be purchased by this company. I purchased a Toyota RAV4 from Carvana on January 31, 2023. The car was to be delivered two weeks later. The day before it was scheduled to arrive I was informed it was delayed a week due to transportation issues. A week later, and 75 minutes before it was supposed to arrive at my home, I was informed that technicians looked at the bottom of the car and found rust, resulting in the car being unsellable. I was offered a new date but of May 2023 for the same, unsellable, car or $250 off another carvana vehicle. Why was this not found earlier? Why was looking under the vehicle not 1 of the “150 point inspection” all cars undergo?

This is the second time I’ve used Carvana when I wished to sell my vehicle. The online process is very easy and user friendly. It took a matter of 10 minutes to sign up, answer a few questions and I received my quote immediately. The following day I was asked to upload a few documents and within 2 days I was setting up an appointment to have them pick up my vehicle. I chose to have the funds deposited electronically into my account and the following day, the funds were there. No brainer for me—takes the pressure, stress, time and headache out of selling a vehicle!

This was my first experience buying a car online and I have to say that everything went smoothly. Carvana gave me more towards my trade than Kelly Blue Book suggested. Since I knew the make and model of the car I wanted all I had to do was look for one in the price range I needed. From there it was easy to narrow down my selection by color, mileage, and condition.
The delivery of my car was about an hour early. The lady that delivered was very personable. The car arrived in great condition, even better than what the photos portrayed. I was able to take it for a test drive before the delivery person left. Overall it took about 5 days from start to finish to trade and receive my car. I can't think of any cons or issues that I had during the entire process! I will definitely buy from them again.

Bought a car from this place. When the delivery day came was told car was sold to someone else. Which I had car insurance already on through my insurance company (Carvana requires you to have insurance 48 hours before delivery). So didn’t get this car. Pick out another car. Delivery date kept changing because of all the repair they made to make sure it was safe. Then we waited a few more weeks. On day of delivery, driver called and told and ask if we wanted car that day since car had no brakes. Well after waiting so long I said, "Deliver it." Got it. Brake pads were down to metal and rotors were past shot. Tires that said they were new were bald and wire was out. Check engine light was on. They stated car had small scratch. Bumped looked as it was hit by a cement wall.
Talked to Carvana. They said if we decide to take it they would fix everything. So we took it and went to repair shop. The turbo was falling off car and yea I mean the turbo. Complete brake job, rotors, pads, and caliber. New tires, front alignment, etc. Then they said they would call or email the info for the cosmetic issues. After 2 car payments and finally getting car inspected find out we got stuck paying for inspection and emissions. But that is what it is. Called them about this and ask, "What about the cosmetic repairs," sent us to the place who pays for it. They said they will not pay for it. Now I’m past the return date by a few days. Best advice for whoever is considering buy from them stay away. They **. Can’t spell out exactly or no one will get to read this. Don’t buy from this place. You will regret it.

I purchased a 2017 Toyota Camry from Carvana in Jan of 2023. It was advertised as free shipping. When I was going over the contract I discovered I was charged for the $190 shipping fee and a $190 delivery fee. I went online to resolve the situation and had proof of the advertised free shipping (printed out copy of the screenshot of the advertisement showing the free shipping) even after sending them a copy of the proof they refused to refund the false charges. As we were talking I brought up the ad on my computer. During the time I was online with them (75 mins) they altered the ad to add on shipping fees. Then they deleted it entirely.
I believe they committed False Advertising and Fraud, both are crimes here in Wisconsin. Still I was refused a refund of the false charges. Along with this I found 2 other cases where they misrepresented verbally clauses that were in the final contract. The second $190 charge for delivery is optional, but no one will inform you of this. I would have picked up my car had I was aware of this. The depot for Carvana is only 3.8 miles from my home. Do not deal with Carvana.

When I went to pick up my vehicle there was a gentleman helping someone else but no one was there to talk about my vehicle. I waited for several minutes before I was greeted by a woman who informed me that she had sent forms over that I needed to sign. The documents she had sent were not labeled as coming from Carvana so I had disregarded them. Also considering that I had signed a number of things already it didn't occur to me that there could have been more. Her attitude about it was horrible.
She was condescending when I spoke to her. The only thing that kept me from walking out was that I only had to tolerate her for a few minutes. I don't expect to be treated like royalty but I don't think her horrible attitude was warranted either. I doubt I will shop with Carvana again unless it is to have the vehicle delivered straight to me so I can avoid dealing with their staff.

I recently purchased a car from Carvava, 2 days ago. During delivery we noticed the tires were bad and the car needed alignment, we also noticed there was a light on to service the 4-wheel drive. The driver stated that he would note this for the warranty so we wouldn't get any hassle (his words) and these items would be repaired or replaced. Now the warranty place is stating none of this will be covered and Carvana says there is nothing they can do. I didn't expect a brand-new car, however, 150 point check certainly should have revealed this. I cannot reach anyone by phone, everyone just wants to chat. I am so disappointed in this outcome. And it costs me $990 for nothing.

Made on-line purchase of a car for my wife and paid $19k down. Car delivered on 1/10/2023 after dark. We did a quick test drive and everything seemed fine. Next day in the daylight she drove the car and since it had the "cold weather package" the front windshield was heated. The lines in the glass affected my wife's visibility, so we requested a swap. Chose the car and it was delivered 10 days later on 1/20/2023. Unfortunately, when it arrived (the delivery driver gave me some advanced notice) the car was beat up. Although there were minor blemishes noted in the listing the car had over 50 noticeable dings, scratches and damage down to bare metal mostly on the doors and quarter panels. Some had been poorly touched up with a paint pen. In addition, the passenger rear tire had two gashes in the rubber exceeding 3 inches. To make a long story short, the interior was worse.
Needless to say, we had 2 choices: reject the replacement and keep the original car with a windshield I'd be forced to replace or accept the replacement and begin by replacing a tire and fixing the paint and interior issues just to get something presentable. We kept the original and I replaced the front windshield for $800 without the heating option (Jaguar XE). So now we just need to get the paperwork to register the car and move on, but in the meantime I paid off the loan in full. Unfortunately, Carvana says they shredded the original paperwork that my wife signed. At this point it goes to the Purchase Rebuilds Team, so I suspect with a full team Carvana makes this error a lot. Finally, 35 days after the original delivery (and yes, the temp tag has expired) they send me an email to resign all of the documents, but instead of the car being in my wife's name as original they have changed it to my name.
In addition, they have included all of the original financing documents in the package for me to sign on a car that has been paid in full. Needless to say, I am exhausted and frustrated by this whole process. To make matters worse, the person supposedly managing my case (whom I have never actually spoken to) is on vacation and apparently there is no one else within Carvana that can actually help me. I would not go through all of the trouble of writing this review if I didn't honestly feel I'd have been better off going with one of the many other companies offering the same service. For me, this is the last time I will buy a car from Carvana. In fairness, the purchase I made in January of 2022 went fine, but obviously there have been some changes.

From the very beginning everyone I dealt with was incompetent. After jumping through hours of hoops I found the first two cars I contracted for were not available. When I finally did get a car the delivery was rescheduled three times. When I picked it up it was covered in salt. The advocate said they couldn’t wash it because it was too cold. She said, "Once you wash it if there are any scratches you just let us know." When I washed it there were three gouges in the hood. I contacted their insurance people and was told their evaluation team doesn’t catch everything and that it was considered normal wear and they weren’t going to fix it. I’ve since had to have a leaking tire remounted. I would go out of my way to tell people to never deal with this company.

They ended up canceling my order by accident and lost my original delivery date and now the car is delayed due to their stupidity. The representative that was on the phone with me realized the colossal mistake and instead of fixing it, she panicked and hung the phone up and never called back.
I had to call back for the 5th or 6th time that day and have another representative replace the order. Now I'm paying insurance on a car I can't drive yet and the first car payment will be due soon. They also told my wife that she had to be home with me to accept delivery of the vehicle so she ended up taking a day off work to be there and we later found out that information was false and she did not have to be home. Now the car is coming late due to their mistakes and my wife has to miss work for no reason. All I expected out of them was to correct their mistake and give us back our original delivery date but they won't do anything for us. Thought about canceling our order with them but we are unsure at this point due to having to start all over. Carvana is a joke. They say they will drive you happy but all they have done is drive me crazy…

My vehicle was delivered with very obvious damage, including a huge gash on the top. The gash was down to the metal, but they would not fix it. They said it was cosmetic, and although it would cause rust and corrosion, it was within their standards. Either way, it was clear damage that I saw immediately, yet they did not disclose online. In addition, there was overspray and damage on both bumpers. They did agree to fix those, which is the only reason they get 2 stars rather than 1. But again, they never disclosed any of that damage. There was zero indication of it you till I inspected the car upon delivery…and they were obvious.
In addition, there was only 1/2 a tank of gas, and while they guarantee that they detail the vehicle, they did not detail mine. There was dog hair inside, along with obvious dirt footprints on the back of the seats, gunk in the cup holders, and just obvious signs of not being cleaned beyond what the previous owner had done prior to turning it in.
So they did NOT disclose obvious damage and did NOT detail my vehicle. It is not easy to work through the request to repair because they can just say no and tell you to turn the vehicle back in, however, you are then responsible for the shipping charges. I will not work with Carvana again, and recommend no one else does. This experience was worse than having to deal with dealership antics…which I despise.

The sale of my 2018 Alfa Romeo Giulia was easy and stress free. After answering a few questions and entering the VIN into the Carvana website, I was immediately sent a very reasonable purchase quote which I accepted. The auto was picked up by a friendly and knowledgeable associate at the requested time and the proceeds were deposited directly into my bank account the following morning. It was a very convenient process and I would highly recommend it to anyone thinking of selling their automobile.

I was able to sell my car for the most money through Carvana (I tried the dealership, Carmax, KBB, etc.) and buy a new car for a good deal. I absolutely loved being able to do everything online and not have to deal with sitting around in a dealership trying to haggle for a decent price or interest rate. The only issue I had was that my original delivery date had to be moved DUE TO WEATHER, not due to Carvana or myself. When the car was delivered, the process took 30 minutes to do the paperwork and check everything and then it was done. I will truly never go to a dealership again. That fact alone is worth 5 stars. Any time I needed to talk to a person, I called the number and waited less than 5 minutes to speak to a human who HELPED me and answered my questions or concerns. The app/website are great. I cannot stress enough how much I like my car and the experience as a whole. The 7-day return policy is just icing on the cake!

I purchased a 2015 VW GTI from Carvana in august of 2022. The car supposedly went through a 150 point inspection, including wheels torqued to spec. When trying to remove one of the wheels, all of the locking lug bolts were grossly over tightened to the point that the lug lock key stripped while attempting to remove the wheel. I took the car to the dealership, and they quoted me $960 in labor cost to get the wheel locks removed, due to them being extremely over tightened, which will take hours to remove.
I contacted Carvana, and the manager I spoke with said that they did not touch the wheels, because tread wear was even, so there was no tire rotation needed. After reviewing the inspection sheet, there were multiple inspections done the required the wheels to be removed (Brake pad inspection, wheel torque inspection). I called Carvana back, and informed them that they did in fact remove the wheels, if they actually did do the listed inspections, and over tightened the lug bolts when reinstalling the wheels. The Carvana rep that I spoke to informed me that since the warranty expired in 11/22, I would have to pay the expense out of pocket. I feel that even though the warranty had expired when this issue was discovered, that they should reimburse me for at least a portion of the $960 quoted. This particular issue would only come to light if a tire needed replaced, which did not happen until recently. I will not purchase anything else from Carvana, and I advise anyone reading this to avoid them at all cost.

Every time I talked to one of the agents, used the app, or the website, each thing had something different to say. I wasted hours of my time, and only AFTER my cashier's check was received, which I had to have someone drive me an hour to get, verified with an agent previously that my bank was OK to use, AND two hours verifying other documents, I was told they can't use my bank. I had to finance at a 16.5% interest rate with Carvana instead of a 5.99% interest rate with my bank, despite having a 751 credit score and no credit card debt. Three weeks later and I'm still sorting out the financial details to refinance.
I also was told that I didn't need to have anything in advance before purchasing the car, which was shown on Carvana's website and verified by an agent, but as soon as I purchased the car on a Friday I was told I had 24 hours to upload a signed cashier's check, insurance card, insurance policy, driver's license (which was already uploaded), PLUS have a three-way call with Carvana and my bank to verify the funds for the down payment were in my account.
I had to beg Carvana multiple times to extend the deadline to get the I purchased the car on 01/27/23 and I'm still having trouble with all the final details and have to wait on the real license plate and registration as of 02/26/23. I have been frustrated to the point of tears multiple times, including now as I'm still on the phone with my bank and Carvana as I write this. I absolutely hate Carvana, their miscommunication, how long they take on hold to reach out to multiple departments because no one department or person can answer simple questions (such as if Carvana works with my bank), and how complicated everything is.

My complaint. I have had really good luck with Carvana in the past, however, I must say that I’m very disappointed with my purchase this time. I have been a loyal customer for the past several years and this is my fourth time buyingselling a vehicle. So here’s how things are playing out now, I purchased a awesome 2013 Jeep Wrangler unlimited Sahara (Very Nice) delivered on 1-13-2023. Due to having Covid symptoms I really didn’t have time to really check out the Jeep until 1-16-2023.
While checking over the vehicle, I noticed several problems, heated seats don’t work, navigation system doesn’t work, dashboard lights not working, steering wheel shakes really bad above 55 mph, tires have noticeable tread wear and are making loud noises. I contacted Silver Rock and they said to take it to Jeep dealership for repairs. The fastest dealership appointment I could get is 2-8-2023. While still waiting for my appointment, the Jeep was parked in my drive on 1-18-2023 and during a two day rain storm, I found the carpeting and front door panels soaking wet on both the drivers side and passenger front doors. While checking out the water situation, I found the rear jack compartment with at least 2” of water in it (Hard top). So I contacted Silver Rock and complained about these additional concerns. They stated to continue waiting on the Jeep dealership appointment and add these items to the list of repairs.
So I’m still driving the jeep to see if any other problems may arise. Well on 1-23-2023, I’m driving the jeep and I noticed that the water on the driver side still appears to be leaking from an inside source and the carpet smells like vomit. It’s so bad my wife refuses to ride in it until it’s fixed. So I’ve tried drying out the carpet and letting it air out. To no avail, the problem still exist. Once again, I notified Silver Rock and added to my list of problems “still waiting for my dealership appointment. So on 2-3-2023, I contacted Carvana and expressed my dissatisfaction and disappointment with my purchase $25,680, however, they Carvana stated too bad, there's nothing they could, for me to continue to go through Silver Rock for repairs.
So this afternoon 2-4-2023 I’m driving the jeep and the rear window defrost light started to flash and the heat stopped working. It’s around 29 degrees and I’m trying to figure out what to do. I’ve had this Jeep for less than 30 days and nothing but trouble. Now to add icing to the cake, I’m driving home, no heat, no nothing as far as climate control and about five miles to go before I get home, the Jeep ABS, traction control, and brake lights came on. So needless to say that now per Jeep it needs to be towed to the dealership because it’s not safe to drive. Please keep in mind, I’m recovering from Covid symptoms and until today I really didn’t think given my past history with Carvana I had anything to really worry about.
Well now, I’m having trouble with electrical components and the brakes. As a retired police officer in Virginia, I’m at wit's end after looking at the braking system. How did this Jeep pass Virginia state inspection? Jeopardizing the safety of this vehicle is proof positive that this Jeep wasn’t inspected properly before it was delivered to me. I will be following up on the state inspection station through the Virginia State Police. All I want is a SAFE reliable Jeep that I can depend on. Very disappointed customer!

This was my third sell to Carvana. At 70 I have bought and sold a many vehicle so I know the time and trouble it entails first hand. Carvana has made time and trouble a thing of the past.

By the way on the first sell I made a hefty profit and on the other two was paid more than all the other offers. My repeat business has to be EARNED.

I signed up for the Carvana app because I was in the market for a used car. I was getting ads sent to me for new listing and price reduction cars. I received the perfect car for our family with free shipping. After qualifying for a loan I was finalizing paperwork and realized the shipping was included in the sale. I appealed to a representative and they wouldn't waive the shipping even after sending them a screenshot of the ad. I canceled the sale and appealed to the better business bureau. Their reply was there was nothing they could do because I canceled the sale.
I quickly found the ad in my email and reopened the purchase. I replied to the letter and informed them I was interested and would buy it minus the shipping. They then replied that they had vehicles in my area. Unfortunately they were not what I was looking for. They were unyielding about the shipping. I then just decided that I no longer wanted to do business with them. I was excited to not have to deal with a sales person. Their operators were professional and did a great job. I just felt duped by the ad they sent.

I purchased a used car from Carvana for the first time. The process to purchase and pay in full was easy. On delivery day, the delivery was 30 minutes late. When the driver came, he asked if I wanted to test drive the vehicle. As they were late and my wife had to leave for work, I couldn't test drive as I had 2 kids at home. He told me I had 7 days and 400 miles to report any issues or problems with the car. I signed the paperwork and turned the car off. Went a few hours later to test drive the vehicle after installing the car seats and immediately noticed a crack in the windshield. It was 2 small marks next to each other that had begun to splinter.
I contact Carvana immediately about this issue. They reported that it wasn't covered by the limited warranty and needed reported prior to signing paperwork, despite the contrary report from the delivery person. I explained the situation and what I was told, showed proof of the crack and the odometer showing less than 5 mile change from delivery, but was told to contact my insurance to fix. Despite continued protest and discussing with them that I would review this experience, they told me to have a great day. I would not recommend the company to anyone for car purchases, as clearly they do not want to ensure the quality of their products.

I recently sold my vehicle to Carvana, and it was a wonderful experience. Unlike a private sale, there was no hassle in running around to meet up with strangers and allow them to test drive it. Also unlike trading a car in to a dealership, the quote I was given by Carvana was more than fair, and they didn't attempt to low ball me at any time. The Carvana rep arrived at my house, looked at the car and turned it on, had me sign some papers, pulled it up on to the truck, and that was it. The purchase money was deposited in my account the next day. I highly recommend this service and Carvana!

I purchased a vehicle on January 7th, 2023. Carvana took in my trade. On the contract that Carvana and myself signed, there was an enormous error that wasn't caught until Carvana went to pay off my trade. They made a 10k mistake on my trade-in. I had the new car for a month and made a payment before Carvana figured out the contract mistake. They then sent me to their customer relations department to solve this. Carvana admitted they made a mistake on the contract. The only way they would fix it was for me to return the car or give them over 5k in a down payment due to the negative equity in my car.
I tried to negotiate the terms, but they would not budge. I tried to negotiate anything. The only remedy they would allow was the remedy to fix their error. I am now having to fight with the loan servicer Bridgecrest due to my trade-in cars payment being late. It will mark my credit as 30 days past due. Bridgecrest cannot or will not do anything to help me. I have two loans open now.
Carvana said they would come and take the car and return my trade-in and extend the 7-day return window for their mistake. That was the only thing they could do for me. That is how they view making the mistake right, making it right to their advantage. I have spent hours and hours trying to negotiate with Carvana so I could keep my car. They were very rude and condescending. I asked to even speak with a supervisor and the Rob told me he was the highest person I could get and no matter how many people I asked to talk to I would only get the same response as he has already told his team about the situation.
After arguing with Rob for over half an hour he said he would get a “team leader” to call me back. The team leader basically told me that Rob was correct, and that they would not negotiate with me. I was to either give the car back or face repossession and it would ruin my credit. They made several threats at damaging my credit with either a repossession or a late payment on my trade-in I no longer had. I have never in my life been treated so poorly for a mistake I did not make. I have never experienced a company that was only worried about correcting a mistake they made at any cost to the consumer.

Everything went fine with the process, all the way to the actual delivery of the vehicle. First drive showed a problem, front-end alignment was off, steering wheel not straight. Further inspection showed left front strut leaking hydraulic fluid. Also, the positive battery terminal was badly corroded, found this after a cold start was a little slow turning over. All these things should have been caught before delivery. So now I have to go through the repair process, make appointment, wait 10 days, drop vehicle off at repair facility, wait more days. It looks like I have to pay a $100 deductible for the repairs. Wish that could be waived?
Other than those problems, vehicle was in great cosmetic shape. Hopefully the repairs will take me down the road for many miles to come. One other note is the APR% using Bridgecrest is high for an auto loan, even with a credit score in the 800s and a down payment of over half the cost of vehicle. Still a better experience than the two car dealerships I visited first. I have not bought a vehicle in many years but would probably try Carvana again.

There is no accountability in the organization when an employee makes an error. If they place the customer in a bad situation, Carvana will neither accept responsibility as a company nor do anything to make it right with the customer. I financed a vehicle with Carvana with a 1pm Thursday 2/2/2023 delivery time. I received an email on Wednesday 2/1/2023 at 6:46pm which verified my order was "approved" for delivery the next day at 1pm.
Within minutes of the confirmation email, I got another email from Carvana Underwriting Specialist Alicen stating the system made an error and accepted the proof of address documents by mistake. She said they needed additional proof of address within the next hour to confirm delivery--utility, medical, or other bills. I replied with the requested documents in 10 minutes.
The next day my scheduled 1pm delivery time comes and my car does not arrive. 2pm no car. 3pm no car. I call Carvana to ask about the delay and they say the order was canceled. I asked why the order was canceled when I provided all required documents, and why I was not informed the delivery was canceled. The Carvana representative said there was a system error approving the original documents and she would check with the verification team why the new documents were not approved. She put me in touch with a verification team representative.
The verification team member confirmed they DID RECEIVE the new additional verification documents I emailed them, it's just that nobody on the verification team checked the inbox until the day of delivery. The message sat overnight and the system automatically canceled my order because nobody on the verification team confirmed my delivery. I asked how they were going to make this right. Their system made the first mistake. Their people made the second mistake since I sent them the proper documents by the requested time but they failed to check their inbox minutes after sending an email. He said the best they can do is reschedule for Tuesday.
I informed him I had drill for the military that weekend and needed the car to travel --which is why I scheduled delivery on Thursday. I asked if there is an alternative vehicle, rental vehicle, reimbursement, or money off they could provide since I would now have to spend hundreds on a rental vehicle because of their mistakes. He said, "no," he could " tell [me] right now Carvana won't provide a rental. The best we can do is deliver it Tuesday and there might even be delays." Spoke to a manager who confirmed they would do nothing to help. He actually said "if we offered customers reimbursement for every time we made a mistake with an order we wouldn't be able to stay in business"...he was serious...this is how he justified providing no reimbursement for their mistakes.
Outrageous! What a sham of a company. What honest company makes multiple errors, inconveniences the customer, makes excuses, then does nothing to make it right with the customer? Where is the accountability? What about your word as a business? They care nothing about you, only your money! Do NOT buy from Carvana.

The day of pickup we received a confirmation text “Thanks for checking on your order! Your appointment is on track and we look forward to seeing you soon. We recommend keeping an eye on your order dashboard”. When no one showed up, we checked the dashboard that said our appointment had been changed from Sunday at 8:30am to Tuesday at 2pm! Shocked because we were leaving the country the next day! And this appointment had been confirmed several times!! My husband searched online and called customer service. The agent said there was no one to call and they relied on email. We were on a time constraint! Then at 11:15 am, we received a call telling us to drive the car 40 minutes from our house and to get there by noon!
We jumped in the car and went to the address given us. The place looked VERY sketchy, no Carvana signage around and a car lot that said, “Car auction”. There was a guard there who we spoke with. She called someone. Long story short, a lady drove up in a car with CARVANA on it. She apologized and said they were short on workers and that she had been called in on her day off to help us. I videotaped the entire transaction because I didn’t believe it was legit! I honestly thought this was a setup and perhaps a theft ring to steal our car. This lady was nice and the transaction did vaguely resemble the SMOOTH transaction when we bought this car from Carvana. That time was extremely professional.
So we told the lady that we had no way home as this was a last-minute notice to drive 40 miles away from our home and all family and friends were otherwise detained. She called an Uber for us and the guy did show up. We signed the papers, got in the Uber and were driven home. The Uber driver drove very dangerously and his car smelled of smoke, but at that point, we were happy to arrive home.

They came out, verified the VIN number, and that was it. The money was in my account that night and my loan was paid off 5 days later (vehicle was worth more than payoff). Easy.

Worst car buying experience of my life. The first car I bought I loved, but ultimately had to return due to an electronic issue that their in-service providers couldn't fix, and their warranty company's reputation being so bad that the manufacturer dealerships wouldn't work with them at all. Swapped it in for a second car, which is working out so far, but the 3-month temporary registration expired. They then send me an email, the day after its expiration, saying that the registration is still on track to be finished before the temporary registration expires....excuse me? I still don't have the physical plates, and was given no clear answer on their ETA. I was offered a $52 refund "for the inconvenience" which covers less than an 8th of the cost of the rental car I needed to pay for out of pocket. Ensuring customer happiness doesn't seem to be one of their priorities. Steer clear of Carvana. Their downsides far outweighs their perks.

I purchased a car roughly 2 months ago. In the last two days all the crash sensor lights have been going on as if I was in an accident. I went to my local garage and had to look at the car. At that moment I was told that this car was in the front and collision, the CBD2 hook up was not bracket on correctly either, which, in the state of Arizona means you cannot go through inspection. Both times when these lights go on the car goes into a coast mode, which slowly stops the car. That is a wonderful experience when you’re going 70 miles an hour on the highway and this happens. I called Carvana up about this issue, and they told me since it’s past the seven day there’s nothing they can do and I have to go through the extended warranty or pay for it on my own. That is the way they handle a car that they sold with under false advertising. It is sickening how they do not care. I will never buy another car from Carvana again. They truly do not care about the customer and only care about the bottom line!

As a previous employee, I should have known better. I requested an offer on my Lexus - I entered 18K for the mileage and received an offer. I then adjusted the mileage to 17.5K and the offer lowered by $600. I asked, begged, pleaded for Carvana to honor the original offer. There were no logical explanations offered. One advocate told me because the mileage changed by such a substantial amount - 500 miles less. It was a blessing in disguise. I received two similar offers and one higher offer. If you're selling your car, try **, **, **. All of them matched or increased the offer from Carvana. Carvana has a high employee turnover rate and no real customer retention skills. Many of their decisions lack logic are akin to "because I said so". As a previous employee and potential customer, I urge you to take your business elsewhere.
We are sorry to hear your selling experience wasn't satisfactory. Appraisals are based on: Kelly Blue Book current fair market value, vehicle features, current mileage, and VIN inspection. This helps us determine a fair value for your vehicle. While we do honor your trade value for 7 days, our appraisal is based on the information initially reported; new information may require a new appraisal. Should you like to consider moving forward, please note all Carvana trade values are good for 7 days.

I thought to give Carvana a try by purchasing a vehicle completely online back in Sept 2022. Everything went smoothly until I failed to get the license plate by the time the temporary one expired on Dec 18, 2022. Karl from the senior support team has been assigned to handle my case since my first inquiry about the delay. On Dec 22, 2022, he notified me that the paperwork was with the state and I should expect to receive my license plate anytime soon. A month went by and it never arrived. So I went to a nearby DMV field office in an attempt to get a temporary license plate and only to find out that they never received the paperwork from Carvana.
Carvana previously advised me that they sent DMV a FedEx package which showed it having been delivered on Dec 22, 2022. However, a month went by and no one from Carvana bothered to check with DMV to ensure that the "paperwork" had been processed. Because of this oversight by Carvana, I have not been able to get a temporary license plate which enables me to operate my vehicle legally. When I contacted Carvana immediately after my visit with DMV on Jan 19, 2023, I was given another run-around again and was told by another senior manager that Karl, my rep, would call me back the next morning.
Again, no phone call from Karl so I waited until 3pm to make another call. I had to repeat the same story that I told his co-worker the day prior in order to bring him up to speed about the status - letting him know that DMV has not received the "paperwork" from Carvana or the third-party in order to transfer the title of the vehicle to my name. When he was not able to provide an explanation, I let him know that I want my money back so I could use the proceeds to purchase another vehicle for transportation. He agreed and told me that he had initiated the request from the finance department and should have an answer for me next Tuesday (Jan 24, 2023).
When I called him back on Jan 24, 2023, he was on another call, but his co-worker named Stewart let me know this time that my account is "being researched." Does anyone know what this means? Carvana's senior support team does not have a clue either. I can't believe what I have just experienced with Carvana over the past few weeks. This will be my first and last purchase with them. Dealing with the senior support team at Carvana is my worst nightmare!

Carvana sold me a Camry with 10,000 miles that had a very bad alignment and damaged CV. Car was also missing the spare tire and the all weather floor mats that were in the description of the car. I took the car to the mechanic first chance I had and he kept using the words “traumatic” to describe what happened to the alignment and the CV boot. He also used the term “dukes of hazard”.
The alignment was WAY out of spec. They would not cover this work even though I had just picked the car up a couple days before. The alignment and the noise from the CV damage should have been caught on the road test and their “inspection” list says they check the CV. Neither of these were done properly obviously. They did not stand by their product. I have wasted multiple days and many hours dealing with this car. Along with the money spent to pick it up and take it to the mechanic. This Carvana experience has been an absolute nightmare. The way they’ve operated so far I am worried about getting my money back (I paid cash for the vehicle. Now I have a set of all weather floor mats I paid for from the dealer also that I won’t have a car to put them in. Just a huge waste of time and money and stress because of their incompetence and crooked behavior.

This was our 3rd purchase from Carvana. We decided to use them again because our previous 2 purchases had been flawless with amazing customer service and we loved the no hassle experience. Again the buying process was extremely easy and we had no issues. In the past we have opted for deliveries to our home but this time we opted to pick it up from the car vending site as it was only 10 minutes down the road. Beware - The pick up process is NOTHING like the description.
The customer service here (Memphis) was just awful. We walked into the office area to an empty room and waited about 10 minutes before anyone showed up. The guy who came in was in no way friendly, no apologies for the wait or any greeting at all. He went over the paperwork with my husband is in less than 5 minutes, standing up (even though there was a table and 2 chairs beside them) and then told him the car should be out front and handed him the keys. There was no walk around the vehicle, take it for a test drive, etc. He literally handed us the keys and told us to find the car and put the temp tag on ourselves.
It was possibly the worst customer service I’ve ever experienced when making such an expensive purchase. On top of this, the car itself was not cleaned well on the inside and sticker residue was left on the inside front windshield and exterior back of the car where the license plate is (it also looked like someone tried to cover the residue so it wouldn’t be noticeable so we didn’t see it until we washed the car). I will definitely rethink whether I want to purchase from Carvana again, especially using the Memphis facility.
Thank you for your honest feedback. It saddens us to hear that you encountered some roadblocks during the pick up process which created a less than exceptional experience.

Purchased a car over a year ago that had both mechanical and interior/exterior damage that supposed to be fixed. The Carvana delivery guy notated several exterior problems upon dropping off the car. On top of that There were several more concerns that were supposed to be fixed that were approved within the first several days of receiving the car.
The car began having mechanical problems 3 days after it was dropped off. I called Carvana and they assured me that all would be covered since it was within the 7 day no questions asked. I have not been able to drive my car for the majority of the year. Upon it getting fixed the same issue would pop up again within days. Because the car has been in line to or at the repair shop the entire year the exterior problems were not yet addressed. I was just told by Silverrock that the period of time that those repairs needed to be fixed had expired and I now have to pay out of pocket to get all of the exterior damages that I was told would be covered within the first couple days of having the car. I am a year out from purchasing this car and have not even been able to drive it. This is horrible business and I would not recommend anyone to go to them for a vehicle purchase.

I was extremely pleased with the entire process. Providing the required information on the car I wanted to sell only required a copy of the title and a picture of the dashboard. I heard back within hours with an offer that was significantly larger than what my local dealers were willing to offer. We opted to drive the car to the Carvana site and after just a few minutes of checking by the Carvana representative, the previously stated offer was agreed on and we were immediately given the check. The entire process was a win-win situation with the smoothness of the transaction and the price I received.

I called to tell them about this situation and they pretty much told me to shove it up my butt and had nothing to even say. They said “It’s all checked with Carfax. 150 inspection.” Yeah okay. I don’t know what kind of people work there, but this should not have passed inspection. I will tell every single person possible to NEVER EVER EVER buy a car from carvana.

Before even getting an offer I spoke to a rep at Carvana letting them know that they would have to pickup the vehicle before the 18th. My wife and I were honest which turned out to be the wrong thing to do. We are moving out of the country on the 18th and told them we would need someone to pick it up before then. We asked if they can pick up the car on the 17th or 18th at the hotel which they said no one was available and that we needed to take the 14th or nothing. We liked the offer they gave and did everything they asked. 14th came around and about 30 minutes before the pickup and called and said they needed to reschedule.
So we are like, "Well we are moving out of our house on the 16th so if you can't pick it up on the 15th we can spend Sunday trying to find another company to help us." She assured we would be fine on the 15th. Well 15th comes around, 30 minutes before pickup we get a random text saying they want to do a pickup on the 21st at 3:30. I was livid because we have tons of communication and texts proving that they knew we were moving on the 18th. Even the guy on the phone said they knew about it. Guy on the phone didn't mention once about our offer "expiring."
Over text the lady said, "Your offer expired and you can reach back at midnight to get help." I thought that was strange and comes to find out our offer doesn't expire until tomorrow. They just wanted to give us a crap price because they know it's not easy to go and sell a car in 3 days. The customer support said they can't help and to wait until midnight to try to resolve this. Most disgusting experience I have had with a company in years. No customer service, lied to try to force me into a worse deal. Just pathetic.

If I could give zero stars, I would. Carvana supposedly does a 150 point inspection. They need looked at for fraud. My boyfriend purchased an 80k$ sport car that we would have had to drive out of state for. So to save time he decided to purchase off of Carvana. We take the car for a test drive. It struggles to move from a stopped start. It took 5-10 seconds to even start accelerating and move more than ten feet. It felt like we were in a manual and he didn’t know how to drive it, but the car was an automatic. We thought perhaps it was because the car hadn’t been driven, so decided to go thru with doing the seven day trial with this vehicle, however after driving it over a hundred miles, the problem with the car is still extremely obvious. The concierge at the Carvana location even noticed the problem but also thought it was due to it not being driven, as it’s a performance vehicle.
Needless to say we are still in the process of getting this problem fixed. The major issue is he purchased a car that’s supposed to go from zero to 60 in a couple seconds. We almost got t boned twice due to it not accelerating. We weren’t even pulling out in front of anyone. It took over 5 seconds to move more than 10 feet. This totally ruined our new car experience as he’s waited for many years to get something nice.
He’s currently on the phone with Carvana. We are worried on how many other vehicles are misrepresented like this. Major safety concerns not listed on their 150 point inspection. Because it was extremely apparent no one has drove this vehicle. It was evident no one from Carvana took this car for a test drive to see if it was functioning properly. Never buy from Carvana. They don’t care about your safety.

These people do not deserve 1 star! This has been the worst car buying experience of my life and at 63 years old, I have bought and sold at least 100 cars. So, I get the car delivered to my house and the driver is nice enough to show me damage to the front bumper he said was caused loading the car on the trailer. The driver is very nice young man and told me he had reported the issue to Carvana and someone would reach out to get it taken care of, but nobody did that so I called in to find out how they would handle the issue. They told me I had to contact their partner Silver Rock who handles these issue so I did. I then get an email from Silver Rock stating this is a used car and they would not do anything to fix the damage.
I am so glad I followed up on this to return the car as I don't like doing business with people that have no clue how to deal with customer service. This has also been one of the dumbest things I have ever seen a business do, but it gets better if you can believe it. When they came to pick up the car, they did not bring my trade-in, and I had already agreed to buy a different car from an honest dealership so now I have had to call them daily trying to find out when I can get my car back and no one can tell me. When all this started, they allowed 200 more miles on the car since they took my trade-in, but would not add any additional miles so I sit here with a car I can't drive unless I pay $1 per mile to drive it.
And here is the icing on the cake. When I finally get my trade-in car returned, they did not bring the title with the car. Therefore, they asked me to wait up to two weeks to have the title returned to me, but instead, I waited over two weeks and got a letter from Carvana saying they would not be returning my title and I would need to apply for a new one. In Florida, we have to make an appointment at DMV so that added another 10 days to this nightmare and meanwhile the dealer where I traded my car is holding $30,500 for my trade-in, because I did not have the title.
Folks, there is a reason this company has less than a two-star average reviews, their stock price has gone from $360 to $7 and they have had almost 7,000 complaints filed with the Better Business Bureau over the last 3 years. I can't imagine they will stay in business much longer doing business this way. By the time they pick up my car, they will have made three trips to my house, and as I understand it, they shipped my car to Arizona and will have to ship it back, and all this could have been avoided if they would have taken care of what might have been a $150 repair on a $70,000 car that was undisclosed and admittedly caused by them. No business can survive making money-losing deals and this company has NEVER turned a profit. These kinds of business decision has to have something to do with that.

I purchased my 2017 Ford Edge in Aug of 2021 and the car has been nothing but a piece of garbage, it has spent almost half the time I have owned it in the shop, it has left me stranded on the side of the road on multiple times, the car has shut off and lost all power while driving multiple times. I called Carvana to discuss the situation with them and got nowhere. I was told, "We did not build the vehicle so it's not our problem," my problem with that is that carvana claims to do a 150 point inspection on the vehicles they sell. If that is the case they should have caught some of the issues I have had with my vehicle.
I explained to the person on the phone at carvana that I have lost time from work due to this garbage car. I have had to pay for the deductible for repairs multiple times and had to have it towed over and over again hoping that maybe they would offer me some type assistance in maybe trading the car in or something but instead the attitude was "We just sell the cars. We don't make them and your problem isn't with us. It's with the car manufacturer." That was very disappointing.
I liked the idea of buying a car online and not having to go into a dealership and haggle for hours, the buying process was simple but the problems I continue to have with my vehicle and the bad attitude of the associate at carvana have turned me off to that buying process, I will just go to a traditional dealer from now on and suggest to anyone else looking to buy a car to save yourself a headache and do the same, Carvana is a gimmick not a serious dealer.

Technology can be used to improve the customer experience, enhance their delight, streamline processes and eliminate hurdles. Carvana found a way to utilize technology to make the entire buying experience slower, more turbulent, more rigid, more frustrating and a process that required far more time and cycles than going to a car lot would have. The entire process took WEEKS.
Some examples of my horrible experience: Received a call from a hacked Idaho number asking for passwords and credentials, I refused to answer them, because of that they failed my authentication and stated I could not finance a car with them for 6 months! and needed to bring my own financing. 3 escalations, same result. Ridiculous. This Jeep was to be a Christmas present for my wife, we had a confirmed date. When we switched to self-financed they reset everything and next available date was the 26th. We changed our vacation around and settled on a late Christmas present. They then changed the date again to the 29th with no explanation. Thanks Carvana.
I spent hours on the phone personally walking an associate through how they could verify my check with my local bank. They were calling a corporate number trying to get information on a check that was not cashed yet. Escalation after Escalation. The list goes on and on. I would bet I had 10 hours minimum trying to navigate this buying process with them. There is not any manager overrides for internal issues or mistakes that are available. Any route of escalation gets you to the same place. A rigid, computer-driven application that their employees themselves struggle to navigate through. A hybrid experience, could streamline and improve the buying experience and does for countless organizations. This appears to be flawed at the core.

Would never recommend using Carvana. After our experience, my wife and I would rather spend the day at the car dealer. We are seniors and the car they delivered needs over $1,200.00 in repairs.

On the 7th day, they were to call to see if we wanted to keep the car, they never called and we could not get anyone to answer. We found no way to tell them that we didn't want it. Now we hear on the news that Carvana is on the verge of bankruptcy and is closing so many of their car pick-up locations. We feel so taken advantage of by Carvana. Buying from Carvana was the worst mistake in my 62 years of life. Will go and buy from our local car dealer next time. Will see the car BEFORE we have to pay for it. No wonder we are hearing they are going out of business. Check out the nightmare stories on YouTube. Ours is just one of many, many disappointed Carvana customers. Do you and your family a favor and DON'T BUY FROM CARVANA!

I checked every major source online and Carvana BY FAR offered the most for my used car. Their were NO surprises whatsoever- I simply dropped off the car and had the money wired via ACH next day. The staff was very friendly and the process was fast. I highly recommend them!

I am still shaking my head about how great this experience was of selling my car to Carvana. They offered me 15% more than any dealer. They only requested a picture of the mileage, my license, and loan payoff. They scheduled pickup 2 days later. They showed up on schedule. I signed 3 documents, handed them the keys and they were gone in 5 minutes. They took pictures of the car at the end of the driveway, loaded on the flatbed and left. While they were taking pictures I received a text that the purchase was complete and money on the way. The next morning the money was in my account! My loan was paid off 2 days later. Not much more to say except that everything they advertise is on point and exceeded any expectation I had. PLEASE PLEASE check Carvana's price before you go to trade your car in. Simple to do and you won't regret it!

I purchased my car from Carvana. They say they make the car buying experience easy, fast and hassle free, not true. If you have a problem they have you call this number wait and then call another number. First, they could not locate my payment (Wire Transfer) after almost a week. Secondly, they had to reschedule delivery 4 times. Initially my car was supposed to be delivered on 10/13, then on 10//11 they texted me stating there was a delay and the car wouldn't be there until 10/18, then on 10/17 they texted stating they need to reschedule delivery to 10/20, then on 10/17 they texted stating there was another delay and the car wouldn't be delivered until 10/24. On October 24, 2022 at 11:00am the car came. A nice gentleman went over the car. I spoke to him about some of the concerns that I had regarding the car.
I received a text message at 12:19pm. "The first step to address your mechanical concerns is to get diagnostic by a preferred repair facility" with a link of repair shops. I just got this car. I was mad! Now I got to follow up with repair shops. Another text message was sent stating that SilverRock will reach out to me within 24 to 48 hours. No one ever called me. Finally, I made an appointment with Firestone, I took the day off drove the car there for my appointment only for them to say come back the following day, they were short mechanics. So I took the car to Chevrolet, whom were on the preferred repair shop. They said they do not work on Volvos. These are the companies that SilverRock have contracted to give estimates and to fix the vehicles they warranty.
I put 1 quart of oil in the car like it said. My oil light came back on, the car was making a noise, when putting gas in the car it kept clicking as if the car was filled with gas, my key worked intermittently. After, speaking to SilverRock I was able to take my car to Volvo of Marietta (due to the key fob.) They inspected the car and I was told that everything would be fixed and that it was under the warranty. Only finding out the day I was supposed to pick up the car they didn't cover the oil consumption test. The car needed brakes and rotors because the back brakes were at 1.5mm. I had just got this car and Carvana says they do a 150 inspection. Needless to say I spoke to the supervisor and they did not cover it. I complained of the brakes squeaking the day I got the car. On 12/7 I picked up my car from Volvo of Marietta. They did top off the oil and said I should drive the car 1200 miles and get the oil consumption test done.
I drove the car 2 weeks. The oil light came on again. I contacted SilverRock they gave me 2 repair shops in my area. The first one did not even answer, I left a message and no return call. Then I called Eurofed Decatur, I made an appointment for 10/27 at 10am. I dropped off my car, no one called me for 2 days. I called them back. I was told they would have to look at the car on 01/2. So I waited and on 01/04 I received a call and an invoice stating he did an oil change and that they were not billing the warranty company for the oil change. I had to pay for the diagnostic test and the oil change $402.00 later. The guy at Eurofed Decatur stated this car hasn't had a oil change in a while. The oil was nasty and the filter was made in China and according to him that's not good for a Volvo.
I called SilverRock and spoke to a woman who tried to convince the guy at Eurofed Decatur to go through the warranty steps but he said he was not. Now I am forced to pay to get my car and complete a request to get my money back from SilverRock. Which may or may not be approved. I am back at square 1. No oil consumption test, drive more miles and wait until my warranty is done in February. Carvana certifies all vehicles 100 days or 4189 miles and completes 150- point inspection to ensure quality. I do not believe one was performed on my car. Bottom line is if Carvana did the 150 inspection like they said I would not be having these problems. Not being able to get in contact to with someone regarding my problem has been very frustrating. They want to to message chat Sebastian their Cardian Angel who is available 24/7. I have only had my car for 72 days!

I was scared at first because I'd never bought a car this way. I asked around and everyone said it was easy. I tried it and I must agree it was very easy. After finding my dream car through Carvana, the process was easy and painless. The follow up customer service was phenomenal! The only reason I don't give this a 5-star rating is because they delivered it with 1/2 tank of gas instead of a full tank and it would've been nice had they washed it. Other than that I absolutely love my Genesis!

Our first Carvana experience was in Jan 2019. Pretty smooth transaction; drove to Jacksonville which is about 4 hrs away. Carvana kept their appointment and it was a great experience. This last experience was much different. We signed a contract a couple days before Christmas and was scheduled to pick up the car the following week. All the requisite items were submitted. The day prior I get a text from Carvana that they had to move the pickup date several days later and at 8 am. That wasn't going to work since we'd be out of town. I got online and rescheduled to 3 Jan 23 (3 days after their 8 am recommendation on 31 Dec 22). Driving back from a family vacation mid-morning on 2 Jan I get another text that the vehicle pickup had to be rescheduled to 23 Jan 23. So now we are looking at almost a full month removed from the original date of picking the car out and scheduling a pickup date.
So, I became curious. Is the car actually still available? Even though you are under contract the website still should have the car available for viewing and indicate "Purchase in Progress." No such indication. The car was nowhere to be found. Though I cannot prove it, my suspicion is Carvana sold it and kept moving my pickup date in hopes I'd just cancel. Well, mission accomplished, Carvana, if that was indeed your motivation.
When I called customer service I said I had lost confidence and wouldn't be scheduling my life events around what I suspected would be another re-schedule. I told them if they could make a concession and deliver to my house (even though I'm outside their 100 mile radius of a location), I'd still purchase the car for trade-in + cash equaling approximately $44,000. They said no. Rigidity in business typically doesn't bode well, especially in a heavily customer service reliant model. The best they could do was offer me some equivalent vehicles to "place in my favorites" on the website. This just fed my suspicion the car I wanted was not available anymore. Once they actually cancel a transaction the car should immediately be available (the representative even said that to me). I looked....the car we were set to purchase was not there.
The entire experience was disappointing especially since they have no method of recording external feedback. The best the representative could do was put in a complaint on my behalf that remains internal to the company. Who operates a business like this, where you are not transparent and honest even in your feedback system? Whether she actually wrote down my concerns or not I cannot confirm. She said she was, but I'm certain it will all go nowhere. Again, good first experience several years ago. This one...much different and I have now gone from recommending Carvana to telling folks to steer clear if asked. Customer service may prove to be the only saving grace for this company since they are declining so rapidly with respect to their bottom line. In a few years this company will no longer be solvent if they don't change their business model and transparency with customers.

I sold a car to Carvana and the entire process was incredibly smooth. About the only gripe I have was the valuation process. I made a small change and had to wait several hours for it to be reviewed. But, that's a minor issue. The communication; capturing of documents and the pick-up of the vehicle was very smooth. Would use them again if I had a need.

We felt that the customer service was very good. Any time we had any questions, or needed anything, the people that we spoke to were knowledgeable and courteous. Two very hard things to find these days, and especially with any of the employees we dealt with. From start to finish everyone was great. The process was pretty smooth, and the car was exactly the way it was advertised. The only thing that would have made our lives easier, was if it could have been delivered. We live about 80 miles from where the pickup spot was in Orlando, but we did not finance through Carvana, so they said they could not deliver it. Either way, we got a good vehicle for a good price. We are happy anyway.

I purchased a vehicle in Dec. 2022. No issues with the website. It was efficient and helpful. The communication was abysmal. With a couple exceptions, every interaction was met with short sightedness, defensiveness, and argument. The first part was inconvenient, and a solid indicator of what was coming. I received an email 2 hours before I was picking up the car that it was delayed for 2 days due to "transportation delays". An EMAIL. TWO HOURS before pickup. This should have been communicated earlier and by phone call. I had to find transportation for the next 2 days.
I arrived for pickup 2 days later to find a filthy car sitting in the parking lot. Once I met with the Sales Advocate, he said that he had to go get papers together and I could take a look at the car if I wanted to. He never walked the car with me or went through any type of checklist to ensure and agree on condition. I told him it was very dirty and he agreed to give me $100 to offset my cleaning expense. He was impersonal and took all enjoyment out of the process. That night, once I had removed all the crud from the car, I found a 5 inch crack in the windshield. This was not disclosed as a defect when purchased, although I don't know how something like that gets missed.
I reached out via chat with a live advocate the following morning and, after more than an hour back and forth, was ultimately told that I needed to wait another 24-48 hours because my account dashboard hadn't updated yet. (How did you sell me a car if you don't have my info?) Anyway, I waited and followed up to let them know. I didn't have any other issues with the vehicle at that time and just wanted the windshield repaired. I reached out via text chat to another live agent. (This chat went on for the next couple hours.)
They immediately told me that this was an "out of pocket expense". I let them know that this was not disclosed, nor did the sales associate inspect the vehicle with me so that we agree on condition. The text agent then said "You can take it to a repair facility so they can provide you with an estimated cost of having it repaired or replaced." Thinking I was finally getting somewhere, I responded: "And what do I do with the estimate? Do I need to take it to a specific place?" Their response: "This is an out of pocket expense." Wait. Did that just happen???
I asked to speak with the departmental manager. Nope. They said that the manager doesn't have a phone. Then, once I repeated that to be sure they knew what they were telling me, they said they could request a call back for me in 24-48 hours. I said "yes, have them call me". She then said she couldn't do that.Due to the course of the two hour text conversation combined with the time already wasted with previous text threads, I asked who I needed to talk to in order to return the vehicle. Knowing that I would never get this level of service from a dealership, my preference is not to do business with any company that cares so little for their customers.
This was her exact response: "We can definitely assist you with the returning process, but we'll require you to fix the windshield, I'm terribly sorry for the inconvenience." It was then crystal clear that it didn't matter that they neglected to complete the walk-through process and sold me a filthy vehicle after costing me 2 days of car rental due to lack of proper communication. They were accusing me of attempting to commit fraud by lying about the windshield, which would have not been more than a couple hundred dollars. We lost much more than that, simply in the time lost on the phone. Carvana would be better to go the route of Dick's Last Resort and just put insulting hats on all of us. That way we all know going in that our patronage will be met with disdain and no one will be disappointed. Never again.

At 69 I'm not only painfully tech illiterate but a proud TECHNO-GROUCH. So much so I've always mocked the whole concept of online car buying despite a half-century of in-person car buying experiences ranging from just frustrating, to comparable to oral surgery! But after two recent failed attempts in one week to buy a used car at auto dealers that well represented the gamut described above, I went to Autotrader.com to further investigate the current state of used hot hatch-backs. That investigation soon focused on VW GTIs; the gold standard of hot-hatches (I've owned two in the past).
It quickly became apparent not only that Carvana had a great selection of GTIs fitting my search filters, but Carvana is competitively priced, their website excellent, and they offered $4000 MORE TRADE-IN value for my 2017 Ram 1500 truck than did either brick-and-mortar car dealer! The much higher trade-in value allowed me to comfortably increase the price search filter by $3000 and decrease the odometer-mileage filter.
So I got an almost like-new GTI with only 22,000 miles rather than twice that, for less out-of-pocket than I imagined possible. Took me a couple days to read, UNDERSTAND every word, and complete all documents required to complete the auto purchase completely online (as you'd imagine), but it was easier to accomplish than I'd thought.
My new (used) GTI is every bit as nice as thoroughly described by Carvana. And when I discovered I'd left my garage-door opener clipped to the visor of my trade-in, a call to Carvana got my door opener back in my hands two days later (by FedEx)... no charge! I'd have never thunk this old techno-grouch would be leaving a glowing review about an online car-buying experience, but IT'S ALL GOOD!

My husband and me decided to trade in my car on a Sunday. All documents were submitted on Sunday. I spoke to a representative on Monday to go over the mileage and payoff for my trade-in. The payment was supposed to be $93 a month. Everything was done and I signed the contract to have it scheduled for delivery. I received another phone call the same week lowering my trade-in value which increased my cost of financing. They also increased my interest rate. Now they wanted $114 a month payment.
I told the representative that I wanted what I was originally quoted and signed for and they absolutely refused to give me it or do anything to help me with the situation. I was put on hold for over 30 minutes just to come back with we can't honor the offer that was originally offered to me. I was so upset over the experience. Then they were supposed to deliver the car on December 23. I was contacted again saying that they couldn't deliver it until December 30. They were very unprofessional in my opinion.

1) You can use the "free shipping" filter but still pay for shipping. I was charged $790 for "free shipping". No, I don't mean delivery.
2) Delayed the pick-up date by more than a week. I read in reviews that this is more common than uncommon. No reason. They say they can't track the vehicle or communicate with the driver. Sure.
3) Despite 3 calls to verify the "vending machine" was working, it was broken, and had been for a few weeks. To some this isn't a big deal. But to a mother who took her young child from bed at the break of dawn on Christmas break so he could put the big coin in and watch the music and lights, it was a big deal. I even got a name from customer service and was told to call her directly if there was a problem - she was very convincing. When I called and asked for her, she was in a meeting. Right.
4) There were two new door dings which happened in transit because they were not in the original pictures. The scratches were so deep they took off the paint and left grooves in the metal. I was told to load pictures to the site and the company would reimburse the cost or fix it. Instead, I submitted pictures and within 10 minutes had a response that it was a used vehicle (2022 4Runner) and this was to be expected and they would not cover it. Salt in the wound was that I paid $790 to ship, during which it was scratched.
5) Don't pay any attention to the dates that pop up for pick up or delivery. They are completely made up. The site said I could have my vehicle within 2 days even though one of those days was Christmas and the vehicle was in a different state- obviously, this isn't going to be accurate.
6) 20+ min hold times or you can chat with a robot or text with the same robot. They don't want you to reach them because it's never for a happy reason. Now, if they need your paperwork or an answer they are going to call and they are going to be sure they have everything THEY need. It's a very one-sided business relationship and that's exactly what you'll feel.
After working with Carvana I really just feel abused. Every step of the way it was the customer that had to accept the bad news. They could not care less, and it showed. It was a take it or leave it attitude. I recommend working with a traditional company because it would save money. A salesperson whose money is made only if a deal is made is far more likely to not let you walk away and would compensate delays, scratches, and malfunctions. I could have saved money working with a traditional company, Carvana is good at manipulation and have convinced consumers otherwise.

This experience by far had been the WORST car buying experience that I have ever had, from a company that supposedly prides itself on convince! My wife and I purchase a Mercedes from Carvana on Thursday December 8, 2022 with an expected delivery of Wednesday December 14, 2022 at 3:45p at their Gaithersburg Maryland vending site, an early Christmas gift for my wife. At 3:30pm on the day of pick up I received a call from Carvana, just as were out the door on our way to the location, telling us the vehicle did not pass inspection and that they have to reschedule the pick-up for Friday December 16th. As inconvenient as that was considering we took the time from work for the pick-up we agreed.
Two days later on that Friday, the day of pick up, when we arrived at the designated time we were told the vehicle wasn’t ready and that it was being “detailed’. They had us waiting for about and hour, when no other customer was at the location. When the representative finally came out to complete the paperwork it looked as if he had just woke up from a nap. While finishing the paperwork the “detailed” car had finally arrived. We went outside to look at the vehicle and it looked as if it had just been ran through a local gas station car wash. It was still dirty with water marks on the body and windows, the inside was not cleaned, or at least cleaned well. We still took the car, even though we didn’t get that promoted vending machine experience they so proudly advertise, whatever!
To any extent as we were diving back to the house suddenly the back tire sensors go off indicating that the cars two rears tire were severely underinflated (the tires should be at 39psi, they were at 23 and 24psi). They let us drive off the lot without checking the tires' air pressure, a safety risk! We made it home and I put air in the tires, which didn’t even have tires caps BTW. We decided to put this experience behind us and go to dinner to celebrate her new vehicle. On the way back from dinner the entire dashboard lite up like a Christmas tree with all kinds of alerts and warnings, along with the check engine light. The next morning, we called Carvana and they had us take it to one of their in-network mechanics (exactly what I wanted to do on my Saturday).
After running a diagnostic on the car the mechanic concluded that the car's front sensor was faulty and that without the sensor he could not even begin to tell us what other things could be wrong with the vehicle. We called Carvana obviously upset. They offered a $250 cash back if we decided to swap out the vehicle with another one that we might like. So we looked at the inventory, and against my better judgement, went through the process again on the phone with them for the swap out Saturday evening. We specified that we wanted to pick up the vehicle on Wednesday December 21 at 3:30pm.
Upon reviewing the new paperwork that was sent we realized they put the wrong pick up date, Friday the 23rd as oppose to Wednesday the 21st as we requested (which by the way a winter storm is forecasted for that day so who knows if we get it that day). In summary, we made the initial purchase Dec 8 and won't get our vehicle until possibly Dec 23rd at the earliest! So what have I learned from this car buying experience? Carvana doesn’t care about my time, my business and apparently my safely. NEVER EVER AGAIN!!!

1st time Carvana consumer, but not the last time. Entire experience was seamless and hassle and haggle free! The Carvana representatives were extremely helpful and knowledgeable. They walked us through the process bumper to bumper. They answered all my questions, and I had quite a few and if there was anything they couldn't answer right away they put me in contact with a team leader who could. And with the exception of one representative all went the extra mile in customer service. We found the exact vehicle make, year and model, exterior and interior color AND the all important mileage we wanted. The relief of not having to deal with a car lot representative was a huge plus! I would most certainly use Carvana again without hesitation.
Now, the delivery portion...not so much. Yes. It was delivered on date promised. Upon arrival I was informed that my CORVETTE, yes a Corvette had been damaged upon loading. I was told ramps were not used when car was loaded and due to this the front rubber guard was dragged off the bumper and damaged. I was also told it would drag while unloading. I borrowed ramps from my neighbor and vehicle was unloaded without any issues or more damage. Also I had to purchase new wipers immediately due to inclement rainy weather and the wipers which were on the Corvette were partly shredded and the rubber was almost non existent on one of the blades and only partially attached. You would think that this would have been taken care of upon inspection and before delivering.
The damage to the bumper will be covered by the Carvana Warranty. I have no complaints regarding the purchasing or the Carvana website. I have an AMAZING car and the experience was stress free and painless. The delivery portion left a bit to be desired. When you are trusted to transport an expensive high end sports car you would think ramps and precaution would be used to avoid ANY cosmetic or other damages. I would not hesitate to use Carvana again.

I was very surprised when car arrived 10 days late. Brakes and rotors were actually replaced to brand new ones. Brand new four Continental tires were put on. Car came with actual plate and registration. Not temporary registration or plates. Except for the delay to repair my car's brakes and rotors & put 4 brand new tires. Now delay became acceptable lol. I recommend them only cause issue was fixed and process was very convenient. Also they kept their words regarding perfecting the car before delivery. I would definitely buy again.

I am in process of buying a SUV from them. It's a disaster. Delivery date was pushed from original date twice, more delays to come. They text you and reschedule a time at their most convenient time. You are not informed as to why it's being delayed and where the car is. They are BIG TIME LIARS. My SUV Carfax history shows its brakes and rotors were replaced 2000 miles ago at the dealer. But when I called to ask, "Why a 10 day delay?" They said because rotors and brakes were bad so it will take 10 days.
So they didn't perform 150 point inspection? They find out that my SUV's brakes are bad a day before my delivery date? Stay away from them. If you are reading other people's review with similar experience you can clearly see that they are just copy-pasting answer to customer's issues. Not a single human answering the issues or concerns. Not a single issue is being corrected. So many people I know experience same exact problem. Still waiting for my car...
We know our customers are excited to purchase a new vehicle, but when that vehicle is delayed it hinders that experience. We understand our customers rely on their vehicles for transportation and lifestyle. We are very sorry to have inconvenienced you, and thankful for your feedback.

I purchased a vehicle from Carvana. There were multiple issues on day nine of owning the car the service engine soon light was on. I took the car to a reputable car repair facility. The tires were 10 years old and dry rotted (could not tell by looking but rode hard), there was an oil leak, gaskets needed replaced, the wrong oil filter for this particular car was on the car, the gas line was weak could leak at any time and the back struts were leaking. Carvana paid for the gaskets and struts. I had to pay for the tires $1000. The gas leak was not covered because it was not broken completely and leaking (I could not take a chance on it leaking with fumes being flammable) this was $889.00 plus the service to get the right oil filter on and oil change. Completed.
I then paid the $200 deductible and parts for repairs I had to pay. I paid for the car and nine days later had to pay another $2200. Just waiting for the next repairs that I may not know about. Will never suggest buying a car from Carvana. As people have asked me and I tell them my experience. I am currently waiting on the key fob that was not working when I got the car, it is supposed to be ordered and going to be taken care of.

I found just the car I was looking for on Carvana. I have used Carmax for the past several purchases and assumed this was similar - I was wrong. It was difficult to get a real person to help when I had questions. Each time I talked to a real person, I was given conflicting information from the previous person I had spoken with. Some of the issues:
I was first told I could use the sale of my car I was replacing to offset the sales tax on my purchase - I needed only to upload an official state Bill of Sale. Then days later I was told that was not possible and needed to be handled by the DOV. Fine, but give me the correct answer in the first place.
2) Carvana moved my delivery date three times. The last time I literally was on the phone with a customer advocate that assured me everything was in order and my car would be delivered in the next two days as stated. Less than an hour later I received an auto-generated email that my delivery date was moved to the following week. LESS THAN AN HOUR from being told differently. I had sold my car and was without for this period of time.
3) When I received the car there was no front license plate bracket. I live in Missouri and the car was delivered to Missouri and tagged in Missouri. Missouri REQUIRES a front tag. I was told first that they would pay for one, but the next guy that walked in the door said all they would do is drill two holes in the bumper and I would have to take care of that.
4) My vehicle arrived missing a rubber hood stop which was clearly visible in all of the pictures of the vehicle. Too bad. They don't cover or replace that. It was in the pictures and NOT on the vehicle.
5) They really want you to finance with them. I have excellent credit. They offered a rate of almost 11%!!!! I financed at my bank for just over half that. They offered me 1/3 of the trade in value on the car I was getting rid of. In conclusion - no - I would not recommend Carvana. Carmax was much easier to work with. While I'm glad I found the car I wanted, I will not use Carvana again and will not recommend them to anyone else.

When you purchase a car on Carvana, their application is coded to clearly provide you a message that you do not need to provide proof of insurance until the day prior to delivery. However, if the representative does not like your response (in my case providing proof the car was insured under my business policy), they manually change the due date to provide proof of insurance to less than 24 hrs. Knowing a corporation is willing to change the terms of data after a transaction has been executed by the consumer is a very uneasy feeling and would likely be considered illegal and an act of fraud if legal action is taken. I wish to leave this post here so that when enough consumers feel fraud has been committed, an attorney working in a class-action lawsuit will know to examine the fraudulent activity.

I was a bit hesitant at first and explored online reviews. When I found that my own bank is actually recommending Carvana I felt much better and went for it. The app and website are extremely well-made. I ordered a car then easily canceled it within a day, no questions asked. Then I ordered another car and stuck with it. The delivery was very professional and the people were extremely friendly. They gave me time to go over the car and test drive it while they waited curbside. Because they were a couple of hours late (they called ahead) they gave me an extra 100 miles to drive the car on the first week (it is normally 400 miles). The delivery guy gave me his personal number to call with any questions and advised me to take the car for further inspection at my mechanic's during that first week (which I did and it passed with flying colors).
After a week of driving the car, I decided to keep it. There were no surprises and no hassle. Overall I am satisfied. The only reason I gave this review four stars instead of five is the cost. While I do understand that as a customer I am paying for my peace of mind, I think the overall cost can be a bit less. I estimate that I paid between 15 to 20% more than what I would have paid at a regular dealer.

I sold my car to Carvana, I did not buy one from them. I have to say the whole process was relatively painless. They made the best online offer and in the end I had 2 phone calls to close the deal.

Start to finish took less than 48 hours. I had to take some pictures of the car and some documents, but that was pretty much it. I would absolutely sell a car to Carvana again.

I purchased a 2014 Dodge Dart from Carvana, and I am beyond Satisfied with how the entire process went. I traded a 2010 Scion TC, and purchased the 2014 Dodge Dart Limited with no down payment. The entire process was very easy to complete. The delivery process was very smooth. I received a 7-day money-back guarantee with a 100 day warranty. The day the car was delivered the driver informed me about a crack in the taillight, and informed me that Carvana would be covering the repair at no cost to me through SilverRock Auto. On the 5th day we noticed a burning smell with the brakes so I took it to Midas and it was covered. I also took the vehicle to the Dodge Dealership, and paid for an inspection before my 7 day money back guarantee was up.
Dodge informed me that the Dodge Dart was in mint condition, and that whoever had it before me took very good care of the car. They also told me that there was no issues with the vehicle, and that it had never been in any accidents. They did however inform me about 2 recalls which Dodge is fixing free of charge. I am just waiting on the parts to come in, and that will be fixed. Overall Dodge told me that I made a great purchase, and I was able to purchase an extended warranty through Dodge in case there are hiccups along the way after my 100 day warranty expires. I am very pleased, and I would like to thank everyone at Carvana that personally helped to get me into my dream car. 10 out of 10. I would definitely recommend Carvana.

I was provided an offer to purchase my 2017 Murano for $21,420, which I accepted. The day before I was supposed to deliver the car to Carvana I updated the car features and mileage. I had forgotten to add to the car profile that the car came equipped with a Technology package from Nissan. The mileage update was less than 100 miles. After the update, the offer price dropped to $19,869. A drop of over $1,500! I added new features, which should have increased the offer price. The woman at Carvana said that since the new features could not be insured, the price dropped. This didn't make sense because the features were factory, not aftermarket. Seller beware. Don't change your car profile. It could cost you!

I love the idea of not having to sit in a little room while the dealership takes my keys away and won't let me go until I buy a car. Carvana really is a good idea. The website is easy, browsing cars and getting all the info I needed was easy and just as good as being there. I rated it lower because I had a series of delivery date changes. On one delivery change I was going to go over the allotted miles before delivery on my car so we were doing a new odometer read but when we were doing a new odometer read the price on the car I was buying went up $1000!
It took many calls waiting 20 minutes or more each time talking to several different people over several days to finally talk to someone who knew what they were doing who fixed it in a couple of minutes. Fortunately I had signed my contract so the price was returned to the original selling price. Be sure to sign your contract right away! That's the only thing that saved me the $1000, the price of the car can change at any time if you haven't signed a contract. That experience is what made me think twice about this. If I had one person to talk to throughout this process, that I could text, not even call that knew what they were doing and fix things when things went wrong, it would have been a much better experience.
After four delivery date changes I did get the car. I took it to a Nissan dealership and it was in great shape so I bought it. It took four weeks and unfortunately too much worry. But I wouldn't say don't use Carvana, someone was trying to help me and things went wrong, the problem was the system, not having an expediting system to someone who knows how to fix a problem right away like the person I finally, accidentally found.

I sold my car to Carvana yesterday and right from the start the process was very simple from start to finish. However, there was one caveat that for me justified a 3-star rating as opposed to 5 and that is an issue with payment. Their offer was $1,400 above what my payoff was and as promised the driver had a check in hand. Unfortunately, when I deposited the check there was an immediate 10-day hold on the funds. We're not talking tens of thousands here, but a meager $1,400 dollars.
As per my bank, the hold originated from the bank Carvana issues payment from. No other info could be given to me as to why except for Carvana's customer service rep informing me that payments on their end come from something called a zero balance account. No idea what that means but that's all the info I received. I write this because if this was a large sum and I needed that money right away for another purchase, that would be a problem. So do yourself a favor and find out if you'll have to wait for payment especially if you're dealing with a significant amount of money. Not having access to a meager payout for 10 days is unacceptable.

Hands down the simplest, most efficient car buying experience I’ve ever had. The website was easy to navigate. Financing was super simple. The entire buying process after choosing my truck took about 25 minutes. Rather than a half day day affair at a dealership fighting off salespeople trying to sell me things I didn’t need or want. The vehicle delivery was scheduled and an appointment time was given. Carvana advocates stayed in touch with me through the process. My vehicle was delivered on the date provided and precisely at the time given. The delivery driver was extremely professional and friendly. I took advantage of the 7 day trial when I decided I wanted a more optioned out version of the truck I first took delivery of.
Carvana was friendly about the change of mind and it was a very simple process to choose another. No issues whatsoever. The new truck was scheduled for delivery and Carvana stayed in touch through the process. Again, the delivery driver for the next truck was just as professional and friendly as the first. No issues, no hassles. The entire exchange took maybe 20 minutes. My wife will be next in the market for a new vehicle and Carvana is first on our list. After dealing with them, I wouldn’t deal with anyone else. First time in my life a car buying experience was a pleasant and simple one!

While I would love to give 5 stars because I believe this is a great resource for buying a vehicle I am sorry to say that this wasn't the case on my purchase. During my buying process in the beginning I was disconnected in the middle of the process and almost lost my opportunity to purchase the vehicle I wanted. Second, after that issue was fixed once I got to the last step for insurance verification I was given a deadline and didn't think anything of it. Then out of the blue before that deadline I received an email saying it expired. This happened twice before the issue was fixed. So I nearly lost the chance two more times. Finally and the most frustrating part was when the vehicle was dropped off it had a bolt stuck in the tire, two different brands of tires, chip in the windshield, low battery in the key fob and one of the seats is very hard to move up in order to let people into the third row.
The bolt was discovered immediately and I was advised it wouldn't be an issue getting it fixed. Then it went flat a couple hours later. So then I had to argue and deal with Carvana for an hour to get it fixed. All the while they would not take responsibility to make it right without a hassle. The other issues were discovered within a couple hours of drop off and reported. But was told I had to go through the warranty process. A warranty isn't for repairs that should've been done before the vehicle was sold. Warranty is for things that happen after a purchase. I am highly disappointed in the way I was treated and I still haven't got these issues resolved with an extreme amount of hassle. Carvana seems to not care once the vehicle is off their hands!

We were in the market for a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited and found what we thought we were looking for on Carvana. It was the right package and included both the soft-top and hard-top according to the vehicle description. After a few delays and changes to the delivery date, we finally went to the "vending machine" to get the vehicle. The first disappointment was that the vending machine was broken. Supposedly this was rare but I'm seeing it was the first of many lies. Regardless, the vehicle was outside and looked to be in good shape. Once we finally got the attention of the attendant who was overwhelmed (even though we all had appointments) we got down to completing the deal.
The first thing we asked was where the hard-top was being kept. The attendant got nervous, said she had to check on it, and disappeared in the back for a while. In the meantime we completed sign all documents and were ready to go. When she returned she told us she spoke with the "inside team" and they told her that what is shown under the vehicle description is simply the ORIGINAL FACTORY WINDOW STICKER and that we shouldn't expect all the accessories to be there. I can maybe understand that for some floor mats or a cigarette lighter but this is a $3000 roof!! Carvana says they inspect each car but they didn't update the listing with a huge missing item? Of course we were upset. The attendant suggested we utilize the 7-day return window and that she was sure the inside team would make it right. We naively thought that would be the case.
The next day we called the inside team and explained the situation. The agent fully agreed with us and why we would be upset, to the point of getting a supervisor physically on the floor to see what next steps might be. That conversation ended with him saying that the "pricing team" would need to review to see if they could reimburse for the cost of the roof, but that at the very least they would refund us $500 for our trouble. He said he was unavailable the following day but assured us he would contact with the final resolution on the day after when he was back at work. Of course neither he nor anyone else called back when they said they would. So, I followed up today.
The agent I spoke with read me the details from the ticket which basically amounted to "Too Bad". The excuse is that they have a small disclaimer in tiny gray print at the bottom of the listing that says "Please note: The equipment listed above is the configuration of the vehicle as originally sold. Items such as XM and other service subscriptions, original tires, and removable accessories (such as cargo nets) are unlikely to still be on the vehicle.". That's right, THE HARDTOP ROOF is considered a removable item. What about the seats? I can remove those in a Jeep. The windshield? No problem. It's a couple of clips.
So now we're faced with a dilemma. Do we go on our own and purchase a hardtop, spending money we weren't expecting in the deal? Do we go through the hassle of driving 45 minutes and who knows what paperwork to return the vehicle? The vehicle is fine. It's actually really nice. But we're soured on the entire process. It feels like we're dealing with a lowlife shady used-car dealer that pulls you in with a bait-and-switch hoping that we will only learn about the issues when it's too late.

Initially, the experience of buying a car online seemed convenient. However, it took much longer than anticipated and documents, required were confusing. If that had been the only problem, it would’ve been all right. However, they were delivered the wrong vehicle. I didn’t realize until after test driving it, and the driver left that the Vin number did not match. The Carfax had also been altered to indicate a jump from 40,000 miles to the current 27,000 miles with no explanation. After multiple attempts to contact online I had to stay on the phone and wait close to half an hour to speak with a human. They arranged to pick up the vehicle with no explanation of what had happened.
As they had taken a down payment, I proceeded to find a similar vehicle on their website and ask them to please deliver this instead. Once again, the online documents took a long time and required multiple texts and phone calls with my loan officer and Carvana. An advocate for Carvana told me my down payment would be transferred to a new vehicle with a refund of the difference. However, a whole new down payment was removed from my bank account. Now Carvana has taken a total of over $20,000 which resulted in an overdraft of my account, the idea of buying a car solely online sounds good, however, this company seems inadequate, and I would not suggest them to anyone.

Purchased a used (2019) vehicle. Upon delivery, we found items wrong with vehicle that were not noted in description and delivery driver documented. Driver even found cosmetic damage that was not disclosed and documented it for us. Warranty company (Silver Rock Carvana) with whom there is a 100 day warranty, reached out and advised to take car to shop that same day. 2 separate shops, 1 for cosmetic and 1 for diagnostic. 7 day money back warranty was during Thanksgiving week and actually fell over Thanksgiving day, but still counted (even though nothing was open or available). Basically stuck with the car, got it into diagnostic shop as soon as possible (day 11) and was advised over $1700 in repairs needed. Warranty company was advised and denied all claims stating car was accepted at time of delivery (even though issues were well documented and there is a 100 day warranty on car plus manufacturer’s warranty).
Contacted Carvana and was told warranty company made their decision and nothing more could be done. This car supposedly passed Carvana’s 150 point inspection, but all problems stemmed from their work! Brakes were done wrong (rotor machined wrong and calipers sticking making breaking difficult and noisy), oil pan plug was plastic and installed incorrectly causing oil drips, air filters full of leaves, and never touched causing smell inside, sunroof not sealing properly, fog light broken, and the list goes on!
Carvana “advocate” refused any assistance and when asked to speak with someone else was told no one else would speak with me and they stood behind warranty companies decision. And I still have 2 other shops to take this car to just get it to the point where it matched Carvana’s description! So yeah, I should either have never purchased this car with this lousy company who doesn’t back their products (cars or warranties), or should have returned it within the 7 days, on Thanksgiving no less (when they weren’t even open), because the warranty is absolutely a joke and the company could care less.
I did ask about the manufacturers warranty and they couldn’t even give me any info on it! Said I have to call manufacturer myself! Gee thanks for selling me a car you “inspected” and caused more problems to, promoting a warranty you don’t honor and another you know nothing about!! Save yourself money, time, and stress and buy elsewhere! Anywhere else!

Updated on 12/02/2022: UPDATE: while typing this Nick called me and said that he is doing the buyback of the Kia and overnighting the check for my Fiat and he will have Bridgecrest return the payment of $319 to me but that will be after Dec 7th and take 7-10 days after the 7th. He said he was going to call me back before he clocks out tonight to make sure we are still on the same page. We will see if he calls. I truly hope he does. I let him know all I am wanting is the Kia to be picked up, the money for the sale of my Fiat (that Carvana has had since Sept 29th) and my payment of $319 returned so that I can move forward and decide if I want to purchase another car from Carvana with a clean slate. He was under the impression that I was trying to do a swap and I am not.
I am planning on using the money I receive for selling my Fiat ($3472) towards a new purchase. I told him I just want to put all this behind me and act as if none of this ever happened. I don't want this on my Carvana account. I want to start fresh and pray for the best. I am hoping all this gets done because I really do love the concept of buying a car this way, and I realize that mistakes happen but they also need to be solved. The quicker this is solved the better. I am trying to stay in good spirits it is Christmas time and this was suppose to be my early Christmas present from my husband. I hope that I can find the perfect car to replace the car that I chose that couldn't be tagged or registered. Please follow up with this and make sure that it is completed. I am eating the cost of insurance for this Kia that I can't drive and I am not thrilled about that, just saying. BTW he did not call back and issue is still pending
Original Review: I purchased a car from Carvana in SC and over 60 days later, no tag, no registration, they claim to be waiting on the title to arrive. They promised a refund and to bring my trade-in back to me and have yet to do so. When I call they say it will be a few more days. Finally, I just asked for my 1st car payment back and the check for the sale of my car since they have my trade-in's title which I gave them, they agreed and said they would have it taken care of the next day now 2 days later nothing. They put me in touch with a supervisor who never answers the phone and never returns calls. She was texting me but has stopped doing that as well. Her last text was, "Give me 3-5 more days." I responded and no response from her in over 3 hours.

Sold a car with 16,000 miles to Carvana. Went to get my $ back for the extended warranty and the release of liability showed 116,000 miles. Only 100,000 miles off. Contacted them 4 times and they finally told me to go to DMV and have the information they wrote down changed. Good luck on that. So now I am out $1200 for the extended warranty.

Easiest transaction for buying car. From choosing my vehicle, financing to traded in my car, every step was clear and precise. Company detailed each step with easy-to-follow instructions. Car was delivered to me early. Every step was quick and easy to follow. Would recommend Carvana. Much better than going to dealer and being pressured into something off the lot really don’t want.

Ended up taking it to a specialized shop for a full inspection and was not reimbursed. I paid for their mistake in delivering a vehicle in this condition.

This has been the most stressful, ridiculous experience, and it's not even over yet. This crap show of a journey began October 17 when I got an offer for my trade in. It was at least $1,000 MORE than what another dealership offered, so I jumped on board immediately. I should've ran. First things first, communication with Carvana is a nightmare. I had to reschedule pickup multiple times (at least 3-4 different times), and at least twice was due to poor communication with Carvana. The first time, they called me 2 hours before my deadline to let me know I had documents that still needed to be submitted. 2 whole hours.
The second time, I had to reschedule pickup because they said they were "waiting on me to call to verify the 10 day payoff address". I NEVER got any sort of notification that they were waiting on me. No phone call, no notification on my dashboard, nothing. They expected me to know that they were waiting on me. ALSO, they had already asked for proof of the loan (pic of the check front and back), which I submitted. They couldn't give me an answer of why they let me go ahead and submit the loan when the 10 day payoff statement wasn't verified. Because of this, my bank had to pull strings to change the loan amount (and I had to pay additional fees to my bank) to the correct amount AFTER the 10 day payoff was finally verified. I then also had to pay a $40 "down-payment" to Carvana due to the interest on the trade-in that was still going while the process kept getting delayed.
Fast forward to pickup of my new car, everything was good until I went to drive away. As soon as I pressed on the brake, it was immediately known that the car needed brakes and rotors. The entire car shook and you could hear the grinding of metal on metal where everything was so worn down. It was HARDLY drivable, and braking when going over 30 mph was terrifying. They should NOT have sold anyone a car that had brakes that terrible. I then began the process of returning that vehicle the same night that I got it. They will tell you that they will overnight the loan check back to your bank, but that "overnight" process lasts 3-5 business days, not including weekends.
I finally got into the new car that I am still in now (and I LOVE it!), but realized the next day after I picked it up that they gave me the wrong temporary registration (& temp tag), so I then had to make my 3rd trip to the vending machine to pickup the correct registration and temp tag. Not a big deal, but highly inconvenient. And once more fast forward to now. The trade in payoff check was sent to the wrong address, in a whole different state. Now Carvana is EXTREMELY particular in the sense that they insist on an overnight address being on the 10 day payoff statement, and it can't be a PO Box. But apparently that confused them so much they decided to send it to the wrong address to some other random bank in Pennsylvania. This caused me to make ANOTHER car payment that I shouldn't have had to make because CARVANA messed up.
Moral of the story, just don't do it. Save yourself the intense stress and exhaustion and just go to a "normal" dealership. Angry doesn't even begin to describe what I feel towards Carvana, and I can almost guarantee you they will not do anything to right all of their wrongs, they will simply place the blame somewhere else.

This was my very first vehicle I have purchased and financed. Usually I just buy cars up front, I am beyond satisfied with my experience purchasing through Carvana. I had been shopping for a while as I needed a vehicle that was more dependable and has better gas mileage. I purchased a Honda civic and I am so happy with my purchase. It was delivered right to my house. It was delayed by about 30 minutes but the driver contacted me and communicated that to me which was very helpful. He was very professional and courteous and I truly appreciated that. I have officially had the car for a week and it everything has been great with my car. I would definitely recommend Carvana to anyone that wants to avoid the hassle and stress of going into a car lot, it was an awesome experience for me!

Carvana was recommended to me by a couple of people so I decided to try. When I wrote details of my trade in, it was clear my car had a Check Engine Light on and no one said it could be an issue. Until delivery day when the driver told me they can’t take the car with a CE Light. So delivery was delayed until I could get it fixed.
A week later the car I chose was delivered, and I got to drive it maybe 3 miles before it had a major mechanical failure and broke down. I took it to the shop recommended by SilverRock where it has sat for 3 weeks unrepaired. By week 2 (and asking for extensions on the 7 day guarantee because I never got to really drive the car), I asked Carvana for a return of the new car and to get my old car back.
I originally told I’d get it back last Friday, then last Saturday. Now no one knows when the return can happen. Through all this I have had no personal car to drive since Nov 8 and have had to resort to Ride Share and Rental Cars to get to work. I understand that this may not be a typical experience, but this should never happen (and the car I chose should have never been listed with the issues it has).

Everything was going well, we received the car on time and was clean outside and inside also working well. After we received the car we took it for inspection, they found a dead rat and a nest inside the AC cabin filter. They cleaned it and they charged us $418. We talked to 3 advocates over chat to get that reimbursed and they all said to contact Silver Rock. Silver Rock said it's not a mechanical issue, so they are not responsible. One advocate only offered $100 but that is not what we had to pay. We are paying for something that Carvana should have checked. They have this 150 point inspection but they missed the rat and now they don't want to be responsible for that. I don't feel is fair for us to pay for something that is not our responsibility. We have proof with pictures and receipt. We would like to get it reimbursed, we are very disappointed. If it wasn't for their denial in reimbursing this, I would have given them 5 stars.

I originally purchased a vehicle through Carvana and planned to trade in my current car with them. The new vehicle was set to be delivered and I was later informed it would be delayed for two weeks, with no explanation. When I called to inquire, I learned the car had mechanical issues and that I could either wait for repairs or I could find a new vehicle. So, I take the time yet again to find a new vehicle to purchase, go through the entire purchase process, and finally have it scheduled to be delivered two weeks later, which was this morning. At no point during this process was I ever informed that the the other individual on the title would have to be present for the vehicle delivery, after they had asked for a photo of his ID and expressed no issue with anything when this information was shared and submitted.
I get a call 30 minutes before delivery to ask if that individual would be present for delivery, to which I told them no and asked why. They proceed to tell me that he would have to be present per California law, and that someone should have notified me of this already. I informed him this was not possible as the individual is in another state, to which he replied a solution would be to fly this person out here so I could have the car delivered. He offered one other solution of mailing the title, having it signed, having it mailed back, then going to the DMV to have his name removed, but informed me this typically takes two weeks and that after two weeks my Carvana order would be cancelled. I specifically asked that my order not yet be cancelled so I could look into finding a solution.
I log in a few hours later to find that my order has been completely cancelled without any notification from Carvana. I am frustrated by the lack of communication and business practices I have faced over the last nearly month of dealing with this entire process.

My wife purchased a vehicle online and was trading in our truck for the new vehicle, everything seemed too good to be true, because it was! We completed all the paperwork, had our truck appraised, and were given a delivery date of 11/25/2022, but 2 minutes before scheduled delivery time we were told that our delivery was rescheduled until 12/2/2022, which is a whole week later. My wife called the company and was told to initiate a chat as it would be faster, we were then told that they needed to appraise our truck which takes 5 days, wait what?? We were past this point, but somehow none of it was in the computer.
How do you go from finalizing all the necessary paperwork, put a deposit down, and then it was no longer in the computer and we needed to initiate the process again? Unacceptable! I told my wife to cancel everything as this made me uncomfortable and wary of their business practices. We are owed our deposit, and we had purchased insurance for the car because we had to have it for the car to be dropped off. This was a complete and total waste. We contacted a REAL dealership and they actually offered us thousands of dollars more for our trade in, and the car we wanted was newer and a few thousand dollars less.

If you want to wait a month for your vehicle and face SEVEN delays with little to NO information as to why there are delays, then order from Carvana. After spending a number of hours buying my husband's vehicle at the dealership, I said to myself, I really want to save time and just buy from home. It'll be a lot less stressful. YEAH RIGHT. Every time my car delivery was delayed, all I got was "A logistical delay". There were NO details to actually explain WHERE my car was, or when I was going to receive it. There are a number of factors that impact their delay and THEY JUST DON'T CARE. They'll move your delivery date as many times as they want, and only offer a "Sorry, we can't guarantee a delivery date".
With every single delay, you have to move your insurance coverage date on the vehicle, make sure you can move your schedule to be home on the new date/time, ask for forgiveness to keep borrowing your MIL's car because they CAN'T give you any money towards a rental car, AND if you loaned money, your bank will be charging interest on the loan since inception. The loan has to be in place before Carvana will even schedule delivery. So I waited an ENTIRE MONTH for delivery and paid an entire month of interest to my bank lender on a vehicle that I didn't even have in my possession. Oh, but Carvana offered me $150 via check to be mailed AFTER registration was completed (after you've accepted the vehicle).
I finally got my car delivered and it had 250 miles more on it than advertised. Ummm... NOBODY at any number I called could explain how these miles were put on the car. NOBODY CARED. That's a few hours of someone driving the car that nobody could explain. What you just lost the car for a few hours? NO TRANSPARENCY. I was hung up on multiple times by Carvana during this experience, emails not returned.. They just don't give a crap about you. So go spend a day at the dealership and walk away with your car, and just be done. Suffer for a few hours instead of weeks and walk away with a car at a dealership. STAY AWAY FROM CARVANA.

The delivery was delayed a week so I could fix the issue.
Then I got my Sonic and the very next day it broke down with what turned out to be a brake/control arm issue that took several days to fix. I feel like Carvana should have known about this issue before putting the car on the site. I had the car less than 24 hours and drove it 3 miles before it had to go to the shop for major repairs.

Given the number of local places to buy a car, the only reason to use Carvana is the convenience of the car and paperwork being brought right to my home. And that's what the ads show. What they don't show is delivery is only available if you finance the car. If you want to purchase it outright you have to go to one of their locations.
I found a nifty little $30k buggy and started the purchase process, but they don't disclose that they won't deliver until you are in process and tell them you want to just pay it off. That's one sale they just lost, I'll go to a local dealer rather drive an hour and a half to the nearest Carvana outlet. Disclosure upfront would have kept me from wasting time on their website.

I had heard good things about Carvana. My experience did not match what I had heard. My car delivery was delayed 4 times. The first two times were due to them requesting more information after completing all information. The first time they gave me 2 hours to complete it and I was on the road...this delayed my delivery by 2 days. The next time they gave me 5 minutes to fill in requested information. I was online when the request came through and was in the chat room with them to complete the info but the 5 minutes expired and they delayed me again 3 days.
It was finally time for my delivery and I got a notice at 8:00 am the day of delivery that it was delayed another 3 days. Delivery was then scheduled for 4:00 on a Thursday. I called them at 4:30 and was told it would not be delivered that day but I could go to their office to pick it up. Had I not called what would have happened. From the very first login online to when I picked up the car at their office I never once was called by a live person to address any of the issues. The price was right but I doubt I would use them again due to the impersonal nature, multiple delays experience and overall frustrating process.
