    This was my second purchase from Carvana. Although we had a little snafu with paperwork, it was resolved within 24 hours. Tiffany and Geronimo could not have been kinder or more determined to get everything smoothed out within one call.

    The purchase process was lengthy and it was not easy to speak with someone to get questions answered. We received the car on 9/5/2026, 1 week ago today. Since that time we had to replace all 4 tires. There were 2 different types of tires on the car. One of the front tires had a huge gouge in the tire and a bubble, the other front tire had metal coming out of the tire. Yes, we should have caught that before we accepted the car but you can only check so much and you do not think that you are going to get sold a car with safety issues. We took the car to Mercedes Benz for a full service and because the collision light came on the dashboard after we took it through the car wash.

    Mercedes couldn’t get the code to clear so they would need to remove the front bumper and see what is wrong. They also found an issue with a ”boot” in front leaking but said they would cover that with manufacturer warranty. They recommended all 4 tires needed to be changed, the front 2 due to above and the back 2 because they were barely legal. Thankfully Carvana’s warranty said they would allow Mercedes to do the collision light issue. We already had approval from Carvana’s warranty to replace the front 2 but that was scheduled for the next day at Pep Boys because that is who the warranty company uses. Pep Boys said they would submit to replace all 4. The warranty company would not cover the rear tires because it is considered normal wear and tear. Well not on a car I just purchased it isn’t!!!!

    So one week from getting the car, we paid to replace the 2 rear tires out of pocket, it has spent a half a day at the tire shop having the tires replaced, sent another half a day at the Mercedes dealership finding out about the leak and now we are taking it in next week to have the repair done and to diagnose why the collision light is on. The interior was dirty, spilled sticky stuff on the console, windows filthy, etc. Why don’t you detail the car before you send it out for delivery? But my wife loves the car so we are working through the issues and by the time we are done I hope we don’t have any more issues. Spending the time and extra $600 has made me very reluctant to ever buy from Carvana or recommend them to anyone else.

    This was not the experience I was anticipating at all. I was sold an inconvenience/lemon from the beginning and had to endure a long time before getting the car back from the repair shop. Rental and Ubers out of pocket, and unnecessary stress until they got it right. From my personal experience I will never buy a car from here and would never recommend it to anyone who’s looking to buy a car. You’re better of saving your bucks and going to the dealer. At least there you will have a peace of mind from the beginning. Definitely mixed feelings.

    I am extremely disappointed with my recent Carvana experience involving the 2024 Ford Bronco Black Diamond, VIN **. When the vehicle was delivered, it was noticeably dirty and had scratches and nicks that were not adequately disclosed or represented in the listing. More importantly, I discovered a puncture/damage in the rear seat that was not disclosed in the vehicle description or shown in the listing photos. I purchased this vehicle based on Carvana’s representation of its condition, and I expected the vehicle to arrive in the condition that was advertised. Finding previously undisclosed interior damage immediately after delivery is very concerning.

    I have photographs documenting the condition of the vehicle at delivery. I am requesting that these issues be formally documented on my account and that Carvana provide an appropriate resolution, including consideration of having the seat professionally repaired or providing an appropriate credit/adjustment. I would also like this complaint escalated to a supervisor or appropriate customer-resolution department. I am still within the 7-day return period, so I need this matter addressed promptly before I make a final decision about keeping the vehicle. I hope Carvana will take responsibility for the discrepancy between the condition represented in the listing and the condition in which the vehicle was actually delivered. I really believed Carvana was better company then this.

    While the process of searching and selecting a car was quite easy, when it came to working with a third party lender, Carvana was quite difficult to deal with. Customer service was difficult to reach, non communicative when I did reach them (often not following up when they said they would), and I felt like I had to jump through a ton of hoops that made the whole process more difficult than it needed to be. It was frustrating enough that I considered canceling my order.

    Outside of your staff being kind, I can not leave a positive review. I understand you fix cosmetic damage on vehicles, but the terrible respray can't be worth it unless everyone that buys a white Tesla is fine with over spray on black trim, wheels, wheel wells, door handles and window trim. The vehicle I had delivered first respray didn't match the factory finish and then I found all the over spray. When I tried to exchange the vehicle, I rejected that delivery while the car was still on the truck due to seeing white paint on all the trim pieces, door handles and window trim. Unacceptable to spend that kind of money for shotty paint work, your QA team needs an overhaul.

    My experience with Carvana started out great, until it turned out that I accidentally gave them my current vehicle's key for the second key that the car I sold second key. I contacted Carvana numerous times to try to switch the key I had for the car I sold and get my car's second key back. They were all nice and everything but I was never contacted by anybody. They had to have known the key didn't work for that car, so they either recoded my key to work on that car or coded a blank key and threw my key away. Why wouldn't they just contact me about the key not working and we could have switched them. Now I have no idea where my key is. Someone there could have it as well as knowing my address so my car could be stolen at any time. It's pretty bad.

    I bought a vehicle on August 28th. When I received the vehicle the trunk would not close and I had to take it to the shop to get fixed. I was guaranteed that it went through inspection, but that couldn't be because anyone could see that the trunk would not close. Then I got a tire warning a few days later. I reached out to Carvana, who assured me that since I was within 14 days I could take it to a shop in their network and it would be covered by SilverRock 100%. It turns out that I have 2 rear corroded tires and 2 corroded brake rotators.

    When the shop submitted the claim it was denied.. I contacted Carvana to see if they can escalate this because who wants to buy 2 new tires and they JUST PURCHASED a car. This is the second time I purchased a car through Carvana, but if this does not get resolved to some satisfaction I will NEVER use carvana's services again and I will tell my friends not to as well. This entire experience has been absolutely ridiculous and very frustrating!

    I’m giving Carvana 2 stars instead of 1 because there WERE some positives in my experience. I received a really good offer for my trade-in, I ultimately got my money back, and I spoke with several genuinely nice Carvana employees who tried to help me throughout this mess. I appreciate those people, and they are the reason this review is getting a second star. Unfortunately, everything else about this experience was bad enough that I could never recommend purchasing a vehicle through Carvana.

    I purchased a 2022 Jeep Compass Trailhawk. Before delivery, the vehicle was delayed, and a Carvana representative told me they were simply “behind on inspections.” That immediately raised a red flag for me. Why was a vehicle listed online, available for purchase, and my money taken if it hadn't even completed inspection? I later found out the Jeep had actually FAILED inspection.

    And Carvana did not readily give me that information. I had to repeatedly ask and basically BEG to find out why it failed. Eventually, I was told the reason involved a “history management code.” I also repeatedly asked for documentation about what had been found, what work had been performed, and updated inspection information. Getting clear answers was incredibly difficult. Unfortunately, my concerns about the vehicle ended up being justified. After taking delivery, the Jeep SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT — WITH MY NEWBORN BABY IN THE CAR.

    That was it for me. Having a vehicle unexpectedly shut off while driving is scary enough. Having it happen with my newborn daughter in the car after I had already questioned Carvana about the vehicle's failed inspection made the situation completely unacceptable. I had trusted that I was purchasing a properly inspected, safe vehicle.

    There was absolutely no chance I was going to continue driving that Jeep with my baby in it, so I returned it within Carvana’s return period. You would think that would be the end of the story. It wasn't. After initiating the return, the Jeep sat in my driveway for TWO WEEKS waiting for Carvana to retrieve it. During those two weeks, I emailed Carvana multiple times asking when they were going to come get their vehicle. My emails were ignored. I received no meaningful response while a vehicle I had already returned was still sitting on my property. They FINALLY picked up the Jeep after two weeks, and I cannot explain how relieved I am to finally be completely done with this experience.

    I do want to be fair: I got my money back. I received a very good deal on my trade. And there were individual Carvana employees who were extremely nice and genuinely tried to help me. I don't want their efforts to go unrecognized because the overall process was terrible. That is why I'm giving Carvana 2 stars instead of 1.

    But a good trade-in offer and a refund don't outweigh what happened. I was given misleading information about an inspection delay, later discovered the vehicle had actually FAILED inspection, had to fight to even learn why, struggled to get documentation about the vehicle, and then the Jeep SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING WITH MY NEWBORN BABY INSIDE. After returning it, it sat in my driveway for another two weeks while multiple emails went unanswered.

    Buying a vehicle should not require this much detective work just to figure out what you're actually buying. I'm thankful I got my money back and that my baby and I were okay. But after everything that happened, I personally would never purchase another vehicle through Carvana. Two stars — and the second one is entirely for the good trade-in offer, getting my money back, and the genuinely kind employees who tried to help me through an experience that never should have happened in the first place.

    I purchased a 2018 Chevy Trax LT. The facts are as follows. I called and set up an appointment with the auto shop I have gone to for 20 years, the day I received the car. The earliest they could get me in was 9 days after I signed the paperwork. The service battery charging system light came on the first time we drove it. At the shop, it was discovered that the serpentine belt was frayed and about to snap because the tensioner was damaged. The car is not safe to drive anywhere. I called Carvana and customer service did nothing more than quote policy.

    The fact that the car was not safe to drive in the shape I received it, and Carvana was not willing to waive or even reduce the out of network deductible given these facts is disappointing. I should have trusted my instincts and returned it before I had the first viable chance to get it looked at. As visible as the serpentine belt is, it’s difficult to believe Carvana even looked at the vehicle let alone inspected it as claimed.

    This Carvana experience was my first one using Carvana. It was a positive experience and went quite smoothly. I found the vehicle prices competitive with current market values and appreciated that there were no hidden fees or gruelling hours spent at a dealership being browbeaten into adding thousands in extra things you don't want or need. Plus, Carvana shipped my vehicle from the sale State to my State and delivered it to my door, picking up my trade-in at the same time.

    The trade in value they gave me was quite low but consistent with what dealerships offer. I don't think I'd sell a vehicle to Carvana. The vehicle I purchased was in as good or better condition than described and I have zero complaints on that. I'm skeptical on the title/registration service. It's not that I feel I got charged more using Carvana, it's just it didn't buy me anything. I still have to go to my local DMV and wait in lines to complete it. I would have gotten everything done in the same day had I done it myself. So, I don't see much benefit. Everything functions as it should, it came with a full tank of gas and all routine services were recently done, so I have months of worry free use. So, I would use Carvana again in the future. The experience was positive for me.

    I strongly recommend that people think twice before purchasing a vehicle from Carvana. My experience has been an absolute nightmare, and the way this company has handled my situation has been completely unacceptable. I provided Carvana with multiple documents and extensive verification throughout their underwriting process.

    At one point, they claimed that some of the documents I provided may have been false because they could not verify the amount of my direct deposits. What they failed to understand—or failed to properly investigate—is that my direct deposits were being distributed into two separate bank accounts. They verified only one account and apparently assumed the deposits they saw represented the entire amount. They never asked me about the second account before making their accusations.

    I also had a vehicle placed on hold and paid an additional $100 hold fee for what was advertised as a Z71 Chevrolet Silverado. Afterward, I discovered that the vehicle I was paying the additional $100 to hold was not actually equipped with the Z71 motor/configuration represented in the listing. I cancelled that vehicle, and I still have not received that $100 back.

    My original down payment was $3,190. I cancelled the first vehicle and selected another vehicle with a lower down payment. I was told I would receive a $1,000 refund within 5–10 business days. Those 10 business days have now passed, and I STILL have not received the $1,000 I am owed. Then things got even worse. I selected another vehicle and proceeded through the entire underwriting process. I obtained insurance for the vehicle beginning 08/26/26 because Carvana required active insurance as part of the purchasing process. I provided everything they requested, including additional pay stubs and Plaid verification of my bank deposits. The Plaid verification confirmed that my deposits matched.

    I signed the contracts. I provided the required documentation. I paid $2,000 toward the vehicle. Delivery was scheduled for 09/08/26. Then, at 11:59 PM on 09/07/26—LESS THAN 24 HOURS BEFORE MY SCHEDULED DELIVERY—Carvana emailed me and cancelled my order, claiming that the documents I provided “may be false.” Let me be VERY clear: THE DOCUMENTS WERE NOT FALSE.

    My income was legitimate. My deposits were legitimate. My accounts were legitimate. I had already gone through their verification process and provided everything they requested. The issue was that my money was being deposited into multiple accounts, something they apparently failed to properly account for during underwriting.

    Meanwhile, I had already sold my previous vehicle, which was completely paid off, because I relied on Carvana's approval and the scheduled delivery of my replacement vehicle. I have also been paying insurance on a vehicle that I never even received because Carvana required me to have insurance in place to continue with the purchase.

    Now, after putting me through all of this, Carvana has apparently blocked my ability to speak with customer service and blocked my calls through their phone system. I have been prevented from getting a reasonable explanation or resolution through normal customer service channels. The only option I have been given is essentially to communicate through a dispute email. At this point, I have contacted an attorney and am pursuing my legal options. Carvana currently owes me money that has STILL not been returned, including:

    $1,000 refund that was promised within 5–10 business days
    $2,190 difference from my original $3,190 down payment
    $100 hold fee for the misleading/mismatched Z71 vehicle listing
    Additional costs associated with maintaining insurance on a vehicle I never received

    Potential losses and expenses resulting from being left without a vehicle to get to work after I sold my previous paid-off vehicle based on Carvana's representations and approval

    I jumped through every hoop and every piece of red tape they put in front of me. I provided the documentation. I completed the verification. I signed the contracts. I obtained insurance. I paid the money. I made arrangements based on their approval and scheduled delivery. And then, the night before delivery, they cancelled the entire transaction and left me without a vehicle. This is not how a company should treat a customer who has done everything they were asked to do.

    I intend to pursue complaints regarding what I believe are false, misleading, and unfair business practices, as well as seeking recovery for the financial losses I have incurred as a result of this situation. And yes, I will be sharing my experience and documenting this entire process through every appropriate review and consumer complaint platform available to me.

    Carvana had multiple opportunities to properly review my documentation and resolve these issues. Instead, they accused me of providing potentially false documents, cancelled my vehicle at the last possible moment, kept money that I am still waiting to receive back, and then restricted my ability to even speak with customer service. I am beyond angry, frustrated, and disappointed. This entire experience has been unacceptable, and I will not simply walk away from it.

Second, picked up the vehicle, drove it 37 miles (halfway home) and it broke down (this is after their thorough inspection). Called Carvana to go and get the vehicle, we no longer wanted it. We were told we would be responsible for any towing fees over $200.00. They had a towing company come and pick up the vehicle and after a couple of conversations we were told we would not be responsible for any towing fees. How nice. Here it comes... we were then told it would be 10 to 15 days before they could process the refund. I will always recommend anyone looking to purchase a vehicle to anywhere but Carvana. On one of the replies from customer service they stated "we are sorry you got all the way home with your new car and then had problems...". They have no clue, all canned responses.

    The process to get the car was easy but once I pushed the purchase button my car was delayed 2 weeks, when it got here the one dent that they highlighted was not the only issue. I took 12 cosmetic damage pictures of the paint. The car was dusty and dirty on the inside. It was definitely not detailed. Then when I cleaned the windshield there are 3 chips in the glass and one is significant. I called Carvana while the delivery driver was here because he said he has never had a car delivered so dirty and with so much cosmetic damage that was not mentioned during the purchase. So I finally got a person on the line and they said I could submit only 3 issues for their insurance coverage. I told them I have 12. What I did submit was approved for coverage which is a plus but when I submitted the windshield I was told I need to fix it myself as it’s not significant enough.

    Why would you deliver a car with windshield issues? And then expect me to fix it!! So then my husband found it unacceptable and spent the day calling Carvana and finally got to the right place. They offered $650 to fix the windshield. It’s been a week. I love the car and hope the cosmetic repairs go smoothly with their insurance coverage. Because if it doesn’t get taken care of my rating will change to it being a terrible experience after the online portion.

    I couldn't believe how simple it was to get out of my lease and into the vehicle I needed and Carvana made that happen! All was well until I opened the door to my new car and was hit in the face with the musty, stale odor that could only come from someone who heavily smoked in the vehicle. I mentioned it to the gentleman who I was working with and he assured me it wasn’t from smoke, but the “bomb” the use to remove odors. I questioned that assessment, but he assured me it would go away. It didn’t and it’s bad. I complained again directly to Carvana corporate and thought they were sympathetic, they offered my $100 to get it detailed, which is costing me over $400 with no guarantees the smell will be removed.

    I purchased a 2015 Jeep Wrangler and paid $280 for delivery, which was scheduled for Sunday from 11 a.m.–2 p.m. At 11:08 p.m. the night before — less than 12 hours before my appointment — Carvana notified me that the delivery was canceled because their transportation driver called out. Instead of finding another solution, my delivery was pushed all the way to Wednesday, leaving me waiting another three days.

    What makes this especially frustrating is everything Carvana required from me to make this transaction happen. I already had a Jeep Grand Cherokee purchased through Carvana that was still within its 7-day Money Back Guarantee. Because Carvana would not allow two transactions to be open at the same time, they required me to sign paperwork voluntarily ending my Grand Cherokee’s 7-day guarantee early before they would move forward with the Wrangler.

    On top of that, I was required to make my $540 first payment on the Grand Cherokee early, even though it wasn’t due until September 30, because that was also necessary for them to proceed with the new transaction. I did everything Carvana asked of me — gave up the remainder of my return period, made a $540 payment weeks early, paid $280 for delivery, and arranged my schedule around the appointment. Then, with less than 12 hours’ notice, Carvana failed to hold up their end of the transaction and simply rescheduled me three days later.

    Customer service was polite, but I was essentially told that all they could do was reach out to their logistics partner. For a company built around making car buying convenient, this has been anything but convenient. I understand that employees call out and unexpected things happen. What I don’t understand is why one driver calling out becomes the customer’s problem to absorb entirely, particularly after everything Carvana required me to do to ensure the transaction could proceed.

    I was genuinely excited about purchasing this Wrangler. Unfortunately, the way Carvana has handled the delivery has turned what should have been an exciting experience into an incredibly frustrating one. All the liability is on the customer, and if they don’t deliver on their promises it’s simply a sorry with nothing to make it right. I’d think twice about signing anything with them without asking for questions.

    Ordered my car, jumped through all the hoops to provide documents, set a date to have it delivered. Had to have it delivered 2 hours away because they didn't cover my area but that's fine. Communication from them was not great, I would deliver documents and then find out something was wrong with them or additional things were required while on an unrelated call with a representative trying to get something else sorted out.

    The day of the delivery I had no messages from them and no indication anything was wrong on my "dashboard", no emails, no calls. I call them that morning just to be sure my car was actually going to show up (thank god I did) and then suddenly spring on me that they can't deliver the car on the agreed date because of some esoteric nonsense about needing to ask my bank questions which they could have done in the previous 3 days but are suddenly now choosing to do on the day my bank is closed. Again, this is all with absolutely no warning from Carvana that my car isn't going to be delivered on the agreed upon date. Almost drove 2 hours for nothing, all the plans I made with mechanics etc are thrown off, terrible communication from them and all I get from their representative is "Oopsie".

    2014 Black Toyota 4runner **. Ordering the vehicle was fine. Delivery was even perfect. The issue is the vehicle had severe corrosion underneath. Never was disclosed and really should've never sold vehicle like this. Came from NC and I immediately had it inspected in VA. So glad I did or would've been stuck with the vehicle. The inspector was surprised Carvana allowed such and even advised if any issue he would get his VA State police officer involved. The whole frame should be completely removed and new installed.

    Sad thing is they literally offered the vehicle back for sale at about 2k less. Currently is pending and I hope the person who purchases checks underneath well and Durant go through with purchased. For them to do a 150pt inspection and still offer such for sale is ridiculous and unethical. I have several pictures to prove corrosion as well. They did take back due to the 7 day return policy as I called within couple hours of delivery. That process was also a hassle in the amount of time I was in phone and time missed from work.

    Can it be less than 1 star? My first experience with Carvana was selling my 2007 BMW convertible in mint condition. I sold it in July 2026. The process was easy – now I think disturbingly so. They plugged the car into a computer, but never drove it, and just asked “does the top work” without ever testing it. I then purchased a 2022 BMW 840i convertible from Carvana for $64,400 including taxes and non-refundable shipping.. It has a beautiful and unique grey/blue color and 16,700 miles. These are very hard to find with such low mileage. It was a seemingly very good price for a beautiful car. I picked it up on Monday August 3rd, 2026. It was then at the BMW dealership undergoing repairs for a month, and it was finally delivered to me by BMW on September 4, 2026.

    Here is the story: When I picked the car up and began to drive it, I immediately noticed the car was vibrating through the steering wheel, particularly on the highway. I drove it right from the Carvana location to my local BMW dealer, where I had scheduled a service inspection to make sure the vehicle was in proper condition. When I drove into the service bay, the lasers picked up various scratches and dents in the lower part of the vehicle. When they lifted the car for inspection, they found four key defects in 5 minutes:

    • ALL four wheels were bent – hence the vibration
    • One tire was replaced with the wrong tire (at 9,000 miles, so too early for normal wear)
    • Another tire had inner wear and tread separation (from the bent wheels)

    • The underbody shield was damaged and a large portion missing

    The car had obviously been in an accident, where it ran off the road, damaged the underbody, bent all four wheels and punctured the one that was replaced. Obviously, Carvana never paid any attention when they presumably drove the vehicle, never inspected it effectively and never took any measures to repair it. So, their multipoint inspection is a joke. The total bill was $8,365!!

    Then, the fun starts with THEIR insurance carrier SilverRock. You have to deal with them yourselves, its not Carvana’s problem. BMW and I had to wait for SilverRock to show up four days later and decide what to cover. They decided to cover a portion of the wheels (not the cost of BMW wheels, which is what I bought), but said missing panels in the underbody were “cosmetic”. They wouldn’t cover the two new tires required. They covered $4,400.

    I had been on several calls with Carvana. Customer service is very nice, but essentially useless. They just apologize very nicely. They say you can return the vehicle, but that means I lose $1,500 in the non-refundable delivery fee, plus the $550 it cost to have BMW perform an inspection. Then they say they will talk to “leadership” and leadership will call me back. They never did. I called repeatedly and asked to speak to “leadership”. It’s like the man behind the curtain.

    Leadership doesn’t speak directly to customers, they just relay messages back, and then customer service representative tells you how sorry they are. I asked that Carvana cover the cost of the underbody damage that they didn’t disclose (knowing full well the car had been in an accident, which was obvious) amounting to $1,200. Leadership told the customer service representative to tell me to me to pound sand. So, I can return the car and lose $2,050, or I can keep the car and pay. $4,000. Fortunately, BMW made some adjustments and discounts and narrowed the “return-keep” gap to roughly $1,000. It helped that I had bought 6 vehicles from this BMW dealer, otherwise I would not have received this generosity. So, I decided to keep the car on the last day of the return period. More fun followed.

    When I picked up the car, an error message showed that the convertible top would not close securely. The technicians looked at the car, drove it, and determined a sensor was faulty. I’m now past the return period. But I have the 90 day warranty, and more fun with SilverRock. It took another week to fix the convertible top. SilverRock covered most of it, but I had to pay BMW the $350 deductible, which they dropped to $250 for pain and suffering.

    Given the track record of the car, and the lack of trust in anything that Carvana did to inspect the car or correct any obvious damage, I will probably have to purchase an extended warranty from BMW for my sanity. This will cost about $6,000. My good deal at $64,400, has ballooned to a purchase costing $74,650, an extra $10,250. I should have known after the cavalier way they bought my car.

    So, what do I think of buying a car from Carvana. NEVER EVER. Don’t ever buy a car of any value from these people. It’s a sham and they are horrible. They do not perform credible inspections; they don’t talk to their customers when issues arise (except to say sorry); “leadership” are cowards, and they hide behind a third-party insurance carrier when things go wrong. If they were a dealer, they would be subject to “lemon laws” but they can skirt those apparently. This is the ultimate “buyer beware” company to deal with. STAY AWAY.

    Very poor experience. I purchased a Kia Soul. Delivery was delayed a week due to a sensor issue. I was ok with that and glad it was being fixed. It arrived the following week without a hitch and drove fine the first time. However, the second time, it went into limp mode. Either another sensor went out or it was the same sensor. Since it was within the 7 day exchange period, I exchanged it for another Kia Soul. I’ve had this one for 2 months and the transmission already needs work. Unfortunately, I was unable to drive the car within the 7 day period. Because Silver Rock is calling it a maintenance issue, I am out of pocket for $500. I will never purchase from Carvana again.

    So the process until I changed my mind was good, found the car, got a good offer for my car on a trade in. I thought it was weird that I could not see the car before I committed so I then changed my mind. The purchase was on Saturday and I cancelled within 24 hours on Sunday. Monday I see that the purchase price (new car - trade in) was taken from my account so obviously I want to know why.

    Apparently, even though I cancelled it was not really cancelled and the transaction was still in process which is why the funds came out on Monday. I don't agree with this logic, but ok. The kicker is that it can take up to 15 days to get my money back due to "banking" which is BS. The other issue is, outside of the emails and money coming out of my bank there is ZERO record of the transaction in my account page at Carvana which is really uncomfortable.

    Worst purchase I’ve ever made. They tell you that you only need a certain down payment just to get your attention and make you complete the purchase. Then, after you’ve already made the purchase and submitted your documents, they suddenly tell you that your credit has changed and ask for an additional down payment.

    They also advertise next-day delivery, but after you submit all your documents, they pushed my delivery date 14 days out. Completely unacceptable. They simply don’t stick to what they promise. If you’re in a rush or actually need a vehicle by a specific date, I would strongly recommend looking elsewhere. I ended up finding Flexcar to be a much easier option. You can get newer cars, the process is simple, and you have the flexibility to swap cars when you need to. Very disappointed with this experience.

There was no haggling, and running back and forth to a manager, no fighting with the extended warranty person. You know the final price, you pay it, you get your car delivered!

    I purchased a 2020 Kia Sorento for a little over $16,000. On 06/29/26 Carvana delivers the vehicle. Now since I am not a mechanic and neither is my fiancé, all I did was drive it around my complex to make sure I had a good feel for it while driving. I told Carvana I was good. Well as the days went on car seemed fine. However, on the 8th day of having it, which was after the 7 day love it or return it, we started having issues with the car starting. We would put the key in the ignition and crank it and nothing. It took more than 1 time to start the vehicle. I thought ok what is wrong, this should not be happening. I took the car to Advanced Auto in Mount Holly and they said the wrong battery was put into the car.

    I notified Carvana and was told to purchase the battery and I could possibly be reimbursed. I purchased the battery and was in fact reimbursed by Carvana. The battery was not the problem, the car still will not start on the first turn as it should. Also, my fiance said that when the car is in park, it shakes. My nephew noticed it one day stopped at a red light and he asked us why the car is shaking. I have young children and this is what I was sold, a piece of junk with problems. Also, there is something rubber hanging from the bottom of the car which almost prevented us from getting it inspected. My fiancée was able to rig it just long enough to get it to go through inspection.

    I expressed my dissatisfaction with Carvana and all they keep telling is to take it to a repair shop and go through the warranty company. They also told me that because I didn't notify them of the rubber piece dragging on the bottom that the repair for that would not be covered. So wait now I have to be a mechanic? Carvana needs to make good on this since they sold me this garbage and they will not. STAY AWAY FROM CARVANA!

    Worst buying experience ever with Carvana. Purchased May 1 and from week one the 2017 Fiat 500 had issues. Having to take it to a mechanic under Carvana & SilverRock contract. The whole process was dragged out so the warranty would be expired. AAMCO blames SilverRock, Silver Rock and Carvana point the fingers at AAMCO. Each company blames the other. Engine Light is still on & was told by Carvana that it's because I purchased a Fiat! I had a Fiat for 10 years & it was perfect. If it's just the Fiat, then why did Carvana sale it.

    Carvana pretty up the cars just enough to sale them online and then wash their hands of any issues or problems. From Customer Service to pointing blame, never will I ever do business with them again. They are getting there $360 a month payment while the car sits in the driveway overheating, no AC and a new battery plus the so-called work AAMCO did, they did not complete the job the first time they had the car, if so none of this would be happening. It's such a shame, companies can work like this!

    Do not buy from Carvana. A complete nightmare of a process! I ordered me a 2024 Audi Q5 with 31,000 miles and played $990 to ship it. When the vehicle came in, it had 42,500 miles on it as well as many defects. Naturally I decided to return it, however, when I called Carvana and told them about the issue they never gave me a remedy. A week later I never got a call from Carvana. The only time I’ve ever talked to them is whenever I called them and waited. 20 minutes on hold. They finally picked up the vehicle. The fact that I have never been called, reached out to, or emailed throughout is very frustrating. I was even willing to exchange the car for another one with the right mileage, but they would not work with me on the shipping fee for the new vehicle. Now I’m without a Vehicle!

I had it finally started at one time sometimes it doesn’t open and close my doors but the other problem I seem to be having is for some reason considering it only had 4000 miles and something on it when I got it it’s telling me it needs service.

    ⭐ 1 Star. My experience with Carvana has been extremely frustrating from the beginning. First, there was an issue with the payment. I sent the money by wire transfer, but there was a problem with the payment process. Carvana ended up refunding the money to me by check, which caused another delay in the delivery. After that, my delivery was pushed back another week. I then had to deal with another delay related to the temporary operating plate. Carvana told me the issue was related to the DMV/system and again pushed my delivery back another week. I was finally given August 29 as my delivery date.

    I was specifically told that they did not anticipate any other delays and that August 29 was the backup/final date. I even received a call from the delivery driver this morning, so I genuinely believed I was finally getting my vehicle. Then, later the SAME DAY, I received an email saying my delivery was being pushed back AGAIN — this time to September 4.

    At this point, this is beyond frustrating. I have been patient and understanding through every issue, but the constant delays, changing explanations, and lack of reliable communication have made this a terrible experience. If there is a problem, I understand that things happen. But customers deserve accurate information and realistic delivery dates. I should not have to keep rearranging my plans and waiting another week every time I’m told the vehicle is finally ready. I just want Carvana to deliver the vehicle I purchased and give me a clear, honest explanation of what is actually holding it up.

    This has to be the worst buying experience I have had, and I have purchased several vehicles. I chose self financing through my own bank. Carvana gave me until 2p the next day to get my bank to write a check and to provide proof of it (pictures and tracking number for mailing). I had to miss a day of work. Then I realize I dont have a paper copy of my title for my trade-in. This isn't a problem for any other dealer. You just sign a form when trading it it. Called Carvana and they said a paper copy is required. I rush to DMV to request a new copy, missing a half day of work. I had to push out my pick up date for the car by two weeks. I receive the title and sign all the online forms. I miss another day of work to make sure my trade-in is ready to go.

    As a side note, I did not get credit for any of the features on my car, such as high end speakers, car alarm, quarter flares, RS sports gauges, colorshift halo lights, etc. I was extremely underpaid for the trade-in. I ended up cleaning the car three times, so it looked nice at trade-in. The morning of my scheduled pick up, I get a text saying the pick up appointment has been postponed by two weeks. No explanation. I later receive a call explaining the car did not have stock headlights and they had to replace them. They had two extra weeks to figure this out already. I find a similar car online, but it had a shipping fee. Carvana would not waive the shipping fee. Also, all the cars on the site went down $400. I got nothing. No "sorry for the inconvenience" credit. Nothing. Carvana was unwilling to do anything.

    I finally go to pick up the new car. There are major issues on the car, that were not mentioned nor shown in pictures; melted trim next to the window, melted carpet on passenger side, curbed and chipped wheels, bubbling tint and a quarter sized dent on the roof, with paint chipping. The windshield looked like it had been replaced "do-it-yourself". The sealing around it was cracked. We'll see if it leaks. I pointed all this out to the salesman and he just shrugged. Literally just looked at me and said "it's a used car". Oh and the headliner is not attached at the windshield, like it was pulled out or replaced poorly. The inside was dirty. Whomever did the detail job, if there was one, needs to be re-trained. There was layers of grime on the steering wheel and turn signal that took me 5 minutes to get off.

    Five more minutes to scrub the radio control buttons that had the same grime and the door panels were dirty. I got half a tank of gas and the car wasn't even washed. Maybe it had been several days ago, since there were water stains running down the sides. I am completely disappointed at the lack of customer service of everyone involved. The only helpful person for this entire thing was the lady who actually took the time to call me and explain the delay due to the headlights. To top it off, I purchased the extended warranty and got NO paperwork for it. Who do I call? How do I make claims for anything? The salesman was not helpful when asked.

I had to make at least 30 calls back and forth and numerous emails back and forth to get my financing squared away. After that the process was pretty smooth but I can't lie and feel a bit disappointed/frustrated when it looked like things might get undone because they had a hard time agreeing on the way things were being processed.

    This has been the *WORST* experience buying a vehicle in the history of my buying any vehicle. First, we opted for pick up over an hour away because of the vending machine, we get there with our one year old son and the van isn't even IN the vending machine... You could have delivered it if you were going to do us like that. Then, driving around the parking lot, we heard popping coming from under the front wheels. We sat back inside for another TEN MINUTES and nobody came back out. We couldn't tell them because nobody ever came back out to the front. Then, within 24 hours the check engine light turns on. The Carvana mechanic kept the van for an extra week for a window motor but didn't check a single fluid in the vehicle!

    The coolant was BONE DRY! It could've blown up on my disabled wife and our one year old, so thanks for that! Then, we demand that it be looked at by another shop, to which Carvana obliged. Midas said it needed $2500 in parts and work and Carvana would only pay for $200, even though the mechanic ASSURED Carvana the work was necessary. So, we foot THAT bill on top of the already $24K. The check engine light is STILL on, we will have to replace the thermostat as well as something to do with the anti theft. Don't waste your time or money buying from this shade tree company.

    If I could give negative stars, I would. I just bought a car from Carvana, and what arrived was a rolling biohazard with a death wish. The interior was filthy and the windows? Both inside and out, they were so smudged and streaked that I could barely see through them at night. It was clear no one had even glanced at a cleaning rag before shoving this car onto the truck. But the real kicker? The tires were in bad shape, with next to zero tread depth. And it gets worse: the sidewalls were dry-rotted with visible cracking, which doesn't happen from a few hundred miles of driving—that happens from sitting idle for months or years in a lot. These tires were ancient, brittle, and dangerous before I ever turned the key. No chance they will pass the state inspection.

    When I called to complain, Carvana's response was a slap in the face: they mailed me a $100 check as a "goodwill gesture" and then had the audacity to blame me for the tires, claiming that since I drove the car over 400 miles, the wear was my fault. But they didn't stop there—they actually told me to submit an insurance claim through their third-party provider. So I did. And what did that insurance company say? Same exact garbage—they denied the claim because I had "driven too much," parroting Carvana's flimsy excuse and refusing to cover a dime.

    Excuse me? Dry rot doesn't appear in 400 miles—that takes years of sun and neglect, which clearly happened on your watch. And let's talk math: replacing all four tires is going to cost me $1,400 out of pocket—not exactly pocket change. Meanwhile, your $100 "sorry" check doesn't even cover 10% of that, let alone the deep-cleaning this filth-mobile desperately needs. And your insurance partner was just as useless—passing the buck back and forth while I'm left holding the bag.

    You knowingly shipped a safety hazard with rotting rubber and a dirty interior, then tried to gaslight me into thinking I caused it—and when I followed your own process, you sent me on a wild goose chase to an insurer who gave me the exact same runaround. Carvana, you sold me a problem and washed your hands of it. Do not buy from this company unless you enjoy being blamed for their pre-existing neglect, jumping through hoops for nothing, and shelling out thousands for their shortcuts. Completely unethical.

Drastically the monthly payments went up and also was told on top of the non refundable fee for delivery I was also charged $1100. Then decided to go with the trade in and was told we will be refunded immediately (That was a lie) it takes 7 days to find out later on also asked to apply the refund to my principle amount which i was told they could. (That was also a lie.) Then also make note if you do not sign up prior to picking up the vehcile for automatic payments you cannot sign up later for the lower payment. It does not state that in plain sight. The gimmick is to make sure to read the little thing that says "Learn more"....... Furthermore I will be contacting Consumer Affairs and the Better Business Bureau.

    As a recent, first-time, customer of Carvana (as of August, 2026), my experience was initially a good one. I found the vehicle I was interested in but I was very hesitant of having to pay a 'transfer fee' of $690 to bring it to the KCK location for pickup. After considering the upfront cost, I decided to pursue the vehicle and paid the up-front required transfer fee. They are very thorough when it comes to providing and uploading personal, financial and proof of insurance/funds documents, which is understandable. Carvana gave me a decent quote for purchasing my current vehicle as a trade-in; valuing it at $8200 for a 2019 Sonata Turbo Limited with 119k miles in good condition despite having an existing auto loan on it through my credit union. Carvana agreed to pay off my auto loan and wrap it all up in with the overall price of the "new" vehicle purchase agreement.

    When it came time to provide proof of funds to Carvana the scheduled day before trading in my current vehicle and picking up the new vehicle from their infamous 'vending machine' from my credit union (who offered a much lower interest rate than Carvana financing terms), I went to pick up the cashier's check to then present to Carvana electronically. I then realized that my credit union took the initiative and paid off my current auto loan, issuing the cost of the Carvana vehicle minus the $8200 trade-in value.

    Long story-short, I reached out to Carvana and explained the slight change of direction as far as the expected check amount. They told me that I'd have to "cancel the order and restart from the beginning to show that my trade-in vehicle was now paid off". They also told me I'd have to "allow my trade-in quote to expire and then begin the trade-in valuation again". (Obviously this would affect my scheduled pick-up date and most likely my trade-in value with added mileage.) On their advice, I canceled the order to start completely over. When I went to begrudgingly reorder the vehicle from Carvana's website, I received a new trade-in quote of $6600 from the week prior. Highly frustrated, I reached out to Carvana's customer service representative (self-referred to as "advocates") to figure out what was going on. Their 'advocate' confirmed that the trade-in valuation was based on daily market values and demand.

    I was quite livid at this point as it had only been about 6 days from when I received the initial quote of $8200. After deliberating awhile longer, I opted to proceed to reorder the vehicle but then found that the same vehicle was now "being purchased by another customer". I reached back out to their advocate and asked about at least getting my $690 transfer fee back since I wasn't getting the car I paid to have transferred. The advocate simply replied that it is a "non-refundable fee" and essentially - "sorry about your luck!". I then asked to speak with an escalation manager about it to press further only to have the advocate state that managers don't have the means to refund back the transfer fees - and promptly disconnected the chat, leaving me high and dry (and extremely upset).

    I suppose that everything would have gone smoothly had my bank issued the original purchase agreement amount from Carvana, but I still cannot believe how quickly the entire purchase experience deteriorated with the company up $690 and their first-time (and last-time) customer left with a extremely bad taste in my mouth. Beware of paying them a transfer fee. Because IF your transaction should go south, as mine did, you will be completely left out in the dark with zero sympathy from Carvana. Definitely "NOT the way car buying should be..."

    I wish I could say my experience with Carvana was a good one, but unfortunately it has been nothing short of a hassle. My truck was delivered on August 10 with more damage than what was disclosed prior to the purchase. To make matters worse, additional damage was caused during delivery by the tow truck driver. Since then, getting the damage addressed and repaired has been an ongoing headache. In the 15 days since taking delivery, I have only actually had the truck in my possession for about three days because it has spent the rest of the time in the shop dealing with repairs related to these issues.

    Buying a vehicle is supposed to be an exciting experience, especially when the process is advertised as being simple and convenient. Instead, I’ve spent the majority of my first two weeks of ownership dealing with repair shops, damage claims, and problems that should never have been mine to deal with in the first place.

    Based on my experience, I would have a very difficult time recommending Carvana. The convenience of purchasing a vehicle online doesn’t mean much when the vehicle arrives with undisclosed damage, is further damaged during delivery, and then spends nearly all of your first two weeks of ownership sitting in a repair shop.

    This was my first time buying a car through Carvana, and it was a great experience. I LOVE my newly purchased 2020 Subaru Forester Touring vehicle. I was a bit worried when I went to pick up the car because there were no pictures of defects beforehand (scratches, visible repairs, worn interior, etc), but that's because the car had NO visible defects at all! Two of my sons previously purchased nice vehicles through Carvana, at my suggestion, and they were happy with their purchases. So, after my beloved 2018 Subaru Forester was totaled in a horrible rear end collision (we were completely stopped, waiting to turn left, when a Dodge Ram Longhorn hit us from behind at 55mph), I turned to Carvana as well.

    Being a middle-aged widow, I didn't want the hassle and pressure of dealing with a used car salesperson. I hated being forced to go through the process of finding another car, but I knew exactly what I wanted (the exact same interior and exterior colors of my former 2018 Subaru), and Carvana gave me plenty of choices. I've only had my new car for one week, and we are still getting to know one another, but I think it's going to be a long and happy relationship!

    The only negative thing I can say, AT ALL, is that the Carvana vending machine was down the day I went to pick up my new car. However, I loved the whole process of paying for the car, choosing my warranty options, and signing all the required documents ahead of time, and only having to sign one piece of paper (title application and odometer statement) when the keys were handed over at the Carvana dealership. No pressure, no hassles, and no hidden costs or tricks. Buying a car should always be this easy and pleasurable, especially after the unexpected trauma of a serious accident.

    Purchased a 2018 Nissan Rogue, discovered transmission problem (other problems too). Took it to THEIR REQUIRED REPAIR BUSINESS. They had my car 39 DAYS. You only get reimbursed for $600 for a rental car, the rest of the time they could care less how much it costs you. They installed a refurbished transmission, and I PAID FOR ALL NEW BRAKES. Get car back, drive it 2 days, can't start vehicle. Needs battery and/or new fobs. Finally get it to a Nissan dealer and they discover THEY DIDN'T PUT BOLTS ON FRONT BRAKE AND LEFT A PART OFF THE BACK BRAKE AND TRANSMISSION IS LEAKING. Call Carvana, all you get is scripted 'we're sorry', blah blah blah. No solutions at all. Only 2 days left on 100 day warranty and it's 'so sad too bad, ** you'.

    This company DOES NOT CARE. THEY KICK YOU OUT THE DOOR AND ANY PROBLEM IS through Silver Rock, a company that moves as slowly as possible to eat up your 100 days of warranty. Mark ups on these cars is insane, their 150 point check is a joke. You MUST go to a dealer during the 7 day period and see what is REALLY wrong with the car. Carvana is a scam. Zero in person ability to get problems solved, it's clear they don't want to talk to you. Very poor customer service. I've had the car 98 days, only drivable and in my possession 54. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY.

    I began purchasing a vehicle through Carvana on August 18 and was scheduled to complete the transaction on August 22. Between those dates, I spoke with several Carvana representatives to make sure I understood exactly what was required of my trade-in. I was consistently told that the vehicle needed to start and be able to drive onto the flatbed under its own power. At no point did anyone tell me that the delivery driver would take my vehicle on an actual road test. My vehicle was running when the driver arrived on August 22. She took it for the road test, sped off, and approximately a street away, the vehicle became inoperable and would not restart.

    The situation afterward was just as upsetting. The driver initially attempted to leave the vehicle in the roadway, and we had to make sure it was moved to the side of the road. When we expressed our concerns, her attitude was dismissive. I was then told that I was responsible for getting the vehicle towed back to my home—even though it became inoperable while Carvana's employee was driving it as part of a test-drive requirement Carvana had never disclosed to me. We spoke with the driver's manager, who escalated the situation to a higher-level manager. I was told someone would call me back regarding getting my vehicle towed. No one ever called.

    Thankfully, I had AAA roadside assistance and was able to have the vehicle towed without an out-of-pocket charge. However, if I had not had roadside assistance, I would have been responsible for the towing expense. More importantly, Carvana never followed through, and we ultimately had to arrange the tow ourselves.

    My issue with Carvana goes beyond the fact that the vehicle stopped running. My problem is the lack of communication before the appointment and the complete lack of accountability afterward. I followed the instructions I was given, yet I ended up without the vehicle I was purchasing, with my own vehicle disabled away from my home, and having to figure out how to get it home myself. Anyone considering trading in a vehicle to Carvana should ask specifically whether their vehicle will be taken on a road test, because that information was never disclosed to me despite multiple conversations with representatives.

So the truck has been at my dealership getting it fixed again for a week. I think they should've checked to see they fixed it before delivery.

    A friend of my sisters had bought a vehicle through Carvana and had a decent experience, so I decided to check it out. I was looking to get a truck because I needed a way to haul materials for work that needed done on my home. I had a 2021 Chevy Trailblazer that I was right side up on. It was a really nice looking vehicle and ZERO mechanical issues, only 17,044 miles on it and I bought it brand new in 2021. I decided to trade it in on a truck through Carvana. In the beginning it was pretty easy and convenient. I went through the process of getting the offer on my Trailblazer and proceeded with the trade in. Boy did I make a HUGE mistake! For one thing I seriously down graded. I chose the truck, it was valued at a price I thought was a little on the high end but I knew used trucks have high resale value and I was running out of options for a truck in my price range.

    I chose a 2013 Ford F150 XL Super Crew Cab with 122,000+ miles on it. It looked good in the pictures and had some features that sounded pretty good. I proceeded, I read over the paperwork, accepted the trade in offer on my Trailblazer and used the remaining funds left over from my trade as a down payment on the Ford F150. I signed the paperwork with Carvana, did the thing on-line in video meeting with notary and chose a delivery date August 16,2026. I couldn’t wait.

    The day arrived I was so excited. The driver arrived and started to unload my truck, OMG! It made an awful noise when when he started moving the truck and he got out and checked things over and got back in and started backing down the ramp again, the same noise occurred and about halfway down the ramp he realized the emergency brake was on and he released it and proceeded to unload. My neighbor who witnessed it all said thats not good and told me the driver forgot to release the emergency brake before he started to unload the truck. I should have taken that as a sign to just stop everything right then and there but, I second guess myself and that was my mistake.

    I took the truck for a test drive and it sounded good, shifted great no tics no knock in the engine, but I felt like a brake was sticking but I wasn’t sure. I proceeded anyway and I watched as the driver drove away with my great looking and 100% free of any mechanical issues 2021 Chevy Trailblazer. This is where my dream turned into my nightmare. My neighbor who is a mechanic came over to look over the truck and listen to it and go with me on a test run. There was a noise in the backend every time I went over a bump or dip in the road, the brake still felt like it was sticking and the dial on fan that controls the airflow for the a/c and heat did not work it was stuck on one speed, but other than that I thought it was good. (keyword: thought). So that night I started a claim to get the dial on the fan fixed.

    The next day (17th) I made an appointment to have a complete inspection done on the truck and get the fan dial fixed. I had not had the truck 24 hours. On the 18th (2 days after receiving truck) it was in the shop, remember Carvana did their 150 point inspection on this truck and they passed everything. The garage I took the truck to is a nationwide business and is in Silver stones (Warranty Company for Carvana) network. The inspection revealed (get ready) a collapsed left front brake line, low, practicality empty on coolant, the resistor part on the fan/blower for the a/c and heat, back rotors and pads (both sides) urgently needed replaced, a weld on a heat shield that covered the catalytic converter was broke and both leaf springs in the backend urgently needed replaced and the lug nuts were warped. WOW!

    Needless to say I was shocked and angry. The guy at the garage stated the vehicle was unsafe to drive and said he would deal with SilverRock and get them to approve all the repairs and pay for the diagnostic that revealed everything that needed repaired. I told him that if SilverRock refused to pay for one thing to not do anything to the truck and I would call Carvana to pick it up. I told him that Carvana had passed everything in their 150 point inspection and he said there was no way they did an inspection on that truck because if they did, the truck would not have passed inspection and would never have been put on the live site for sale until the proper repairs were made or the truck was junked.

    I considered doing an exchange while the garage was waiting on SilverRock to decide if they were going to pay for all the repairs, but Carvana not only would have taken my existing down payment but, would also require me to give them more money towards the down payment if I did an exchange, even if the exchange truck was the same price as the Ford F150 and that is BS so I considered a return and get my money that was left over from my trade in but, SilverRock agreed to pay for all the repairs parts and labor (even the diagnostics) and I now have a good truck with a good engine and new back rotors and brake pads, new coolant, new leaf springs, new front brake line and the weld fixed on the heat shield, not mention I can control the fan speed on my a/c and heater and new lug nuts, so kudos to SilverRock.

    I know that buying a used vehicle is buying someone else’s problems but, all of the issues that the truck I bought had? I’m just stating my own personal experience dealing with buying a vehicle from Carvana. I suggest that if you’re determined to buy a vehicle from Carvana to proceed with caution and read your contract completely (do not skip anything) before signing any paperwork.

When I spoke to customer service the first time they told me it was very unusual to have to reschedule and promised it wouldn’t happen again. But it did.

    The whole process seemed easy but when I got there to pick up my new car they said a contract wasn't signed. He said he couldn't help me so I had to call customers service. That took forever to get an actual human being. I finally got that resolved and got my car. When the car came out of the "vending machine" the associate tried to open the trunk twice and hit the building behind it. We noticed a few minor cosmetic things but all cars have those. About 1 hour into our 4 hour drive the rearview mirror fell off. So I went to adjust my driver side mirror to make up for the lack of other mirror use and the glass fell out!!

    We drove it home and took a deeper look into it and washed it. The trunk leaks and everything inside is now soaked. There is significant cosmetic damage and an HDMI cord was broken off into the rear entertainment. As well as the goldfish and French fries all over the floor I will say they didn't do a good job cleaning it at all. I took it in for an inspection and mechanically it is good. Just very disappointed in all the other things.

    My second time ordering a car online with Carvana. Satisfied with the 2019 X1, but due to miles on it (<60K mi), I traded it in with a 2026 X1. This time a bit more disappointing. I am on my 2nd (3rd really) trial of the 2026 BMW X1, they were both a little over 10k in miles. The first one did not even make it out of the truck bed. A huge, significant, I guess medium scratch under the passenger side of the car was noticed and not mentioned on the description (as if the car had gone up something high and scratched the bottom where it had loosened the screws underneath there), and I am nearly financing the car as if brand new. I was wondering why the truck was parked down the block when i had a huge space in front of the house.

    The second one, loved the color, got attached to it, ordered a missing luggage cover, took it to the car wash on the 7th day and it rained inside the car. It freaked me out. The rear view mirror leaked water into the dashboard. The moonroof was closed. This should not be happening on a nearly brand new car. Thankfully, the 2nd Carvana Rep took it into consideration that this was a major deal and offered to try another one. I am on my 7th day on the 2nd/3rd car. Again, the driver parked down the block. Again no mention of a medium scratch on the bumper hidden by the color black. If i went back on the photos (a bit unfocused and unclear- it was there) and enlarge it. So, study the photos. I say, do a handwash of the car on the first day so the dings and scratches will be noted. Otherwise I love BMW x1, very powerful.

    I was skeptical at first as a first time online car buyer. The process seemed too easy and too quick. Even the financing was too easy. I bought my used Tahoe that fit its description perfectly. It was delivered on time (slightly early). I took it by my mechanic to check if everything was on the up and up and the only thing he came back with was the vehicle needs new spark plugs but not urgently. I am impressed with Carvana and would recommend using them if you are like me and don't want all of hustle and waste of time at a dealership.
