    Working with Carvana was a great experience. Everything was handled smoothly and efficiently. I felt I got a very fair price for the car I traded in and the car I purchased was priced fairly. Carvana handled everything online, the delivery and pickup were timely and efficient and I'm thrilled with my new (used) car.

    BillingLoan Process

    Reviewed June 3, 2026

    I do really like the car but there were some problems in the whole experience. After paying nearly $2,000 for shipping, the vehicle was damaged during shipping. Carvana/SilverRock is addressing the damage but now I am out a car as they already took the trade in. Secondly, when I arrived at the Body shop, they informed me that the front end had been replaced and was not factory - this was not listed in the information on the vehicle. Thirdly, I had set a down payment on the vehicle, which mysteriously disappeared in the process and was not applied to the financing. In working with the lender there is nothing I can do at this point besides making a large principal payment that would have no impact to my monthly payments and would only shorten the length of the loan. Overall, the process was easy and convenient but had some major issues along the way.

    Maintenance

    Reviewed June 3, 2026

    The order and financing process was very simple. Pickup was also simple. When I picked up the car, I saw some very obvious and undisclosed damage. Carvana agreed to fix the damage. When I took it in for an estimate, there was additional damage that the body shop discovered. I also had a sensor fail within 2 weeks of purchase requiring a trip to the dealership for repair. Needless to say, I am really questioning the vehicle that I thought I loved.

    First of all, it's no wonder all of the reviews on Carvana's website are good. I am actually a customer, and I cannot even leave a review on their website! So be cautious, because I'm not sure how people are "invited" to review, but I am NOT a happy customer so perhaps that's why I didn't get the invite.

    Where to begin? To make a very long story short, purchasing a vehicle through Carvana has been a tremendous headache. They have made so many unfulfilled promises (such as delivery dates), the chat assistance is complete crap and stops responding to me, and JUST when you think you're finally done and the purchase is complete (I mean, they tell you "Congratulations! The car is yours!"), they come back with something else that they need.

    I am paying CASH with a trade-in for a car, and I have never in my life had such a difficult time! You would think they'd want the money... I'm sure I'll be leaving a LOT out of this review to try to keep it short and to the point. But here is how my experience essentially went:

    I chose a vehicle. Initially, I was going to finance it. I had the purchase (financing) and my trade-in all set up and ready to go. Clicked to confirm the purchase. Got a delivery date of 5/30. Perfect. Received an email from Carvana asking me to upload my title and other documents. I did. Received an email the next day and THE DAY BEFORE MY DELIVERY DATE telling me that my title is titled in the wrong state, and I need to upload a title from the correct state. Well. That's a mess! And not their fault at all. So I looked into this and discovered that I was now looking at probably 2 weeks before I'd have the correct title in my hands. I pushed out the delivery date to 6/12 and set up an appointment with the DMV and decided instead of financing to pay cash.

    THEN, in another email on May 29, Carvana tells me that my documents (title and all) have been approved. Awesome! I went ahead and canceled the DMV appointment and rescheduled my delivery for 6/2. I can't even tell you how many "Woohoo! Marissa, your order just got approved!" and "Your appointment is rescheduled" emails I have in my inbox from Carvana. After all was said and done, when I finally PAID for the vehicle yesterday (6/1) in cash, the soonest delivery date that was available was 6/5. OK. I took it.

    Keep in mind that Carvana requires you to provide proof of insurance PRIOR TO THEM DELIVERING YOUR CAR. What this means is that I have now added, removed, added, removed, added (and now need to again remove) the vehicle that I was purchasing on my policy. Currently, I am insuring a vehicle NOT in my possession (and which will never BE in my possession after today), and my own car is now not insured.

    OK. So delivery will be 6/5. Alright. So I updated EVERYTHING I could think of. Toll tag info. Reservations for a ferry (with the car) that I have coming up in July. EVERYTHING has been updated with this other car's VIN. The purchase was made, the money was transferred to Carvana. I ordered a few things for the new car. Some of them arrived today (Amazon is fast).

    I received an email from Carvana this morning advising that I needed to sign and have notarized a POA so that Carvana could "sign on my behalf" for registration etc., and did all of this through a Zoom call with an online notary per their instructions. (A notary working for them.) Good to go, right? You would think. But you'd be wrong.

    This time I get a phone call from Carvana after 2 pm my time. I missed the call but the voicemail message said that they would not be able to deliver my car until they got the proper title. SERIOUSLY?!? THIS AGAIN???? I thought this had been resolved! And he further tells me in the voice mail (left after 2 pm) that I have until 5 PM MY TIME to take care of this!!!

    I lost it. I started shaking with anger and frustration. IT WILL TAKE 2 WEEKS for me to HAVE A NEW TITLE in HAND. My title is GOOD, it's just that it's from the state I was living in when I purchased the vehicle, and I no longer live there. They need a title from THIS state. And I get that. That's fine. BUT DON'T TELL me EVERYTHING is APPROVED and GOOD TO GO, and then turn around and call me 3 HOURS before my DEADLINE to tell me everything is in fact NOT GOOD TO GO!!

    But it gets better. I called immediately. It was about 2:30 my time when I called. I wanted to find out what options I had. Should I pull the trade-in out? What if I just sold my car to them outright? Here's what I was told: I could sell them my car outright with the title I have, but they wouldn't be able to get me the money for at least a few days (even with ACH). So that wouldn't work if I wanted to keep going with this purchase.

    When the agent tried to see what the total would be without the trade-in, instead of giving me that information when he got back on the line, he got back on the line to tell me that by doing what he'd done, we lost my delivery date of 6/5, and the SOONEST we are looking at now is 6/8! We never even got into the details about how much more it would cost me without the trade-in. I was WAY TOO tired of dealing with them by this point. AND YET, IT STILL GETS BETTER.

    So I finally told them to cancel my order. Here's me thinking, it took my bank ONE DAY to get $24k transferred to Carvana's bank. Surely, Carvana can refund me back by the end of the week so I can use that money to go purchase a car elsewhere!

    HAHA. NOPE. It takes 10-15 - NOT from TODAY, but from the time "THEY RECEIVE THE CANCELLATION" (whatever that means) before they initiate the REFUND!!! So they are literally HOLDING ON to my money while I sit here without the car. I DESPISE this company. I HIGHLY recommend staying AWAY from them.

    We placed an order for our 2023 Defender 90 S and planned on trading in our 2011 Honda CR-V as part of the deal. We had all the paperwork signed, and delivery was expected on May 22, 2026. At the last minute, my wife decided she wanted to be generous and see if we could change the deal so we would no longer trade in the Honda. She felt in her heart that we should donate it instead. The representative we worked with was very helpful and changed the deal for us at the last minute. We were hoping to beat the clock and still receive delivery of the Defender 90 that same day. We even came up with an additional $4,000, which was roughly the trade-in value we were receiving for the Honda, plus a little more. Unfortunately, we did not beat the clock and instead took delivery the next day, Saturday, May 23rd.

    The part I struggle with, and the reason I called and spoke with representatives and managers, was what happened when I reviewed the “new” paperwork after revising the deal with more money down and no trade-in. The interest rate had gone up 3 points, and our payment was higher. As I mentioned, I contacted Carvana and spoke with a representative and the representative’s manager, only to be told that, sorry, it is what it is and it cannot be changed. We have purchased three or four other vehicles from Carvana in the past and truly feel it is a superior way to shop for and purchase cars. I would love to keep Carvana as my dealer of choice going forward, but the lack of flexibility here is disappointing. The fact that we chose to do a “better” thing and were penalized for it is quite disturbing and puts everything into question about the process.

    It felt sneaky because I was not warned about the change, and due to the attempt at expediency, I overlooked it. Yes, that is my fault for not fully reading over every detail again, but I thought I was getting the same deal. I am left feeling a bit taken advantage of. I suppose the saying is true in many cases: “No good deed goes unpunished.” Please do what you like with this, but after seeing the opportunity to share my experience I felt it was important that you received my feedback. Thank you very much, Jason **.

    We went to the Carvana lot instead of paying the extra for delivery. That part was easy, they gave us a decent amount of time to look over the vehicle and do a test drive. The advocate there was very nice and had no problem giving us time we needed. The problems we pointed out (tires were absolutely terrible on the vehicle) were not able to be dealt with at that time. We ended up doing the deal and drove home the next day (5/24/2026). The check engine light came on before we started back home (a 2 hour drive) and there was a popping noise coming from the front at low speed. We were able to secure an appointment to get the vehicle looked at locally thru SilverRock warranty that Carvana uses, this was 5/26/2026. It took longer than expected due to the shop's schedule but they actually covered the repair for the popping noise (just a loose sway bar) and even replaced the tires with the same brand YAY!

    Problem is, the repair shop was unable to fix the check engine light. I made an appointment for a dealer at SilverRock's suggestion (5/28/2026) where it still is as of 6/2/2026. I reached out to Carvana to extend my 7 day trial as I basically drove the vehicle home and to the repair shop. They could only give me 2 days thru the chat but was supposed to send a request for more time. THAT DID NOT HAPPEN. So now I'm stuck with this vehicle that has been sitting at repair shops for a week now.

    First time purchasing a car fully online and I can't believe how easy it was! We chose to pickup at the San Jose location and Carl helped us. He was so great and had excellent customer service. He helped us with a little hiccup that the car software had and made sure we were good to go. He definitely went above and beyond and it was much appreciated. I will for sure be recommending Carvana to friends and family, and use them for future purchases. Oh and the car looked way prettier in person than the photos! Huge plus!

    I am a disabled veteran 15 years of military service. I am currently a police officer 8 years of service. Carvana had my dream truck. I paid the shipping fee and the downpayment. Carvana shipped the truck. I waited 2 weeks. After two weeks I called Carvana to find out the vehicle was in Oklahoma. I volunteered to drive up and pick it up, however they assured me they would transport. Another week went by and the vehicle showed up. I drove 43 miles to location to pick up the vehicle. Upon arrival they said my trade in was being rejected. They said I could not pick the vehicle up on that day and would need to reapply. I contacted Carvana and they admitted the vehicle mileage had been entered into their system in error.

    They told me the vehicle was no longer at the location and could not be purchased. The following day I received an email saying the vehicle was on its way. I called carvana and they said the vehicle had mechanical issues. Carvana then told me it was fixed and I could continue the purchase. The advocate was unable to adjust the trade in mileage. They told me it would be 48 hours before they could change the mileage. Once they did I could pick up the vehicle. I called back 48 hours later and they said it still was showing the incorrect mileage. The next day they called and said the mileage had been fixed.

    I requested to have the advocate proceed with the purchase since I was already on the phone. The advocate then told me it would be an additional 8k to pick the vehicle up. Carvana advertises vehicles at false prices and then charges you downpayment and shipping and holds your money several weeks. After you are exhausted they raise the price and try to get you to chose another vehicle. As a veteran whom suffers from PTSD and a officer who willingly accepts community problems. It was extremely disheartening. Carvana is such a low agency. If you are someone looking to purchase do not purchase from Carvana unless you want them to choose the vehicle they want you to have. The vehicle you choose will just go back on their website for their next victim.

    Horrible experience! The 2 employees at the Denver location did not show me how to operate the Tesla. They walked off, and I was left to figure it out by myself. I was driving the vehicle back to Montana. When I arrived to my first supercharger I was unable to charge the vehicle as they did not register it in my name. When I called Carvana, they pushed the issue off and told me I needed to call Tesla customer service. I called and was informed it could take up to 3 days before I can get the vehicle registered to me and only then could I charge. Luckily, Tesla customer service provided me with a world-class experience and was able to get it done in less than 5 hours. The car also gave me a low coolant warning on the screen. Still trying to figure out service and warranty with Carvanas 3rd party warranty and finding a service provider. I will never ever buy from this company again, and I will make sure none of my friends and family do either!

    Wow, what a super easy experience. I was worried that the stated quality of the BMW was going to be worse when it actually showed up, but it was so much nicer I could not believe it! The car also is completely covered in PPI film, which was a nice surprise. Still smells new, even having 54k miles. Super easy experience with the vehicle drop off, and really liked having the 7-day test drive to make sure nothing went wrong after delivery. I try to never go to dealerships anymore, and normally go to CarMax or other "no haggle" locations, but they still try to pressure you into buying extended warranties and whatnot. Carvana, you don't even need to talk to anyone at all and can accept or reject whatever you want. Super enjoyable experience and recommend you try it for your next car!

    When I received the Honda CRV, there was A LOT of scratches and marks on the car that were NOT disclosed on your website or pictures. For example, there is a huge scratch on the front hood from what looks like a tow truck back end hitting it. A lot of scratches all along the entire side of the vehicle. Even a few deep scratches that someone tried to touch up with paint that was not the same color black of the vehicle. It's worth mentioning when someone submits all of their documents before the cutoff time due, they get their vehicle on the delivery date as promised. Paying almost 600 bucks to have it delivered and it was pushed back 2 days because the paperwork was verified was not ok. Then no compensation or anything for it.

    I initially took delivery of a 2021 Toyota Highlander, but unfortunately, it arrived with a noticeable, persistent odor. With a newborn son and a full house to transport, a clean and comfortable ride is completely non-negotiable for us. Carvana didn't miss a beat. They immediately arranged a hassle-free exchange for a pristine 2023 Highlander that ultimately ended up being a much better fit for our growing family's needs. Their team made what could have been a massive headache completely effortless. Their customer service is the absolute best in the business—responsive, understanding, and incredibly efficient. If you want a dealership alternative that truly stands behind its vehicles and prioritizes its buyers, look no further. I highly recommend them for a seamless car buying experience!

    Wow, be sure about a trade. Once it is on the truck you can’t get it back. Even if you don’t want to accept the car they delivered! The car delivered was dirty, liquid stains on the carpet, a dirty hair brush in the truck, multiple items smashed into the holes of the seats that had to be scrubbed out. No floor mats. I called and said the deal was off. I didn’t want the car. I could not get my car back, it just left and was still on the delivery truck! I asked to meet the truck at the Carvana location and give the car back as I just wanted my car back. They said they owned it now and they could exchange the new car for another car, or give me money back, but I could never have my car back that they just took 10 minutes ago. What a shady operation.

    First y'all show up with the vehicle I planned to buy with tires needing replacement, then you decide to throw a last min $700 shipping fee that wasn't there in the first place, which didn't allow me to continue with the purchase. Trust lost. Not to mention the unreal treatment I received from Elijah in chat. He was rude and short with me and then dipped out of the conversation leaving me hanging. So I cancelled. Now I am finding out that the 4k you took from my acct won't be returned for two weeks? ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? I do NOT recommend this company. They blatantly lied to me on the phone (which the Carvana tow driver confirmed because he was standing right next to me when this lady fed me lies). They are rude. They are dishonest.

I have 2 reasons, the 2 back tires were not the same size or type of tires that were on the front, this could have powertrain issues if left like that, we immediately bought 2 tires. Second reason is that the Jeep Gladiator did not have a good detail, we spent 3 hours the day we bought it getting all the mud and dirt off it and cleaning the inside too. There is no way the 150 point inspection was done, most items were covered in dirt and mud. I did like the ease of the purchase and it was the vehicle we were looking for with low miles and a good price.

    Everything has been great as far as the delivery process and use of the app and the ordering process. The only issue I have is the scratches and wear and tear on this vehicle are the reason I’m returning it. I really like the car, but there’s more damage than what was shown in the pictures. I took it to a body shop and it would be 4 to 5K to fix it along with having to fix the curved wheels which weren’t in any of the damage pictures. If Carvana could help me address this through a shop that you all have ties with or some kind of credit off the purchase price to cover some of the repairs I would keep the car. If not, I understand, but I would say no one would want to spend 100 K on a car and it have the amount of unseen scratches and scuffs, and wear and tear that this one does. On top of that paying $290 for shipping when all the damage wasn’t shown is kind of discouraging.

    I recently bought a car from Carvana, and what should have been an easy process turned into a stressful nightmare. 🚗 After a 2+ week delay, 20+ phone calls, conflicting information, and repeated promises that turned out to be false, I finally received my vehicle. My credit union overnighted a $35,000 check, yet I was repeatedly told I needed documents no one mentioned upfront or listed on my dashboard.

    I was promised weekend delivery multiple times, only to find out later the department handling my purchase wasn’t even working weekends. Meanwhile, I was already paying insurance on a car I didn’t have. When the car finally arrived, there were issues not disclosed online: paint residue on the hood, windshield chips, dirty wheels, and even registration paperwork with the wrong name. The car also arrived with only half a tank of gas. Shoutout to the delivery driver for being kind, but overall this experience was frustrating, time-consuming, and disappointing—especially as a busy mom working 12-hour shifts. I expected better communication and honesty. Just sharing my experience so others know what to expect.

    When the car was delivered to our home, the delivery person pointed out some paint overspray. They did report that so that we could get that taken care of. That was not reflected on the photos of the vehicle or noted on the site. There was also a coolant fluid leak. We scheduled the time with the body shop and the repair shop. When taking it to the body shop recommended by Carvana, they said there were signs that this vehicle had flood damage, and the car painting job was very poor. We found other electronic features that were not functioning correctly. We are returning it but we still have to pay the delivery fee. I won't be buying another Carvana vehicle.

    One of the best car-buying experiences I’ve had in the 30+ years of purchasing vehicles. My requirements were very specific, and Carvana’s website made it incredibly easy to filter through inventory and narrow down the exact make, model, and year I was looking for. Before making the final decision, I still visited a few local dealerships to see similar cars in person and get a feel for the interior and driving comfort.

    That experience only reinforced my decision to go with Carvana. The dealer quotes were significantly higher, and the actual car quality often didn’t match what was advertised. Once I confirmed the model was right for me, the rest of the Carvana process was seamless. Ordering the car was simple, pickup from their lot near my home was convenient, and the vehicle was fully inspected and ready for me to drive away. What stood out most was how stress-free the entire experience felt. No pressure, no endless negotiations, and no dealing with aggressive sales tactics. Just a smooth, transparent process from start to finish. I honestly don’t see myself going back to traditional dealerships again.

    I purchased a 2020 Volvo S60 Momentum on 5/9/26 from Carvana. At first, I was impressed with the professionalism of the service but 17 days later, I am not. First, I noticed the performance of the safety system while driving on the road was overreacting. I found the vehicle had 3 different makes and models of tires which was affecting the safety feature performance. I had to purchase a full set of new Michelin tires, which has taken care of the issue. This was not disclosed in the vehicle prospectus. It is also standard knowledge that today's vehicles need matching sets of tires, which otherwise can lead to drivetrain damage and more. Other issues: the moon roof does not close properly after opening, and a rust spot from rock damage was clearly visible above the windshield on the passenger side (this was noticed within the 7-day "guarantee" period and is being repaired at no cost).

    Yesterday (5/26), the car was brought to the body repair shop to repair rust damage, and my son noticed the driver's side mirror housing is cracked and internally damaged. Carvana will not fix this because it is out of the 7-day guarantee period. Clearly, all of these issues should have been disclosed before purchasing the vehicle. Further, Carvana likes to tout their 150 point inspection process before selling a vehicle. In my onion it is blatantly obvious these mechanical and cosmetic issues were overlooked and not disclosed. I give Caravan points for their ease and professionalism when purchasing a vehicle. Like any other used car sales business, it is buyer beware. Lesson is to make sure you go over any vehicle you buy from Carvana very closely within the 7-day guarantee period. Unfortunately, the photos I have won't upload.

    Buying a vehicle online was a great experience. No hassle. Took my time and found the perfect vehicle. Finding the best price suitable for me. The way the site is setup.. Weighing my options by fiddling with the prices round to fit my budget. Not to mention..The vehicle was like it was described. It's like a brand new vehicle, no dents, leather look it was never sat in..etc..was clean just like purchasing from a dealership. Signed the contracts online, my vehicle was delivered to me within two days, was able to pick the drop-off time that’s convenient.

    Did experience a few hiccups a few days after the purchase. 1. Needed a new tire sensor 2. A part under the hood went bad, two separate drop offs. With Carvana and their in network repair shop fix and covered the expenses of each issue. This happened during my 7 day trial. What I love is while having those issues Carvana contacting Carvana and SilverRock via text was awesome, response time was prompt. Buy a vehicle with Carvana was simple, easy and user friendly.

    The buying experience was great! The car was missing a key fob which I was aware of getting that taken care was an all day 600 dollar expense. Also the tires had hardly no tread and there was a big screw in the tire which the tire could not be repaired so after another 600 dollars I had a new set of tires. The car is very nice. I like it Lot

    Easy buying and selling experience. I think there can be a little more care done to each car though. Especially when buying a used electric car or newer car, they all have subscriptions or memberships in the previous owner's name, that should be an item you make sure to disconnect and allow easy application for anyone wanting to buy

    Overall, I would say we had a good experience. We just purchased our third vehicle from Carvana and so far are happy with it, however it is technically only the second vehicle that we actually took delivery of. The second vehicle, which had only 11,000 miles on it didn't have functioning A/C, so we never drove it off the lot. I don't know how something like this made it past their inspection, but the rejection was smooth and simple, and the money that I paid for the car was immediately credited to my account. Those funds were then used for the car we actually took delivery of and are happy with.

    I can't find the order number. Overall, kind of frustrated with the Carvana experience. First issue was the expected delivery date. I was on a very compressed timeline, being in the military between duty stations. Part of my shopping criteria was delivery date making sense. I selected this vehicle which said "pick it up on Monday" and delivery date would be before I started travel. I felt like it was a "bait and switch" when I completed the order process and then when I went to schedule pickup, the earliest date available was not Monday but 5 days later! So then I had to reschedule my whole travel plans to accommodate this new earliest pickup. It felt very scummy when I was a victim of your false advertising. If you cannot accurately advertise a vehicle delivery date, I think it would be better to not advertise it at all! Next Issue. I'm having multiple conversations about this issue with your team.

    While everyone I talked to was great and friendly, I felt like I talked to at least 5 different people who I had to explain my situation to over and over like groundhog day! So frustrating! It would of been nice to have one dedicated person assigned to my purchase process who I could continue to work with on the issues I was having. Next issue. The vehicle pickup date was delayed AGAIN due to a maintenance issue found. I understand that these things happen but again, don't advertise that a vehicle is available and available on a certain date if you haven't even done the point inspection yet! Next issue. I asked to have the maintenance records of the glo plug and wire harness fix before I received the vehicle sent to me. I have still not been sent the information.

    Next issue. After all of these issues, never was I offered any compromise and discount. Because of all the delays, I could not receive my vehicle on time to travel to my next duty station, nor could I even drive the vehicle during the 7 day trial because I had to report to work across the country. SO, I have to now have my Dad ship my vehicle across the country to my new duty station which is costing me $3100 and I have a rental car which will cost me $1900 while I wait for my truck to arrive. Overall, not having to deal with a dealership is a blessing. However, it didn't feel much better having to deal with all of this.

    I purchased my first electric car, a Tesla, through Carvana, without prior experience with electric vehicles. Before my appointment, Carvana confirmed the car vending machine process and assured me that an experienced employee would guide me, as I was nervous. Despite my expressed concerns—having read reviews that the vending machine often malfunctioned—I was assured it was working.

    When I arrived at 10:00 a.m., the vending machine was broken, wasting my time. The car was handed over to me, and I traded in my previous vehicle. When I asked how to start the car, the Carvana employee admitted he had no experience with it. After some trial, I noticed the battery had only about 40 miles of range, while my drive was 67 miles. The employee told me to charge it at a Tesla station, saying it was easy.

    I drove to the station but couldn’t get the car to charge. I called Carvana customer support, who told me I needed the Tesla app and a registration process. After downloading the app, it required a photo of the registration, but the photo I was given by the employee, was a random jumble of papers. A desk image, a picture of my license plate which sat beside someone else's, a fire safety certificate, and a photo of a cat, making the whole photo unusable. I called support again, and they told me to contact roadside assistance, which also couldn’t help. Another call to carvana support and I was told to call my insurance company??? After 5 HOURS of calls and being left in a parking lot in the heat, I was advised by yet another customer service employee to call a ride service. Carvana offered no further assistance. I was left stranded in a parking lot.

    The car itself is fine, but the entire process was a disaster. It caused hours of unhelpful phone conversations, stress and anxiety. I have contacted a lawyer, as I believe I deserve compensation beyond a simple "I'm sorry that happened to you" by your leadership team. Carvana should not have let me leave that lot without a full charge or proper guidance on registration.

    Carvana is misleading and unhelpful. The car came with substantial front end damage that wasn't noticeable the night they dropped it off. I haven't had a car for over a month and I still can't drive this one because there are no inspection stickers and I can't get them until after the plate comes. Someone should have noticed the wreck when it was being prepared for shipment. I should have the cost of the damage refunded to me so that I can have it repaired to the condition it was presented in on the website.

    I received the car Monday, May 18th at 7pm. Today at 7pm would be seven days but that's not even the point. I reached out Thursday, and Friday to resolve this and Carvana waited until Sunday PM to respond on a HOLIDAY weekend when it was almost certain I would not be home to go on the computer to submit the damage claim. So essentially you gave me about six hours to put the claim in. I am submitting my complaint to the BBB and will make sure my friends and family know about this experience. Very, very disappointed and now I know why people just buy from a dealership.

    The first first expedition we received was supposed to have a towing package installed. It did not so we had to go through a return process. Which was fine and great. Everyone was cooperative. It was fast easy and smooth. After we received the second vehicle, the side of the front 2 tires was completely bald. The mechanic and AI both told us that the tires were way too worn and they're not sure how it passed an inspection. So they need to be replaced. When we reported this to both Silver rock and Carvana, they completely denied the claim and fought us tooth and nail because they said the middle of the tire was still good. So it's okay to drive an unsafe tire because the middle still has tread. It makes a lot of sense. It's insane to me that you are willing and ready to put my family at risk and make me spend an extra six hundred dollars on a car that I just bought, because you didn't want to fix the issue that you sold me.

    I was literally told by multiple carvana reps and silver Rock reps who saw the pitchers that they're not sure how the tires got past inspection. But then, when speaking to the claims expert, he said, wires literally had to be showing for them to replace it. If wires are showing the tire is gone, not going. The fact that they were so bald that normal people were looking at the pictures and saying, yeah, that's not right yet. Your claims department kept denying. It is totally insane to me. You have no customer support and from what I've been reading online, you do this a lot.

    To make it even better, the supervisor in charge of our case who we tried to call five days in a row and were told by everyone multiple times that he would call us back completely ignored us. We had service reps, tell us they could see him in the office, and they would force him to call us only for him. Not to call us. I will never buy a car from you again. I will never use your service again. Because anything I do buy from you. I have to spend my own money to fix. Because you're selling me pieces of shit. And you don't care at all.

A huge shoutout to Alyssa **, our MVR representative, who truly made this experience unforgettable. I shared with her that I was purchasing the vehicle as a surprise for my husband, and she was genuinely excited to be part of such a special moment. She went above and beyond by giving us a Carvana congratulations sign, and on the back she wrote, “To my love, from your love.” That thoughtful gesture was completely unexpected and added such a personal touch that meant so much to us.

    When we were signing the documents, we noticed an error.

I decided to just keep it and try to get it fixed because it would cost so much if I returned it, and there was nothing in my price range coincidentally...

    Carvana seems to just buy vehicles that look good and don’t inspect them, hoping you will do the same thing I did. In the end, they always make money, so they don’t care. I’d never buy from them again. The support crew was excellent in helping try to sort it out, though. In the end, I like my truck, but there’s so much wrong with it and will take months before I can use it. The warranty is taking care of the cost, but nothing can replace the time I’ve lost and will continue to lose on this purchase because Carvana does not inspect the vehicles.

    Dear Carvana Customer Support, I am deeply disappointed with the condition of the vehicle when I collected it from the Beacon location. The interior was dusty and poorly cleaned, with mud on the floor mat and pedals, footprint marks on the back of the driver’s seat, and leaves inside the engine bay. In addition, there appeared to be hardened wax or tree sap residue throughout the exterior of the vehicle, including the roof, front windshield, and rear windshield. There were also numerous scratches on both the interior and exterior that were never highlighted in the vehicle photos or description. I further discovered multiple paint chip areas that had been poorly touched up with blobs of paint that were neither professionally blended nor smoothed out. These defects were not disclosed in the listing description.

    Additional concerns include:
    1. Scratches behind both the driver and front passenger seats.
    2. Interior surfaces that were not properly maintained or conditioned.
    3. Cabin air filter filled with leaves and debris, and apparently never replaced.
    4. Right front turn signal bulb not functioning.
    5. Missing front license plate bracket, which required me to purchase a replacement myself.

    6. A strong unpleasant odor inside the vehicle after removal of the air freshener placed by Carvana. I had to disinfect the interior myself and purchase additional air freshener gel products. Due to the smell, I avoided driving the vehicle for several days.

    To date, I have driven the vehicle less than 100 miles. I also noticed that the vehicle performance feels sluggish, and the engine noise is considerably louder than expected. Regarding the vehicle condition, Mr. Jerome ** at the Beacon location also observed that the interior cleaning was poorly performed. He personally had to use chemicals to clean residue from both the front and rear windshields. At the time, I did not yet realize that additional residue was also present on the roof and other exterior surfaces. I took an Uber to reach the Beacon location and genuinely expected Carvana to uphold its reputation for quality online vehicle sales. Unfortunately, my overall experience has been very disappointing.

    Since the vehicle is still within the 100-day warranty period, I would like to request approval for the following items under warranty coverage:
    1. Full interior and exterior detailing, including correction of paint chip touch-ups and scratch remediation.
    2. Walnut blasting service to clean the intake manifold and intake valves, as this GDI engine appears to have significant carbon buildup causing sluggish performance and power loss. Based on the Carfax report, this maintenance does not appear to have been previously performed.

    3 Reimbursement or coverage for installation of the front license plate bracket.

    Please advise whether the above items can be reviewed and approved under the warranty claim process. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your response. Best regards, Suresh

    My husband and I recently tried purchasing a truck through Carvana, and the entire experience was a disaster from start to finish. We entered all of our trade-in information and were offered $22,200 for our vehicle. We accepted the offer, found a truck we wanted, completed the financing process, got approved at their lowest interest rate, and finalized everything on our end. We even paid $990 to have the truck shipped. The truck was supposed to be delivered between 4 PM and 7 PM. At 4:17 PM, we got a call from Carvana telling us the truck was in terrible condition. The associate admitted it reeked of cigarette smoke, had dents and scratches everywhere, and had a windshield cracked all the way across. None of this damage or condition was disclosed or pictured online. The associate actually canceled the order himself because the listing was so inaccurate.

    We were told the $990 shipping fee would be credited back to our Carvana account so we could purchase another vehicle. We spent the evening finding another truck on their site, only to discover the refund was nowhere on the account and our trade-in offer had expired. The new trade-in value? $21,000. So because of THEIR mistake, we suddenly lost $1,200 in trade-in value. I contacted customer service expecting them to fix a problem that was entirely created by Carvana. Instead, I was told it would take 48 hours just to submit a ticket for the refund to appear on the account. When I asked for the money refunded directly instead because we didn’t want the buying process delayed even further, I was told it would take TWO WEEKS.

    Then I asked about honoring the original trade-in offer since none of this situation was our fault. The customer service rep ignored the question and ended the chat. When I reopened it, another rep blamed “system issues” for ending the chat. She then said nothing could be done about the trade in value. At this point, we’ll gladly take our business elsewhere to a company that actually cares about accuracy, accountability, and customer service. Carvana wasted our time, tied up our money, lowered our trade-in value, and expected us to just accept it.

    We absolutely love the vehicle itself, and the trade-in process was smooth and straightforward. Carvana provided what we felt was a fair trade-in value based on the condition of our previous vehicle. However, we are extremely disappointed in the safety and inspection standards Carvana claims to uphold. The vehicle we purchased arrived with a significant chip in the passenger-side windshield that was neither disclosed in the listing nor visible in the 360-degree vehicle images.

    When we contacted customer service within 5 minutes of leaving the lot, we were initially advised to file a claim through our personal insurance. After further discussion, we were informed that while the damage had been documented internally by Carvana, they did not believe they were required to disclose it to the consumer prior to sale.

    The only resolution offered was to return the vehicle and start the process over, which would leave us once again searching through inventory and hoping not to encounter similar undisclosed issues. Buyers should be aware that Carvana’s “limited warranty” is, in our experience, extremely limited, and important vehicle condition details may not always be transparently disclosed.

What was I supposed to do without a car? To go to the bank on foot for 1 hour? Also, Carvana blames the bank policies and wasting my time by referring me to some different guys who have not done anything but repeating the same rhetoric. They were a total nightmare!

    We bought a 2020 Honda Accord EX-L from Carvana and paid a premium price (thousands over Kelley Blue Book value) for the convenience of buying online, sight unseen, with the expectation that the “150-point inspection” meant the car would be in solid, road-ready condition. The car was delivered on Saturday, May 9, 2026. By Monday, we had it inspected by our own mechanic, and what they found was unacceptable:

    - A damaged front strut requiring replacement (and both must be replaced together)
    - All four tires were dry rotted, low on tread, and one had a nail
    - Vehicle needed an alignment
    - Brakes were at end of life
    - Engine air filter and cabin filter were extremely dirty and likely never inspected or replaced

    - Coolant, transmission fluid, and brake fluid were dark and overdue for service

    This represents nearly $3,000 in immediate repairs and maintenance on a car that was supposedly inspected, ready to go, and safe to drive. When we contacted Carvana, we were directed to the extended warranty company. They approved only one strut and an alignment. They denied coverage for the other strut, 4 tires, brakes, fluids, and filters as “wear and tear,” leaving us to pay $1,861.64 out of pocket at Tires Plus for everything except the brakes, which still need to be replaced. These are not issues that developed over time. This is the condition the car was delivered in. We also obtained another independent quote that confirmed the issues, reinforcing that these were legitimate, pre-existing problems.

    If Carvana’s inspection process allows a vehicle in this condition to pass, then the process is either inadequate or not being properly followed. We paid extra for convenience and peace of mind. Instead, we received an unsafe vehicle that required significant work immediately and limited support to resolve it. Very disappointed.

    ​I am writing to formally document my dissatisfaction with the purchase of our 2019 Nissan Pathfinder from the Grand Rapids Carvana location on 28th Street. The purchasing process was marred by significant delays, inaccurate information from your representatives, and unexpected out-of-pocket expenses totaling $367.00.

    ​1. Registration and Tag Transfer Issue. Prior to delivery, we completed the online checklist and explicitly requested to transfer our existing license plate, uploading the necessary registration documents. However, during the paperwork signing, the Carvana representative issued a temporary plate instead. We were assured that we could contact customer service after the 7-day trial period for a full refund of the tag fees. Unfortunately, due to Carvana's automated customer service system, we were unable to reach a representative or find an option for tag reimbursement, forcing us to absorb the cost of a new plate.

    ​2. Battery Replacement and SilverRock Warranty Issue. At the time of pickup, we were informed that the vehicle's battery was dead and required a jump-start. The representative noted the faulty battery in our file and stated that it would be replaced free of charge under the SilverRock warranty at an in-network repair shop. We scheduled an appointment within the first week. While the shop confirmed the battery was defective, SilverRock refused to waive the $100.00 deductible, claiming the timeline to waive it had passed—despite our appointment being made within the required window. Resolution Requested. The communication errors by Carvana staff and the lack of accessible customer support resulted in $367.00 in unfair charges. I request a full reimbursement of this amount to resolve this matter.

    Option 2: Polished Review (Best for Google, Yelp, or Trustpilot). ​Rating: ⭐ / 5. ​We had a highly disappointing experience purchasing our 2019 Nissan Pathfinder from the Carvana on 28th Street in Grand Rapids. The pre-order process was incredibly slow, taking over a month just for inspections and photos to be completed. ​Our main issues stemmed from misleading information provided by staff and a total lack of accessible customer service, costing us an extra $367.00 out of pocket: ​Tag Transfer Failure: We selected the plate transfer option online and uploaded our registration. At pickup, the rep gave us a temporary plate anyway, claiming we could easily get a refund for the fees after our 7-day trial. Because Carvana’s customer service relies entirely on automated bots, it was impossible to reach a human, and we were stuck paying for a new plate.

    ​Bait-and-Switch Warranty: The vehicle had a dead battery at pickup. The representative assured us it was noted in the system and would be replaced for free via an in-network shop under the SilverRock warranty. We took it in during the first week, but SilverRock charged us a $100 deductible, claiming the timeline to waive it had expired—contradicting what Carvana told us. ​The Pathfinder itself is a great vehicle, but Carvana's customer service is non-existent. Representatives will tell you whatever it takes to get you off the lot, but once you leave, you are on your own. I highly advise future buyers not to leave the location until every single issue is resolved in writing. We will not be buying from Carvana or dealing with SilverRock again.

    This was my first experience using Carvana. I really don't like the dealership experience due to dishonest salesmen, sales manager greed, and long process at the dealership. My experience with Carvana in Tempe was initially good. The online process was smooth and efficient. The delivery experience was great except that I failed to look to see if a spare tire was included and it turns out it was not. Instead I was given a slime kit which I would know how to use if I tried. The crack on the from windshield wiper, however, was my biggest disappointment. The photo showed a small and barely visible crack.

    When I noticed it most notably was on a trip to New Mexico when the sun was shining on it making it glare quite a bit. I am beyond my 7-day return and my trip to New Mexico was over the 400 plus mileage mark, so unable to return for another Jeep Compass. I feel that 7 days is not enough time to decide if the vehicle is the right fit or condition. I will now have to work with the Jeep dealership in the Chandler area and my insurance to see how this issue can be fixed.

    Buying from Carvana was one of the biggest mistakes of my life. At first, everything seemed great. No issues at all. Then we receive something in the mail about some recall, so no big deal, took it in to get taken care of. While in the shop, we were told there was no oil even though the reader said it had 80% life left. Ended up having to have that fixed under the extended warranty we purchased and having to pay the deductible. Then soon after we started noticing a strange sound and jerking. Took it back in and then was told it was the transmission. So again had that fixed under the extended warranty and another deductible. But still had issues after that and was told something was wrong with the rear end, again another deductible.

    And to this day, the reader still says there’s oil life but no oil will be on the dipstick and Chevrolet can’t seem to figure out why. And lastly, while our truck was there, they informed us that one of our tires was a completely different size than the rest so of course we had to get all new tires which came out of our pocket when we should have had much longer before having to be replaced. We’ve had our truck for just over one year now and for 9 of those months, it was in the shop. Carvana hasn’t covered a single thing nor would they take the truck back because when we found out the issues when we took it in for the recall, we were 5 days past their 100 day policy. We basically got screwed and I would never recommend Carvana to anyone

    From my experience during this purchase, was a little frustrating, only because they requesting information, with couple with half a day to complete requirements, after you complete requirements, in hour later or so they send more requirements that needs to be done, it is hard to do when we have to be at work and try to complete every requirement the ask for, different times a day, different days, and right before delivery, we have to fill out more paperwork, why not request all information one time, so as a customer I know what I need to get in complete all one time, it is very hard to keep going back to the app, for a person the works all day. It is very complicated to complete paperwork with not much time.

    I suggest to send all paperwork the you guys need to be done giving us two days to complete so the people can come home from work and they can complete all requirements and paperwork the same day, instead of doing paperwork twice a day different days, it will be more efficient to request all information 1 time and 2 days to complete paperwork, before delivery, anyways I love my car in the delivery. Person was very kind and caring, I have no issues with the delivery! The only issue I had was the way they request completion of paperwork so many times, I have to go back to the app, to complete in order paperwork or requirement.

    I find Carvana is a reputable used car dealer. This is my second vehicle purchase. Unfortunately the first car had to be returned due to faulty transmission. Carvana is a super simple buying experience and it’s always exciting to see the car being delivered to your house. The only improvement I would say for Carvana is their policy on the tires that come with the car. They keep old out of date tires on the cars they sell. The criteria is as long as it has the correct tread depth they are good with it. Every car they sell should come with new or near new tires. The other thing that I have noticed is specifically with buying a BMW i3. The Charging cable was rusted out and a cheap after market charger missing the 110 adapter.

    To me this is the most important element of an electric car. I called carvana and got a bit of a run around. I requested a new BMW charger but they sent a cheap aftermarket replacement. This didn't make me happy so I ended up buying another one from the dealership. The cars you buy from carvana should have a bit more scrutiny before they go out. My other complaint is the interest rates they charge are on the high end of the spectrum.

    Dangerous first truck had deep rust where the axles attach to the springs. I can’t believe they tried to drop it off. They backed it into a pole when loading it and expected me to take it in on my time to get it repaired. Swapped it for a second. Terrible service after the sale is made. I purchased a vehicle the was delivered with scratches that weren’t called out on the vehicle detail. The Advocate took pictures and submitted them before he left. Caravana’s policy is to wait for a response, which didn’t come, and put me outside of the 7 day window.

    I called, they had no record of the claim. They looked at the foggy pictures and saw that they didn’t disclose the scratches and said they’d put a claim in. They said it would be 24 hrs and didn’t call me back. I reached out again to hear it takes up to 48 hrs. Nothing back, so I called again. Third advocate sent me to their partner SilverRock, which said there was an approval on the wrong account. They had me call Maaco, who said they don’t do business with them any longer since they don’t get reimbursed. Sent me back to Carvana, who then said there was no claim and they can’t help since it’s outside the 7 days. I asked for a manager who ALSO saw the issue with their pictures and non disclosure of the scratches. I submitted more pictures and she said she’d call me back in 24 hrs.

    Two days later I got a call saying the scratches are within scope of their policy and they won’t be making any repairs. The vehicle is $47k and they can’t stand behind their mistake for a few scratches? I won’t be buying from them again and I just want others to know about my experience before they buy.

    Car came with 2 new scratches on the driver side door, and tailgate door, dry rotted tires probably because they are 5 years old and overfilled with air, as well as uneven. SilverRock denied replacing just one of the tires even though it states in the warranty they will. It was the 2 front tires that were super dry rotted. Not to mention when I tried to get the exact tires they had on they switched to the absolute cheapest tires and still rejected it (I ended up coming out of pocket and getting better ones). The back ones were deemed "okay" by the tire specialist (one being a 4 the other a 5). I was supposed to pay for one and then the other but they decided they would repair the cosmetic damage only, rear taillight went out after a week, one windshield wiper was broken (didn't really care so I replaced it) brake pads are starting to scratch the rotor after 1 week, and the remote start feature doesn't work). Transmission shifts pretty rough.

    And I thought they went through a multi point inspection who woulda thought. Did an oil change myself, oil was darker than my afro. Would not recommend unless you want a new looking car that they let sit and probably didn't maintain. They also don't do much of an inspection of cars when they purchase them off you after they low ball you so when you buy a car it's pretty much a gamble. Mine is rough around the edges but good thing I had plans for it and already had the money saved to do it and some parts to throw at it otherwise I'd be pissed. Bought a 2016 Ford F-150.

We took the car to the shop where Carvana's warranty is accepted near us and dropped it off on 5/3 (4 days after picking it up). It is now 5/12 and the car is still at that Firestone shop. Worn struts and a leaking oil filter housing were also found and are being repaired under warranty. None of these things should have passed Carvana's 150 point inspection. We never got to have 7 days to drive the car since it has been in the shop since day 4. Carvana did extend our 7 day period a couple of times, but it is now up. I am hopeful that this will be a great car for us once all of the repairs are complete and once we get it back. However, this process has not gone well and these issues should have been caught and repaired by Carvana before listing the car.

    Bought a 2018 Ford EcoSport SE through Carvana. I purchased the GAP coverage to protect my loan. I had hit a deer. My car was totaled. Turned everything in that was needed and they claimed it still wasn't enough info. I was in a bind so I purchased another vehicle through Carvana 2020 Ford Ecosport Se. All the info seemed amazing and that it was a great reliable car. Everything passed their inspection. When I got the car within a week it started to make noises by the tire.it was too late to return. Had it checked out and the mounting plate by the tire was bent during delivery and I was told I needed the brakes replaced as well as the front tires. How was that able to be sold to me like that?

    Then I get notified that it has a recall on the engine oil pump/belt. My car breaks down and I take it to the dealership to get fixed. They say they fixed it. Days later the check engine light comes on again. Now my thermostat needs replaced? Months after that it breaks down again on my way to work. Now it's the crankshaft motor and sensor so they say. We can only take it to the mechanics that work with them or you pay a higher deductible. My car has been in the shop since March and now it's May. It's still not fixed and the mechanic can't figure out what's wrong. I've spent $3700 on repairs, towing and rentals and still don't have a working car. All the loan company cares about is getting paid. This has ruined my credit and I'm struggling to get another car because of it!!

    I purchased a vehicle from Carvana on March 7, 2026, and within approximately 700 miles of driving, the vehicle developed severe mechanical issues that ultimately required an engine replacement. A vehicle with this type of condition should not have been cleared and sold to a customer without proper inspection and quality assurance. I have now been without my vehicle for nearly one month while continuing to make monthly payments and manage ongoing rental expenses.

    Throughout this process, communication has been extremely inconsistent. I was repeatedly given repair timelines that later changed, often contradicting what the repair facility told me directly. My assigned case manager, Jassy, frequently stated she was unable to reach the repair shop for updates, yet I was able to contact them myself and obtain information. This left me feeling as though I had to manage and monitor the process on my own instead of receiving the support expected from a dedicated case manager.

    Another major concern has been the lack of written follow-through. On multiple occasions, I requested email documentation summarizing what was discussed over the phone, and those follow-ups were either delayed or never sent. Given the amount of conflicting information I have received throughout this process, this has made me feel the need to personally document every conversation and timeline myself.

    I understand delays can happen, but customers should not have to repeatedly chase answers, request promised follow-ups, or struggle to receive clear communication during a major repair situation shortly after purchasing a vehicle. This experience has caused significant financial stress, inconvenience, and frustration. I trusted Carvana with a major purchase and expected the vehicle to be properly inspected, reliable, and backed by professional customer support when problems arose. I am sharing this experience because I would not want other customers to go through the same situation.

The only thing I wish we could do is see the car in person before the time of pick up, especially since I had a trade in and this was a lot of money to risk even with a money back guarantee. Luckily I took the Porsche to the mechanic and they said it’s in great condition since it was a one owner car. Good job Carvana inspection team!!

    I purchased this vehicle from Carvana and paid for it in full, and my pickup was scheduled for today at 1:30 PM. Only two hours before my scheduled pickup, I received a text and email stating that the vehicle had not arrived and that my pickup would be delayed another 10 days. I had already taken the day off from work and made arrangements based on Carvana's confirmed pickup appointment. What is most frustrating is that this vehicle was being transported from several states away. It is very difficult to believe that Carvana did not know until two hours before pickup that the vehicle would not arrive on time. They should have known at least a day or two earlier and notified me before I rearranged my schedule.

    During my call with customer service, I asked how often this happens. The representative told me that approximately 5% of their transactions are affected by this type of delay. That means about 1 out of every 20 customers experiences a similar last-minute cancellation. If that figure is accurate, this is not an isolated incident but a recurring issue. I understand that transportation delays can happen, but waiting until the last minute to notify a customer after a confirmed pickup appointment is unacceptable and shows a lack of respect for the customer's time. I am extremely disappointed with this experience and expected much better communication and customer service.

To make matters worse, the front passenger-side window arrived would not close. They told me where to take it for repairs, but it has been two weeks and I still haven’t received any response or proper support.

    Carvana pricing was by far better than any dealer we checked and much less than your direct competitor. It was an easy decision to buy with Carvana. The Carvana process was somewhat confusing and inconsistent. The Chat group provided very brief info which many times turned out to be wrong after talking to a live customer service agent. From a process standpoint, I would have preferred a phone call, rather than getting a text and uploading information I interpreted one way which was not what Carvana needed. Case in point, I uploaded an insurance card roughly eight times. All in all Having been a staunch purchaser at dealerships, I can say buying from Carvana gave me a great price and a vehicle that was in better shape and cleaner than expected.

    Buying my 2018 Toyota Camry through Carvana was a terrible experience. My paperwork was approved in the app, and I even confirmed the night before delivery that everything was set. I spent hundreds on plane tickets to fly home and be there for delivery, only to get a call during the delivery window saying they could not bring the car because of an insurance issue they should have caught beforehand.

    I had to reschedule for two weeks later, fly back again, and then they almost repeated the same problem. At one point they canceled and redid my purchase, took my down payment, and then processed the new order without applying it correctly. When I asked about my money, I was told I could not get it back for seven days after delivery, even though I needed it to complete the purchase. One rep actually suggested I just make a payment toward the car later, which was absurd.

    When the car finally arrived, it was missing a front plate holder and did not come with the actual registration paperwork, which made inspection and legal setup even more difficult and wasted part of my 7-day window. I spent hours on the phone with Carvana, repeating the same story to different people over and over because nobody seemed to know what was going on. The car may be fine, but the process was a complete mess. Next time I would rather just go to a dealership.

    I called Carvana which got me in contact with silver rock who their warranty is through. They gave me 2 locations near me to get it serviced. I called them both and was told by both that this is an issue that would need to go to the dealership and is not covered under warranty. They both also said Carvana does not service or maintenance their vehicles before selling them. When I called to return the vehicle they did absolutely nothing to try and solve the problem, just said, "ok we will be there Monday to Pick it up" First of all, no one should ever have to take their vehicle to be serviced when having it less than 24 hours especially when you are paying almost $40k for the ** thing!!!

    The initial process was excellent and straightforward. I was excited about the arrival of my new car. Once it arrived and as I was filling out paperwork with the driver, I noticed some rust on the suspension strut. This worried me right away and I couldn’t wait to have it unload it so I could review the bottom of the car entirely. Once the driver left, I drove the car into my driveway and thoroughly reviewed the bottom of the car. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. The bottom was extremely rusted. There were some brackets so corroded that I’m certain these would break anytime soon. This car shouldn’t have been sold as is. What’s more disappointing I paid the 1,990 shipping fee.

    Absolutely awful experience, disappointed and disgusted in this company. Purchased a Tacoma, they received our payment from our bank on April 3rd, was set to be delivered by April 8th. They called, said the truck "wouldn't start." New delivery date of April 10th, but never heard back from them in regards to what was wrong with the truck. At this point we're very suspicious and concerned obviously that "the truck wouldn't start" and no further information. Is it the battery? Starter? No contact with us. Truck has almost 90k miles. We both agree and have an uneasy feeling in regards to the vehicle we purchased that currently "won't start." All communication from Carvana also disappears at this point, which seems to be their specialty after they steal your money.

    We cancel the truck the morning of April 13th. Now, according to carvana's website, refunds take 10-15 business days. Does not state it takes longer if you use a 3rd party, aka your own bank, to finance. They've had our payment/check since April 3rd. We patiently wait our 10-15 business days to be refunded so we can begin the car buying process again, which at this point feels like forever. After 2.5 weeks, we start attempting to contact carvana to inquire about any sort of time line or update, if the check has been sent, etc. ANY sort of information. We get nothing. Absolutely nothing other than apologies, "We are working on it, we've submitted a ticket, this has been upgraded to our treasury department," excuses, etc. No one will tell us ANY information.

    By business day 15, we are beyond frustrated and continue to get zero responses or information on what has happened to our money. Now at a month of them having our money, we've spent countless hours on the phone. Endless correspondences with their pointless advocate chats, being repeatedly told the same thing, which is absolutely nothing. No one seems to know where our money has disappeared to. By the 17th business day, my husband calls our bank to see if they can assist us in any way. The bank manager calls and finally discovers that the truck we purchased has already been resold. And they still have our money. So, that seems...unethical? Illegal? Just plain sleazy. Our bank get their lawyers involved, again countless hours on the phone trying to deal with carvana. All we want is our money back so we can move on.

    We've been lied to repeatedly, given apologies and excuses, at no point were we given any information as to why OUR money wasn't being returned to us. It was absolutely crazy and extremely stressful, so many wasted hours spent talking to people that couldn't/wouldn't help us get our money returned. After our bank had their lawyers call, carvana magically issues our check back on May 5th. By this point over a month of them having/keeping it and us accruing over $170 in interest. Horrible experience to say the least. Their communication is endless during the car buying experience when they are taking your money. Constant phone calls and emails. Then, when it comes to refunding or returning your money, crickets. No responses or endless lies from this company. Sad and disappointing.

With exactly what I wanted in Florida, the option to ship for a very reasonable price with exact arrival timeline made for a very positive experience. Once it arrived, the associate at the Nashville location helped make a couple of things right, and immediately: replacing the missing charger with a new-in-box unit, and getting the rear tire aired up.

    Once I left, that low tire came back so I had Tesla look at it. They discovered a nail and offered to make the repair. I approved so that I could get back on the road, and when I called Carvana they took the info and offered to mail me a check for the repair. I mean, seriously, it cannot get any easier to have the confidence in what you're buying with a 7-day guarantee, support if anything goes wrong, and getting a free pass from sitting around a "finance manager" office for 3 hours signing 3-foot long forms :) You guys really have it figured out, and I am very happy with my experience.

    First time purchasing with Carvana. I found it to be very easy and quick while the website and app were having some minor issues. The vehicle showed up on time and the driver and his trainee were very friendly and helpful with my trade in. There was a technical issue with their app saying that I was supposed to have a check for them but they worked diligently to get it resolved. It took about an hour to resolve. Once the vehicle was unloaded I took it for a test drive. I noticed that there was a strong cigarette smell in the vehicle despite their being an air freshener in each cup holder and door and under each seat a total of 10 air fresheners trying to mask the smell. This was not disclosed on the website anywhere.

    The vehicle looked mostly clean but upon further inspection there was a lot of work left to do to get all the ash and dust out of all the crevices it took me several hours. As far as the truck goes it’s in great condition mechanically so far and I purchased the extended warranty and hopefully will not have to use it. I would use Carvana again but probably wouldn’t have a vehicle shipped due to it costing almost $1900 (non-refundable).

Mechanic has done a poor job about keeping communication lines open with me so I have to keep calling them.

Silver rock doesn’t own the car - the mechanic should have verified with the owner that they wanted the repair done (I’ve never had a mechanic disassemble my cars without my consent before). All Silverrock does is decide where the mechanics paycheck would come from - them or me. But I’m guessing that’s why the mechanic started the repair with my knowledge or consent - to guarantee himself a paycheck. Just filling this review hasn’t even been user friendly. Definitely would not recommend Carvana to anyone.

    The online purchasing, delivery, and trade in experience was great and smooth sailing. The only aspect I was disappointed in was how damages/imperfections on the vehicle were shared. While the 360 view was available and there is a statement about not every minor imperfection being pictured individually, it feels slightly off to show some of the very minor things but a relatively significant chunk of the very rear window edge was missing (rock damage possibly?). While it is completely cosmetic, I wouldn't consider it minor. Everything else about the experience was great, and I would do it again. But that one small aspect does make me have a thought in the back of my mind that it's possible a bigger issue may be hidden as well at some point.

    The online experience and overall experience was wonderful but the pick up location/dealership was terrible. Despite having confirmed all documents days prior to our appointment, we arrived at our scheduled appointment and had to wait an hour and a half to get our car. We also did not actually get the experience it coming down the tower despite me communicating that it was important to us. They told us they were cleaning the car while we were there and when they did put it in the tower, they put it on the very bottom. The lobby had a corn-hole game but it couldn't be played because one of the bags had bust open and no staff had cared to clean it up. This gave it a dirty look and seemed silly that no one stopped for 5 mins to vacuum up the beads for safety. Also, the locked staff area door shouldn't be propped open. The entire time we were there, the staff only area that requires a keycard was propped open with people walking in and out. This is unsafe.

    This car was a birthday gift for my husband and my children were so excited to see the car come out of the "vending machine" so watching them have to rush to poorly clean the car and have us wait 1.5 hours to do so is just disappointing. The rep on the phone who helped verify my documents as well as the shop that helped with the warranty claim was amazing. They were courteous and caring. As someone who literally owns a concierge company that specializes in customer service, the experience at the shop was disappointing.

    This was supposed to be an easy, seamless experience however that stopped once the car(s) arrived. Initially I ordered a 2020 Cadillac xt4 that had serious mechanical issues so I returned that and purchased another Cadillac but this time xt5. It too has issues however due to Carvana’s 3 can exchange policy I was afraid to exchange that one plus I truly liked the vehicle. It has been a nightmare every since with getting repairs done that were not disclosed in the sale via their “inspection” they advertised and I have complied with every and all requests they along with Silver Rock has asked of me yet I continue getting push back.

    I’m sure they are just following protocol due to the cost of the repairs but even if the vehicle had been sent back they would have had to do the necessary repairs due to the disclosure. Why not repair it for me a repeat customer… My anxiety has been in overdrive and I have lost faith in this car buying type of experience.

When I still had not heard from them the next day I got the royal runaround. They passed me on to several different people until I got to Verrick who said that I need to resubmit some information. I gave them the same information that they already had and on which they based their offer. The offer now dropped down to $19,000. I told them this was not acceptable and Verrick spoke with a supervisor and again the answer was $19,000. I made a commitment to buy a new car based on their $21,000 offer only now to have them decrease it by $2,000. I took the car to a local dealer who paid me $19,500 on the spot.

    I purchased a 2024 Hyundai Santa Cruz Night Edition. It was supposed to be delivered on April 25, 2026. Actual pickup date was 29 April. There were minor blemishes from use but no major damage. Upon pickup I noticed that the passenger rear quarter panel has been rubbed against something. It scratched the paint and the plastic molding. My advocate nor did anyone tell me about the damage to the vehicle. I went back inside and showed them the damage. It was chopped up to a transport issues. My advocate took pictures and gave me a number to call. I paid 1900 in transport fees. The vehicle started out in Oregon and then was delayed in Arkansas. I got multiple emails about the location of my vehicle but at no time did I get one saying it was damaged.

    I also noticed once I got to my home that the front driver side also had rub marks on it. It blended in better which is why I missed it during pick up. So delays to my delivery and damage to the vehicle, no offer to return some of the transport fee, no real help other than here is a number to call. I am really not happy at this point. It may be hassle free, but that doesn't mean no customer service. Yes I have the option to return the vehicle with in seven days. However, a 2024 with less than 6,000 miles is hard to find and Hyundai doesn't offer the Night Edition any more.

    The trade in process was good and I believe I received a fair value. The failures of the transaction were associated with the car I acquired. The 1st day I got home the battery failed. I jump started the car and took it to my local Chevy dealer. It needed a new battery. Additionally, the tires were extremely out of balance as well. Total cost to me $406.89. Since the dealer installed the battery and balanced the tires there was no help form Carvana. Don't expect a serious inspection from Carvana. Importantly, the car was advertised as having 2 key fobs. Only one fob was delivered with no explanation. This will cost a$200 - $300 more to remedy. Interestingly, I turned in 2 fobs with my trade in. It's now advertised as having only one. The repeated mishandling of key fobs, which are expensive, appears odd and I believe Carvana should look into that.

    I would not recommend the experience to a friend. First, there was a lack of clarity in communication when arranging financing- Carvana asked if I was pre-approved with my lender. I had filled out a form online with my credit union which said I was pre-approved up to a certain amount. With no further detail from Carvana about what "pre-approved" meant, this seemed sufficient. However, once the process started, it became clear Carvana was expecting much more concrete plans from my credit union, which I had to scramble to satisfy at short notice. Then, as this progressed, Carvana claims details will take days to verify, while notifying me that I have hours to complete the process otherwise the purchase will be cancelled.

    Once I had the car, I was disappointed to find that it smelled rather strongly of cigarette smoke. Had I gone to a traditional dealer, I never would have started the process based on that. I considered cancelling the deal- however, I like the car itself- it was the car I wanted, and by the time I received it, Carvana had nothing comparable to it, so if I had backed out, I would be back to square one. I paid $25 for a new cabin air filter, then about $40 for a "Bio-Bomb" which has mostly reduced the smoke smell, although replacing it with a swimming pool smell... hopefully that will dissipate with time.

    Further, I'm already having warranty work done, the charging door gets stuck which is apparently a common problem for this model. The previous owner knew about this problem, there are marks from someone attempting to pry the door open. Also, the wireless phone charging bay appears to have been what the previous owner used as an ashtray- it has been cleaned up so it's not obvious, but the charger does not seem to be operational. That will not be covered by warranty since it would be considered damage- it's not a dealbreaker, but it's not good. Lastly, when I did talk to real people, it was obvious they are not allowed to deviate from a script- nobody is fooled. No matter how syrupy sweet the words are, I do not feel the love.

    Upon driving the vehicle off the lot we immediately noticed two cracks in the windshield, one directly in my wife's line of sight while driving, the other on the passenger side. I called up the woman who sold me the vehicle and even though it was less than five minutes since we left, she stated since we drove it off the lot and none of us immediately noticed there's nothing she could do and I had to call SilverRock, which by the time we did they were closed until Monday. When I did call them they stated I needed to go through Carvana as it was within my first seven days which caused me to lose two days talking with anyone.

    The woman I talked with at Carvana on Monday was actually fantastic and helped try to push through everything for me, but SilverRock ultimately denied the claim stating it wasn't in the driver's view even though one of them is. So now I'm going to have to spend my own money to have these filled when I paid cash for this vehicle already. This is an incredibly poor experience and a lack of anyone trying to help a customer out when selling a new vehicle.

    On Tuesday when it started to rain out here, we seen that the wipers were in poor condition and have to have them immediately replaced or we wouldn't be able to drive. That cost us 65 dollars, yet again another expense that should have been handled before the minivan was even sold. It's also the day I noted that the minivan's second key was pin locked preventing it from reaching over a specific mph as well as radio volume. I then called up to get a reimbursement for the windshield wipers and to talk about getting the pinlock on the car removed as this should have yet again been done before selling it.

    I called up yet again to get these two issues rectified. The gentlemen I talked with said he put in a reimbursement request for the wipers (which he did not) and tried just having me put in a ticket for a locksmith which I told him was not the problem with the key. He then said we will call SilverRock together on the phone, when we did they were closed and he said there was nothing more he could do for me.

    I then called up the next day and talked with someone who was quite nice and actually took care of the reimbursement as requested for the windshield wipers, but because the second key wasn't listed she said she didn't think anything could be done about the pin. I went to the dealership and they stated it would be 500 dollars to fix and I was informed it wouldn't be covered because it wasn't stated there were two keys even though the pictures within Carvana shown both keys being present.

    Overall, this experience has soured my want to buy from Carvana again if they can't even live by their own standards they put in place to take care of a vehicle they sell. All three of my problems should have been able to be handled before the vehicle was even given to me. It shouldn't take me driving it find these. I'm not a mechanic but I was able to find all these problems within the first three days of driving, what are the mechanics even checking when these vehicles come in.

    After my current experience I personally don't think I would recommend anyone purchasing from Carvana unless they change how they actually take care of the customer as well as ensure the common usage devices are handled within the vehicles such as keys, windshield wipers, etc. It's mindboggling as well that an employee who I was just working with was unwilling to handle or mark the damages to the windshield she just sold me the vehicle. Overall, a very disappointing experience.

    I have never been this disappointed in a car buying experience. My husband and I were trying to purchase our THIRD car from Carvana, and it showed up with a cracked grill. We didn’t even notice it at first because the car was still on the truck. While the rep was going over the car, she pointed out a bag in the trunk that she thought was an accessory… It was actually a replacement grill. So you expected us to install that ourselves? Seriously? We immediately said we didn’t want the car, and then spent over 2 HOURS trying to get out of the deal. There was a trade-in involved - a Mercedes that we also bought from Carvana, so that was another hurdle. To make things worse, the rep marked the car as “delivered” while she was still there going over the purchase and car.

    Now it’s been FIVE days, multiple calls later, and their system STILL thinks we bought the car. I’m getting messages about when my payment is due, and a call from a Carvana rep asking when he can pick up the car we never purchased because he heard we wanted to return it…This is all for a car we never accepted. How does this even happen? Carvana has definitely lost a customer. Since I haven't gotten any resolution, I thought this might help.

We picked up one vehicle from a local Carvana location, and the other was delivered to our home - in both cases, Carvana was flawless. I also really like the ability to easily add extended warranty coverage online at purchase time, and to customize the type and duration of coverage. Carvana transformed car shopping from a nightmare into a pleasure. I wish I'd known about Carvana months ago!

    My first car did not really meet my expectations. It developed a rattle in the underside of the car. It also was not detailed before pickup. My trade-in went flawlessly and everyone I dealt with was very helpful and professional. I really appreciate how polite everyone in customer service. So far, I really love my new vehicle. I had it checked by my mechanic, and he said all it needs for inspection are new rear brakes and rotors.

    I placed my order. Paid the non-refundable delivery fee to a Carvana near me and the down payment on the 2013 Ford Explorer. Selected my time and date for 8.00 pm at night. I live in Jacksonville so that's a 2 and half hour trip one way. 5 hour total trip with 3 kids so I changed the time to 8 am the next morning instead. It was all approved. I did all my task then I start getting contacted apologizing for the delay that I wasn't even aware of. Then they delayed my pickup time for 2 weeks after I had just sold my other vehicle thinking I was picking up my Carvana car 2 days later not 2 weeks later. They said the delay was because a faulty back up camera but yet the camera is still not correct. The back up lines are stuck like I'm always turning. They don't line up.

    While waiting and staring at the pictures of the car on the Carvana website there is a picture describing a dent in the rear fender which I don't care about. But in that picture photo number 22 out of 33 there is clearly a screw in my new 20 inch expensive SUV tire. I sent the pictures. Rep said it would be fixed also. Still not fixed which I will now have to plug. The buying process was really fast and easy. In and out. Just confused why my car was delayed 2 weeks and the issue was not fixed and how the tire was not replaced after I assured it would be taken care of. I can't find the order number on your site. The info is gone because the car is sold.

    Was in the process of purchasing a car from them last week and they told me my 1099 income was just fine. That night a large amount of money came out of my account for a down payment for a car. The very next day after the down payment money was taken they called me and said my 1099 income was not okay to get a car. I told them I need my money back because this is bullshit. "Somebody had just called me and told me I was approved and you guys have taken my money." That day they took hundreds more out of my account. Here it is a week later and I'm still waiting for them to give me my money back. These lying snakes in the Grass said I was approved, stole my money and then said that I cannot be approved and still have not returned it. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THE SHADY SNAKES. THEY WILL STEAL FROM YOU. THEY DID IT TO ME!

    Very disappointed in Carvana. Car arrived and I traded in my car at the same time. I noticed some scratches on the purchased vehicle (Camry) and also the detailing of the vehicle was unacceptable. Looked like there was bbq sauce (not stains) in between seat and door. Seats were left with a dirt residue. After haggling with them to get it detailed and then the amount (they offered $100) for the whole car.. we settled on $150. The exterior was never settled. I asked for some touch up paint and they refused. The scratches were not listed online when I purchased the vehicle. Now I'm stuck.. I could have them pick up the car but have no vehicle as they will send a check for my trade in. Poor service and beware of Carvana.

    We had recently lost our car in an accident. We went to several dealers and each tried to play games with us. "Oh, we just sold that car, I have something even better." This included changing prices from those found online to adding "special coatings" to raise the cost of the vehicle. With Carvana, what we saw was what we ended up paying. No sales gimmick, no sleazy salesman, just a list of cars with the actual price. Once we selected a car, it was just as easy. The site walked us through the process slowly and answered any and all questions that we thought up as we went along. Easy, HONEST, and less hassle than I ever thought possible with buying a car.

    The experience being my first was exceptionally great. The only part that became a little confusing was both my husband and I bought cars thinking we were transferring our plates. When my advocate arrived with the new vehicle it had new plates on it. This could have been better communicated. Also, letting people know they need their title at delivery too. I knew this but it wasn’t talked about until my advocate called me for delivery.

    I purchased a low mileage 2018 ford ecosport (44,000 miles) at the end of January. I drove the car 45 days and it completely broke down mid driving. My spouse found out the car had an engine recall after calling Carvana. We got the car to a Ford dealership who confirmed the car broke due to catastrophic engine failure. The car remained at the dealership for 2 1/2 months waiting for a long block. Got the car back for less than 5 miles and it died in the middle of the road with traffic behind me. Again got it back to the dealership. A battery, alternator and gear shutter engine had to be replaced. Hard to believe there was a 150 pt inspection done on the car.

    t is April 20, 2026 and I haven't had my car more than the first 45 days after purchase. I'm so disappointed and furious all at the same time. Making payments on a car that's been in the shop after 45 days of driving it. Terrible decision to buy from Carvana. Currently working on escalating this as high as I can. This car was dangerous from the start. I would not put my spouse and children in a vehicle from this place. Less than 1 star..

    The sale for the most part was smooth. Shopping was great. Lots of choices. Only drawback is purchasing sight unseen there were more dings and dents that were not shown in the condition of vehicle but it's a used vehicle what it is they could detail their inventory a little better. Other than that vehicle runs and drives good.

    Love the 2017 van we purchased. However don’t love that it was delivered with the AC not working and that was not mentioned at all. It has been a headache to get it into a an in-network repair shop far away from me, when I feel it should be covered at any shop near me that can get it fixed. Very frustrating. Also the van was semi cleaned but not a “new car” clean, smeared windshield, seats needed extra cleaning ect… Not terrible but not what you would hope.

    I purchased a 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLB from Carvana on March 18, 2025. Within the first year, I drove the vehicle less than 11,000 miles. On March 26, 2026, the vehicle broke down. Before that happened, Carvana directed me to one of their partnered mechanics, who inspected the car and told me everything was fine. That turned out to be completely false. When the vehicle finally failed, I took it to a certified Mercedes-Benz dealership, where a full inspection revealed nearly $16,000 worth of damage. These were not minor issues — they were serious mechanical failures that clearly existed prior to my ownership and were completely missed (or ignored) by the mechanic Carvana sent me to. Despite this, when I contacted Carvana, I was told there was nothing they could do and that the situation was my responsibility.

    Let me be clear: I trusted the process. I went where they told me to go. I followed their system. And because of that, they were able to avoid accountability for selling me a vehicle with major pre-existing issues. The only reason I am not completely stuck is because SilverRock (their warranty partner) stepped in and covered part of the repairs. Without that, I would have been left with a broken car and a $16,000 bill. Carvana failed in two major ways:

    1. Selling a vehicle with serious underlying issues.

    2. Sending me to an inadequate mechanic who failed to properly inspect the vehicle, allowing those issues to go undetected until it was too late.

    If I could go back, I would never purchase a vehicle from Carvana. This experience has cost me time, money, and trust. Buyers need to understand — if something goes wrong, you may be on your own.

This is the second time using Carvana and will definitely buy from them again. The upfront pricing and no pressure sale was great.

    Well, ordered my car and was given multiple delivery dates in a week. On the third rescheduling of the car which was two weeks out, I asked to cancel the delivery so that I can pick up and they cancelled the whole order. And I lost out on the 690 shipping fee, no refund. Was lied to multiple times about when the vehicle would be delivered. Then asked for them to ship my car, someone else bought it one hr later they claimed. Very frustration and horrible experience, terrible communication. False fast delivery claims.
