    I wanted to buy a car. Carvana, wanted me to put down like 8 to $10,000 LOL. My credit score was over 640 but I had no credit history. I went to Toyota of Rockwall, didn't even have to prove income and got a great used Prius with all the bells and whistles for under $300 a month. $1,000 down.

    Thank you for taking the time to share your concerns with us, as we are always looking for ways to improve. To secure financing terms with Carvana, we require our customers to enter their annual income and perform a soft pull, which does not affect their credit score. Once completed, we generate our personalized financing terms using information obtained from Experian. Our financing terms are active for 45 days, and if you are unhappy with your terms, we recommend financing with a bank or credit union. However, it appears you have already received a new vehicle for a rate that works for you. If you want to use Carvana in the future, do not hesitate to contact us via phone or our online chat feature.

    Carvana offers a lot of customer support options, and initially I was impressed with how they helped me through the process. Also, they had the car I wanted and the delivery driver was really nice, which shouldn't be overlooked. But everything else has been a total headache. The car arrived dirty and with undeclared cosmetic damage. As a result, I've been sent on a wild goose chase of endless errands. I had to figure out how to get the car cleaned and detailed, and then spend hours on hold trying to figure out how Carvana intends to pay for it.

    Additionally, it's now my responsibility to take the car to a body shop for repairs, and I have to go to one of their choosing, which is across town – even though I live literally next door to a body shop. Of course, they'll be keeping my car for a week, which means I also need to arrange for a rental car. Does Carvana help with that? Nope. I have to sort that out myself, and then go through a lengthy reimbursement process that will take months.

    None of these things would be a major issue on their own, and would be relatively easy to sort out if I was working with a dealer or any other real live person. Honestly, Carvana could solve all these problems just by being more proactive and handling this stuff for me. Instead, dealing with this fallout from this online purchase has become like a second job. Don't let the novelty of internet car buying fool you. It's more trouble than it's worth.

    Started with just browsing their website looking to replace my 2009 Chevy Impala. The website is easy to navigate and filter exactly what you want and are looking for down to the mileage and features. I was pleasantly surprised to find out I could pick up or have the vehicle, I decided on, delivered. I wanted the total advertised Carvana experience and picked it up and got to vend my car! So fun! They collected taxes and sent my titlework/check to register my vehicle within 20 days of my purchase! When I had questions, the customer service agents were pleasant and friendly! Carvana even took care of my concerns with the aesthetics of the vehicle.

    Upon my pickup of my new car, they addressed some scratches that were not pictured or noted on the website pictures of my car's blemishes. They are currently covering the repairs on those blemishes! Honest and transparent info on their vehicles, great value, and excellent customer service! Carvana did a great job for me!

    I hardly buy a TV without first going to a store to see it in person; so I was very amazed to buy a car in about a half hour over the internet. Carvana made the process easy and quick, the only thing that they didn't do was deliver the car, but they did send an UBER to pick me up. Everyone I dealt with, either over the phone, through the internet or in person was helpful and courteous. I strongly recommend them if you are in the market for a vehicle.

    As we all know, finding cars right now with a microchip shortage is impossible, most dealerships have nothing on their lots, or close to nothing. Used cars are marked up to new car value. After searching at all major dealerships within a 2 hour radius of me, I decided to check out Carvana. We've all seen the commercials, who wouldn't want to have their car delivered to them? Especially with as busy as most of us are, single mom with 4 kids here, I don't have hours to kill looking at cars with 4 hooligans in tow. So I spent the day, looking at Carvana. I found a vehicle that fit exactly what I wanted and worked on applying for financing. I got tied up with a client, and my timer expired, but the website tacked another 10 minutes on for me to go ahead and finish filling out my paperwork. I received a call a few hours later, where they finished verifying I was who I said I was, and then it was just waiting for the car to be delivered.

    The day of delivery, I got an email that stated my car wasn't going to arrive that day due to delays and it made me select a different day, which was super disappointing because I had a lunch date lined up with friends to go test drive it, but there are worst things that could happen. And actually, 2 days before it was scheduled to be delivered on the new delivery day, Carvana called and asked if I wanted to have it delivered a day early. Well of course! They were able to change the delivery address as I was at work and didn't have a vehicle to make it to my house that day, and everything went super smooth.

    I had it checked out by my mechanic and the only thing we've found wrong with it is the back brakes need replaced, but that's covered under my warranty, so I'm able to get them replaced no problem. If I ever purchase another vehicle, I would definitely do it through Carvana. I tell everyone I talk to that this was the easiest process ever and you didn't have to deal with some annoying salesperson bothering you and pressuring you into purchasing something you don't want.

    I would give 0 stars if I could. My experience with Carvana has been a nightmare that is still ongoing. I will NEVER purchase from them again and I will encourage everyone I meet and know to never use them. I have been lied to over and over. They owe me over $1500 that I still haven't received! I can not get a Manager to help me even though I have asked for one multiple times! I received a vehicle with a broken seat heater that passed inspection but I found the seat heater broke on my drive home from picking up the car. I immediately called in the repair and they still haven't tried resolving it! I've talked to over 20 customer service reps, been promised things that never happen, never get calls back when I'm told I will and all these things have yet to be resolved! This company is by far the worst I've ever dealt with. I want my money and my car fixed now so I can never have to speak to carvana again!

    I loved the process, quick and easy! Got the car, no issues, they took my trade with no issues. Got my registration with no issues. The car had NO valid inspection or emissions test, I would have expected to know that in advance. I paid for the inspection and emissions out of my own pocket. I also had to get the interior steam cleaned as there were a few stains! If purchasing through a dealer I would have had a fully detailed vehicle and would have had an inspection and emissions done at no additional cost to me.

So I started to refer them to everyone I knew (at least 3 people I know also bought a car after presented Carvana to them).

    First of all, I probably could've gotten a car for cheaper at a dealership, but it also would've meant hours of my time. Carvana was easy, convenient, and most of all, their customer service team is amazing! I purchased a vehicle that I thought would have everything I wanted, only to realize after a few days of driving that it was missing certain features that I decided would be critical to me. I called. Carvana immediately connected with a representative who walked me through the process for returning the vehicle. I told him I was interested in another car, and he was able to quickly get things in order to make sure the vehicles were swapped. Next, both of the representatives that dropped the vehicles off were amazing! Extremely friendly and helpful. The process did not take long at all and I had a new car super fast! Carvana really is changing the way we buy cars! Keep it up!

    I was very disappointed with the Carvana service I received after processing. Before that, everyone was so helpful and pleasant and made me feel really good about my decision. It was when the car was supposed to be delivered was when the service started lacking. I received a phone call about an hour and a half before my car was going to delivered to let me know it failed inspection and would need a part. This is the day of! I spoke to them, they offered me $150 for the delay and was told I will have the car delivered by 12pm two days later (a Thursday). My boyfriend and I took leave early from work that day to be home to receive the car. 1pm comes and it still is not delivered so I call, was told it was on its way. Great. 2pm comes, still not there, I get on the chat and was told it was on its way and a representative should reach out to me shortly for the driver's license.

    About 230 I get a phone call, it was a carvana rep. but not the one I wanted to hear me. He says, "I'm sorry to tell you this but your car still has not been worked on so it won't be delivered today." This is where we get mad. He said it should be done shortly, the parts will be delivered Friday and he will try to get me more reimbursement. Friday comes and I email him and get told it still isn't done. I hear nothing all weekend. I email on Monday and he tells me they still don't have the parts but they should be delivered today. Tuesday comes and we are told the same thing. So we decide to do our own investigating and call the place that has the parts, they were leaving with them now, we explained everything and he said they didn't even order the parts until Saturday and now knows why they were being rushed.

    Carvana calls and sets up a time delivery for 5pm on Wednesday (we weren't going to lose anymore leave). We finally get the car one week and one day later. Car is great minus it not really looking like it was detailed like stated but it has no major flaws minus the brakes which we are getting fixed. After this, I get an email stating they can up my reimbursement to $250. So basically $25 more than what we would have gotten for the $25/day late they give out. What a joke and a slap in the face to our spending $42,000 on a car. Not only did we have to deal with the frustration of miscommunication between the reps and not having a car to drive for almost 2 weeks (we sold his car so we could pay it off before receiving this one a few days before finalizing), but we get only $250 for our wait. So very disappointed. I was thinking this was going to be an easy process, nope. My next car will not be from Carvana.

    The car buying process was great, but the car was delivered with major issues which could have blown the motor. The vehicle had no oil on dipstick. Coolant and power steering reservoirs were empty. Basically, the inspection of the vehicle, under the hood, was not done at all. Not happy with that. I was instructed to make an appointment and got it taken care of on the 7th day trial period. I was not able to enjoy the car during that time frame because I didn't want to blow the motor. Thank God, 22 years of military training taught me how to do a proper vehicle inspection.

    My wife and I rarely rate experiences online. However, the whole process of trading in and purchasing a car was so smooth and expedient, I have to respond. First, the people are so friendly and helpful it made the whole deal pleasant. Our purchase arrived clean as a whistle. Like a brand new car and, Moses, the delivery rep, was outstanding. Finally, instead of stumbling around a blazing hot car lot and spending 2 or more hours while the sales person does a dance back and forth with his manager, we did everything from our living room.

Also on the first vehicle they took out 2k. On the second they said I would need an additional 2500. Which is 4500. Carvana keeps trying to take out 4500 and I’m getting fees in my account.

    I bought 5 cars from Carvana in May 2021. The buying process was easy enough. Warranty process was very convoluted and took hours/many phone calls to resolve the 3 warranty claims on the vehicles. The big disappointment comes after Carvana has closed the sale - at that point they could care less about you. It's now been 90 days since my first purchase and I haven't received plates or a title for any of my vehicles. I called them today and they spent all day researching what was going on. At 3 pm I got a message that I needed to go to the DMV to pick up the plates for first purchase, even though I'd given the agent all of the information to look up status on all 5 of my purchases. She just ignored that part of my question.

    I called back, waited 30 minutes on hold, and new agent had to start the process all over. After 30 minutes on hold of listening to the agent talk about the olympics, the weather, an many other topics other than my registration, I asked for an update on what he was hearing from the registration team. He said nothing, as no one had answered his question. I asked how long it should be - he said he had no clue - and I could be on hold for up to the next 4 hours. I asked to speak with a manager, and I was told that wasn't possible. I would have to wait 24 hrs for that. I told him I couldn't wait that long, but please update me on what he finds out. I was never updated. So I guess tomorrow morning I go to the DMV with all my sales contracts and see what I can get done on my own. The remaining I will be forced to file complaints with my state attorney general (it's illegal in CO not to provide a title within 30 days of purchase) to rectify. I will never buy from Carvana again.

    Purchased high $ truck with cash early May. Truck is ok but now almost August now and still no tag or title. After original temp tag expired received a pdf file of Arizona temporary plate to print out and put on the truck (I'm in Georgia). It actually rains here and back window too dark to display. It's in a zip-lock bag on rear bumper - very nice. More than a nuisance this is a major inconvenience. I can't get a toll pass w/o permanent plates so wasted countless hours in past few months sitting in traffic and driving 20 miles out of the way. Probably the worst thing though is absolutely zero proactive communication on when I might actually get this. I do get spam texts from Carvana trying to sell insurance or something so know they've still got my number. Calling the 800 number a is complete waste of a lot of time. When/if you actually get to a person answer is always "it's in process" and maybe some excuses about unnamed circumstances beyond Carvana control.

    This is really a 4.5 rating...only because of the "rush". Financing was in place with a credit union; however, Carvana gives very little time to wrap things up. Luckily I was able to get it done in time. Other than that, the process was seamless. The car was clean and all was true relating to condition, inside and out. Very helpful and delivery was on time, even earlier, with very pleasant associates.

    I began the purchase of my new car from Carvana on July 5 and received my car on July 19. I must say, the experience as a whole was great. As a disabled person, going and spending 7 hours at a dealership is not in the cards for me. I did everything from my computer until the very end of the financing process where I called so my bank funds could be verified and processed. My delivery was a day early, so I didn’t even need to call for updates.

    When the car arrived it was actually in better condition than what the photos show. There was a small dent shown on the trunk but when the car arrived it wasn’t there! The only issue when it did arrive was a bulging tire. I called Carvana and they contacted the warranty company to have all four tires replaced. Getting that completed was a bit of an issue but that was with the warranty company, not Carvana. It did get done and the tires are great, though. I took the car in for a pre-purchase inspection during the 7 day trial period and my mechanic stated the condition of the vehicle was “like new,” and needed nothing.

    I’m still in the registration process so I cannot comment to that, but if it is anything like the other parts of the process, it should be a snap. I have returned all of my paperwork because I am definitely keeping this car. I should add that I got a very good price on my car as well. It was listed about $4500 under blue book and around $3000 less than comparable ones even on Carvana. I have no idea why but I’m not complaining. It’s my dream car!

    One of the worst experiences I’ve ever had with any company. Everything was great until I actually picked up the car, it wasn’t ready when I got there and so we missed out on the experience of the vending machine (small but annoying). When I took the car out white smoke began to puff out less than a mile once I got on the highway. Had to get it towed to mechanic. Turns out there were 2 extra quarts of oil in the car. Luckily I caught it in time and no permanent damage was done to the car. They tried to make me pay for it, but eventually relented. A few days later my tires seemed funny, I thought my alignment was off so I took it back. It. Turns out over all 4 tires I was missing 7 lug nuts. 3 on one tire alone. Needless to say this was extremely dangerous.

    I called and talked to a manager at Carvana who told me he would take care of me from now on and make it right. Just to ask for him. Called several times, never spoke with him again. Someone finally offered me $150 as an apology, said it would take around 5 business days. After 2 weeks and no check I call again, they tell me the check is still in approval in accounting but will be out soon. 3 weeks go by no check. I chat with someone online and they tell me literally the check was being mailed that day and should be there in 3-5 days.

    3 weeks later, no check. I call again. They tell me the check went out, but if I didn’t get it they’d void it and overnight me another one and email me that night with all the details. 5 days later, no check no email. I get another manager on the phone who admits to me the check never went out. It was processed and approved but was never mailed to me, and they’re overnighting me a check today. That was a couple hours ago. Their manager took full responsibility and claimed responsibility, but I have 0 faith this check is coming. I’d almost think they were doing this on purpose, because I can’t see how a company could be this incompetent and admiringly lie to a customer they’ve already let down multiple times. I wish I could give the car back so I never had to deal with them again. Beware.

The vehicle was as explained and it was very clean. I will never go into a car dealership again. This took me maybe 20-30 minutes total to buy my vehicle. At dealership, you would sit there for hours going back and forth with people who really don't care about your best interest anyway.

    Watching TV and saw a commercial for Carvana. Had been thinking about buying a car, but dreaded going into the dealership. Went online and started searching and found the car within a few minutes. Thought about it, and started the purchase. The customer service was great and there for all my questions, as I had doubts about buying a car online. The delivery was like having a new toy delivered on the day and time you chose. The financing was all handled along with registration. Had the car checked by my mechanic and it passed all inspection points. The 7 day money back guarantee made it much easier to make the decision also. I definitely recommend Carvana for your next car purchase. They will also take your old car if you choose to trade it in right on the spot when they deliver your new car. Great experience.

    My overall experience with Carvana was positive. Finding the right car on the website was easy, the filtering options lets you narrow your search down to type, or specific make and model of car. The pricing was hit or miss, cars that were the same, year, make, and model, with similar miles, and options could be thousands of dollars apart. They need to do some more work on their pricing algorithms. I did find a car that was the right age, mileage, and features in my price range, and decided to buy it. The pictures are very detailed, and show most imperfections. The financing process is also easy, I didn't need to provide income verification, although, I know some people have. I uploaded a copy of my driver's license, and that was it. The interest rate was reasonable. The next steps is where things got confusing.

    In Massachusetts, you need to have your insurance completed and active in order to get the registration, and most MA based insurance companies don't like the way Carvana completes the MA registration forms, even their recommend company, Progressive, had issues getting the form completed in a timely manner. The other thing that Carvana can do better with is understanding how MA works for registering a car. I was told multiple times that the car would come with Temp plates, MA does not allow temp plates, so I was very nervous I wouldn't be able to drive the car.

    The car did actually come with the permanent plates installed and the registration completed, so that was a relief, but Carvana call center employees are clueless about this. As for the actual car, it came as described except for one ding that wasn't mentioned, I tried repeatedly to contact Carvana to see what they could do about it, and could never actually get through to someone. I did keep the car, because everything else was perfect, but they do need to work on their support after the sale.

    Carvana delivered my vehicle on 25 June 2021. On July 2 it officially became mine. They issued me a temporary tag and plate. On 9 July I was emailed and told that their driver who dropped off my vehicle forgot to obtain a title reassignment form from me. They FedExed the form to me, I signed it and then returned it to them via FedEx the same day. Carvana received it on July 13, 2021. I called them on July 13 to make sure that they had received the title reassignment form. After several days of speaking with representatives they finally found it. They told me it would take 30 to 45 days to get my title and registration. On July 19 I called to ask what the status was of my title. I wanted to know if it had been sent from Carvana to the state of Georgia at that point. That began my long journey into completely useless responses time and time again from people working in the post sales department.

    They would tell me they contacted people in the registration and titling office but were told they did not know when it would be sent to the state of Georgia. I continued calling and on 19 July 2021 I finally got someone from the Post sales department who told me that it would take 5 to 10 weeks for the state to process and send my title to me after they had sent it to the state but they could not tell me when it would be sent to the state. Still days later no one has been able to tell me when my title application will be sent from Carvana in Atlanta to the state of Georgia DDS office in Atlanta. On all Carvana paperwork it clearly states that titles and registration would be delivered within 30 to 45 days. The excuse given to me by Carvana is Covid. If that was the case they would have reprinted their documentation to provide a more up to date time frame. Which is absolute nonsense.

    I have been calling them at least twice a day for a week now trying to get information as to the status of my title. If the representative in the post sales team even returns my call they will tell me that the registration and titling department can’t tell me when the title will be sent to the state. They are absolutely useless. At this point I have absolutely no idea how many months it could be before I receive my title from the state because Carvana is not telling me when it will be sent from them to the state and in my opinion tend to be blaming the state for the 5 to 10 week hold up rather than admitting they are unable to process registration and titling in a timely manner.

    Georgia state law says that a dealer must supply you with the car title for the car you purchase from them be delivered within 30 days. So it could be several weeks before Carvana sends the title to the state of Georgia and then according to Carvana another 5 to 10 weeks before the state then send it to me. We’re talking potentially well over 75 days. At all costs stay away from this car dealership for your own sake and peace of mind.

    I’m providing my current real-time experience with Carvana for anyone who has doubts. Trust me, your doubts are valid and you should proceed with caution! As background, I was in a car accident and my vehicle was totaled, so I was forced to car ship during the pandemic. I discovered Carvana online, like most people, and I appreciated that I could go through the entire process from the comfort of my home. Plus, with the used car vehicle shortage and pricing inflation of 2021, it was easier for me to shop online.

    The actual process of locating and purchasing the vehicle with Carvana was seamless. I wanted a luxury hybrid with under 50k miles, put in my parameters, and Carvana did the rest. When I found the “perfect” vehicle I completed the purchase process online in less than an hour. I scheduled the delivery date for 2 weeks out, because I wanted enough time to ship insurance and schedule a post purchase inspection with the car’s manufacturer (thank God I did). A week before the car arrived I logged into Carvana to review the pictures again. For some reason, the car’s odometer stood out to me. Upon further inspection, I noticed the mileage on the car was over 300 MORE than the mileage on my Carvana contract. This is a very important detail, because if you decide to return the car within Carvana 7-day return window, you get charged for each mile over 400.

    I immediately called Carvana and asked them to open a ticket to fix the mileage on the vehicle AND conduct another pricing analysis to ensure I wasn’t getting an unfair price due to the incorrect lower mileage. The representative claimed that they would promptly look into it and call me back in a few hours. They did not! I had to call EVERYDAY that week and each time there was no resolution. My case was finally closed a few days before my scheduled delivery. Carvana updated and sent a new contract for me to sign, but claimed that the pricing was correct for the car even though they misstated the mileage (that should have been my first sign).

    Despite this, I decided to proceed with delivery. The delivery date came and I was very excited. The person arrived as scheduled and was actually very nice (shout out Celeste). She told me to test drive the vehicle, which I did, but I wasn’t too concerned because I knew I had a post purchase inspection (PPI) scheduled for the following morning. The next morning, I took the vehicle to the manufacturer’s service department for the PPI. I picked it up about 5 hours later and my mouth DROPPED when they went through the written diagnostics.

    The car had over 10 fatal failures, including a timing gasket cover leak, a stripped drain plug, missing lift blocks, dead tire pressure sensors, weak front hood shocks, front suspension failure and NONE OF THE HORNS WORKING! This is in addition to the vehicle failing the tire tread and paint panel analysis, and a bunch of other minor items. Overall, the service department told me it would cost over $30,000 to fix all of these issue, which at that point would be the price of the vehicle. I was flabbergasted! The Carvana “150 Point Inspection,” which I carefully reviewed (and have a copy of) only noted 2 items, the wipers and back tires, which Carvana claimed was fixed. However, I don’t know how anyone can trust this inspection when they didn’t even at a minimum notice that none of the car horns worked. I thank God I didn’t need to use the horns in that 24 hour period.

    I’m so glad that I paid $495 to get the PPI because the 150 Point Inspection clearly cannot be relied upon. Moreover, had Carvana actually did its job and reported the car’s failures, I would’ve never purchased this lemon. I immediately called Carvana that night and scheduled for the car to be returned. They confirmed the return (which will occur this Friday). Again, it was relatively easy to schedule the return. It was funny to be, that the representative wasn’t shocked when I described how the car really didn’t pass the inspection. My impression is that they hear that a lot.

    The next day I received an email from Carvana confirming the return. I also received an email from Carvana that another hybrid I was interested in just be she available. Not willing to completely discount Carvana (and still needing a car), I called up Carvana to see if they could turn the return to an exchange for vehicle #2. The representative was very nice and worked to make the exchange occur. This was important because they would just apply my down payment they just took from me for vehicle #1 to vehicle #2. It also meant I wouldn’t have to get my credit ran again.

    The purchase of vehicle #2 went relatively easy and the car is scheduled to arrive in August. Of course I’ve given myself 2 weeks so I can get insurance for vehicle #2 and schedule a PPI for vehicle #2. So, where I’m at now is a Lemon vehicle #1 that will be returned to Carvana tomorrow, out $495 for the PPI that I hope Carvana will reimburse ASAP due to their clear negligent inspection that could have put me in danger, and a vehicle #2 arriving next month. Once the PPI has been conducted for vehicle #2, I will update my review to let you know if vehicle #1 was a fluke incident or if Carvana is a sham selling dangerous vehicles. I’m hoping it was an isolated incident, but we will soon find out. That’s all! The moral of the story, check the odometer versus the contract and ALWAYS get a PPI. I hope this review helps someone.

    We were very excited to find a hybrid at a reasonable price on Carvana. The online buying process was easy at first. However, linking an account for a down payment allowed us to link to an account that was “unusable” (there was enough in the account, this was a system error according to them). After 2-3 back and forth calls with many minutes-to-hour long holds and transfers, the issue was said to be resolved. Cut to the day before expected delivery, we called because after double checking the paperwork, the terms were still incorrect and had not been updated. After another 1 hr+ long call, it was said that it would be resolved by delivery the next day.

    The day of: an hour before expected delivery, we receive a call that was missed due to work. Attempted to call back a half hour later and was on hold/transferred again twice before being told that there was a “problem with the state’s title” and the car is unavailable. There was no way to resolve the issue and we have wasted a month of time and insurance money on a car that should not have been sold to us in the first place. At no time was there any communication of these errors. In fact, we received updates such as “your car is in the way!”

    I can not stress how difficult and frustrating this process was. I do not recommend Carvana due to the lack of communication, diligence, and professionalism. At no time did anyone actually call back as promised (it was always someone else transferring us to different people) or fully explain the problem in detail. I still have no idea what the title issue was and neither did anyone calling me.

    This was the worst experience that I have ever had working with a Car lot. I traded my 2018 Malibu Chevy and I ended up getting the Rogue. I didn’t like it so on my seventh day I ended up trying to get another car. 1 next car after that motor was blown. 2 car was wrecked. 3 car was electric. 4 car The motor was tapping. 5 car had a bad leak. So I decided to keep this car and I just fixed it all.

    These times I’ve been trying to get a supervisor or manager to call back. No one returned my call. Then they were giving me compensation for all the problems I went through. Never receive the money or my deposit back. I put a deposit down as of 800 and they were supposed to send me the rest of it back. What was 500 and then the compensation money at 350 I never received none of this money. All of the representative I talk to were very nice. They was trying to find a solution And every time they requested for me to receive my money they shot it down.

    I will never come back to Carvana again. This was the worst experience that I have ever had and then on top of that I am set on a limit income. They reserve for me a car.

    If I was able to give negative stars, I would give a negative 5 stars! I Ordered a Truck that was advertised with a 6 1/2ft truck bed. When the truck arrived it was 5 1/2ft truck bed. I no longer had any mode of transportation (because I was getting a new truck from Carvana), so I had to accept the truck, and looked to figure out what do. I then contacted Carvana about the misrepresentation, and they said I could return the truck, swap it out, or they would offer me $500.00 compensation for their mistake. Since I had no other mode of transportation, I worked to swap it out for a another truck with a 6 1/2ft truck bed. This ended up now costing me an additional $9,000 to get a truck with a 6 1/2ft truck bed. This was a cash transaction, so I felt like the swap would be fairly easy and quick. I was wrong!

    Carvana proceeded to debit my account for the $9,000.00 on a Monday, for a delivery on Wednesday. However, I received a call on Tuesday that the delivery would have to be pushed to Thursday because they had not received funds. Thursday arrived, and they notified me 3-hours before the truck was to be delivered that they had not received funds from my bank so delivery would have to be pushed to Friday. I contacted my bank to find out what the hold up was, and the bank informed me that they released the funds to Carvana on Monday? So now I still do not have the truck I paid for, Carvana has had the money for the truck since Monday, but still no delivery. I am still unsure if the truck will be delivered on Friday as they have now claimed.

    Also, when I call Carvana I am continuously giving the run around about the transaction. Meanwhile I have to drive the original misrepresented truck that they first delivered. This has a tremendous amount of risk because if something were to happen to the truck, before they deliver the next truck, I am held liable. I will never purchase another vehicle from Carvana, and I hope this review helps someone from getting tangled up with this terrible company. Do not get caught up in the same nightmare I am dealing with.

    It's been a nightmare from the beginning. First car had recurring problems (check engine light) beginning on the day of delivery, which may have been related to an issue that delayed the initial delivery of the car but no one was able to determine what the underlying issue was and what may or may not have been done to remedy - I was reassured the problem was solved. Offered to return the car so they could fix it and re-buy when it was in proper shape... told that's not how it works. Option was to take the car to a shop for 100-day warranty work and be without the car for an unknown length of time and still unable to get information if the CEL was related to the initial code that was thrown prior to delivery. Option 2 was to return the vehicle for another car, which I did but this was bungled when they treated Car #2 as a new purchase. This resulted in hassles, more phone calls and delays.

    I eventually cancelled the swap after finding a car locally and returned Car #1. However, because the swap had been initiated, Carvana needed to "rebuild" the original contract before they could issue my refund. Ridiculously, they stated that this was a lengthy process but given my difficulties, they would expedite and complete the contract rebuild in 15 business days. It's now over three weeks later and still waiting for my money ($23K) to be refunded. Speaking to service advocates now who are telling me that the process generally takes 10-15 business days (so much for expedited service). Lots of apologies and promises - little action. All my calls have been handled by different people and the one reportedly senior advocate who gave his direct email and reassured me that he would handle my concerns has not responded the emails that I've sent. I'm thinking it's time for attorneys to talk.

    Saw all the positive reviews on Carvana's website and ignorantly didn't check Consumer Affairs or BBB. I thought, "Wow 5 Stars. This looks great. Let's give it a shot." Bought and traded in a car. The vehicle was supposed to arrive in 7 days. The day before arrival, we got a phone call that there was a "transportation issue" and it wouldn't be coming. It was scheduled for a week later. Two days before that arrival date, now it's, "There's a problem with the car and we need to fix it before we can deliver it." After hours of phone calls, we find out it's a parking sensor that's on backorder and they're waiting on it plus they need to do "some body work to fix scratches on the car."

    About a week after that we were again scheduled to get the car. The day before, we get an email that says, "You can pick up the car a day early if you come to our facility." Of course this was upsetting as they were supposed to deliver it to us but at this point we've been burned twice so we think the only way we're getting this car is to go there and pick it up. So we did. When we went to pick the car up, we did the inspection. The body shop had literally painted 2 of the tires red. Like, they were spraying the car and didn't tape off the wheel wells and just sprayed right over the tires. Not like a little piece of the tire: 12” of the sidewall. And somehow no one noticed at Carvana, the company that told us (and you in their commercials) all of their cars go through rigorous inspections.

    The driver's door popped when you opened and closed it like the hinge was falling off. The body shop also sprayed the front bumper and hood. They didn't tape the undercarriage off so they over sprayed all over the plastic pieces under the car. And worse yet, the paint was already peeling off the bumper like they didn't prep it before they painted so it wasn't sticking to the body of the car. The hood was rippled because they sprayed over (2) 4" long rust spots. All I could do was shake my head. We pointed all this out to the representative who was very apologetic and said he thought it would be covered under the warranty. So against our better judgment we accepted the car. He said someone would contact us within 48 hours to schedule the repairs. Two days later, no one has called.

    We call the insurance company they go through. They said Carvana never submitted anything for our car. So now we have to submit it which we do. The next day, the key no longer works on the car. It's a keyless entry and ignition so anytime we have to get in the car, we have to set the alarm off, open the door, and quickly press the fob against the ignition and start it to get the alarm to stop going off. LITERALLY, every time we want to get in the car. We submit a claim for that issue to the insurance. Go to the gas station, the fuel door won't open. I had to pry it open with a credit card. Submit that issue to insurance. More hours wasted on the phone with Carvana. We had a trip planned. They say go on the trip and we'll extend your 7 days test period a couple days while insurance works everything out. We do, again, setting the alarm off every time we want to use our car.

    A week has passed and the insurance company has not approved any of the work to be done except for fixing the door hinge. While we were driving on our trip, I realized the car was shaking a lot under moderate to heavy braking (meaning the brake rotors are bad). Didn't even bother with insurance this time. Called Carvana and said come pick this piece of junk up. They came the first scheduled time on the return (which was nice) and delivered my trade in car back to us on a rollback. Because they needed approved to accept their car back (because of the extra test drive days and miles) we talked to the delivery driver for a bit.

    He was actually at our house for 2 hours. He said this happens all the time because of issues that aren't reported during the purchase. So what I'm hearing is basically, they don't inspect the cars at all and just hope that there's nothing wrong with them. Sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't. How can that possibly be your business model? So on to my trade in. He's pulls the car off the rollback. It looks like it's been driven through the desert. The wheels are light tan and the sides are caked in dust. I'm assuming what happened is it was parked in a dirt lot and when other cars drive by, it kicks up dust on the other cars. Regardless of what happened, it's completely unacceptable. We complained. The rep said they would give us a $100 credit to go get it cleaned. "Just send us a copy of the receipt and we'll send you a check." We submitted it 3 weeks ago and still no refund. I have to assume we're not getting that money back.

    Lastly, the car was delivered back without the title (we own the car free and clear). The delivery driver said no one told him it needed to be sent with the title. Customer service said, "Oh, it already got sent to headquarters so they'll send it back to you." I got it back 2 weeks later just to find out it was void because they had already wrote on it. So now I need to go to DMV and apply for a new copy of the title which will cost me more money. This was absolutely the worst experience we could have had. I really don't know what worse could have happened. I will NEVER EVER recommend Carvana to anyway and I make it a point when people bring Carvana up to tell them our nightmare of a story so they know what they're getting themselves into. Please do yourself a favor and avoid this company at all costs.

    This time was the worst. 5 times we got a "speed bump" message and the order was delayed. Finally gave up on that one and sought another car, this one hit a speed bump as well. Vehicle finally arrived and we showed up at our appointed time to find the car was out getting brakes replaced. What happened to the 150 point inspection. Sat in the office 3 hours waiting. Finally got the car, it was dirty, and still had a dangerous brake issue. The Carvana experience has done nothing but decline over the course of their history.

    Tried to sell my car, got an incredible offer, I approved it right away and started the process. Then the delays started. They said it would take 1-2 days. I called THREE times over the course of a month, and each time they kept saying they were waiting on my loan payoff to come through from my lender. This was just a tactic and evidence of their buyers remorse for the deal they offered me. I told them I was concerned my offer was going to expire and I needed to sell the car as I was moving out of the country soon. Well, the day after my third phone call guess what happened? My offer EXPIRED and I had to resubmit the sale. Which I did. They then offered me $2500 LESS from the original offer. Carvana, you’re a scam, you completely wasted my time, led me on, and overtly lied to me. Not to mention saying you’d email me with updates and you never did. Do not sell to these weasels.

"Senior manager" called July 23rd said "I will be with you now until the deal is done and call you with any changes." Promised car would be here July 27th, he said "only way it won't be there is if the truck breaks down or the car falls off the truck". Manager emailed his contact info. No last name, no phone # and his email says "Please do not respond to this email. It's not monitored." So 5th person promising to call back who didn't. I have spent endless hours on hold calling Carvana. This manager promised up and down he would call us with any changes. I am now on hold over an hour, again, with no end in sight just trying to cancel the deal. Worse customer service in my 50 years on this earth. One hour on hold just got disconnected.

    TL; DR; Here's the problem with Carvana's customer "care:" there's no continuity. One agent will say and promise one thing, and the next has no record of it! They need to provide customers with the means to get in contact with the specific agent who is working their case (not just a general helpline), and they need to provide those customers with records of what was discussed and what was promised! I've learned that you can't trust what one agent tells you.

    We decided the end of May that we wanted to buy a car a new Jetta and that we wanted to trade-in our current car for it. We shopped around locally, but thought that Carvana offered the best trade-in value, so beginning of June we place the order online and were happy to wait the weeks for our delivery on the 25th. A day or two later, we got the loan through our bank and signed and provided all the paperwork that they needed--after that we've had to re-sign those documents an annoying amount times. Before our delivery, we had to take our trade-in on a road trip. Carvana didn't provide any information after we had it appraised as to how far we could drive it. But when we got back, I got to worrying that the miles we put on the car would void our contract, so I called, first thing, the day before our delivery (and after we had just got back) to explain the situation and to be the good guy by being up-front.

    As it turned out, we had exceeded their un-written policy of 1,000 miles. I offered to bring cash to the delivery the next day to make up the difference, but they wouldn't accept that. The contract had to be rolled back, and I'd have to re-issue the check for the vehicle. Annoying, but my bad for putting extra miles on the car. The agent on the phone promised me a new trade-in value of ~$100 less than our original offer. Great, I thought. But he was unable to get the system to accept the new appraisal value. He said he was going to mess with that and call me right back.

    I waited hours and heard nothing. So I called back, still thinking the car ought to be delivered the next day, after all the car should be in transit ready for arrival and a hiccup in the paperwork shouldn't make a difference. This time, and every time after, I spoke to a different agent. He said there was a technical support ticket out for the new appraisal value (you'd think this would be a scenario they'd design for and be able to handle, but ok). He reassured they'd call me soon, that it was almost done. I asked when the car could be delivered, fearing this would cause a delay. He said the soonest they could deliver would be July 2nd. That was disappointing to hear, but I agreed and he told me that day was scheduled.

    We continued to wait for the phone call, but it didn't come. Meanwhile, their app says that my purchase is still "in progress" with the timer ticking. Once the timer runs out--and ours would have by the next morning--they release the car to the public platform to be purchased by anyone else. Obviously, I can't let someone else purchase my car: the car I have a loan on! So I call again at the end of the day.

    This time I'm on the holding line for more than an hour and a half. Finally I get through to some guy, frustrated at this point. To keep that short, he says three things: There is no record of the July 2nd date, he has to now schedule me for the 9th, and he can't get me the earlier, verbally confirmed trade-in amount. He has to chop that by another $100+. Unbelievably! I ask: "Why is it going to take an additional two weeks, when you should have been on schedule to deliver the vehicle tomorrow?" Turns out, they had a system fluke and the vehicle never left the lot! It wasn't even in transit! (And they forget this when I call in later, because the contracts were rolled back!) Finally, we end the call having locked the contract down. I guess this is how they reward me for trying to be an honest guy. We get them the documents they ask for, and we proceed to wait for the the 9th, only to find more delays.

    They call the day before: truck broke down, coming a day late. Day of, they call again: car didn't pass emissions. The fix? They have to put miles on our car. We wait the weekend. They call again. Car failed emissions again. "We need to drive it more." Incredible! Finally, they delivered the car--with an extra 150+ miles on it. Oh, but the vehicle registration is now delayed. And to top, my bank is going to hit me with fees because they don't yet have the title as collateral on the loan I took out more than a month before! Ridiculous! Carvana did promise to send me some money for my troubles, but haven't received that yet. Of course, one agent I talked to promised me $400, but the next one I talked to had no record of that and could only offer half that! I wouldn't be surprised if they send me nothing at all.

    Buying a 2017 Toyota Corolla was an easy experience on Carvana. Just point and click. What I was less happy about was the delivery. It was delayed once and I was fine with that. Then I was told the car was damaged during transit. Upon delivery, I was very unhappy about the damage and was told it would be repaired by a third party. I didn't want to deal with a third party. Plus there was additional damage that did not show up in the photographs. The delivery guy (who was very nice) told me: "Well, it's a used car." I refused delivery and they took the car back. I'm glad Carvana has that policy. I ended up buying a used 2020 Toyota Corolla with 12,000 miles for a $1,000 more than Carvana from my local Toyota dealership.

    We attempted using Carvana twice. First attempt was a purchase for my daughter (military). No trade in and no financing needed. She had financing elsewhere. She was at Tech School and needed a car before reporting to first duty station. The entire process was wonderful! Picked a car, linked the financial information and choose a delivery date of when she would be home before needing it to drive to her duty station.

    The day the car was to be delivered, we received a call that it would be postponed until the next day. Not a big deal as she was going to be home. Received another call the next day that the car would not be able to be delivered until the end of the week. Again, not a big deal. Received yet another call that it was going to be delayed longer than expected and now it was going to be after she had to report to her duty station in another state. She needed the car to drive there. We canceled the transaction as we were told that there was nothing that could be done and bought a car locally.

    Since everything except the delivery aspect was great, we tried Carvana again for myself. We did have a trade in and we had financing through another lender. Again, everything was seamless. Quote for my vehicle to trade in, picking the exact one that I wanted, linking the financial information between my bank and Carvana, etc. It all was done online and was easy.

    The day before the date I chose for my delivery, I received a call that it was going to be postponed. Since we had the experience with my daughter and read other reviews about this issue, we half expected this. For us, it was not that big of an inconvenience as I still had my vehicle to drive. They gave me a new date and time for the delivery. I did not like the time, so I changed it but kept the same day. About three hours before delivery, I did get a text from the driver that he would be late. He was able to give me a closer time of arrival. The transaction did happen with just the one delay. The delivery is the only reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5.

    We've purchased 2 cars from Carvana. Easy to look at cars, buy cars. Both purchases smooth...delivery smooth. BOTH TIMES they sent a new registration when we told them they were to transfer existing plates. They just don't care about follow-up service. Promised calls back never come. There is no email contact. Their chat box is automated and useless. As I write this, I am on hold for the third time at 45+ minutes as they try to get "an answer".

Here we are three month later and I still don't have the revised paperwork. In the meantime, I am making payments on the old and the new car. The bank for the new loan is angry that they don't have proof of the lien on the vehicle. The bank for the old loan is angry that I am no longer carrying car insurance. Every time I speak with someone at Carvana (which is often), they tell me that the process is almost complete. Then yesterday I get a message from Carvana: "Urgent!

    Carvana was definitely not a simple and easy experience. I would have much rather gone to a car dealership in person as this was an unpleasant and stressful experience. Carvana required me to have future proof of insurance on a car that was not in my possession (and wouldn't be for 4 weeks!) before they would finalize my car order. My insurance company(Progressive, who is their AFFILIATE) wouldn't issue a future policy ID card. So I had to go out of my way, spend more $, and get a policy with a different company, Geico so they would sell me the car.

    I had to pay $490 to have the car shipped to me. The car was delayed, even though I was assured by numerous customer service employees that my car was on its way and would be delivered in time the day before. I got a text the morning of pick up saying it was delayed. Never received any compensation for it being delayed. I also had to call up Geico and move my policy date several times which was frustrating, as I'm not paying for insurance on a car I don't even have yet.

    There was damage to the vehicle that wasn't listed anywhere on their website. Only one small scuff mark was mentioned on their website on the trunk area. There was damage to a rim, damage the size of two quarters on the back right quarter panel as well, and the front bumper was badly scraped underneath/around the edges. Overall, I'll never buy from Carvana again. I'll take my $ to a real dealership where I can see the car and drive it off the lot that day.

    Carvana gave us an excellent offer for our trade-in. The offer was $4500 above the payoff and $5000 more than a local dealer had offered. We knew what vehicle we wanted to purchase, but beating everyone to it was a challenge. As soon as a vehicle became available, someone else put in an offer. After a couple of days we finally got out chance. We financed with a local bank. The back and forth between Carvana, us, and the bank of getting all our documents downloaded caused us to miss our original delivery date (not Carvana's fault). All interaction with Carvana employees was quick and they were able to answer all our questions. The app was very helpful.

    There was only one drawback to the delivery. Carvana said all documents were received and we would only need to send selfies of us with our IDs to the driver when requested. The driver also asked that a Power of Attorney be notarized online. The driver stated this was a requirement. Being skeptics, we requested a picture of the vehicle ready to be delivered. A picture was sent of our vehicle sitting on a Carvana delivery truck. A call to the driver confirmed that the Power of Attorney was required to register the vehicle. We closely read the document and it did state that it was a limited Power of Attorney in regards to the title. The document was notarized and our vehicle arrived on time.

    Previous notice from Carvana on this requirement would have saved time and stress. We are very pleased with the car. It is exactly as stated and the pictures were correct. We had previously owned an earlier version of this vehicle, so we knew what to expect in regards to comfort and driving. I would definitely use Carvana again, but would probably test drive locally to be sure I was comfortable with the vehicle. Carvana does offer a 7 day guarantee, but we want don't want the hassle of returning a vehicle that doesn't feel or ride comfortably. Overall a very pleasant experience.

    I originally purchased one car, different color - newer and less milage. Followed their instruction on submitting info for financing - uploaded docs- signed papers & signed title over for my trade in. Got notified after that the car was sold. Called CS and they assured me - I was the one who purchased it. Next day got a call that the car had been sold to someone else for cash the same day I bought the car. Very disappointing. I ended up buying an older Mazda with more miles for more money and in a color I was not fond of (from Carvana). The only thing they offered was $500 off my purchase. Also no one told me and was not written in the instructions that the person who’s name was on the title of my trade in had to be present the day the new car was delivered. Which caused more confusion and stress trying to coordinate last minute.

    The “new way to buy a car” is a great concept BUT with such a purchase I feel each purchase should be assigned to one associate who works one on one with the buyer during the entire process. Another example - as of today- I don’t know exactly when my payment is due - not sure of the exact amount or if it’s automatically being taken from my account or if I still have to set that up. It’s a great concept just lacking buyer support that you get by going into a dealership. I never thought I’d say this but I think I prefer going into the dealership and having one salesman handle everything from start to finish. The Carvana process puts a lot on the buyer - I felt like I was constantly needing to call customer service - and getting a different associate every time. It wasn’t an awful experience it just could have been a lot better and easier by adding or changing a few things. The system they have come up with overall needs work.

After over a week of not receiving the check, I called Carvana who gave me the tracking number and endorsed the issue was with FedEx.

    After waiting on the phone with FedEx for an hour, I learned that carvana sent the check to the wrong address and was not responsive to FedEx in providing the correct address so the check was returned to sender. Another hour over the phone, 2 different customer service representatives all promised over the phone and in writing that another check was on its way. The third and final representative informed me that the check was not sent and it took another week for them to actually sent over the check. Overall, multiple hours spent over the phone to get this resolved, multiple lies told by multiple representatives to the point that I was considering legal counsel.

And while the process for repair is underway, I have spent much of the last 10 days taking my car to get estimates and repairs. The front end was lightly pulling so I took car to get wheels balanced.

    Absolutely the worst experience ever and still yet another delay on getting my wife’s car. Where do we start, first we bought a car that was supposed to be delivered two weeks ago. It was a Jag diesel F-Pace. Then the first of many issues. The Maintenance person put gas into it so now the vehicle after signing contracts was not available. Purchased insurance and signed contracts no car. Carvana offered no help other than a $250 discount to find another car. So car number two. New contracts signed, insurance switched and now today another delay this time for a windshield supposedly after we have waited weeks for delivery and they are saying two more weeks and not help other than that. Absolutely the worst experience ever buying a car and no resolution. Save yourself the heartache and time. Buy from someone that cares about retaining their customers and resolving problems.

    Carvana is an excellent concept, unfortunately the reality is not as good. Carvana's website offers a potentially awesome way to buy a car. I spent many hours looking through hundreds of cars and thought I found a really great deal. My husband started the purchasing process and it was super easy. All the pricing and costs were clearly stated and getting financing was easy. Everything was done online. We scheduled a delivery date and time, and everything went perfectly as planned. The car was beautiful and I was so excited.

    The first thing I did was go straight to the areas where Carvana had listed an imperfection. Like the pictures I looked at the imperfections were minor and as described. However, while the delivery people were still there my husband noticed some kind of adhesive on one of the seams in the front driver's side bumper. He mentioned it to the delivery person and he replied that it looked like just some paint, maybe a touchup. Since it was raining we decided to look at the car more closely later, and took it for a little drive. The car smelled like smoke, although it said the car had been sanitized the inside didn't look very clean.

    When the rain stopped we went back out to take a closer look. The area where the bumper had been "painted" obviously was covering up the fact that this car had been in an accident. The Carfax said that the car was never in an accident, but when we opened the hood the clips that hold the headlight housing on the driver's side had been glued back, the weather stripping on the headlamp was missing, the panel that is next the hood was not aligned with the hood and the metal on the inside of the driver's side front bumper showed signs that this car had definitely been in some kind of accident. So, the very next day my husband canceled our contract.

    I was so sad, I really wanted to get the car, but I can't trust Carvana. How could they take the take to post 33 pictures of the car, and take the take to highlight and make notes about 3 slight tiny imperfections but somehow manage to totally ignore a major flaw!!! The 150 point inspection that Carvana has is a sham, we spotted this and we are not mechanics. We also found other dings on the inside frame by the back passenger door on the driver's side that were also not disclosed. So, for me, going to actually see a car in person before giving out all our financial information and having $2,500 leave my bank without ever seeing the car is a bad idea. Hopefully, we'll get our money back soon. I've lost all faith in online shopping, I know other people have had good experiences, but it just didn't work for me.

    I never write reviews, but I've had such a poor experience with this company that I felt I had to share it somewhere. I dreaded the thought of having to deal with a car dealership when buying my first car, and thought Carvana was such a promising concept. (I'm a millennial, we like efficiency!) Initially, the process was smooth. I selected my car and went through the buying process, thinking this would be a breeze. I had a delivery date set for two days after purchase (wow! crazy fast and convenient) which they advertised on the website. I signed all the contracts and was good to go. Then the next day, the day before my delivery, I got a text that my delivery would be delayed an entire week. I tried to get the delivery fee ($400) waived since there was a delay in delivery, but the customer service rep on the other end wasn't helpful at all, offered nothing for the inconvenience....annoying, but fine, whatever.

    A week goes by, and the day before my next delivery date I get a text that my delivery is AGAIN delayed another week! Again, I reach out to customer service and they refuse to waive the delivery fee for my troubles. Further, they cover title and registration, which sounds great, except I knew I would have to go in and correct it (I was buying the car in my maiden name, and needed to get everything transferred over to my married name). I tried to say "hey I don't need title and registration done for me, I'll just do it myself, can you drop those fees?" Nope. So I ended up paying double the title and registration fees for this car because Carvana wouldn't allow me to do it myself.

    In total, between the delivery fee, the title/registration fees, and fees of having to rent a car during a holiday weekend because the delivery was delayed, this purchase put a few thousand dollars down the drain that didn't need to be. For a company that prides itself on its convenience, it was an awfully inconvenient service. I ended up keeping the car because I really needed one, and the car itself I felt like was a decent deal in this economy. But I did not recommend this service to a few of my peers also shopping for a car right now - just bite the bullet and deal with a car salesman. Online or in person, all car retailers are the same - slimly and unwilling to accommodate inconvenience.

    After waiting almost 2 weeks (after I purchased car/setup date/time delivery) I was contacted literally 3 minutes before the time the car was to be delivered and told they had found out the A/C didn't work. What I don't understand is Carvana boast about their 150 point inspection so, are they totally incompetent or did they lie about the condition of the car prior to agreeing to deliver it to me? Totally absurd and unprofessional. I will now avoid this company and seek out their competition to purchase my next vehicle. I gave 1 star for their car pictures but they deserve zero as a rating!!

    This an online version of CarMax who is known to overprice its vehicles with non-negotiable prices. The car I purchased was priced 145% over its value and my bank caught this and refused to approve the amount. Instead of doing the right thing and adjusting the price to a more reasonable 125%, Carvana expected me to pay the remaining amount above what my bank would pay. Also, customer service is ridiculous because they send you an email but when you try to follow up with a call to get clarity, they take forever to answer. In fact, the person that sent the email cannot be reached so that you maintain continuity of the process. Carvana should focus on adjusting its prices to be more reasonable instead of just focusing on being an online car store. Being fairly priced is better than convenient and innovative. I would not recommend this place to anyone. AVOID if you value your money and sanity.

    The experience of buying a car with Carvana was wonderful from start to finish. I appreciated how communicative they were throughout the entire process. My car ended up getting delayed a couple of days due to a mishap in the system; however, they did everything in their power to ensure the car made it here. I started a police academy and let them know that I needed a vehicle to get to in from, and they made sure it got here as quickly as they could. I received a random package in the mail today and, upon opening it, realized it was from Carvana. They took the time to order and send over some police academy gifts and a handwritten card to thank me. I was at a loss for words. Wow, just, wow!

    Bought car in Nevada 4/21. Picked up car. Missing factory floor mats that were supposed to be included. The person handling our paperwork said they would be sent to us. A few days after picking up car I called Carvana, told them we were moving out of state. Gave them our address in Colorado and asked if they could register car there and update shipping for floor mats. They assured me the registration would be done in Colorado but couldn't be positive about mats. I spent countless hours listening to terrible hold music, just trying get someone on the phone. When that eventually happened I was promised over and over again by different CSR's they would call back. Never heard back from anyone except for one time. We received our registration finally, 7/12/21. It came registered to wrong state. No end in sight to these problems!

    To start off everything was going good. My wife took her time and picked out the car she wanted after about a week of test driving cars, we placed our order and delivery was set about 2 1/2-3 weeks away. Then a week before it was to be delivered for us to go pick it up I get a phone call telling me that the car that we had ordered had already been sold, and they just noticed it. I had been on the phone with many different people getting everything in place for that car and was told that it was our car and everything was good to go. We just had to wait to pick it up.

    So after we are told the bad news we have to try and pick a different car but couldn't find one with all the same stuff the other had so we ended up going with a completely different vehicle and get everything all done or so I'm told. I had multiple people call me to finish setting everything up over and over I did the same thing getting the payment setup for them and then I was told none of it was good or I hadn't done it yet, mind you I did all this for the first car already and everything was good and now I was getting completely different answers on everything from telling me they couldn't take my check because I didn't fill out the front for the picture but then I was told not to fill anything out on it until I picked up the car.

    They gave me a $250 credit which is okay and everything but for the giant headache that this was it felt more like a slap in the face than anything else because I kept having to take off from work every time they called because the phone calls were so long. In the end she got a car and she likes it but it sucks we had to settle on a car that doesn't have all the features she wanted like the first original car had.

    My wife and I spent considerable time researching vehicles on Carvana, that process was pretty good. Details and photos of the car were really helpful. We purchased a car and the process was very simple and way better than dealing with a dealer. The delivery of the car was excellent and the driver did a fantastic job reviewing all of the documents. We did test drive the car on a quick 5 minute ride and all seemed well.

    However that is where the good service stopped. The next day we drove the car for a longer period of time and the car started to overheat. I noticed the coolant cap was not on properly. Luckily that did fix the issue. I also discovered there are no records of an oil change within the last 20,000 miles. I went online to Carvana to try and discuss and the only option is through a chat. It directed me to file a claim with warranty and to take the car to an approved service center. In my town the approved service centers are Pep Boys and one other place called Pro Fast. I made an appointment and when I arrived they told me they don't pay attention to their website appointments and they were too busy to check my car. I will never use Pep Boys especially on a BMW.

    I went over in detail the 150 point checklist and realized this is just a preprinted form and many items don't apply. It says the car was washed, waxed and polished, It wasn't. They car exterior was really dirty and the car was driven through mud. It says it checked the spare tire, it doesn't have one. The coolant was checked, obviously not based on the car overheating because the cap was not on properly. Oil changed but it hasn't in 20,000 miles. Based on these examples I feel as though the 150 point inspection is just a selling point that is not followed as a policy.

    I've contacted Carvana through the only option of chat and the system is obviously automated. It keeps telling me to refer to my 150 point inspection. I asked to speak with a live person and the response was someone will text me within an hour. I never received a text or a call. Yes buying a car through Carvana is easy but trying to get a response to a serious issue is not. Buying through a dealer I can always go back in and get service, through Carvana this is ridiculous. I'm not happy and at this point won't go through this again.

    I bought 2 cars from Carvana recently. Multiple issues and headaches with both. To illustrate how horrible Carvana is at communicating outside of automatically created emails and texts, THEY ASKED ME TO LEAVE THIS REVIEW after contacting them no less than 6 times to express my frustration and them not responding a single time!

    Where to even begin. Trunk full of mold - promised detailing credit - then denied. That cost me $100. Promised I could title both cars in my LLC. Then told literally the day after 7 day return window that I could not. (Bait and switch.) That will cost me thousands. 1 car was a week late on deliver. Was promised a $25/day gesture. Never received of course. 1 trade-in vehicle displayed $300 higher on my email address vs my wife emails address. Literally entered same day. I was forced to take $300 less because first trade-in was still in progress due to aforementioned delay.

    Takes hours to reach somebody on the phone. And everybody has about 3 months experience w/ the company. They all make promises, then don't follow through. Then you can never reach that person again or they just say "sorry" but fix nothing. I have filed a claim with the Better Business Bureau because "communicating " with Carvana bots is time-consuming and worthless.

    Overall Experience: Not worth it in the slightest (*Please read further*). Delivery: The delivery was great. Very convenient and the representative who dropped the car off was amazing. I'm sorry I can't remember his name, but he was so helpful and informative. The Aftermath: Oh what a nightmare this vehicle has been. 1) The vehicle came with cracks and chips in the windshield, and the joint wield had been stuffed with silicone presumably to "prevent" a leak (not advertised). I spend over a month trying to find a facility that would fix the windshield because many shops will not work on glass that has been tampered with with silicone. (Thankfully, the warranty covered the costs of the windshield and professional cleaning of the joint wield.)

    2) Fast forward one week after owning (past the 7 day return)... I then found out the windshield wipers did not work in the middle of a downpour going 55 mph... 3) Took the vehicle to the shop where, $2,100 later, I found out that before the silicone was put in the corner of the windshield the water damage was so bad that the vehicle needed a new fuse box, JBE module, and windshield wiper motor... (Warranty covered these costs, but my car sat in a shop for two weeks immediately after purchasing).

    4) The vehicle also came with interior buttons that did not work (not advertised) as well as a non-functioning navigation system (not advertised). I took the vehicle to a BMW dealership to estimate the repairs for these items... & boy am I glad I did. $4,400 later I discovered that the vehicle needed the rear breaks, pads and rotors replaced. It needed both front thrust arms replaced. The vehicle had damage to the front struts and mounts and those needed to be replaced as well and then needed to be realigned. (The breaks were not covered by warranty, but the other items were.)

    Now, Carvana did write me a check for $1000 to cover the replacement of the breaks and rotors and the recommended maintenance of a coolant flush and a/c servicing which was very kind of them. However, today marks day 102 of me owning the vehicle and I just picked it back up from the shop from the final repairs. Overall, in those 102 days, my vehicle has spent at least 1/3 - 1/2 of that time in the shop. It has been such a hassle being without a vehicle and trying to coordinate with multiple different repair facilities.

    There were a few Carvana associates that were adamant about helping through this process and I am very thankful to them, but some not so much. One associate had the audacity to tell me.. "Well that's what you get when you buy a used luxury vehicle..." Um, excuse me my vehicle supposedly went through a 150 point inspection and had this many issues. No, sounds to me like someone didn't do their job well and I got sold a BIG OL' LEMON!

    Too good to be true. Just when I was telling my whole family I should be a Carvana brand rep after having the most amazing experience selling my car to them, everything fell apart. Because I had such an awesome experience I decided to go against my better judgement and buy a car from them as well. Of course, I did a ton of research and so many people had such great things to say! I purchased a car and the whole process was seamless...of course, until my mechanic checked it out.

    My mechanic called to say he found SEVERAL very concerning issues with the car and even told us it was the worst corrosion he had ever seen in his entire life. Even worse than the vintage cars he had worked on and this car was only a 2016 with a little over 12,000 miles on it. He said it looked like the car had been sitting in snow or was even submerged in water for YEARS. I would think this would surely be noticed during Carvana's 150 point inspection or whatever but they still decided to sell it, which is pretty questionable on their part. Even after this experience, I still had nothing too bad to say about Carvana, especially since the customer service I received had been phenomenal!

    I ended up finding a certified used vehicle from a dealership for much cheaper than the one on Carvana so I purchased it, only to find out that Carvana had already started processing my payment. After dealing with several phone calls and multiple hours on hold and being transferred to different people, the best answer I got was to dispute the charge with my bank. Of course, the bank can't dispute the charge until it finishes processing and basically I am out the money for 5-7 days. Now this wouldn't be a big deal if I hadn't already purchased another vehicle and needed the money for this new purchase. This would also not be a big deal if we were talking a couple thousand dollars but unfortunately we are talking over $25,000 that I am out for the next week. Not sure how a multi-billion dollar company can feel okay taking the entire savings of a hard-working student but a resolution has yet to be made.

    Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere for a car...or purchase with a cashier's check. No one told me that if I had paid with a cashier's check they would have held onto it until the end of the 7-day period and then torn it up when I decided the vehicle was crap. Crazy how they can take the money and car back so quickly, but takes them a week to get you your money back.

    Love all the options to choose from. Found exactly what I want. Living where there is snow and salted roads, was happy to find a rust free vehicle from Arizona. Shipping was a bit slow, as expected. Financing was easy, great customer service. Car was not cleaned very well, inside had used suckers and French fries under the seat. The outside came dirty. Headlight was out, some door seals were loose. Other than those I am happy. Would recommend Carvana!

    Vehicle was sold with a "150 point inspection". Had new tires, not balanced properly, and front brakes were down to the metal. Unknown what other flaws existed. 100-day warranty doesn't cover brakes because they are a "wear item".

    At first I was disappointed because they didn’t have my car at the pick up spot on the day it was supposed to be there, so I had to be stern to be able to get a car cause I traveled 13 hrs one way to pick it up. But thanks to the Advocate Ronnie, underwriter and the lot manager they all worked hard to get me a car by the next day, they did a terrific job and I drove off with a 2015 Kia Soul.. With the hiccup of waiting for them to get me a car it was worth it. I love my vehicle and they worked their magic..

    My purchase was a 2017 Ford Escape w/ 24500. Initially my experience with Carvana went good. Delivery was delayed by 4 days because they said when they were preparing the car for transport and the check engine light came on so they were to check that out. They said that when checked nothing was found and that the check engine light frequently come on when they prep the cars because they may have been sitting for a while or had the battery disconnected.

    The delivery process was very convenient and the car was in better shape than I expected. I got past the 7 day return time feeling confident I purchased a good car. On the 10th day the check engine light (CEL) came on flashing at start-up and the engine idled rough, I shut it down and waited a minute, turned back on and everything was fine.

    Concerned I stopped by a auto parts store to see if I had a code stored that may tell me why it came but no code was stored in the car's computer. Tech said it was likely a misfire. I also noticed at this time the coolant level was so I added some the next morning. 1 week later the CEL came on again and stayed on. Stopped at auto store and the code reader said I had misfires and a coolant pump efficiency. So I contacted a preferred mechanic under the Carvana warranty and they came out and confirmed the codes, cleared them and advised me to watch the coolant level. 6 days later the CEL came on again so I had another tech come out and this one was very detailed. Same codes showed up and he ran several test and concluded it needed to go to Ford for a more extensive diagnostic and explained that Ford had a service bulletin out concerning what I was dealing with.

    Got it to Ford and they concluded that the vehicle has a "Coolant Introduction" and that I will need a NEW ENGINE. This will take 3 weeks for the parts to come in and another week for the actual repair. Carvana claims they have ASE certified mechanics check over each car. I am extremely doubtful they do. The more I search about the specific problem the more I come to believe that Carvana does not do research on potential problems in cars they sell.

    Fortunately the Ford powertrain warranty is in effect and Ford is replacing the engine at no cost to me. But I will have to rent a car for those 4 weeks and the 100 day warranty from Carvana/SilverRock will only cover $40.00 per day and only for the day that it takes to do the work but not the 3 weeks it will take to get the parts. If they cover the rental car clause at all. If I can get ahold of a human at Carvana I will follow this up with what they say.

    I was a little skeptical at first to shop online for a vehicle, but after using Carvana, I am convinced it is the best and easy way. Why walk around in the heat going from car lot to car lot just to find out that the vehicle you were looking at on their website is sold. With Carvana you have an abundance of vehicles to choose from and you can get financing immediately from the website. We found our perfect vehicle with no haggling. Our truck was completely inspected, it looks like new and drives like a new truck. We are completely satisfied with our purchase. Kudos to the creators of Carvana.

    I sold my car to Carvana and purchased a new one simultaneously. Using the website to select a car was as simple as possible! The trade-in went seamlessly, and I had an enjoyable time with Nick as he walked me through my new vehicle (which feels strange to say as my experience with car dealership salesmen have been anything but enjoyable). The new car is wonderful!

    My constructive criticism is: I wish there had been more clear communication regarding what steps to take to pay off my old car, get the trade in amount from Carvana, etc. I asked Nick and then called into the Carvana offices to clarify, whereas I felt this information could have been easily relayed online. Additionally, the same could be said regarding the claim I had to file due to damage done to my new car during transportation. Figuring out the rental car process was not intuitive, and while I was told that that information could be found in my warranty contract, I feel it would have been much easier to locate if it had been built into the claim filing steps. Overall, my experience has been great. Nick did a wonderful job assisting me. I will be purchasing my future vehicles from Carvana!

    Wow! Carvana has really changed the car buying game. I saw several commercials about Carvana and thought I would give them a try. I was skeptical but I am so glad I made this choice. Their mobile app makes the process super easy. They provide lots of pictures with each car. The pictures are very detailed with all the features of the car, down to any blemishes the car may have. It is also comforting to know that each car has 150-point inspection, a Carfax report and a 7 Day Money Back Guarantee. They also offer financing options that are available right through the app. You can see what you are approved for and what car fits your budget which was a big plus for me.

    After providing my availability they scheduled my free delivery for my vehicle. The Carvana representative showed up on time and even gave me a courtesy call before to let me know they were on the way. They unloaded my car and went through some light paperwork. I was even able to give it a test drive before they left.

    After driving it for a few days I knew the car was not a good fit for me and I found a replacement car that I wanted to try instead. I called Carvana and they swapped it for me with no questions asked. It was so simple. I got rescheduled and in about a week I have a second car to try out. The second vehicle was the right match for me, but they still gave another 7 days just to be sure.

    Carvana gave me a great opportunity to purchase a vehicle and I am so glad I went with them. I give Carvana 10/10! I had no issues. This was truly the best experience I have had buying a car. It was so nice not having the pressure of a dealership, then to spend over 5 hours filling out paperwork. I will always recommend Carvana to my family and coworkers. Thank you Carvana!

Then I moved on to the chat option, asked if the agent has the Carvana app installed on the phone, the agent replied with a no, after waiting for more than an hour a different agent told me that nobody in the team has access to the phone and it would have saved more than an hour of my time if the first agent told me the same.

    Again I moved back to the phone call option and asked the same question if the agent has an app or not, the agent said no again, I asked the agent to put me back on the waitlist so that I can find an agent who has an app, this agent kept wasting my time and ended the call saying that I was not being professional and not how exactly wasting my time is professional when the agent does not have what I am looking for.

    Used Carvana to avoid any sort of dealership sales and using my time going back and forth for a used vehicle. Found a vehicle on Carvana and proceeded with the process of buying. Receptive on the phone, no issues as far as communication. A lot of phone time required, which I don't mind however it can get a bit cumbersome dealing with a bank and getting everything sorted. Once everything was sorted, delivery of vehicle took 3 weeks, which to me is no big deal at all.

    Morning of delivery, driver mentions that the trunk does not function properly and that their detailing team is unable to clean residue off windshields, he asks if I still want to proceed with purchase. I figure that there is lots of items in motion for this vehicle purchase and reply that yes I do. Vehicle delivered, upon arrival driver admits that his team did not detail vehicle to his standard, which is clear when seeing dirt and grime still in wheels, cleaning of windows and windshield not even attempted to make presentable. Ok fine, no big deal. He offers a $100 voucher to get it detailed, which won't cover a full detail but whatever I continue with purchase.

    The trunk will not stay open and he says Carvana will work with their warranty company, Silver Rock to cover costs of repairs. The exception for repair was sent in, called several "preferred" car shops who flat out told me they prefer to not do repairs dealing with SilverRock. A lot of back and forth with shops, SIlverROck and Carvana for nothing really. I had enough and ordered parts myself and will install myself at my own costs.

    The vehicle is great but as far as using Carvana in the future I most likely will not. A checklist of a 150 point inspection was also provided, no mention of the broken trunk or very loud harmonics on the brakes, another item I will pay for and get fixed, I will not waste any more time on the phone with shops dealing with SilverRock or Carvana. At this point all I am waiting for is necessary registration and title info and hopefully be done with Carvana. A very long, drawn out process better done in one day at a dealership in person reviewing a car in person knowing exactly what you're getting. Customer service helpful on phone, just too much hassle at this point.

    Carvana keeps true to its advertisements as a simple and convenient way to buy a car. The process was easy and transparent, less some understandable situational complications. The documentation for third-party financing and titling was tricky at times (partially due to my own circumstances), and I had to take the lead on getting the ball rolling there (which was a bit of a hassle), but once I got things moving, Carvana took it and ran with it. The service is excellent. The phone line employees are very helpful.

    The delivery driver was great and offered solutions on the spot when I had minor issues with the vehicle’s detailing. Some of the vehicle’s cosmetic defects weren’t disclosed, but it’s unknown if those occurred in-transit or not, but the defects were covered under the 7-day warranty. It’s a bit of a hassle to go get estimates and repairs under the warranty, so they should consider an option for discounts instead of having to go get it fixed, but I have no major complaints. Some things weren’t delivered as they should’ve been: the passenger-side tire stem caps were missing and the front license plate bracket (which is required in my state) was missing despite having discussed the bracket being installed with one of Carvana’s representatives.

    After we decided to sell our sailboat in Ft. Lauderdale, FL, we decided to try Carvana since we were carless and couldn't easily visit dealerships. What a mistake. We should have Ubered to a dealership to buy and we would have spared ourselves the agony of this ordeal. Car was delivered on May 15. To date, we still have no plates, registration or title to the vehicle for which we paid for with cash in full. So technically, two months later we don't actually own our car!

    We've been asked to sign and notarize numerous documents to have it registered in Texas after documents were sent twice to the wrong address. Then we get messages from Carvana that documents are missing. And the reps say to "ignore the messages about missing documents". We believe they've not even sent the documents yet to Texas to start the DMV process!

    We've spent upwards of 50 hours on the phone with them but have had nothing but apologies and corporate speak about "getting to the bottom of it" or "getting us to success" and they're going to "reach out" and figure out what is going. The contacts there do not have extensions and are told to NOT give out their email addresses so every time you call you are on hold 30 minutes and you start all over with people who apologize and say the plastic corporate speak phrases. The company has proven to be completely dysfunctional in the registration process. No doubt their response to this complaint is going to be how sorry they are and to please call us to resolve the matter but believe me we have called and called daily.

    The process started off good. I found a great deal for a car, they gave me a great offer on my vehicle for a trade in. All the paperwork was easy, but a few days later I go in to look at my account. When I looked at my account it said my documents were not signed. I looked at the documents, the pricing had changed. It lowered my vehicle offer. When I was able to get ahold of someone we got it all figured out and they were willing to work with me. The day came when I was supposed to get my delivery, I got a call a few hours beforehand saying the vehicle was damaged during delivery. They had to keep the vehicle 2 more weeks to order a part/ fix the damage. 2 weeks pass and it’s the day before delivery, I get a call saying the part has not shown up and it will be about 2 more weeks.

    A month now has passed, it’s day of delivery when I get a call saying it’s going to be a few more days. I finally got my car a little over a month later. The pick up/ drop off was easy. I love the car, it was an amazing deal. They said they would call at the end of the seven days to make sure everything was good and I wanted to go through with buying the car, but they never called. If you really don’t want to keep the vehicle make sure you call them before the seven days is up. I felt the communication wasn’t really there. They always called the day of delivery saying it was going to be delayed. I had to take off work a few different times, change my insurance back multiple times, and resign the documents multiple times.

    Let’s start with the purchase process. The only thing easy here is that you have the ability to scan numerous vehicles from the comfort of your home. This is where the positive experience ends. Using the app to complete financing and submit documents was both tedious and repetitive. I had to sign multiple contracts because they kept disappearing from the system. I had to submit multiple proofs of insurance because their team did not like the format my insurance company used.

    So all this takes way longer than it should and they keep putting this little timer up there that will put the car back in inventory if you can’t get all the documents together in time. In my case this fell over a weekend where I could not get the required documentation until business hours on Monday morning. So that was a first strike. Not too big a deal but I let it go. This whole process caused the first delivery window to be missed so then we got pushed out to the next week. Moving on.

    Delivery day was ok. Got the car with no major issues. Keep in mind this isn’t really a positive because they are just doing what they are supposed to, nothing more nothing less. I get the car and it is relatively clean. But after reading tons of horror stories on Reddit, I already had an inspection scheduled at the dealership. Took the car to the appointment same day and got an official estimate for repair. $2300 job. Problems included bad water pump, oil pan, and the main bearing seal/ rear main seal all leaking and needed replacement. The parts are relatively cheap but it is a labor intensive process. In addition when the car was up on the lift there was significant rust damage all on the frame. Ok could be worse. I went home and notified Carvana of the issues. This is where it starts to get dumb.

    First Carvana says they don’t have anything to do with authorizing repairs…even if they were missed and signed off on by their inspections team. They refer me to silverrock. Mind you this is still delivery day. I call silverrock and ask them who I submit the inspection and estimate report to. They said they wouldn’t accept the report unless the dealership called it in. Well that was inconvenient but I thought whatever. It was after cob at this point so I said, "Ok I’ll drop by there tomorrow" and have them submit everything just how they want it. Besides I had another inspection scheduled for the morning to get an estimate on the rust damage.

    Day 2: go to the dealership first thing in the morning and they say, "Ok no problem. We will get it done." After being on hold for 45 minutes the guy gives up and leaves a message for silverrock to call the dealership back to file a claim. They never call back. At the same time, the body shop diagnoses and writes an estimate for the rust repair. At the same time they discover Carvana has oversprayed black paint onto all of the windows and the tops of both taillights. I thought it was oxidation and dirt but no. This stuff has to be buffed out and polished to avoid damaging the paint and other surfaces where the touch up was just plain half assed. Annoying yeah but still not a big deal.

    Ok so I’m at the body shop and I call silverrock who then informs me they have nothing to do with cosmetic repairs and they all must be preauthorized or granted an exception from Carvana. Ok this has all taken until after lunch so I go home and begin the process of trying to figure out how to get Carvana to authorize the rust and paint repair.
    I call Carvana and surprisingly they immediately authorize the overspray repair and but waffle on the rust. After lots of back and forth taking up the rest of the day they finally say ok if silverrock determines the rust is embedded then they will fix it. What? I thought Carvana had to pre authorize all body work. Back to silverrock.

    Get them on the phone and ask them what I have to do to get the authorized paint fixed and have them look at the rust. "Oh we are sorry sir that’s a separate department. You’ll have to have the body shop submit an estimate by email and then it will be reviewed and we will let you know." Ok but Carvana already gave me an exception on the paint. Silverrock says no go. They still can’t process a claim without this thing being emailed. So day 2 and nothing is resolved.

    Day 3: basically a lot of back and forth between silverrock and Carvana trying to figure out why either claim hasn’t been processed yet. Lots of b.s. excuses and sweet talk. Nothing else happens.

    Day 4: finally I decide ** these guys and I go the dealership. Call silver rock myself and wait on hold for 45 mins and then when I get the actual claims person on the phone I hand off the the service desk at the dealership. They get all the information and then surprise surprise they do not authorize the repair. They want to send an independent inspector to see if the repairs are really necessary. They make an appointment with the dealership for Monday at 8AM. My 7 day trial period ends on Sunday. And I have to leave the car at the dealership. I call Carvana and they sweet talk and say no problem they are going to extend the trial period. I foolishly thought these people really want to help me. So I leave the car and walk back to the body shop.

    They’ve received no response on their claim either. So I do the same thing. Call silverrock myself and wait for 30+ minutes. Get the claims person on the phone and hand off to the service desk at the body shop. "Oh yeah we will get right on this blah blah blah. Oh yeah I see the estimate has been submitted twice. Oh we are sorry about that." More **. So I think ok at least everything is being handled now. If you want something done do it yourself. I pat myself on the back and go about my business. So I have no car for 4 days. Monday morning comes and goes.

    The damn silverrock inspector never showed up. I call silverrock and their office is closed. I get it. It’s a holiday observed on a Monday. But damn why would they make an appointment with the dealership and then not reschedule if they realized their office was closing that day. At this point it’s the end of the day Monday. I have to pick up my vehicle. It can’t stay there 5 nights with no word from the warranty place. It’s not a storage lot. I take the car home and call silverrock first thing in the morning. I say hey this is what happened, what is going on and when is the guy scheduled to come back. Their answer is, "We don’t know." They are third party inspectors. I say, "Ok well can I contact them to try and sort it out myself." "No we can’t give that information."

    I get escalated to a manager. This guy was an even bigger **. Claims he is top of the food chain at silverrock. Can’t and won’t give any guaranteed inspection date or time. Will not give name so I can file a consumer complaint. Refuses to escalate to higher. I ask for an exception to have the work authorized as well. Won’t do it based on cost. These are covered parts and I’m in my extended trial period. So basically they won’t even commit to the repair and I’m out of trial days.

    I call Carvana and they try and kiss my ** and extend the trial out until Thursday and promise to get silver rock on board. I get a text from silver rock later that afternoon that says they need 3 business days to get an inspector. Ok not good enough. They already flaked out the first time. Secondly Carvana only extended my trial for 2 more business days. Do you see the pattern here?

    So I give it the rest of the day and then after a lot of thought I called Carvana and said I was done getting jerked around by silverrock and that I wanted Carvana to step in and handle it or they needed to come get the car. I literally was on and off hold for over an hour while they were speaking to management supposedly. In the end they would not authorize the repairs and override silverrock. These idiots were going to walk away from a $40000 sale because they refuse to authorize repairs on stuff that’s all listed as checked and good on their own inspection. They also failed to disclose all the cosmetic damage to include the rust and overspray.

    Ok screw it. "Y’all can have the car back," I say. The lady is all apologetic and says she has the pickup scheduled and don’t hesitate to contact them if I change my mind before pickup. I say there is literally no chance of that and explicitly state do not extend my trial period again. I tell them they’ve had ample time to fix this problem and I’m done. There was no room for interpretation there.

    Day 10: I wake up this morning expecting to see an email or some kind of confirmation about my return. Lo and behold there is absolutely nothing and my trial period has been extended by 5 more days. To say I was pissed off is the most extreme understatement I can imagine. Now I have to spend yet another hour on the phone with Carvana. They can offer no explanation as to why this was done. Bear in mind I now get the unhappy pleasure of canceling a new insurance for policy and trying to reestablish insurance on my old car. What a pain in the ass. I’m still not convinced these people will actually show up and take the car back. Supposedly the rep was sending an email with all the return information verified immediately after the call. It’s been an hour and half and no email has arrived.

    Next on my agenda today is making BBB complaints on both Carvana and Silverrock. It’s probably the most unprofessional experience I’ve ever had on a major purchase…buyer beware is all I can say. Believe the overwhelming number of negative reviews. Some are probably consumer error but the statistics don’t lie. There are a lot of valid experiences in there as well, from responsible adults such as myself. Good luck.

    First time purchasing from Carvana. The process was very easy and much less stressful than a high pressure salesman who keeps you tied up all day playing games. I selected my vehicle and went through my credit union. Only issue was understanding steps to complete purchase going this route. One phone call took care of everything and we were closed in a few days. My Lexus was received on time and exactly as described. I took it in for a check by dealership which showed it was a fantastic purchase. Only thing they found was it was out of line. I called Silverrock and they allowed Lexus to fix it. I’m very pleased with the entire experience and would definitely purchase again.

    I just had a visit from a lady representing Carvana. She was to come and look at my car that I planned on selling. I stepped out of my house to let them know they had the correct place then returned for a jacket (it was raining). I saw her get out of the car, she rolled her eyes, dropped her tablet. She said hello, THEN proceeded to rant about a car that was in back of the car that was being sold. I told her that when a truck was to come to pick up the car it would be readily available. Over again she demanded what I should do with MY car. I told her a number of times that when a truck would be at my home to pick the car up it would be available.

    She acted like she didn't hear me because I had to repeat myself a half dozen times, which at this point I raised my voice to make sure she heard what I said. She asked why I yelled. Because she hadn't heard me the first 5 times. She then called her manager who told her to leave and the "I" would have to reschedule at a later date. I've made an appointment with the local Kia dealer (the car being sold is a Kia) to sell it to them.

    Carvana has some major customer service issues to work out. Enjoyed the purchase process, test drive and the vehicle is great. The problem starts with the registration. We finalized our purchase on Jan 30th 2021. I'm writing this on July 7 2021 after countless calls to Carvana customer service and being told over and over by different reps that it was being taken care of. I still do not have a license plate or registration. They continue to send temporary tags but this is a major inconvenience because we need registration to get gate passes for our neighborhood. This has nothing to do with COVID delays, this is just mismanagement of the process and not having proper customer service processes set up to ensure situations like this don't keep falling through the cracks with no one owning the resolution for the customer. Great concept and would use them again if it weren't for the registration experience.

    I will tell you I have never had such an easy experience buying a vehicle. I would buy again through Carvana. One downside is - you may or may not get your vehicle on the date it is to be "delivered". Unfortunately, mine took a week longer to get to me. I don't know the circumstances but I waited patiently. That brought my experience down a notch but I get there are delivery issues. That being said, I still recommend Carvana.

    Updated on 07/26/2021: At the beginning of July I'd posted a review of Carvana stating how horrible they were based on the three delivery cancellations and lack of information about the car with only three minor defects. Since then, nothing has improved, they have cancelled three more delivery dates. The good news is, the car I ordered on 6/9 finally arrived on 7/26. Turns out, part of the delay was due to the fact they had sent the 2013 Mercedes SLK to Maaco for some unspecified reason. If you know anything about Maaco, you should be appalled by that decision.

    So the car showed up this morning, right on time, finally. I was told all along that it was at Maaco so it would be perfect before getting here. Apparently Carvana and I have a different definition of perfect. On the website, they made note of three imperfections, somehow they missed a few others. There's a 3" scratch below the passenger side door handle, the entire driver's side has been repainted so poorly, it felt like sandpaper, there's a dime sized paint bubble on the roof above passenger door, heavily discolored headlights, scratches on the rear bumper, trim around the trunk opening loose and finally, the check engine light came on during our 1/2 mile test drive. And those are only the initial things we found that differed from what was presented on the Carvana site. Looks like their techs missed a few things during their 150 point check.

    I couldn't be more disappointed after waiting seven weeks. Used car dealers have always had a bad reputation and this experience just reinforces that perception. What a pile of crap, we sent the car back. I will never attempt to buy another car from Carvana, the used car dealer of used car dealers. On the bright side, their customer service people and the delivery driver have all been very pleasant to deal with. Buyer beware.

    Original Review: I bought a convertible from Carvana on 6/17/21 and they gave me a delivery date of 6/21/21. Ok, not bad, can hardly wait for my perfect, except for one chip, car to show up at 10:30 AM on 6/21. At 8:30 AM, I get a message that due to logistics, the car is delayed and won't be delivered until 6/24. That didn't make me too happy but I understand things don't always work out as planned. On 6/24 I get a notice it's delayed yet again, now until 6/30. The agent lets it slip that the car, that only showed one chip on their site, is now at a Maaco Body Shop for some undisclosed reason but it will be delivered on 7/7. Well, it's 7/7 and Carvana has informed me the car is still at the body shop and someone will call with an updated shipping date (LOL).

    What no one has explained is why it is at a body shop and what they plan to do about the price of vehicle that has now been in a body shop for three weeks. With this kind of service, I can't help but wonder how long they will remain in business. Horrible service. But on the bright side, the few people I have spoken with have been very polite.

    So first of all it took almost 4 weeks to get a vehicle. We had to switch the insurance three times because the first time Carvana drove our vehicle out, they wouldn't leave it because of our trade in (and a down payment was not even needed so the trade in was just an extra payment) that in itself was traumatizing. We were then told that it could not be delivered again for another 4 days! The vehicle was 4 minutes away from our house, but we weren't allowed to pick it up. This was over memorial day weekend, so that is the first time Carvana ruined our vacation.

    Here it is 4th of July weekend and I am now on vacation for 2 weeks and guess where I get to go? Nowhere!! Why? Because Carvana sold me a car with a bad transmission so I had to cancel my vacation to Myrtle Beach because my car won't make it and it has to go to the shop! But you call Carvana before the 7 days is up, they tell you to take it to the shop. Don't fall into their little game like I did. If you take it to the shop you are STUCK with that vehicle because it is then over the 7 days. Their 7 day return policy is GARBAGE and a total lie and a plot to make it sound as if they're better than they are. They will tell you to take the vehicle in which will put you over your 7 days and won't give two ** whether or not the vehicle is messed up or not. DO NOT PURCHASE from Carvana. They have an excuse for everything. Who is going to pay for my car rental? "Call SilverRock." The transmission is bad, "Call SilverRock."

Their business model is all online, which has its plus - till you end up in my situation. There is no one person who is handling my case, I call the customer support number (8445073599) every week and every time this is a new person, there is no case # been allocated, every time I explain my problem, they acknowledge the issue (thankfully) and say it's under processing.

    The purchasing experience was great. Quick and simple. The pickup process was great also. Unfortunately I wanted the car to be delivered, not picked up, because the vending machine is close to two hours from our house. One day before our scheduled delivery date I received a text saying it was still on schedule and giving me final instructions. On the day of delivery, about 7 hours before the delivery time I received an email saying delivery was delayed 8 days. Which wasn't going to work, because we would be out of town. When I called customer service they said the car was delayed due to a staffing issue (someone called in sick). Which I understand. However, they also said the car was arriving at the depot that day. The car was about 90 minutes from home, and they could not tell me why I would have to wait 8 more days for delivery. I could understand a day delay, but not 8.

    In effort to get the car before my vacation, I offered to pick it up. The soonest I could pick it up was 5 days after the original delivery date, and an almost 2 hour drive from my house to the vending machine. I reluctantly agreed. They also checked my credit a second time when I switched from Delivery to Pickup and had to sign a new contract. This resulted in a slight increase in monthly payment and a second hard pull on my Credit Report. The first hard pull may be the reason why they slightly increased my APR. If the car would have been delivered as promised, or even with a slight delay, this would have been a 5 star review.

    Bought 2019 Lexus RX350. Received email after bank closed that due to price, I needed to use a bank check, direct withdrawal, or wire funds. Before bank opened next day received email saying I missed my deadline for a decision and my order and delivery was cancelled. I called, resolved, wired funds and had a new delivery date. This was postponed a day due to “logistics”. Car was delivered with serious corrosion on all four wheel hubs which was not shown or noted in description. Was told it would definitely be addressed. I accepted the car and went to the repair facility they recommended. They could not refinish the hubs. SilverRock, their warranty agency could not locate anyone to refinish the hubs and said that they don’t replace them. That I may need to travel several hours to obtain the service. And yet, they didn’t have any facility to refer me to, so between a rock and a hard place.

    I wish I could add a picture of the wheel rims so you could see why I was so stunned they would deliver a car with such an obvious problem that was not identified on the description. I returned the car writhing the 7 day period allowed. Was told my refund would be delivered the same way it was sent, a wire transfer. A week later, two days before the July 4th weekend, I received a check via FedEx. The funds are still on hold by the bank until the check clears. In the meantime, I need another car. Final analysis, they can be great if everything goes perfectly. If it doesn’t, be prepared for many frustrating discussions with very nice, but completely incompetent people. I went to a dealer and bought a new Lexus. Carvana results in too much brain damage.

Five hours before the scheduled delivery time, Carvana notified me that my delivery would be delayed and that the earliest new delivery date was in 6 weeks. I spent hours on hold and talking to customer service agents. One promised to call me back and never did.

    The second couldn't find any notes of my original conversation or provide any assistance. The only thing they could offer was to have someone call me back in 48 hours with an explanation for why the car couldn't be delivered for another 6 weeks.

    Carvana doesn't really show pictures of the car, just its imperfections. So in a sense you are buying blindly. The car I purchased has more imperfections than carvana had listed. It was also in an accident (new bumper and painted over scratches made that apparent) but because it wasn't on CARFAX, carvana listed that it hadn't been in an accident. Although carvana is paying to fix the imperfections, I have to take time off from work in order to get it done and they refuse to compensate for all the things wrong that they never listed even though the car supposedly had a 150 point inspection.

Well another week and I get another email delivery delayed! I called again and they said more issues and RUST! She said RUST! Something shady is going on so I cancelled! What they did was get the car in, wash it and put it for sale WITHOUT inspecting it! They inspected it the day before the first delivery and then found all of these problems.

    I bought a 2014 Jaguar F-TYPE convertible and was so excited to get my dream car! I took it to one of their preferred repair locations to get it checked out during the 7 day return period and they told me that I needed to take it to a Jaguar repair shop. They were not able to look at the car until after the 7 days waiting period! So...first the tow truck driver the delivered it, dragged the front end of the car and damaged it! Then it was taken to Maaco to get repaired! Now back to the Jaguar repair shop! The car needed 3700.00 in repair work!

    There was also some patch work done on the car which had to be repaired! Which Carvana paid for after the adjuster took forever to go look at it. Then the car had some kind of adhesive all over the inside, the steering wheel, all of the buttons, and part of the dashboard. Also the shop that did an oil change on the car before it was delivered put the wrong oil in the car and overfill it and almost blew up the engine! My car was in the shop for over two months and it is in the shop again. They basically sold me a lemon!

    Thanks for your vote!
