    Shop somewhere else!!! Where do I begin… First off the shopping experience was great, pick your car, have it delivered! That’s where the good stops!!! After Carvana has your money the customer service is terrible!!! Going on 2 months and I still don’t have plates for our Car. After the delivery of our car the delivery driver said that’s it. Everything is good and they would not need any other documents. I thought, "Wow that’s awesome. This is the easiest car purchase we have made (and we buy a new car every other year)." Boy was I wrong!!!

    After the 7 day trial period we started to receive nasty email saying that the documents were wrong and that we had to redo them! Ok easy right? Not so much. After having to get the documents signed and notarized received another email and text saying that they were signed in the wrong spots when we signed them in the spots that they had marked. So back to the the notary we go! Sent again by FedEx. All good right? Nope not even close. Now we have to go get a VIN inspection at the MVD that was never mentioned in any of the other emails or by the delivery driver. Ok I get that done and they have a place to upload docs on their website. I select the vin inspection to upload the picture from my phone that I took. Thought ok this has to be it (I even called to make sure it was received and I was assured that they had all required paperwork).

    The very next day I get another email saying that they can not Processing my documents because they have to have a hard copy. They why do you have the option on your website???? Just sent the paper via Fed ex so this is the fourth time I have had to send documents to this worthless company! After talking to probably every employee that works for Carvana finally came across a young lady that cares, she was awesome and she either need to be promoted or needs to work for another company because Carvana does not deserve her. I have nothing good to say about this company!!!! Take your business elsewhere and I can assure you that if this would have happened in the 7 day window we would not have this car!!!!

    Thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention. Carvana’s goal is to create a stress-free car buying experience, and it looks like we missed the mark. We are working very closely with our third-party vendors to process our customers’ registration. Every state has different policies and procedures we must adhere to. Sadly, Covid-19 has slowed down our process considerably. We sincerely appreciate your feedback and patience as we work diligently in completing your registration.

As this can be painful to read, we are always looking for ways to improve.

    Updated on 09/25/2021: If I can give this a zero I would. After providing a negative review of my BMW X5 purchase (as noted below) and the poor customer service experience, one would think that the company would just make it right or continue to improve. Unfortunately it has resorted to retaliation in order to make a different point...If you leave negative reviews and refuse to do business with us, we will make it more difficult for you.

    My already purchased vehicle, bought through Carvana's credit/financing, was returned within the 7 day window. I was already approved for credit and the purchase/financing was already complete. 3 weeks later I receive a "denial of credit" for my original application - after I returned the vehicle!! With a credit score of over 750....So either they're incompetent at managing their affairs or they're retaliatory...Either one should warn potential buyers to stay away from Carvana. They have not returned my calls or answered my questions in the chat window.

    Original Review: I purchased a 2013 BMW X5 based upon price, condition and description. I bought with confidence based on inspection results. Delivered on time. Body was in great shape except for minor scratches and chips. Returned it 2 days later - no questions asked. The reason I returned: Interior was filthy with smoke stains and cigar smell (no mention that the car was indeed a smoker's car) that requires filter changes and serious vent cleaning. I could have lived with that after a great detailing but that's where it began.

    After driving the car for a few miles, the wheel started to shimmy at above 50 mph, engine vibrating loudly. It either needed a wheel alignment or had other structural damage (the CARFAX was clean and if anyone drove the car before selling they would know there was an issue with the steering wheel). There was no mention on the listing. Then I happened to notice that the tires were new (which is great), but of the wrong size for the rear (which have larger tires on the X5). This was not noted in the listing either.

    I also noticed that the BMW emblem on the steering wheel was crushed...which after all the other issues had me thinking (although cannot be proved) that this was due to an airbag deployment, a reinstallation or maybe the previous owner was not only a slob, but an aggressive one. Poor inspection process, no attention to detail, but the staff were friendly, helpful and delivery process was great...but I wasn't too thrilled to see the car for resale literally within two days of my return. I doubt those items were addressed and someone else may be a sucker for this car.

    The worst customer service I have ever had. I really wish the President or CEO would reach out to me. 07/14 Contract ** Bryant ** Decided to purchase a 2021 Canyon Crew Cab Truck. 0723 the truck was to be delivered. We were notified with pictures that the truck was damaged in transport. The hood needed a new replacement. 08/06 responded that the truck would be delivered on 08/07. 08/06 We insured the truck under our carrier. 08/07 The truck was delivered with damages that was recognized by the drivers for Carvana, along with additional scratches in the front, side, top and the hood was not new. It had holes in it. We took pictures and sent to Ms. Tyisha ** via email.

    08/07 Tyechia informed me to take it to an authorized dealer of Silver Rock to have the damages fixed. 08/09 the truck was taken to North Texas Collision in Arlington Texas. 08/13 - 08/15 North Collision called us and Carvana daily stating Silver Rock has not approved for the truck to be worked on. 08/20 We had to go and pick the truck up again. North Texas Collision would not fix due to Silver Rock denying the claim. 08/23 Jasmine from Executive Experience told me to rely on her. She would help me through all the steps. Truck was put back in the shop for repairs. 08/27 North Texas Collision had us to pick up the truck because Silver Rock denied the exception to fix. 08/30 Jasmine requested and stated all was taken care of. She would make sure Silver Rock approved. We put the truck back into North Texas Collision.

    09/03 Got a call to pick the truck up again, the exception from Silver Rock was not approved. I was standing at the location when the administrator call to prove the truck was not approved. 09/07 Put Back in shop. 09/09 We were informed to pick up the truck final last time. They do not want to deal with Carvana and Silver Rock, again was not approved to be fixed. 09/09 I called Jasmine, not helpful. She hung up on me when I asked her to call someone to get the truck and take to another facility to have it fixed. This was at 9:45 am it is 1:26 pm. 09/09 Put on hold twice 1 hour 26 minutes. Was told by Chavema that I would have to wait 24-48 hours to get a call back from a Supervisor. 09/09 Called again to speak to a Supervisor. No Help. Was told just go get the truck.

    Bad customer Service. They do not care about people. We have no transportation, we made a truck note on 09/09/2021 along with insurance payment on 09/01 for the Truck. We have no transportation and very frustrated. I want to speak with the CEO. I am a Sr HR Manager with a major retail company, I cannot believe the service. My company would never treat their customer in this manner. We have missed out on work, business revenue and our time due to not having the truck. Please MR. CEO/President call me at **. I am in Dallas Texas area. 09/09 Jacqueline decided she takes ownership.1:45 pm still not one phone call of escalation.

    I want to start out by saying that I love the car and am very happy with the purchase and the price for my trade in. With that said I think Carvana needs to work on organization of the paperwork details and prepping the car for delivery. I felt as though I was filling out a lot of paperwork and when I thought I was finished there was something else to fill out.

    I signed (docusign) the contract 3 times before it was finally accepted. When the car was to be delivered I was, of course, excited to get it, but I received an email stating that it was postponed. In reality, it was OK and I received a call that it was coming. When it finally came the car had 4 stickers on it from California for the HOV lane. Carvana would pay to have them removed, but that meant a trip to a body shop. Fortunately, I was able to heat them with a blow dryer and remove the sticker and then with Goo Gone I was able to remove the glue behind the stickers.

    No damage to the car but a good amount of time spent on that. More importantly, is the fact that the SD card which controls the Navigation, voice command, radio presets, and other related items was missing. Again, Carvana through their warranty insurance company Silverrock paid for the card and the installation. This caused a trip to my nearest Nissan Dealer (30 miles away) to have all this done. Now everything works perfectly. It does bother me that these two items were not checked for and taken care of before delivery. How can the car pass the 150 point inspection with these items as they were?

    Carvana was very apologetic and did try to take care of these things quickly but I feel they should not have been a problem to begin with. I hope Carvana gets these issues worked out as they do have a great inventory of vehicles. I could not find a LEAF anywhere near my home and Carvana had just what I wanted. After all that I would use Carvana again to find a car that is not locally available.

Few small issues I didn’t love: Delivery was late due to “charging” the car but when it arrived it wasn’t charged, there was an open recall they didn’t fix, driver side floor mat has a hole in it which was not disclosed, car was not cleaned well (there were still some scuffs I could wipe off with my hand on the inside and it was covered with water spots).

    I purchased a car from Carvana on 8/30/21 with a delivery date of 9/3/21. I signed the contract and submitted all the required paper work. I also called my insurance and added the vehicle to my plan. I received a text, not a call or email, on 9/2/21 saying my appointment has been rescheduled to 9/5/21 no reason given. I then had to call my insurance and remove the car and I missed a day of work because I asked for the day of delivery off. So once again I signed the contract and added the car to my insurance the day before my new appointment. I asked my boss if I can leave early on 9/5/21 because I had an appointment and I was home on time. 30 minutes after my appointment I hadn’t heard anything from Carvana, no big deal it’s not that late. After an hour and a half of no news after my appointment time I decided to call them. The representative was super nice and calmed my nerves so kudos to him.

    It took him quite a bit of time to even locate where my car was and turns out it wasn’t even in my city. Also they had rescheduled my appointment once again only this time with no notice. New appointment 9/10/21. Once again I had missed work and had to call my insurance again to have the car removed again! Today 9/8/21 I get a text saying that my appointment has been rescheduled for the fourth time from 9/10/21 to 9/9/21 so I called them and canceled my purchase. Do not recommend this company to anyone. The only plus out of this is the representative that helped me cancel my order, Adam, was really understanding and apologetic but this whole experience was a nightmare. Beware! Ps: I’m not using my legal name to post this review just in case they try and say they have no record of my purchase. That’s the reason lol.

    On the day of my delivery - I got a call from the driver and told that he needed to stop and get a VIN verification done before he could deliver the car. Not a big deal - so I thought. Now - almost a month after delivery - I'm told that I have to go and get a VIN verification before the car can be registered!!? When I called customer service - the excuse I was given was that the shop doing the Verification entered the wrong number. That makes no sense to me - that's their only job. I don't believe that's what really happened - but at the end of the day it doesn't matter - because now I have to go and pay to fix their mistake. I understand I'm only one person and my opinion means very little - but CARVANA messed up and the only solution they have to offer is for me to fix it for them. - Don't know why I paid them for registering the car if they weren't able to get it done.

    The customer service on the telephone was very good. The delivery driver was also well trained and courteous. My car had two problems, 1) an oil leak; 2) undisclosed large dents in the front bumper were not shown as “hotspots” on their website. I corrected the oil leak by installing the correct factory oil filter. The filter that Carvana had installed was 10mm undersized on its gasket diameter. The dents are unsightly. I may not have bought the car had those been shown on the hot spots section of the car photos.

Further yet, the 10 day, 4,100 mile extended warranty is a great plus for anything that may pop up (as can be expected on a used vehicle).

I report all of my tips and pay taxes on everything and generally take care of our business. That said, Covid has made an interesting year for all of us.

    Carvana qualified us for a cheaper vehicle than we could afford because the info the computer system used was based off my bank account, not my pay stub. Kashawna, an incredible customer service representative, spent over an hour on the phone with me explaining the system and helping me upload the correct information.

    The actual process of getting the car approved and set up for delivery was easy. However I picked a convenient time for delivery for me. They showed up 1.5 late. The car has a few marks that weren’t noted. The tint on the front windshield is peeling off. On the driver side windshield the tint has a crack in it. There is stains on my floor mats. The door panels has scratches on it. Just some things that weren’t noted on the car description. I was just really upset because I had to miss work that day because the car got delivered very late than the original time.

    Super easy process from start to finish. They have customer support. It seemed like 24/7 guiding me through the whole purchase. Very very helpful. Vehicle selection is second to none. Apr and deal is about the same anywhere else. I just like how Carvana does business. They are straight up about everything. Also the pre approval process is super easy.

    I was happy with the car I purchased from Carvana until I got stranded. I had the car for 6 days. On day 5 I drove to California no problems. On day 6 I was returning home to Las Vegas and the car broke down on the 15frwy in Barstow California. I was pissed not because I just bout it but because I had no help from Carvana. I was told well you can't return or exchange because you are at day 7. If I was to exchange I had to pay for the mileage. I called SilverRock worst thing. They called for me a tow but not home to a shop only so I could see what's wrong then told me whatever was wrong I had to pay for it. So I asked how much to tow my car to my house in Las Vegas. I was told 1900 dollars like you kidding me right. So I said forget it. I called AAA and they charged 620. So I paid that and waiting for my reimbursement. Carvana was no help at all.

    At this moment I've been out of a car since August 26. No car no rental no nothing but do they care not at all. At this moment my car is at Hyundai dealership because I have to replace the engine. How can you sell someone a car that doesn't work and yet expect them to pay their car note. I asked to be compensated for my inconvenience and was denied. Maybe I'm wrong but I went from extremely happy to irritated and being inconvenience. I have been using the bus and Ubers as my transportation with my children. You have to fix this. I would love to be a satisfied customer but right now I'm far from being satisfied.

    The level of service from everyone has been AMAZING!!! We have never been treated as we have with other dealerships. The whole process was easy and efficient from start to finish. Process at the dealership was 20 minutes, sign paperwork, see car coming down the vending machine, inspected and go. Carvana wants to ensure you’re happy with your purchase and they follow up by calls, texts and emails. Of course they can’t meet everyone’s expectations however, they’ve met ours and more. They treat you like it says in Matthew 7:12 (CSB) 12, "Therefore, whatever you want others to do for you, do also the same for them, for this is the Law and the Prophets."

    Carvana is definitely the best new way to buy a vehicle. They have tons of vehicles to choose from and they give you all the details about each vehicle. You can easily see if there’s anything wrong with the vehicle because carvana doesn’t hide it! They even post pics of it! The whole process was super easy and simple. I felt confident the whole way through. Once your vehicle is either picked up or delivered, you get a whole week to test drive it and then decide to either keep it or return it for a full refund! How amazing is that? In my first week I took the vehicle to the shop just to get things checked and everything looked great just like promised! I will definitely recommend carvana to my family and friends!

    I have been searching the Carvana website and didn't understand the high "tax, title, and registration" charge that kept appearing in the price of all the cars I was interested in. After 3 days of "online chatting" and phone calls, a nice lady finally was able to explain the almost $1,000 more in fees as "ancillary fees". This is for cleaning the car, paint protection, new windshield wipers, etc. she said. This is absolutely amazing since they claim to have NO hidden fees. Buyer beware of hidden fees and trying to get a true answer out of Carvana. Thankfully, one lady was able to respond with the truth.

    After reviewing hundreds of cars on their website I took the plunge and purchased a 2017 Toyota Highlander XLE. The car was nearly perfect in all the photos, with only one little ding and a spot where there were hairline scratches. We did all the online paperwork and waited for delivery. An agent finally called and said they were having trouble getting the car to our location in Maine and asked if I would be willing to drive to New Hampshire to pick it up. We made arrangements for the pickup two weeks from that call. That was the soonest they could do it. So yesterday, I took a day off from work so that my wife and I could drive almost four hours to a Home Depot parking lot in New Hampshire to get the car.

    When the Carvana flat bed pulls in the driver gets out and was very pleasant. He take the vehicle off the flat bed and we walk around the car. There are literally dozens of dings and scratches on this car. Not little parking lot dings, full on scrapes and scratches. The driver looked it over with me then looked at the photos and agreed that this was not how it was supposed to be and stated the damages must have been by a third party during shipping. So at this point we started looking at the inside of the car. Never have I looked at a used car for sale that wasn't detailed. The car had splatter on the seats from kids spilling some type of liquid, hair all over the carpets, potato chips under the seat, dirt everywhere.

    Now I am perfectly capable of cleaning a car and this was not a deal breaker, but you shouldn't be paying 33k for a car that you have to take home and clean. So after all the observations I called and spoke to a representative. She was very nice and apologetic. After waiting on hold while she spoke to a manager, she came back and stated that they could give me a coupon for $100 towards a detailing and that the exterior damage could be repaired by the body shop of my choosing after I submit claims to their third party warranty company and after the claims are approved.

    I am not going to pay full asking price and HOPE that their third party company will go good for the damage. There was no offer to make it right, no offer to help me get a different Highlander, nothing other than an I'm sorry. They could have said something like hey we royally screwed up and we are going to give you $500 voucher toward a different vehicle or something, but nope. I wasted an entire vacation day, eight hours of driving, money for food and gas, and three weeks waiting for this car only to get an "I'm sorry".

    Purchasing a vehicle for my daughter electronically was not bad and delivery went smoothly; however, working with Carvana's maintenance subsidiary (Silver Rock) to get covered repairs done was very difficult. It was multiple calls and time lost from work. The Registration process has been equally frustrating. We are now on our second set of Temporary tags with Carvana. After several weeks of confirming they had everything to register the vehicle, they are requesting the same paperwork to be filled out again and resubmitted via electronically uploaded and another document mailed. This was only after multiple calls, long wait times, no return call, lost time from work, and much aggravation. Additionally, they wanted my daughter to sign a blank odometer reading, which we refused to do, especially given this vehicle should/is still under warranty.

    My daughter is a college student, and lives a couple hours away. Every time a form needs to be Re-signed, re-submitted is time off work to make that happen. Car was purchased in July, fingers crossed we can get permanent plates for it by Christmas. Without a doubt, from multiple past experiences, doing this paperwork face to face, at a dealership, would have gone much smoother than what we are currently experiencing. Unlike what we previously thought, buying a car online has definitely not been a time-saver by any stretch of the imagination.

    We heard so much about how great Carvana was, and after our dreadful experiences at car dealerships (which I loathe), I was eager to check them out. So I will say upfront, Carvana's business model looks terrific. But the experience we had throughout this ordeal has been horrible. And to be honest, it wasn't our personal experience with the reps on the phones per se, it comes down to stupid small piddly ** like very poor communication between departments, to website annotation errors which caused us to get the wrong car, to getting text messages saying we're good to go but then getting emails saying we weren't.

    I lost count of the number of times we were asked to give proof of residency only to have one rep after another say we don't need to. Or getting a stick shift car when we purchased an automatic, according to the car's listing on their website. Come to find out, that was a typo so we had to schedule a swap which became a whole 'nother hell for us. This time, during the swap process, we are told by one rep that we are good to go. Then get text messages saying we are good to go. Only to have an email pop up ONE DAY before delivery saying we missed an underwriting deadline which involved verifying the funds in our bank account and now they have removed our car from that particular delivery date until this matter is cleared up. Why didn't they tell us this back many days ago?

    So a whole 'nother round of phone calls sitting on hold for 20+ minutes to speak to a rep who can't understand why this happening. She puts me on hold for a few minutes only to try to come back to the call and disconnects us. Sigh... so I wait a few minutes to see if she is going to call me back. She does not. So I sit on hold another 15 minutes or so to get even a different rep on the phone saying she will take care of this, and that she needs to call the hub where my car is sitting to verify they can still deliver on the proposed original date.

    I mention about the call disconnection and she promises she will call me back if we do get disconnected. She comes back on the phone saying everything is good and that we are still getting the car on the original date. Then the topic moves towards the bank verification. I tell her let's get this taken care of. She agrees. Then she says something like, "Oh I think I can just override that." WHATTTT???? You mean this all could've been avoided altogether? Yep. It could've. Because we already had the stick shift car in our driveway, already purchased so they already had our bank information.

    So, I write this long review to say this.... most of this stupid menial craziness could've been avoided. But because it wasn't, I have lost all interest in using Carvana ever again. This was my first experience, and as you know... everyone remembers their first experience. First impressions are everything. And Carvana, as good as their business model may be, doesn't seem to have all their systems in place to prevent experiences like the ones we had in such a short period of time.

    I ordered a car from Carvana. The process was simple and the delivery was friendly and easy. I was thrilled with the car and the process until I wasn't. I signed all paperwork and received a temporary tag which I was able to print right on my own printer. Then I waited for the registration. A FedEx had previously been delivered. I signed, notorized and returned all the paperwork. After six months Carvana said they needed to change the contract. They wanted me to sign a new contract but it was backdated to the original date and had errors. You cannot speak to the registration team. You cannot speak to anyone who can actually help you.

    I purchased a Subaru Forester from Carvana In July 2021. I was able to afford it by trading in my lovely and reliable (but small) 2015 Hyundai Accent. On the 6th day (they have the famous 7 day return policy), I reported an issue with the back bumper step cover coming off, which was preventing the back hatch (trunk) to open. I thought it was a one-off, simple cosmetic fix, but boy was I wrong. After weeks of phone calls to both Carvana and Silverrock (their warranty provider), and waiting between, I received no phone calls or information that there was even a work order placed. After another 5 hour marathon of calling, I was able to get an approval. The work order had been placed and I just had to go to the authorized repair center, which was my friendly neighborhood Subaru dealership.

    After they had removed the broken part, they noticed the part had been essentially 'glued' to the bumper, which itself was not Subaru stock. After a more comprehensive inspection, the professionals at the dealership concluded that the vehicle had some substantial shoddy cosmetic work performed on the ENTIRE vehicle. Once they pointed it out to me, I could start to see all of the 'solvent pops' and 'fisheye' blemishes covering the exterior paint job. There were several sections of oversprayed paint visible on the non-factory fender that had been replaced. There was even some leftover masking tape on the roof rack of the car- no joke.

    I immediately reached out to Carvana and this began another round of marathon phone calls, transfers, holds, and no answers. One day, the driver's side car door interior started to peel off whenever I opened the door. That was it. I had reached my breaking point. I immediately went to a reputable dealer here in town and got myself into another (SAFE) car. While I was there, they performed an appraisal of the Subaru Forester from Carvana, which I was using as a down payment. The new dealership informed me in an unreported FLOOD, and it was very obvious to anyone who looks at cars all day. There was rust in the engine cabin. There was nothing on Carfax because the previous owner didn't report it. The entire car had water damage that was covered up by shoddy work performed off-the-record.

    Carvana willingly sold me an unsafe, and irreparably damaged vehicle that could not and would not pass safety standards set by Subaru. As a new first-time mother, I specifically purchased a Subaru for their safety standards. If we would have been in an accident, it's likely the cheap parts would not have held up. The worst part is even after MANY hours, transfers, disconnects, hang-ups, they still REFUSE to make it right and offer me any kind of repair or swap. I even just asked for my car back the first month I had the car, and they refused to even entertain that idea. I am out several thousand dollars and my dignity. Carvana took advantage of a working mother and refuses to make it better. I am ashamed to have done business with them. They sold me a $21,000.00 LEMON.

    Please consider this if you want to do business with them. They will do everything to easily get you into a vehicle and then basically clean their hands from any responsibility thereafter. You will never have an easy time reaching someone, and you will have to repeat any issues or concerns dozens of times, and they don't seem to track the content or reason for calling. Please save yourself the trouble and go somewhere you can speak to someone.

    The car buying experience was fine. The customer service is abysmal. The truck was purchased in July - it's September and I still do not have the vehicle registration. I have called several times and they claim they didn't get the paperwork needed to process the registration. I have the tracking number that proves they received it. They had an online notary contact me to notarize a doc, and they claimed they didn't receive that from the notary even though I was cc'd on the document that the notary sent to Carvana. I also uploaded copies of all of these docs to my customer dashboard. The temporary tag has expired twice and the first was replaced by mail. **Their solution to replace the 2nd temporary tag is to send another by email that I have to print and put on my vehicle.**

    When I said I don't have the paper size or printer to accommodate printing a license plate, I was told to go to FedEx (and pay) to have them do it. They *refuse* to send another temporary plate because "they're working from home and it's not possible at this time." So either I pay to have the temporary tag replaced, or I risk getting pulled over because the one I have is expired. There's no excuse for a dealer to refuse to provide a temporary tag when they are the reason my tag hasn't been transferred. Every person who answers the phone has a different answer and doesn't "see the notes" from the previous conversation so there's no sensible way to communicate with them. We have been lied to on several occasions, and the integrity and competence of the people who work for Carvana is questionable. It's too bad that Carvana's customer service will prevent us from buying another vehicle from them and we will not recommend them to others.

    They do not offer Kbb for your trade, they gave me approximately 1000$ less than the bottom of the trade in range on KBB. If you have a problem with any part of the process they just blame “the system“. When asked why they appraised my trade the way they did I was told, “We have no control. The numbers are entered into ’the system‘ and the system generates it.”

    If you need to talk to a supervisor they will not put you through to one. They will have the supervisor call you back in “12-48 hours.“ They still charge nonsense fees. They just give them different names. The delivery driver was almost an hour late, and was not a notary. If you get a driver that is not a notary then it will be on you to take the power of attorney paper (that they require you to sign so they can register the car) to someplace to get notarized which unless you know someone or your bank does it you will have to pay for. Not to mention the gas you use to go to the place. 0 out of 10. Just another car dealer.

    I used Carvana to streamline my search through many, many available vehicles and avoid travel to various dealers while my own transportation abilities were limited. In this regard, it was helpful and provided me with an opportunity to review a wide selection of cars at my own pace. However, due to FedEx losing my title application, Carvana had to obtain a duplicate title from the dealer, and my car's delivery was delayed twice, for a total of 13 days. I was never sure until the day before the delivery when or if I would actually receive the car I had ordered. I used the customer phone service several times, and they were helpful in general, but did not always have definite reassurance when my car would be able to be delivered.

    1. Our scheduled delivery date was moved out at the last minute. I had taken the day off of work to make sure I was home for the delivery. The night before I got a text stating that I should have all my documentation ready for my vehicle delivery the next day. The following morning I got an text saying, "Sorry your vehicle is still 6 days away." Then on the rescheduled date they did not deliver the vehicle until 7:30 PM. Three hours late. For our troubles the delivery person gave us a couple of board games "Sorry" and "Trouble" Like this makes up for all the hassle. I have an idea refund my delivery charge since you, not me, could not make the agreed upon date.

    2. Overall the vehicle is satisfactory. While the tires on the vehicle meet Carvana's tread requirements (barely) they obviously overlook dry rot as criteria for replacement. Two of the four tires have dry rot cracks in between what little tread they have.

    3. This vehicle was delivered with 8000 miles on the current oil change in the vehicle. I mean you would think a fresh filter and 5.5 quarts of oil would be included in all vehicle inspections/checkpoints at a bare minimum. I changed the oil the day after it was delivered and it was well past its prime.

    4. The vehicle had several large caked on dead bugs on the rear tailgate from where it was transported backwards on one of those larger 6 vehicle semi-trailers. Apparently a decent car wash is not part of the checklist either. We honestly thought it was unidentified damage when they delivered it until rubbed a wet towel using your fingernail to dig at it to see if it came off.

    5. The vehicle was delivered with a 1/2 tank of gas. I know gas is not cheap right now but I have purchased quite a few vehicles in my life and this is the first time that the vehicle did not come with a full tank of gas.

    Summary - I will not be recommending buying a car from Carvana to any of my friends or family as this was not an enjoyable process. Especially since the lack of an oil change and poor tire condition has me genuinely worried about how long this vehicle will actually last me and my family.

    There are things I buy online, and others I'm "eh" about it. I did want to buy a car, and I did want to buy a car from Carvana. But, as all things I'm with, I hesitated and opted out to visit a dealer... To be honest, that's just another headache to deal with that I didn't want to deal with (reduntant, but real). I heard of my mom's neighbour. He had bought a car from Carvana. It pulled up early in the morning. And it took them not a lot of time to finish up. The same was for me. Mr W. (As I call him without him knowing lol) delivered the car and was very nice about it. Imma say, he was humble and very, very helpful. These guys care so much, that I had made an error with some of the documents and let me tell you, they were very helpful with that, a lot. The carvana team made a ticket for me and they were just amazing about fixing the problem I made. The Carvana process is delightful, simple and honest. I would recommend buying a car from Carvana.

    Carvana is a quick to get you in a car but if it runs through mechanical issues right away they are not experienced to correct the situation. I spent countless hours on the phone trying to get a swap for something. Luckily I purchased extra warranty for a bad day. I never expected so quick the engine to fail. An expensive fix. The third party warranty refers me back to Carvana and request a replacement. Unlike a brick and mortar store where I can freely express my frustration Carvana customer service is a 30 min hold usually and pray you do not get disconnected because you got to do the process all over again and have to explain your situation to another associate. Most were understanding but they have no authority to fix anything. It’s not all them. I escalated my issues. I filed a W.M.U. Their code for we messed up and I have yet to hear from anyone.

    If you're in desperate need for a car they are great but I ran into a huge wall of problem after problem. Long story short in my 1st month I drove about 1 week. Took over 2 weeks to swap into something else that I’m not so thrilled about. On delivery time I was expecting my drop at 10am. Didn’t receive it until 9pm. They brought the wrong car. This is the HUB's fault and how they run that location it’s a mess.

    I read more bad to worse reviews than good to great reviews on Carvana but decided to purchase a vehicle anyway. I'm disabled and Carvana made this one of the easiest purchasing experiences ever. All online, I searched thru inventory and found "My vehicle", applied for financing and was approved, got the payment I could afford, scheduled delivery of my "new to me" vehicle, and started driving. From the comfort of my home, I have a great reliable, gas saving, cute and sassy hybrid vehicle delivered right to my front door! My experience with Carvana has been flawless. Even the delivery girl was sweet, very personable while professional.

    I read every word of my contract and found nothing that caused concern, even the little fine print. No hidden fees, no surprise charges, nothing... I feel very blessed and thankful to Carvana for approving my purchase when other cheaper, guaranteed approval companies fell thru and would not/did not approve me because my credit score wasn't perfect. Thank you Carvana...so for another bad review...you won't find it here!!!! I wholeheartedly recommend Carvana to anyone who has tried other companies and either got turned down or couldn't get the terms and pricing they could afford. I will use Carvana again...guaranteed!!!!

    Every situation is unique and I am sure there are plenty of good experiences with Carvana, but mine was less than ideal. After deciding to trade my car in with them, I had to call Carvana to ensure that something was entered correctly on my order. I spoke with an agent who helped get everything solved. Next thing I know, this agent is texting me from his personal device to ask me if I wanted to be friends with him on social media and he proceeded to flirt with me. I was shocked.

    My personal information was supposed to be secure, but it was taken by this employee and used inappropriately. I went to management with screenshots and my concerns, asking them for help to ensure me that my personal data was secure and not at risk. Management was very rude and did not offer much in the form of assurance. The ordeal was dragged out for several days. Not once did Carvana offer to make the situation right by offering even the slightest reduction in the price of the car, or something to make up for the trouble. At this point, going to a dealership would have been easier.

    To add insult to injury, when I picked up the new car, it had body damage that was not noted on the listing and they also put temporary plates on that were set to expire in 2 days. Not sure if I am keeping the car or not. Don’t feel great about doing business with a company who has this kind of customer service attitude. They did offer to fix the body damage, so that is something. I will let you draw your own conclusions. Sounds like some people have flawless experiences with this company and others have terrible ones. Does not seem to be a whole lot of in between…

    I purchased a vehicle and schedule for delivery at the Castleton IN car center as a surprise for my son who is fascinated by the vending machine. We arrived at the designated time and was informed that my appointment had be changed to the following day. Seeing my son's disappointment Jennifer ** (my delivery agent) offered to check the vehicle location. She did and under her own impetus she spoke with a truck driver preparing to go home and he agreed to go to Greenfield IN and pick the vehicle up and get it there within the hour. We went and had dinner and in an hour the vehicle was there.

    Jennifer and the driver worked for 15 minutes to shine the car up since it had not been detailed, then they walked the vehicle with me to check any damages not noted on the listing, finding three. Jennifer filed the paperwork to correct the discrepancies, which have all been approved and or corrected. Not only that Jennifer took the lead in making certain I received my Veteran plates.

    We get so critical of the least little thing when it comes to our buying expectations and I can’t speak to the commitment at every Carvana location, but Indianapolis can be proud of the staff at our Carvana.

    I followed their website and applied for a car loan to purchase one of their used cars. After I could not produce any address verification documents since I had moved in with my parents for a while, they kept kicking the ball on how to move forward with the loan. I couldn't contact the loan department and kept getting put on hold with general reps while they told me what documents I could send. After I would send a document they wouldn't reply by e-mail to let me know the status, I had to call to find out they wanted something else. Eventually they just told me I probably can't get a loan. I got some financing somewhere else and told them to change it to a cash purchase. After that it was pretty straightforward. Only issue so far is they forgot to decrease tire pressure on vehicle delivery, which I was able to do myself. The car was as described with no hidden issues.

    COVID caused delays in getting my license renewed - but the state had extended all licenses. Carvana didn't care, so I lost the first car I had chosen. I got my temporary renewal, selected another car, and when I called the Carvana representative they told me that they wouldn't accept the temporary license issued by the state. This cost me my 2nd choice of a car, and turned out to not be true. FINALLY, on the third car - which was MUCH more expensive than the first two - the representative told me that they WOULD accept my temporary license along with my expired license, and we finalized everything. All of this pushed out the date of delivery of the final car, meaning I had to re-register my old car because I wouldn't have the new one until after my old car's registration had expired, costing me an extra $135.00.

    Then, finally, when the day of delivery came, I was scheduled for a 10:00 am delivery. At 6:43 in the morning, I started getting texts from one person saying they would be delivering the car. Then, at 8am, I started getting texts from the first person and ANOTHER person telling me they were bringing the car. Once I got sorted out who was bringing the car, he told me that it was being loaded onto the trailer. An hour later, he texted me and said that the car just came back from the carwash and was being loaded onto the trailer. They finally showed up with the car 2 hours late, wrecking my day's schedule. I would not recommend Carvana to anyone, and going forward will simply go to a regular car dealership, which I wish I had done in the first place.

    I want to get this out there that this is my first time purchasing a nice vehicle not from a private seller. My experience was amazing! From searching for a vehicle on their site to my vehicle being delivered to my house, the experience was top-notch! They have an amazing warranty and if you find a flaw with your vehicle within the first hundred days they fix it for free and if you add the Carvana warranty to your purchase you also have that 110,000 miles on top of what your mileage is when the vehicle is purchased, which I think is Amazing!

    The financing was easy, and the approval odds are better than most, and the low down payments of any are awesome! The fact that you can have your vehicle delivered, and don’t have to go to the DMV to take care of your Tax, Tag, and Title make it even better. (The TTT fee is included in the price of vehicle). If you are having doubts about using Carvana please don’t let any negative reviews or experiences you see on YouTube or other sites persuade you to go elsewhere because you will regret it in the long run! I’ll be using them again in the future, and that’s a Fact!

    I purchased a car in 2020 and had a great experience. In 2021, I purchased another car but within two days knew I needed to "swap" and began the process according to Carvana's 7 day "no hassle" protocol. That was August 7th. It is now August 26th and I have not been able to swap cars, Carvana has canceled my original purchase that I traded in my car for, sent an "advocate" with another car out who did not know what to do, and verbally assaulted me, accused me of lying about the car purchase, after I gave her all of the original signed paperwork, then threw my paperwork in the street. She then drove off in the car and accused my husband of threatening her.

    I have made numerous calls to Carvana over the past month, spent up to an hour on the phone at some points, only to be disconnected with the promise someone would return my call. No one has ever, ever returned a call after I was disconnected. I would have to call back and explain my entire situation again, every phone call. Now, Carvana has my original car, has not paid the note off, have not refunded me my down payment and are refusing to allow me to swap cars for one I had already been approved and signed contracts for. This has been a nightmare of poor customer service, terrible business management and lack of training on the part of Carvana for their employees.

    I love my car, but the buying process was not at all satisfactory. First my original delivery date was delayed twice, so I was paying for insurance on a car I didn't have. When I did pick up my car, one of the keys was "lost" and now it has been up to me to get a replacement from a dealer and hopefully get reimbursed from the warranty company. Lastly, after signing all of the paperwork, I noticed that the car had 200+ more miles than the paperwork said and was told that if I wanted the paperwork changed I would have to come back in a few days to resign/pick up the car, which means I have 200+ miles less on my warranty and trial period.

    I had a really good buying experience with my car on Carvana. However, when I took my car to my mechanic to have it checked out, I found out that the brakes had 5% left on them. Customer service told me that the 150 point inspection should replace any item that was less than 50%. No way the brakes shouldn’t have been replaced before they got to me. He also told me that the brand new tires they put on the car were snow tires (I bought the car in August). Warranty company wouldn’t work with me because they only work on mechanical items. Called Carvana customer service for help. They asked for photos and an invoice from the mechanic to replace them. The leadership told the customer service person that they would not replace because the tires were new!

    I showed the customer service person an article from Bridgestone that snow tires in hot weather are not safe. I asked to speak with the leader to discuss further. I was told I would get a call back in 24-48 hours. Did not get that call. Called back to customer service and was told I would get a call prior to the end of the day. That was yesterday and still no call back. There is no way a regular dealer would have sold this car with snow tires to me. I love the car, and I have a great mechanic to help me with it. I would not recommend you buy from Carvana if you don’t have a great mechanic to rely upon. I doubt they really inspected my car now. They are simply ignoring my request for regular, all weather tires. It’s easy to get a customer service person on the phone but they can’t make any decisions.

    I bought a car in less than 30 minutes & it was delivered to my door within 48 hours. The delivery driver showed up on time with my beautiful Cadillac. He took my picture, checked my insurance & had me sign 2 documents. Then handed me the keys. That simple!

    This has probably been one of the most enjoyable experiences buying a car. From the time I decided on which car to buy it took less than 30 minutes to have the car purchased with only waiting a little time afterwards for verifications. Buying a car the traditional way it would be hours before I would be done with the purchase. This will be how I purchase cars in the future unless they come out with an even easier experience.

    First off the whole car buying experience through CARVANA was flawless and great from start to finish. I found the exact car I had been looking for. I really didn't think I could get the car at first because I didn't think I would get enough for my trade in but CARVANA surprised me and exceeded my expectation which allowed me to make the purchase. "Thank you" CARVANA, the experience was so good. Now I am looking for a vehicle to purchase for my wife through CARVANA, so would I do it again, YES I WOULD!

    I recently purchased my second vehicle from Carvana and let’s just say they more than exceeded my expectations. I prefer not to visit car dealerships because of all of the hustle and bustle that comes with it. Carvana not only makes the car buying experience easy, but the quality of their vehicles is impeccable and cone with a 7-day money back guarantee. And can we talk about how AMAZING my delivery advocate was!!!! Not only was my vehicle even more stunning in person, but she also came wrapped in a bow! I think it’s safe to say that I will never purchase another vehicle from a car dealership again.

    I was very excited about this car. The price was $4,000 over Kelley Blue Book WITH the named features. I paid it. Then it was delivered and I was in love. But, the value of the car was certainly less because the features of (1) cruise control, (2) car alarm, and (3) bluetooth were not present upon delivery (Breach of Contract #1). I had already spent a considerable amount of time on the phone with Carvana at this point, and frustrations with conflicting information as to the start date of my new insurance covering my new car (day of? or day before?) in order to even be able to take delivery.

    The person who delivered my car to me said I could get those promised features added to my car. When calling Carvana again to arrange it, the person said that none of those features would be added, even if I was demanding Specific Performance on the contract (Breach of Contract #2). This same guy kept me on the phone for over an hour saying that Carvana would pay me $250 for the inconvenience, and that I may get "a couple thousand back" because of the difference in value my car has between what I paid and Kelley Blue Book. I pointed out to him that these promises were not something I could reasonably rely on because of the two previous breaches in contract.

    It has been 3 weeks since that conversation and I have not received any phone calls or checks (Breach of Contract #3). After this experience, a friend informed me that Carvana was forced to close their Raleigh, NC location because of there being serious issues with wrong titles, out-of-state license plates, and other illegal acts by Carvana. I AM STILL WAITING FOR AND DEMAND SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE ON MY CONTRACT WITH CARVANA. 2 stars because I really do love the car.

    First time I ever purchased a car from the internet. I’ve always purchased in person every year. 2 to 3 times a year since 1996. New truck every year religiously. For my Carvana purchase it was cool. I spent few weeks looking for a specific car that eventually did pop up. Did my online info for it. Everything super smooth. Car showed up as requested with a excellent top of the line representative delivering it. Did my inspection prior to removing car from truck then drove it. Yup perfect for a 10 year old car. 30k miles, a 7 day return. C’mon. I never had any of my $75k new truck dealership tell me that and get a 100 day 4500 mile power train + warranty really. Well it was fun. Would I do it again. Yuuup in a heartbeat. Thanks Carvana.

    The process and communication were excellent. Kept me well-informed and met deadlines. Delivery and phone support personnel were excellent. Car condition was disappointing and should have been a deal-breaker. Braking caused serious shaking -- had to replace the brake pads and rotors within 3 days of purchase. Warranty covered what was expected and with no difficulties, but the problem should have been remedied upon inspection before delivery. (Any other buyer would have had the car reloaded on the carrier; I needed a car immediately and took the risk.) Also, car had a faint smell of smoke (cigar?) and the dash and metal trim inside had a greasy film on them. Easily cleaned the interior, but disappointing that such a simple and noticeable item was not addressed before delivery. Overall experience was quite good, except for obvious items that would have made the experience superb had they been addressed properly.

    The pros are they have a good selection. I have to say that the amount of work and follow-up this took, I would very unlikely to go through this again. We decided to go with a credit union instead of their financing. Their percentage rate was twice what the credit union offered. This created all kinds of headaches. I had four different versions of what paperwork was needed from Carvana. I like being able to get help from different folks but when the stories are different, you end up chasing your tail.

    After a week of back and forth, I finally told Carvana to either work it out with the credit union or cancel the sale. Magically they made it work. Then the car arrives. It had body work done that wasn't reported which removed the front camera. It affects the safety features of the car and is a pretty important piece of equipment. Multiple scratches and dings on the car that were not reported before the sale. Then I spend a week trying to get approval to get that repaired and get told they won't fix it because it is not damaged. I have never worked harder to buy a car in my life. I know people don't like dealers and I don't either but after this, I will be sitting for a couple hours with a dealer over wasting this kind of time. Now I am out $390 for delivery of a car that was falsified in the ad and there was no way I could have avoided it. I could see if I just didn't like it but to make me pay for their deception is really frustrating.

    Creating a great car buying process is our top priority and that includes helping our customers find the best financial terms that meet their lifestyle. Every customer's terms are based on a variety of factors including, vehicle price, annual income, credit history as well as other non-credit related data sources. We understand the importance of flexibility and the ability to shop around for the offers. At Carvana, you have the ability to utilize third party financing, purchase with cash, or choose Carvana’s financing terms. We recognize that everyone’s situation is different and apologize if our verification process lacked timeliness and communication. Additionally, we are saddened to hear about the issue you experienced with the vehicle once you received it at the time of the delivery. The condition your vehicle came in is unacceptable and against Carvana’s standard. We want to apologize for the experience you have had with us so far. Our vehicles do go through two separate 150-Point Inspections, however we clearly missed the mark with your vehicle and it is unfair you are having to take time out of your day to fix our mistake. We wish we could have resolved this with you and made sure you ended up in a car that you felt safe and happy with, but we are glad to see that you utilized your 7 Day Money Back Guarantee to return the vehicle. Once again, we are truly sorry for the issues you encountered and we appreciate your patience through it all.

    I loved my experience. I enjoyed being able to see exactly what I would be paying as I looked at each vehicle. Even though I swapped the first vehicle we received, it was relatively trouble free. The condition of the second vehicle that I received was not as good as the first. It had two cracks in the front windshield and it grew significantly as we waited over a week for Carvana to arrange a repair. It also was not detailed. The team did fill it up with premium gas when they delivered it. This was nice. They also said since it wasn't detailed that carvana would reimburse up to $100 to detail it. I thought that was odd, but I did have it detailed and have sent the invoice to them in an email but have received no response as of today. Those were some hiccups.

    I arranged third party financing on the second vehicle because the interest rate was almost double for what I got in third party. EVEN WITH ALL OF THAT, the team at Carvana was pleasant, super kind, and professional. I will definitely sell my next vehicle and buy my next vehicle at Carvana. They totally exceeded my expectations.

    I bought a used Es 350 year 2013, and traded my mint 2014 Altima with only 38 k.. they gave me 14,200 for it, but the Es was 23,990… I realized it was more but hey it’s a Lexus that looked great and had 36,646 listed as mileage..so I paid the extra, and they delivered the car, no problem, checked car fax, no problem just 1 owner, drove it, no problem, loved it, look great, but a few things started to bother me.. First, all the tires were new, but at least they could have put all 4 tires the same, but not cheap Chinese on the front, and good Yokohamas on the rear.. These cars require touring tires, and they failed on this.. Now for the big problem.. The car says 36,646 but up in the top corner is a carvana next oil change sticker that’s faded, but upon close inspection I can read next oil change at 111,700… Well how am I supposed to take this? Every time I sit in the seat I’m staring at this low mileage thinking I may have been ripped off and fraud all over the place…

    I live with this every day and only had the car since July 9 and today is august 23… They should be put in jail, what am I supposed to think now? It’s says on car fax no reported rollback, and car fax says it’s ok, but why the hell is there a sticker on the windshield that says 111k…Somebody screwed up there and I caught it is what I think happened.. I’m paying thousands more possibly than I should, and the sad part is nobody cares, they know nobody can prove it… I will never use them again and don’t trust those creeps..Now what am I supposed to think? I saved the sticker, but don’t trust these people, I’m really sad and thought they were on the level, but I don’t know, sure it’s possible to drive only 5 k s year, heck I did, but what the hell is a sticker doing on the glass that says 111k?

    I purchased a vehicle through Carvana for my daughter. We turned in her lease and purchased this vehicle. The process with the digital paperwork was smooth but everything after that was a nightmare. Keep in mind that when you have an issue there is not a phone number or email where you can reach a supervisor or anyone in Management. Carvana only has one phone number and you can only reach telephone agents. Sure everyone is super nice but they just continue to delay your delivery and give you excuses which are lies. My delivery was delayed 5 times. They cancel your delivery the day before or hours before delivery. The first time they delayed the delivery I was told they couldn’t put it on the truck, the next time they weren’t sure but we’re gonna follow up. The next time I was promised it was locked in and we were getting the car. Then again they didn’t have enough trucks, it’s a logistics issue, always an excuse and promises made.

    To make a long story short the final call I received from them was supposedly from a supervisor who was a total joke and he told me they lost the car and didn’t know where it was at. I told him why didn’t they tell me this from the beginning and his response was that they needed to work on training their agents better. Keep in mind that this car at this moment is still for sale on their site and was never removed. I also mailed a letter to their headquarters since it is impossible to speak to anyone in Management and still no response from them. They do not care about their customers. I would stay away from Carvana.

    We found my daughter her dream car at Carmax for better price and such a pleasant experience and easy purchase. If you look up reviews for Carvana you will see many people with the same experience as me. I just don’t understand why they give you a delivery date that they know they cannot meet. They are putting people through stress during a pandemic and they are just awful and unprofessional. I will never purchase a car through them.

    Also to see that they still have this car for sale is a joke and to never reach out to me, Wow Carvana you should be ashamed of yourself. Recently I looked up this car again on Carvana and it said “purchase in progress” and then a week later it was available again. I’m sure someone tried to purchase it but since they don’t even have this car the order was cancelled. Cannot understand why they don’t take it off their website to avoid having someone go through what I went through but bottom line they do not care. Very sad!

    Carvana tries really hard to do the right thing and fix issues but that doesn't prevent the unfortunate issues that we experienced from start to soon to be finish, I definitely would not describe my experience as an "easy" transaction. I provide this feedback in hopes that it will make the company better and not because I am upset or won't use them again. In fact I probably will use them again in hopes of a better experience but here is my experience.

    1. After placing order on our 1st option of a vehicle - I had major troubles trying to login and sign my applications. Turns out this was really my fault because I misspelled my email address but it took 3 or 4 phone calls and broken promises for tech support to get back to me to figure this out and correct the issue.

    2. Finally got the docs signed on this 1st vehicle and we were excitedly awaiting the delivery when we get a notice the night before that our delivery won't happen and is delayed. Unfortunate but not a huge deal in and of itself so we rescheduled, which wasn't available until 4 days later..

    3. The night before our second scheduled delivery we get a notice again saying our delivery is delayed.. And again the earliest available reschedule is 3 or 4 days out. We only have one car that we are trading in so we have to choose a date that my wife has off so we can make the swap, so for each reschedule we have had to push out at least a week.

    4. Get the third delivery rescheduled and to be honest we started looking around for other options as we were not confident that the vehicle would be delivered as scheduled. When looking around I find another vehicle on Carvana that I like better and it says that it can be delivered on the same date as our other vehicle. So I call to inquire about swapping vehicles, the women on the phone is very confused by this request and eventually we get disconnected with no callback.. So I call again and get another rep who is very helpful but tells us that not only has our vehicles NOT been swapped but our previous order was cancelled completely so we have NO active orders.. She proceeds to fix that and get us set up with the new vehicle for the same delivery date so I think all is well and I even get a confirmation email that we are all good.

    5. The day before the delivery I just thought "maybe I should log in and double check that our delivery is still on track for tomorrow, given our previous issues". To my horror when I log in to my account I have NO active orders.. I immediately call and the rep confirms what I am seeing. Not only that but the two vehicles I was interested in are now both under contract with other buyers... The rep was super friendly and help and said she would get a manager on this and that the manager would call in 24 - 48 hrs to discuss options.

    6. The next morning I check Carvana's site to see if one of the two vehicles I wanted happen to be available and sadly they aren't but as luck would have it I find a newly listed one that is even better than the last two so I quickly jump on it.

    7. About 36 hrs later I miss a call from Carvana (NO voicemail) and I call back. I speak with a lovely rep that is very helpful but not the manager and she can't transfer me to the manager. So I have to explain everything that has happened AGAIN and the rep has to relay this back to the manager AGAIN...

    8. The 3rd and best option vehicle gets delivered as scheduled and the transaction is super easy simple and correct. They even take the vehicle and fill it with a full tank of gas before leaving.

    9. Now post purchase apparently there was a hiccup in the docs we signed so they overnighted the docs with a prepaid overnight envelope to send back the signed doc, which was nice.

    Any one or maybe two of the issues above wouldn't have been a big deal but the culmination of the entire experience definitely leaves much to desired. In the end we got the PERFECT vehicle that was way better than the original two options and Carvana discounted the vehicle for us (not a significant amount but it was something) and they honored their original trade in value of our vehicle because as you can image we put a lot more miles on it. I wish I could give a 4 or a 5 stars because you can tell they try really hard and definitely do what they can to make things right but this was anything but an "easy" transaction. All that being said when someone asks if I'd use Carvana again I tell them most likely.

    Everything pre-purchase was absolutely great, after drop-off everything went downhill. Car was bought in March, and still don't have a title/plates. My lender has increased my insurance from 1.9% to %18 since the time has expired for the title to be registered and the lender hasn't been added as a lienholder. I checked the status on this last week and it said "Estimated 28 days left" until finalizing registration. This week it jumped to 85 days...I've had several temporary license plates, which is just a piece of paper that loosely fits and is very prone to water damage. I have no clue as to when I'm actually going to receive it.

    Additionally, I had to pay out-of-pocket for damage that I didn't realize had come with the car until I had to get an oil change. The same day the check-engine enabled I went to go change it up. The employees called me over before the process had started and explained that they were having difficulties unscrewing the oil panel cap, we both looked at each other and knew it was threading issue- which it was after further inspection. Since I needed the oil change they carefully pried it open refilled it and obviously it began spilling thereafter. I realized I had to go to my VW dealer to get it fixed, not realizing it was going to cost me $1,500, and since it wasn't triggered by a manufacturer flaw it was covered by my manufacturer's warranty unfortunately.

    I called Carvana and I happened to get on the phone with someone and explained the situation and realized I was still in my warranty, but it was negated since I was 100 miles over my warranty limit. The woman suggested that I should have reached out sooner, which doesn't make sense since I wouldn't have needed to change my oil and couldn't have possibly known of this defect.

    I went to Twitter and spoke of this to which they promptly responded. They told me that "we are hopeful to find a solution that will be agreeable to you" and "I have tried a few different avenues to determine what the best course of action would be to get you reimbursed in some way for this issue"- that was a 1 month and 2 days ago. I have sent four messages in the interim and can see that they've read it, but never get a response back.

    Long story short, I feel that they've completely left me in the dark, told me what I wanted to hear, and hoped I'd forget or dismiss it. I work in product support myself and I could never imagine not keeping my customer updated or at least provide some clarity. I'm deeply disappointed and just wanted to share this with the community in case you're on the edge of going through Carvana.

    I had a positive experience buying my car but my review is about the problems I've had getting the company to give me my title. I bought the car to ship overseas and don't need it registered. I do however, need my title in order to ship the car. I spoke to their registration team days after the purchase and after 3 days of back and forth, was told that they would send me the documents so I could self-register and that would expedite getting me the documents. That was over 3 weeks ago. I waited almost 10 days and received nothing so I called again. Again I was assured that the documents would be FedExed overnight to me. That was 5 days ago.

    I called yesterday and was again told that the documents would be sent today. Then this evening, I received an email asking me to fill out a titling form. But the form was not attached to the email. I'm assuming this means that my documents were not FedExed as promised. I have tried calling 5 times in the last 24 hours and each call back has hung up on me. I'm at my wits' end, they give me a run around each time and make assurances that aren't true. And now I will be delayed in sending out my vehicle that I purchased a full month ago. Very negative experience and now unfortunately, I can't recommend them to others as a company to use.

    I was very hesitant about shopping for a new ride on the internet. But with the spread of COVID, I felt it was time to let go and try the new way of buying a vehicle. Carvana made the process so easy! I already had an idea of what I was looking for and was surprised to find so many listed in the inventory for the 2021 Hyundai Kona SE. I picked out three low mileage models which I feel in love with. Carvana offered prequalifying for financing, which was completed in minutes. Carvana completed the inspection of the available vehicle and I was notified a few weeks later to start the purchase process.

    It was done quickly, with all paperwork signed off electronically to complete the purchase. There was no down payment and delivery was free. In days a sanitized, touchless delivery of my 2021 Kona was sitting in my driveway. This was the best car shopping experience I have ever had and would highly recommend anyone looking for a low mileage vehicle to avoid the high-pressure sales at a dealership and go with the new norm for car shopping.

    The vehicle is fine, but the delivery driver would not deliver to my home, had to drive three hour round trip to get the vehicle, had no temp plate so had to drive illegally to get home. Got the registration packet, was not told docs needed notarized, four hour round trip to notary, returned docs via FedEx, got delivery receipt, almost three weeks later and I get daily emails and texts with dire severe language warning me that they still need my docs. Four times I’ve been told by a real person that they do have all docs. But multiple times a day I still get these urgent messages, and no idea where the registration process is. Extremely frustrating and surprisingly unprofessional for a company of this size.

    The whole process was seamless and easy. I have only one actual voice to voice communication and that was just to verify the search my vehicle search. After I spoke with that individual, confirmed that I want the vehicle that I found, and he removed it from their website; other than the occasional update text, I had no further contact with anyone until the vehicle arrived at my home. When my vehicle was handed off to the customer advocate who delivered my vehicle, she began to correspond with me via text. There weren't any other communications unnecessary and unrelated to the vehicle delivery. When she arrived she told me she was there. She gave me brief instructions about what to do next. I took the car for a test drive and upon my return she again gave me instructions on what to do. When she left, that's all she wrote. Great process! Will definitely do it again

    This is the second time I've used Carvana and the experience has been excellent. They have a wide range of vehicles to choose from. Both vehicles were reasonably priced and the process to purchase through delivery was incredibly simple. In fact, one purchase was made while we were sitting in a restaurant after an afternoon of traveling to different car lots to try to find something. It literally took a couple of minutes on my phone.

    The quality of both vehicles was very good. We experienced an issue with the breaks on a car that we had purchased for my son. I called to inform them and they had a mechanic within a couple of miles of our home fix it under a warranty that is provided. So, even if you do find something wrong with the vehicle after purchase you can return it or have it fixed. I would definitely recommend Carvana and will consider them in the future.

    I purchased a couple of vehicles from Carvana, I would actually probably buy from them again in the future because there is nothing easier than the purchase experience through them than anywhere else. The reason for the lower rating and the reason to prompt me to write a review is that working with customer service has always been the issue. Currently I am awaiting a 14.9k payoff on my truck that I sold back to them a month ago. My issue with this is well, first I would like my payment and two, I have to call daily in order to make any progress.

    When I do reach someone, it is always, "We will call you back once we investigate." Calls never are returned. They are extremely overworked, very siloed as each department goes through the main channel. I am sure at some point I will receive payment, as with my vehicle purchases all things in the end get taken care of but it's the time and effort it takes in order to get the solutions fixed that will drive you insane. People on the phone are extremely nice and polite, everyone I have ever dealt with has always tried to help, it is the time and burden of the time spent in order to get things resolved that is just really insane. Do your homework, buy the vehicle you want the first time, these vehicles are not very clean when you get them, be sure to take pictures and send it online of everything not the way it was suppose to be. It will take you some real time, but eventually they do solutions really well.

    There was a lack of consistency with the many representatives I spoke with. I started my purchase on my own until I ran into confusion, at which point I reached out to Carvana. The first representative I worked with was fantastic although, she failed to inform me of the extra $1500 charge for the extended warranty I declined. After receiving a loan including the extra $1500, I reached another representative, explained I did not want this included. They respected and changed that in the purchase order so, I then explained I would be paying with a cashier's check over $1500 for the purchase order. They explained that was acceptable they would reimburse me... until I spoke to another rep who explained they could not reimburse over $500 dollars. They tried to convince me to stick with an extended warranty and then cancel it before 30 days with their warranty company to be reimbursed.

    I called their warranty partner who explained how complicated the process was of canceling the coverage. I reached another rep with Carvana who took the extra $1500 off but I had to go back to my lender to pay off the first loan and reapply for a loan for the new amount. This process was nonstop for a week and could've been avoided if all representatives were informed of Carvana's practices. Overall, the purchase went through and I have a reliable vehicle, which is why I have given them 2 stars, but I could have gained this same outcome without the hassle.

    First let me start by saying, I know plenty of people who had a good experience with Carvana, but mine was not. First attempt I tried to buy a truck and most of the way through the process all of the sudden the truck became unavailable to me as it was being purchased by someone else, should not happen. Second attempt got all the way to pick up at the vending machine, went on a test drive and the car died during the test drive, they offered to fix it but decided to try again. Third attempt had to wait 3 weeks to get, 2 for shipping and 1 for their delivery which was problematic, then while sitting in the driveway it dies too, decided to have them fix it.

    So of my 7 day test drive I have the car a few hours and the rest of the time it was in the shop. They call me to see how I like the car and I explain the situation and they say "oh sorry to hear that" and explain that the next day I am stuck with it because the 7 day test drive will be over and I didn't even have the car back from the shop yet. Thankfully the Carvana warranty is good because it was $2000 worth of repairs needed, and yes it passed their inspection. Carvana said they were going to send me a $200 voucher for my trouble but as you can guess never received it.

    If you want the process of purchasing a vehicle to require extensive hours of work over multiple days and have the entire process from start to finish take over 2 weeks, then buy a car from Carvana. Available delivery/pickup dates are misleading until you're halfway through the purchase. Photographed imperfections are not thorough and they'll get one small spot but miss the major ones which is misleading. The worst customer service you can imagine 360 degrees. With this company, no one person is assigned to your purchase so every time you had to interact with someone, you talk to an entirely different person which can be a huge time sink.

    I spoke to probably a total of 10-15 customer service reps during my purchase and nearly every single one of them had no idea what they were doing and would put me on hold for super long periods of time just to return with completely irrelevant responses(to very basic and common things) to then put me on hold again and return again and again with nothing helpful. Average phone call was 30-60mins long and 9/10 times unfruitful. They'll say they'll call you back before the end of the day and they never do. To me it seems like their customer service reps don't know, don't care. I thought after the first one or two bad experiences with the service reps I just got unlucky but it is seriously a 90% chance you will have someone incompetent. It's so bad you almost feel like you're being trolled, like how is it possible to even be that bad at listening to and comprehending what someone is saying.

    They have no way of receiving help from a manager or someone who knows more than they do if they run into problems and their only way of getting upper division help is by submitting something to them and having you wait 24-48 hours to hear back. Keep in mind I had already begun the purchase so time was important and I wasn't some unpaying customer demanding their time and resources, I was three quarters through getting this car. When you start to purchase a car the website will tell you that it's available a certain date and once you're halfway through buying it you'll realize that's not a real date, and they're booked out 9+ days in advance for pick up or delivery.

    They don't actually photograph all the imperfections inside and outside. If you call before delivery and ask for them to give you more info about any cosmetic imperfections (Carmax will do this for you without you even having to ask if they're shipping a car to you) they'll agree to and then never get back to you. Your car shows up and yes it has the one tiny hardly noticeable scratch they photographed, but what about the 3 other much larger imperfections they didn't mention?! I personally would rather deal with 1 day of annoyance with a haggling car dealer in person than this nightmare for 2 weeks. But honestly if you want something like Carvana just go with CarMax. I went there first and loved the experience and quality of service and assistance, and am really kicking myself for not following through with Carmax instead of Carvana.

    This 2014 Toyota Highlander LE Plus is my second purchase from Carvana in the last 2 years and we couldn't be Happier. My other purchase was a 11 Ford F150 Supercrew 4x4 with 62k miles and I will be keeping it for awhile. This time around I pre purchased a vehicle that was just recently purchased by Carvana. At first it was a little confusing because I didn't understand the process of of pre purchasing. I was told after waiting awhile that this can take some time depending on the condition of the vehicle. But I hung in there and Carvana delivered again and within a couple weeks. My wife is very happy we waited and loves her new Highlander. All me experience with Carvana on both vehicles including having warranty work done went perfect and if and when I need a vehicle again I will be revisiting Carvana.

    This was not the most pleasant experience I’ve had buying a car. The first issue was that I found a car and ordered it Carvana send you a form to send to your insurance company. This was problem one they messed up the form three times so I had to keep calling my insurance and having them refill out again and again. Finally after waiting almost two weeks to receive the car they sent me an email the night only notified the night before I will not be receiving said car and they had to move it back again another two weeks. So I then cancelled that car to find a car I could get sooner. I ordered another car so I could get one sooner. So again they send me a form to send to my insurance and again they kept sending me the wrong forms and had to keep going back and forth with insurance with again 3 different forms.

    So now a week and a half later I was getting another car delivered. This time an hour and a half before my car was suppose to be delivered I get a call saying something is wrong with the blinkers and it’s not the bulbs so it needs to go to the shop to be fixed. So again now waiting about a month for a car that is delayed again. So finally hours later they call me saying the car is fixed and they are able to get the car to me that day. This was a very frustrating experience for me and I should have used Carmax or just went to a dealership. I was trying to keep this as easy as possible and it was a nightmare.

Once through that and into the delivery phase it was wonderful. Charmaine dropped the car and assisted with some additional paperwork. Everyone we dealt with was congenial and even downright bubbly.

    STAY AWAY AT ALL COSTS!!! Immediately after our car arrived, a total of six, I repeat SIX, warning lights were flashing. How is that even possible for a car that was “certified” used car to have almost every warning light on after it had supposedly undergone a rigorous inspection. Among the warning lights that were flashing, was the airbag light which was absolutely terrifying to think it was not functioning properly. After calling, I was pushed to Carvana’s limited warranty provider, Silverrock. Make no mistake, Carvana will try to sell you a piece of ** car and push you off to deal with a third party. After calling Carvana back, and maneuvering their automated system, I was on hold for over an hour. The customer service was among the most inept I’ve ever encountered with seemingly zero disregard for rectifying the situation. Deeply disappointed and disgusted with the way Carvana conducted business, and I strongly encourage others to stay away.

    I recently purchased a used car from Carvana with 81,000 miles. The car as delivered was exactly as described and fully usable. The interior was clean, with the exception of some removable staining on the leather seats and door liner surface that interior cleaner removed. Under the hood, the fluids looked as though they had been flushed. Tire pressures were all correct, including the spare. After about 1,500 miles of driving, I find I got what was promised. All the features of this option-rich model work correctly. The employees were polite and finished the paperwork in just a few minutes -- a great advantage over the typical ordeal of the new car buying experience. For example, there was no "finance office" in which the new car buyer must endure come ons to over-priced "extras" of dubious value.

    I would have preferred to have been spared the childish delivery theatrics. I was forced to put a large "coin" in a slot, whereupon the car descended from where it was stored inside the Carvana glass tower. The noise of the elevator mechanism was amplified to near deafening levels inside the glass-lined customer area. (It was so loud, it hurt my ears). The Carvana employee present refused to mute the amplification, so I left the building and waited outside, contemplating why Carvana management would think its customers have the mentality of ten-year old boys enjoying very loud banging noises. It was truly off-putting and marred what would otherwise have been an event-free and pleasant purchase experience. Should the need arise, I would purchase from Carvana again, but I would insist that the car be on the pavement before I arrived.

    I bought my first car online using Carvana. I had been shopping for this car for a while. Looking through the Carvana website, I found one that grabbed my attention. After looking at it extensively, I sought financing through Carvana. The website provided actual photos of the vehicle, and documented imperfections with that vehicle. I selected the car and made the purchase in roughly two hours. The car was delivered seven days later. The delivery person was professional and I received regular text messages as to where the car was.

    Upon arrival, the car was exactly as described on the website. The Carfax history was accurate. It had a fresh oil change and the tires appeared new or had not been on the vehicle very long. Carvana contacted the company that holds the extended warranty for the car and set up the process to have an additional electronic key made. The title process has taken a little longer, but that can be attributed to the rise in COVID-19 cases. I have no doubt that my vehicle registration will arrive in a timely manner. I recommend Carvana to anyone who is looking to purchase a vehicle.

    If you had gave the option for zero stars, I would have given them zero. This was the most absolute and painful experience I've ever had purchasing a car (new or used). Customer service reps were friendly enough but were unable to answer or handle my request. Short and skinny of it...they were going to charge me $600 to pick up the car from the "vending machine" BUT it was absolutely free to delivery to my house which is about 30 miles from the Carvana location or to my place of business (which was only 2 miles away). I had heard from 1st rep that a big coin was given to get the car and we thought it would be cool to let our daughter do that. In the truest of sense, not really a big deal but I was not given a satisfactory explanation even after it was elevated to supervisors and it got to the point where they were not returning my calls. My wife said to let it go but their reasons made no sense. I am very disappointed to say the least.

    I opted to pick up the vehicle for the @Carvana Vending experience, but the machine wasn't working. That should have been my first omen. When they brought the vehicle around the tech pointed out cosmetic issues with the interior dashboard (omen #2), which he confirmed could not be seen from the pictures listed online. He reassured me they could repair it and referred me to one of their preferred service centers @MAACO. I get to the service center and the mechanic chuckles and says "we don't do that type of work here!" (omen #3). So I let that slide. On day 10 the car completely dies on me. (Convenient that it happens just after the 7-day return policy). EVERY light on my dashboard lit up like Christmas. I called the customer service center @SilverRock to have the vehicle towed and THAT was a fiasco! I was told they scheduled a tow truck to come pick up the car and that it would take 2-2.5 hours.

    As the ETA came and went, I called the missing tow truck company @C&JTowing only to get a voice mail indicating they close in 15-minutes. Now panicked, I call @SilverRock customer service again. And again they dispatch yet another towing company with the same ETA time-frame. As the second ETA time was approaching two of the friendliest and kind-hearted gentlemen, Mr. ** and Mr. ** with @BigMackTowing&Recovery arrived to transport the vehicle to an "in network" repair center @RPCarfix chosen by @SilverRock. A mechanic from @RPCarfix calls me that same evening to inform me that they received the vehicle but that they were swamped and they wouldn't be able to do a diagnostic test on the vehicle for four days.

    Being the calm and patient person I've grown to be, I shrugged it off and said okay. The very next day I wake up to a news report that my local @Carvana Center (the same location I went to), has been sued by @NCDMV and had their @Carvana dealers license revoked and have been banned by the county from selling any vehicles due to violating licensing laws. ** @CARVANA ....WTH!

    I started looking at Carvana about a month ago. I was uneasy about purchasing something I would not see or touch until after I had committed to owning said purchase. After days and weeks of research, I found the car I had been looking for. It had a little more miles than I would have preferred, but everything else was what I wanted. So I thought, well with a 7 day guarantee, why not! This is where things miserably wrong and yet amazingly well depending on where you were in the process.

    The moment I said yes was a mess - I had in my hot little hands the start of my trade in. I had given them general info about my trade in, but nothing specific when I started looking a month prior. Now that I had said yes to the car, I need to get a final offer, which was simple, just upload pictures of the mileage, title, and my driver's license. Life was good and I was offered about what I thought I would get for a trade..... So, on to applying my trade to my purchase. This is where things went wrong. For 2 days I sat in the cycle loop of their tool trying to apply my trade in. Nothing worked so I attempted support. My support rep didn't understand how to spell car yet alone how to troubleshoot. So disconnect and get a new guy. This person seemed ok and knew what they were doing. We had a conversation. They were kind, and then all of a sudden without warning, they were gone.

    Come to find out it was the end of their day, so without warning they just went away.... So called the support/customer support line. Talked to a nice lady who said, yes sometimes there's an issue with our software and this happens. Let me put in a ticket to get it resolved. I'll also extend the car's purchase for 24 hours so we can get this resolved..... Next day, after 3 people I finally got someone of all things on FB messenger. Apparently because I stated the trade in process a month ago and didn't finish, my trade had pseudo expired. They fixed it, and away we went....

    The rest of the buying experience was easy peasy and flying. We were done in 10 minutes and received a call a bit later asking for one more document. But after that we were approved! Wahoo, my new Tesla would be here in a few days.... Oh man the excitement! Fast forward to delivery day. My delivery driver was the brightest star of this entire mess! Oh man was he amazing. He deserves a gold star, a bucket of candy, and someone to do something amazing for him, he really made what was a so-so experience better, and he would have gotten 100 stars in a review on his own.

    So he texted me specific instructions before his arrival. Then shortly before he was to arrive, he called to say, the car was really low on battery life. He gave me my options (deliver, wait and let him charge for a bit, or reschedule my delivery). I chose to have him bring the car, after all, I can plug it in as easy as he can. He showed up, was kind, professional, he had read my file and knew the purchase was a mess, so he brought me a little peace offering, he walked my car and found a little extra's that were not disclosed so HE started the paperwork to make them right, he did everything plus some that should've been done! He really provided a truly amazing experience.

    Also, he didn't feel the car was detailed to a good enough standard, so he applied a credit to my account so I could have it properly cleaned. What account or how that works, I don't know that calling customer support is really would do again. And then.... Well the charger was missing. Not his fault, he got on the phone to resolve the situation. And we agreed that I would go to their location to get a charger. No harm no foul. Drove about 30 minutes away and picked up the charger. The only issue I have was I was told the car had a Tesla charger and I was offered an off brand with a Tesla add on to fit my car. It is what it is.

    Here I am the day after the delivery. I love the car and as soon as it has full power I will be excited to drive it. After talking with Tesla it takes several days and maybe a week for the car to be switched to the new owner. Until then you cannot use their charging stations so your only option is at home. Normally this would not be an issue, and if the car had not had such a low battery then it really wouldn't have been an issue. So in the future, and since you have a TON of Teslas, I'd suggest ensuring they are fully charged and all cords are in the vehicle when delivered. Tesla's customer service, or lack there of does not help the situation. Also, if Carvana would've taken over the Tesla from the previous owner, they could've transferred the car right to me, and I'd be on my way in 10 minutes but because they did not, I cannot use the features of the Tesla including charging for a week or so.

    Knowing what I know, would I us Carvana again? I don't know. The misses were pretty big, but the delivery driver made all the difference! If I knew I'd have that same delivery experience, maybe. If I had an awful delivery experience they would have taken the car back. I'll be excited when I can actually enjoy my car. Hopefully soon.

    Buying a car with Carvana, I found a van and started the process online. They asked me to call in, I did and confirmed everything. My bank sent a wire only to find out they lost my wire, missed my name on the account and couldn’t connect any of the details. How do you lose 40k?? Then they rescheduled my drop off 4 different times. I had to call in and ask for someone to look at the account 3 days in a row, always getting a new representative, who couldn’t help me, who wasn’t trained, who needed to reach out to someone else for help, lasting in over an hour on the phone 3 days in a row.

    Finally someone was able to find the wire (which should take 24 hours, and it took like 3 days with them)…(I will also mentioned that I asked for a manager call back, followed the 24-48 hour process and no one called me back. I asked to speak to leadership and was declined. I asked to be transferred to executive line and was declined. I had a lead tell me on the phone that he was as high as I could go, lies. I’ve seen the executive page and work in a call center, I know the rules. They refused to escalate my call, or help with my issue… which is why I am leaving a review in the first place.) And then had to reschedule my car drop off. I finally got the van, and the front control arm bushings are torn. They charged me $50 copay to get it fixed at the Honda dealership because it’s out of network… it’s the manufacture and it was within the 7 days return policy. (I paid for my own buyers inspection to ensure safety… and I am glad I did.)

    I hate the fact that I spent so much time dealing with these people. I have 3 kids and wanted an easy experience (which is what they market) to receive the most frustrating experience ever! Untrained, unskilled representatives who cannot help, who don’t know how to navigate their systems. Their financial department lost 40k (HOW??!!) and had to reschedule delivery and then misrepresentation on the 150 point inspection they offer. They told me the car was in perfect shape... NEGATIVE. It was a terrible, long, and hard process which I don’t recommend. Buyers, read all the other reviews out there, and be careful, don’t trust them.

    Literally the worst customer experience I’ve ever had. If I didn’t need a car so bad I would of given back the vehicle. The Jeep arrived not detailed on the inside whatsoever (there was a FRITOS BAG in the dashboard for example), bad tires and cosmetic issues not mentioned in the listing. The driver was horrified. Instead of Carvana solving the issue all they do is push the issues off to a 3rd party warranty company, Silverrock and they only care about NOT helping. Silverrock does everything they can to AVOID paying any vehicle issues carvana messed up on.

    When I try reaching out to a Carvana sales advocate they will be mid conversation and then DISAPPEAR for 5 hours, I’m not exaggerating. I was chatting with an advocate today for example and the convo started at 1:20. Answered twice then didn’t answer me again until 6:04 in the same conversation. They’ve been more of a hassle than anything. If the car arrived perfect then I could see how the experience would be good because everything prior to the Jeep arriving was a good experience BUT if there are any issue with your vehicle after purchase (and I mean any issue) Carvana does everything in their power not to fix it. Even though it’s their fault for not mentioning any of those things in the listing on top of the lack of cleaning/detailing.

    Oh wait Carvana did say they’d send a $100 check so I could get the car detailed. Even though they promise all Carvana cars are detailed they still expect me to set aside time out of my day to do this. Oh and I won’t receive the check for up to two months maybe more. Once the sale is complete Carvana’s job is done, they could care less about the customer or fixing issues CARVANA caused. Save yourself the trouble and just don’t use this company.

    The purchase experience was very smooth, but getting the car delivered was a huge pain. 1. First they scheduled a delivery to my house, but it was going to take a week. 2. They informed me 24 hours before the delivery time that it would be delayed another 5 days. I had already made plans to not work that day so it was difficult to switch things around. 3. They informed me via email 24 hours before the rescheduled delivery day that my car could not be delivered to my home and instead I would need to go pick it up at a location that is 5 hours from my house in another state. 4. I immediately called to see what was going on and sat on hold for over and hour.

    5. After speaking to the representative (Who was very friendly and trying to help I think), I was informed that they had no idea why my car could not be delivered. They were going to research it and call me back within the hour. 6. No call back that day. 7. I called back again the next morning (only a 5 minute wait that time) and had the same result (another friendly phone rep for what it's worth), but this time I got a call back within the hour.

    8. They informed me that they still had no idea what happened but that my car was not actually at the place 5 hours from my house (glad I didn't just drive there to get it like the email told me to), but was actually at a location about an hour and a half away. So I dealt with rescheduling work for the third time and drove an hour and a half away to pick up the car. They apologized many times and offered me some compensation for my trouble, which was appreciated. I'm happy with the car, but what a hassle.

    Pros:

    1. Initial purchase was quick and easy.
    2. Everyone I spoke to was very friendly and I believe doing their best to help when I was speaking with them.

    3. They did compensate me for my gas/time to drive and pick up the car which was appreciated.

    Cons:

    1. One of their major selling points is how easy they make it to get your car. They failed big time on that front in my case.
    2. Not getting a call back from the rep the first time after waiting on hold for over an hour was irritating, but these things happen.

    3. I would be in a much more sour mood if I had driven 5 hours away to pick up a car that wasn't there. Whatever the issue was that caused that email to go out needs to be addressed ASAP or they will have very unhappy customers if it happens again.

    Hopefully it was just a freak incident and doesn't represent any kind of pattern, but they asked me to a review and I felt it was beneficial to pass along my experience.

    This was the worst buying experience I ever had. I submitted all documents as asked and pay stubs are current as the website says within 35 days. They are good. My pay stubs are barely a week old. I submitted then prior to them even being that old. Kept being told for almost two weeks they are being reviewed. I work two jobs and can well afford this vehicle. I I've never been to a dealership where I need to submit 5 paystubs. That's outrageous and kinda feel as if I was being discriminated. At this point stay away from them. Wasted my time. I needed this car. They were in my state. I could've went with another company and been had my vehicle. Never dealing with them again.

    The individuals that I spoke with throughout the purchasing process, were incredibly kind, helpful and thorough. When they couldn’t answer a question immediately, they went to great lengths to ensure it was answered. Jessica and Alex were especially helpful.

    Carvana has excellent staff and customer service. The only issue I had was the Tesla needed a new 12volt battery installed and it took many weeks for them to make it happen. While the reps were always attentive and sympathetic to the delays they appeared to have very influence to expedite the very simple repair along and have the vehicle delivered sooner vs later. Otherwise Carvana was a pleasure to do business with! I give my many thanks to the primary 3 reps who helped the process along!!

    Experience of car buying is excellent and easy. The car I purchased is great. However, it was delivered with a punctured tire. Had to spend half a day at a tire repair shop to get it replaced. It was covered under the warranty, which was great, but the car should have never been delivered with a flat tire.

    The Carvana website is easy to navigate and allows the user to view the vehicle from all angles and distances. This provides the opportunity to see the noted flaws (pointed out by Carvana, by the way). Their policies give the consumer every opportunity to physically examine the car before purchasing. The person who delivered the car was very willing to help by going over the vehicle and documenting any issues we may have had. Issues were solved promptly and willingly.

    The companies recommended by Carvana did an excellent job in making sure the Carvana staff followed through and checked numerous times to be sure that we were satisfied by answering any questions/concerns that we may have had. I have already recommended Carvana to many of my friends and will continue to do so because of the great experience we have had. Because of all the interactions I have had with Carvana, I feel that their #1 concern is to make their customers happy.

    I have been buying 2-3 year old cars for the past 40 years. I like more unique cars that are impossible to find locally. So I had to buy remotely and have the Vehicle shipped. It was always a pain, very Scary and I ran into some really stupid problems and really stupid people along the way. At first I thought Carvana was another gimmick and the cars would be overpriced. I never even went to their site until I saw a vehicle on cars.com that was listed by carvana. The price seemed right, so I went to their site. Unfortunately the car I wanted was already sold, but fortunately I learned a bit about Carvana in the process.

    So I signed up for email notifications on the car I was looking for. The experience was awesome!! ALL of the issues/crap I have dealt with over the years buying remotely were gone!!! I love my new car!! I knew it intimately before receiving it, which was very conforming. The scam factor was zero. The car and the Carvana people were better than I could have hoped for! Thank you carvana!!!!

    I read reviews like mine and for some reason gave them a chance, anyway. Big mistake and I wasted two weeks and countless hours on the phone. The process of buying a car is super easy, it gets you very excited that you may never have to go to a dealership again. I was pre-approved and sent it every document they needed right away and boom, my car was going to be delivered in six days! I was so excited.

    A few days later, I get a text saying the truck carrying my car was in an accident and it would be 5 days late. Okay.. 5 days after that, they text and tell me they can't locate the car and it's delayed one more day. Two hours later, they text again that it will be another 2 days more now. I try to call them to find out what is going on and it's impossible to get them on the phone. I was on hold for 44 minutes. I finally speak to someone and she says she is looking into it, another 30 minute hold with the worst music you've ever heard, and I get disconnected. I literally never talked to someone. I texted to say I want to cancel the whole thing and someone replies "are you sure?" I said yes and never heard another word. You'd think they'd care more that they just lost 44k in a sale but literally, not a word. It was such a waste of my time. Believe the bad reviews. Save yourself.

    Gave a 3 but would have given it a 2.5. The car has all the perks I was looking for. Got the car & there's a light on. Displaying that the tire sensor is out & that the car needed an oil change. Car wasn't detailed, still had other people belonging in it. Called & tried to have them fix it, got NO response AT ALL!! I love the car don't get me wrong but WHO wants to purchase a car with LIGHTS already on indicating a problem on day 1?

    Carvana prides itself on providing our customers an exceptional car buying experience coupled with high quality pre-owned vehicles. We know that many customers select to purchase from Carvana because of the convenience, and we want to be sure that convenience is lasting far past the 7-Day Money Back Guarantee, however it seems like we missed the mark with your vehicle while completing our 150-point inspection. Part of our process not only is guaranteeing that the cars have gone through the 150-point inspection to ensure it drives as close to new as possible, but we also detail every vehicle so that it looks (and smells!) as close to new as possible. We pride ourselves on the great condition of our used vehicles and we can assure you that your experience is absolutely not excusable or typical of our process. All of our vehicles come with a 100 day/4,189 mile warranty for an additional peace of mind, but we are very sorry for the frustration we have caused you. We recommend getting in contact with Silverrock, our trusted warranty partner, to help resolve your concerns. You can always chat with us 24/7 if any questions arise. We appreciate the feedback you have provided us as we are always looking to improve the customer experience.

    Went through the steps thinking I was bound to hit a dead end. Boy was I wrong. Greatest decision of my life was giving Carvana a try. I had 7 days to try my new car in case I wanted to exchange it she they delivered it to me with a tank full of gas! Thank you Carvana!
