    Do NOT use Carvana, they keep and sell your information for financial gain and will not remove your information. Plus their car offers for purchase are worse than a trade in offer. The last thing any should do when car shopping is use Carvana. Don’t learn the hard way like I had to.

    If I could give this negative stars I would. I’m 55 years old and I’ve owned probably 30 cars. This has been the single worst car buying experience I have ever encountered. We found our dream car for my wife’s birthday. The price was fair and they gave me a fair amount for my trade. With the car showed up I immediately noticed missing pieces from the front end that were pictured on their website. When the car came off the delivery truck, it was rattling and vibrating. After our first test drive, the transmission was shuttering, and the instrument cluster would not get bright after it came out of a dark garage. They have the seven day exchange and we told them to come get this car. We found another car to exchange. But they wanted to charge us $1800 for delivery.

    After several phone calls and some negotiation, they waived the shipping charge. We were excited for our vehicle to show up a few days later. It made it from the East Coast to the West Coast on time. But five hours before delivery, they said there was going to be a 10 day delay because there was an issue with the car. I was not pleased, but I would rather have them fix the car then deliver it not working, especially considering the condition of the first car they delivered.

    10 days goes by and for four days before I am checking every day that it’s going to be delivered on time. The day before I’m literally checking every three or four hours. Their AI chat says everything is good and it will be delivered on time. One hour before the delivery AI chat says it will be delivered on time. Mind you I have blocked out my afternoon for four hours. And what happens one minute before the scheduled delivery? They tell me that there’s a problem with the car and it’s gonna be another 10 days. So the first car they sent isn’t drivable, they’ve taken my trade and My Wife no longer has a car to drive for three weeks at this point.

    Well, I don’t want to risk waiting another 10 days so I asked if they can send another car but this time they will not waive the shipping fee and I am not about to drop $2000 for nonrefundable shipping for another POS. Begrudgingly, we decide to keep the first car. They did make a “courtesy” payment of $200 to help with the missing parts on the vehicle.

    I took the car to one of their shops with their 100 day warranty, and they tell me the car has a misfire on one cylinder, and it needs a transmission and a driveshaft. I’m now 30 days into having this car and making payments on it and it is sitting in a shop. Stay very far away from Carvana. They are the complete opposite of Carmax, which was the best car buying experience I’ve ever had.

    Their selection was great but when I went to start a claim for body work they let me know I was just passed my 7 days. I had told them I told you about the problem prior and that my vehicle was in the shop the whole time I had it. So not sure I'd buy from them again.

    I wasn't too familiar with Carvana until I started researching vehicles online. I'm so thankful Carvana reached out to me, after finding exactly what I was looking for. I was just about ready to settle for less than what I wanted, when I received their text. The purchasing process was seamless. Everyone involved was friendly and helpful. Such nice people! The delivery was exactly on time. I have to admit that I cried when I saw the car in person, as it rounded the corner in my neighborhood. It is a perfectly beautiful Mazda Miata MX-5. Spotless and clean with a full tank of fuel. I am forever ruined by Carvana for purchasing vehicles at dealerships from now on. If dealerships put one tenth the effort into customer satisfaction that Carvana does, I might have a different story to tell. Thank you, Carvana. Keep up the good work!

    This has been quite possibly the worst carbine experience I have ever had in my life. I will never buy a vehicle from this company again. It is very deceptive and when they mention that they inspect vehicles that’s a complete lie. No vehicle inspection takes place on the car so they sell you both cars that I received were riddled with issues and then when it comes to getting an issue fixed the warranty company that they work with Silver Rock is even worse. They do everything in their power not to pay out a claim and haggle you all the way through the process until you’re out of the warranty. So they can go ahead and tell you you no longer have a warranty so we can cover anything for you. Stay away from this company.

    Purchasing was easy and delivery was punctual. My dissatisfaction is with the car's condition and cleanliness. The front of the vehicle was covered in insects, the side wells showed splash marks from driving, and the rear of the car showed wash streaks where dirt had been moved around, but not cleaned. Additionally, the inside of the vehicle had not been detailed. The trunk and centered console had debris that appeared to be old leaves, and the dash appears to have been hastily wiped down, pushing dust around and leaving wipe marks/ tracks. An imprison dealer would have made sure the car was pristine, so this experience took away from the excitement of getting a new car.

    The truck I bought had more paint damage than was advertised. The tires need replaced but somehow they passed state inspection? And they rescheduled my pick up time for 4 days after it was supposed to be because of an error they caused. So excited me about a new vehicle. Had to wait longer by no fault of my own and make another payment on my trade in vehicle that I otherwise wouldn’t have to make if they took it when they were supposed to. Overall decent experience but it seems like they move cars out at such a fast rate that they don’t take the time to actually inspect their cars enough to be honest about their condition. I still accepted the truck because it was the exact model and mileage I wanted. But having to put my own $ into it after the fact is frustrating. I would however take this review back if Carvana sent me a refund for the amount I spent on new tires, especially since they could get in trouble with the state if I report it.

    I purchased a 2018 Volkswagen Golf R from Carvana for $32,990. Unfortunately, my experience after delivery has been extremely disappointing. Before purchasing the vehicle, Carvana disclosed scratches and described them as minor—specifically indicating that they were not deep enough to catch a fingernail. That description was a major factor in my decision to purchase the car.

    When I received the vehicle, the reality was very different. The scratches go completely through the paint and down to the primer. This isn’t a minor difference in someone’s interpretation of a scratch. In my opinion, the vehicle’s actual condition was materially different from how it was represented online. I contacted Carvana multiple times during the 7-day return period and tried to get them to address the problem. I was repeatedly told that vehicle descriptions can sometimes differ slightly from the vehicle’s actual condition. I don’t consider scratches through the paint to the primer a “slight” difference from scratches described as not catching a fingernail.

    I obtained an estimate of approximately $3,100 to properly repair the damage. Rather than work with me toward a reasonable solution, Carvana’s answer was essentially: return the car. That’s especially frustrating because I wanted to keep the Golf R. I wasn’t asking to return a vehicle I otherwise liked—I wanted Carvana to stand behind the condition in which it advertised and sold the vehicle. I also purchased Carvana’s Premium protection/service contract, yet that didn’t provide a solution for the pre-existing cosmetic damage either.

    My issue isn’t that a used car had imperfections. My issue is that the imperfections I received were substantially worse than Carvana’s description, and when I raised the issue within the return period, Carvana would not pay to correct them. Consumers buying a vehicle online depend heavily on the seller’s photographs and written disclosures because they cannot inspect the vehicle beforehand. Based on my experience, I would strongly recommend having any Carvana vehicle thoroughly inspected immediately after delivery and documenting anything that doesn’t match the online listing. I expected Carvana to stand behind its description of the vehicle. They didn’t. That’s why I’m giving this experience one star.

    Overall, I like the vehicle, the process for the most part, however when reporting a cosmetic issue within 7 day period (rear window glass scratches that were not disclosed in photo/advertising of vehicle) they were unwilling to offer a remedy. Certainly some disappointment.

    Overall was an amazing experience. I was nervous at first but so far has been an easy way to get a newer car at a fair price. Delivery went smooth and I believe the driver’s name was Hunter. Hunter did great at answering my questions and addressing my concerns. He was very informative. I was allowed time to test drive my new van while he loaded my trade in. I think my trade in value could had been more but was a simple way of getting rid of the old when I got the new. The 2026 Chrysler Pacifica I purchased has been amazing and I’m in love.

    The report did show a previous accident and I didn’t see any major damage other than some scratches in the pictures but during delivery I noticed the underneath was damaged. The damage started dragging on the ground shortly after purchase. It will be repaired soon. The van was also desperately in need of oil so I had to immediately get an oil change. However, after my mechanic looked it over, there hasn’t been any major issues besides that. Super happy with my choice anyhow!

    Extremely unhappy with the vehicle I purchased 38 days ago. It is virtually impossible to speak with a live body so service is BAD. I had someone call me about the 1st set of issues, and when I followed up in chat, no one knew anything (or so they say). SilverRock did great with issues we knew about and reported. They covered $1800 for repairs. There was a water leak inside the driver's pillar - turns out whoever painted the ENTIRE vehicle damaged the seal of sunroof. Carfax shows only minor damage, so why was the whole thing painted? Next buttons on door handle didn't operate locks. Washer fluid cap was missing. Battery cover on the positive side is broken; I had to pay $25 for that. Numerous spots of overspray on exterior from paint job. Pulled to light bit to left, not sure if its alignment or tire issue - turns out it was alignment and tires needed rotated.

    Right after 1st payment, more issues. Car jerks forward at dead stop, engine idles at a high rate repeatedly when in park. Not much resistance in the brake pedal, so that tells me a brake job is due. This vehicle is not worth the price. Add to that the cosmetic overspray EVERYWHERE that I received a $200 check for. I will be filing complaints with the MD Attorney General, Better Business Bureau, and leaving a Google review to start with.

    I bought a 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Within 24 hours, the battery was defective and had to be replaced. Took it to an authorized Carvana dealer, who found an issue with the Oil filter housing and a wheel bearing. Carvana authorized the repair of the wheel bearing but not the oil filter housing, saying that it was a Jeep issue. Called Jeep customer care, who said it was not part of the drivetrain warranty. I want to return the car and get my money back to buy another vehicle elsewhere, but it will take 7-10 days to get my money back. I feel trapped in either taking the car as is, or exchanging it for another car that may have defects that Carvana did not catch or fix.

    Car dealerships, like independent mechanics, most obviously are trusted to deliver a safe car. Carvana, despite their well-publicized ‘150 point [safety] inspection’, implying as much, accepted our hard-earned money for a BMW convertible that, when checked by a local BMW dealership service department had serious safety deficits totaling over $ 6,200 in basic required fixes, including a faulty passive passenger airbag system, faulty front sensors needed to regulate a sophisticated guidance safety alert system, along with brake fluid not addressed in over 3 years. To say Carvana was ‘careless’ is an obvious understatement belying a serious misrepresentation which potentially could have led to incalculably catastrophic results. Steer clear of Carvana cars at all costs, a company not worthy of being trusted, for safety’s sake.

    Absolutely awful experience with Carvana. What was supposed to be a convenient way to purchase a vehicle turned into nearly three weeks of delays, terrible communication, and wasted time. My original delivery was September 13th. Leading up to it, I received texts saying everything was on schedule. Then, on the DAY OF DELIVERY, they canceled, claiming an issue with the DMV.

    Delivery #2 was September 17th, between 12–3 PM. At 12:30 PM, I was notified it was delayed AGAIN. I was eventually told the vehicle had a bad OBD port and the earliest they could reschedule was September 27th.

    Delivery #3: September 27th. The DAY BEFORE, Carvana texted saying everything was on track. The morning of delivery, I opened the app to discover it had been rescheduled AGAIN—this time to October 7th. No proactive call or explanation.

    I was told someone from their executive team would contact me. An hour and a half past my scheduled delivery time, I still hadn’t heard anything. Support told me no one was available until the following day. I was eventually given a number to call—with a 46-minute wait time. That was the final straw. I canceled my order. What’s even more frustrating? I specifically asked THREE different customer service agents to document that I STILL wanted a call from someone regarding this experience, even after canceling. As of writing this review, I have yet to hear from ANYONE at Carvana. Apparently, losing a customer after three failed deliveries isn’t even worth a follow-up.

    Here’s the kicker: I went to an actual dealership and purchased a NEWER vehicle with the SAME mileage, in BETTER condition, for LESS money! I chose Carvana because I thought it would be convenient. Instead, I wasted nearly three weeks waiting for a vehicle that never arrived. I’d strongly encourage anyone considering Carvana to think twice before paying for what you believe will be “convenience.” My experience was anything but convenient, and purchasing from an actual dealership ended up being a far better experience. Never again, Carvana.

    Extremely disappointed in Carvana with this purchase. This is my third and last time dealing with them. Purchased a 2021 Lexus NX and it’s obvious they don’t actually do the 150 point inspection like they said. The brakes were terrible, bad vibrations when hitting the pedal. Took it to a shop they referred, which was a shop I deal with on a regular basis. They agreed the rotors were all warped and needed replacing. The warranty company wouldn’t honor it unless they used a lateral runout tool to provide numbers. As a former mechanic I know no one uses this anymore, not even the other shops they referred. So now they are not going to honor the warranty deal and we had this car about 6 days.

    We also doublechecked that the car would be clean upon delivery and of course they said yes. That car was filthy inside and out with the previous owners hair everywhere and their dogs hair all over the back. We spent 3 hours in our driveway cleaning that car. They never clean their cars, or they do a half job on them like the other 2 cars I got from them. Don’t bother with Carvana, they don’t keep their word.

    This is our second purchase from Carvana, with the first being an excellent experience, and the second being a poor experience. Our vehicle showed up with two bald tires, a chunk of paint missing from the front that was not displayed on the website, and a torn CV boot. When it arrived and we inspected, this was noted to the individual that dropped off the vehicle to which they did not make a claim for us when they could have. It took multiple calls to Carvana, including one of those calls with a very poor customer service experience, and the others were well above average. Jaylen in the AZ call center that assisted me was stellar and ultimately is the reason I kept the vehicle.

    With the issues on the vehicle, I had to take the vehicle to two locations to be inspected and have claims submitted. The claim for the tires was ultimately denied despite the tires being bald and splitting internally, along with dry rot. The CV boot was approved and fixed but that still doesn’t give me back the time that I spent to rectify this situation and keep the vehicle. While Carvana was our first choice for this particular vehicle. It will not be our first choice in the future, unfortunately. There should be better quality inspections when Carvana purchases a vehicle from a party and should bot show up with bald tires or repairs needed. This should not happen with any dealer period. I’m grateful that carvana came through and fixed the issues but not without a lot of back and forth for a week straight. It shouldn’t be this difficult.

This is beyond ridiculous and frustrating. The vehicle should have never been sold in and unsafe condition. There’s no way they didn’t know the damage. And then to have to wait and go through such a process for repair when it’s Carvana completely at fault!! Not happy and will tell and make know to everyone I can not to use this company. Shady, dishonest, deplorable. Disgusted with my experience.

    To starts with me setting a appointment to deliver my car. An hour before they are to show, someone from Concord calls says they are behind and only have 1 trailer truck, and asked if he could drive it to me or reschedule? Kinda defeats the purpose of paying over 400 dollars to deliver with an appointment. Then when he shows up finally, he proceeded to tell me about the car kike he's selling it to me, I've all ready bought it, online. I know what the car has.... Then the real nightmare starts. On the 8th day my check engine light comes on and I am forced to file a claim to fix a car that I just paid over 27,000 for.

    SilverRock was a hassle but eventually paid. Would also like to add Carvana also fail to mention all the massive amount of rust on the bottom of my car also, no proof of maintenance, because I have no info on last oil change and. And last site says tags title and registration covered, with temp until you pay property tax on top of everything else. Not happy with the service and transparency.

    My name is Suzy **. I sold a 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit with 21517 miles on it to Carvana on 9/21/2026. The day before, Sunday 9.20/2026, I was sent a form to expedite the money portion. The form included my bank, routing number, account number and the Name on my account. I very clearly stated that the name to be used was Suzy M ** as that is how my account is listed. Obviously someone had to read it to get the bank information. However, the payment was sent to Suzy Melissa ** and the bank declined the transaction.

    I live 30 minutes from the bank which is why I requested direct deposit to begin with. The team at Carvana seems to think it is now okay for me to have to wait until Friday 9/25/2026 to receive a paper check that I will then have to take to the bank. How is this acceptable?????? I complained to customer support and just got a run around. Had every intention of purchasing another vehicle from you, but you have shown me that you can be trusted to do what is right by your customers. Suzy

    I am good with the overall deal, trade offer and purchase price, but the final processing was such a huge hassle regarding insurance. I have current insurance on both my cars and always do. I notified Progressive to add my new car from Carvana on the day of pickup and sent my current insurance policy card. Carvana system denied approval and cancelled my appointment order saying new car not on policy.

    I sent Carvana the notice of car being added on pickup day but still not approved. After talking to both Progressive and Carvana I begrudgingly added and paid for insurance that started days before I picked up the new car from Carvana, a waste of my money to insure car I don't even have yet. On the rescheduled day of pickup they still struggled with insurance verification and got email saying I had to resubmit cards or dec page. I submitted 8 times so far. I had to speak to someone that day too. Actual pickup was quick and easy. It is stressful enough to buy something for 30k and to add this drama, so not worth it, as seems Carvana computers run the humans, instead of the humans running the computers.

    Everything was fairly simple. My main complaints are the condition of the car. The detailing of the car looked rushed as they kissed most cup holders and door storage. The brakes and rotors are in need of replacement. The license plate bolts are stripped and hard to replace. There is a leak under the car and the car itself shakes when you hit 60 mph. A more thorough inspection of cars should be done before selling them.

    I am extremely disappointed with my Carvana experience. I purchased a 2026 BMW 430i, and immediately after receiving the vehicle, I discovered a deep scratch and dent on the rear passenger door that was NOT shown in the vehicle’s disclosure photos. I reported the damage to Carvana the very same day I received the vehicle. This is not a small surface mark or normal wear and tear. The damage is significant enough that I received an estimate of approximately $1,700 to properly repair the door. What makes this especially frustrating is Carvana’s response. Instead of addressing the fact that the damage was not disclosed, I was told that the imperfection was considered minor and that Carvana doesn’t repair every cosmetic issue because that allows them to offer lower prices.

    That response completely misses the point. I am not complaining that a used car has a few minor imperfections. I am complaining that significant damage was not disclosed in the listing and was discovered and reported immediately after delivery. There is a major difference between normal wear and tear and damage that costs approximately $1,700 to repair. I purchased this vehicle based on the condition Carvana represented to me. If this damage had been clearly disclosed in the listing photos, I would have had the opportunity to make an informed decision about whether to purchase the vehicle. Instead, I received the car and had to discover the damage myself. I’ve purchased five BMWs from Keeler BMW and never experienced anything like this. Unfortunately, my first experience purchasing through Carvana has been extremely disappointing.

    If you’re considering buying a vehicle from Carvana, my advice is to inspect the vehicle extremely carefully immediately upon delivery and compare every part of the vehicle with the listing and disclosure photos. Don’t assume that significant damage will necessarily be addressed after delivery. I am extremely unhappy with how Carvana handled this situation. I believe significant damage that was not disclosed should be taken seriously, especially when the customer reports it on the very first day. Based on this experience, I will not purchase another vehicle from Carvana.

    Very disappointed with my Carvana experience. Carvana took my payment before I had signed the required documents, which caused an NSF fee on my account. I have called Carvana several times trying to get an explanation and resolution, but I still have not received a clear answer. Taking a payment before the required paperwork was signed was extremely frustrating and caused an unnecessary financial issue.

    Buckle up folks. This is a long one. 08/24/2026.We purchased a BMW 3 Series from Carvana. The initial transaction was pretty painless with the exception of not being able to get documents to upload to their portal. They were quick to answer the phone and assist with this so, no big deal. Right? This was the last and ONLY time they were quick to respond. Through my research, I found several articles suggesting that you get a PPI done in the first week. PPI usually means Pre Purchase Inspection but since you already own the car it's more of a Post Purchase Inspection. However, with the seven-day return policy this is where your bargaining leverage comes from. It's in their best interest to keep the car in your hands, instead of returning it.

    08/27/2026 Dashboard warning light appeared. Triangle with an exclamation point in the center. I was looking for a place to perform the PPI and found out that our local BMW dealer does not. 09/03/2026 I called Carvana to ask for a recommendation. After about 20-30 minutes on hold I was able to speak with an "advocate" who emailed me a list of facilities and extended the seven-day return window until 09/07/2026 because it was Friday and the window was up on Monday 09/05/2026. So, we took it to the shop on 09/05/2026 and they did the PPI and an error code for an ABS sensor came up. Unfortunately, the technician that could troubleshoot and diagnose this issue at the repair facility (that Carvana recommended) was on PTO and would not be available to troubleshoot the issue. I was okay with this because my wife really liked the car.

    When I called Carvana back (5th or 6th time by now) and asked for acknowledgment of the warning light and for a note to be put in the file, just in case it turned out to be a bigger issue. I was told no! I could take it to another garage, pay for another inspection, or return the car. It was at this time that I noticed that the car had new brake calipers on all 4 corners. Suggesting that maybe they were aware of the issue and hoped that new calipers and sensors would fix the issue. Having had a 6K repair on a previous VW with a bad ABS module. We were a little gun shy. So, we decided to return the car.

    09/05/2026 After a 30+ minute hold to inquire about returning the car. I was told that I was connected to the wrong department and they would have to transfer me. 48 minutes later David picked up the phone. David apologized for the experience that we had been having with Carvana and said, "but don't worry. I'm the last person you're going to need to speak with!" "Let's get you taken care of". At this point we had looked at cars and found a 5 Series that we liked. David assured me that it was on a hold for us until we finalized the purchase in a few days.

    After he arranged for the shipping fee from the 1st car to be applied as an additional downpayment on the 2nd car. "It will take a few days, but the car is yours." "I'll call you when it's done and I'll have some documents for you sign and upload and we'll get it delivered by 09/12/2026." He even graciously offered to extend the 400-mile 1st week range on the car. 09/06, no phone call. 09/07, no phone call. 09/08, no phone call. 09/08/2026 So, another phone call to Carvana. Another hour long wait to speak with someone who can clarify the situation and maybe finalize the deal. I'm forced to hang up because I have to go to work.

    09/08/2026 My wife attempts to call again when she gets home. Again, she is on hold for 30+ minutes. Again, she is told "I'm the last person you'll need to speak to." "May I place you on a brief hold?" 30 minutes later, she hangs up out of frustration. 09/09/2026 I start the process all over again. 40 minutes for a return call this time. But now I've got Sarah on the phone and Sarah is a member of the executive resolution team. Guess what? Sarah is the last person that I'm going to have to speak to. By now the story that I have to relay each time I speak to "the last person I'm going to need to speak to" is 10 minutes long and getting longer with each phone call.

    Sarah discovers that, not only did David not call us back. He didn't reserve the car for us, and it is by sheer dumb luck that it is still there. He also did not request that the shipping fee be applied to the new car either. She gives me the same song and dance about getting the money applied as additional down payment. I ask for some consideration on the price of the car. She asks to place me on a brief hold so she can check with her supervisor. (But she's a member of the executive resolution team). She comes back on the line with approval to take $750 off the car. (2 weeks of headaches, dozens of phone calls, hours on hold or waiting on return calls, promises made and not kept) and $750 is all you can do? Whatever!

    Something is better than nothing.

    She then explains that she will be watching our case personally and that we will have direct access to her going forward. She promises to reach out to my wife that very evening and answer all her questions and walk her through setting up automatic payments. Another lie! The next day I received an email from her apologizing for not reaching out. She got pulled into some training for a few days. (Training that lasts for days that you don't know about in advance.) I reply to her email only to find out that it does not accept emails. "DIRECT CONTACT" Another lie! 09/10/2026 Another lost hour of my life trying to finalize the purchase of a car that is supposed to be delivered in 2 days. Again, I'm apologized to for the experience that I've had with Carvana.

    A very nice lady offers to walk a message over to Sarah (who is supposed to be in training for a few days). Who is actually on the phone with another customer at that moment. But I should hear back from her in less than an hour. "As soon as she's off this call!" Do I really have to tell you?

    3 hours later I call back again and wait for an hour to get to the place I was 4 hours ago. Sarah gets on the phone and says, "Oh My God I was just about to call you!" So, when I asked about why she didn't keep her word and call my wife back? She said. "I did" (If you call someone on a cell phone there is a record of the call whether it was answered or not. And if you call someone. Why do you send an email apologizing for not calling?) So, I asked to speak to a manager. "That will take 24-48 hours for a manager to return your call".

    4 days later I call back again for the 20th? time. This time I'm connected directly to a manager after the usual 1.5 hour run around. So, she lied about that as well. However, we did manage to get the deal finalized and the car delivered but it has taken almost a month. Does this sound fast or easy?

    The only way this entire experience could have been worse, is if they had run over our dog in the process of delivering the car. The PPI on the new car uncovers $1500.00 worth of brake pads, rotors, and routine maintenance that needs to be done. None of which was mentioned in the report on the car. So, where's the transparency that you talk about? What does the 150-point inspection actually inspect? Obviously not the brakes. In my experience Carvana is the same old fast talking, slimy, dishonest used car salesmen that gave us the term. They're just doing it in the digital world. Buyer Beware!!

    My initial experience with Carvana was great. Website easy to use, buying process efficient, easy and we were all set with our new BMW X5. Unfortunately, the car was advertised with a primary feature, a feature that was the main reason we picked the vehicle and it was not there when we picked up the car. The feature is a $2500 option for this model. Carvana admitted that their advertising was incorrect, but after days of calls and chat sessions with their team their best offer of compensation was $500, or return the car, which would be a huge waste of time, including returning our trade in vehicle... days of drama and time wasted... so a last resort option).

    Carvana did not demonstrate good corporate citizenship in this case, as a consumer I've been screwed over and there's nothing I can do about it. Yes, I took the $500, the alternative was a lot more pain and suffering so it really was that or nothing and they knew they had me over a barrel! So far, I've told over a dozen people they should not buy a car from CARVANA and I'm going to continue to do so every time I drive the car they sold me - the one that doesn't have the features they said it did.

    This was the worst car buying experiences I have ever had.

Every question asked was put through their “system” but I was getting different answers and my purchase kept getting delayed because of their misinformation. We chose to go to the vending machine for my toddler to see the new truck move through only to find out it was too big and just sitting in the lot, not a huge deal, but still a bummer because of the experience we were told about.

    Finally, the truck was not cleaned well, dust all over the dash and center console, windows were not cleaned (smudges and dust inside). With the amount of time I waited for this truck, I expected a much better first impression. I took it home and had it detailed by a real detailer. I would not recommend purchasing through Carvana to anyone, the only reason I didn’t cancel this order was because I was looking for something very specific and this truck was the lowest miles on the internet.

Majority of the issues are not in the pictures or advertisements.. The delivery truck leaked a quart of oil on my driveway as well.. just go to a dealership and avoid this headache

    The online shopping process was easy and convenient. However, car was delivered with a scratch on the lower body that was not called out in the imperfections. When I tried to contact support I was 1 hour past the 7 day timeline, so they won't do anything about it. Life is busy with work, so I didn't have time to wait on the phone for someone until then. Big bummer. Now I have to pay out of pocket to fix something on a new car. Had an oil leak first day, due to their mechanics not properly tightening the oil drain plug, so had to get an inspection the next day, after having to buy oil to add to the car to be able to drive it. It was just leaking out onto my driveway, and presumably their truck without any awareness on their end. Other buyers, go take your car for a wash, and inspect it everywhere so this doesn't happen to you too. Customer service is automated replies, even with humans.

    Overall it was a great experience. The process was easy. I feel you valued my trade-in appropriately. The deliver driver was awesome. The only thing to improve on is when the driver arrived and I had to give him the physical insurance documents, that were uploaded and approved- he said they weren’t correct. It was 7:30 pm and I had to contact State Farm customer service as a result. It took 35 minutes to get the corrected documents. By the time the car came off the truck it was dark out and I couldn’t fully inspect the vehicle.

    SAVE YOUR MONEY, DON'T TRUST THESE PIRATES. I hope first time car buyers don't deal with the scammers of Carvana. Carvana sold me a defective car. Of course a car that didn't have problem till after the "gracious 7 day period". My car has been taken to the shop 5 times in the past 7 months and upon contacting Carvana to help me trade it in for the same value they low balled me and gave me a trade in value -$5000 less from what they sold it.... in 7 months with barely many miles added to the vehicle.

    Upon contacting them all I get back from everyone except Mr. ** is "we can't do anything", and apparently they don't have a higher up that can do anything too. I asked them further questions last night and the women said, "the cars can be defective and if they come up after the 7 day period we don't have to do anything for you." Absolute lazy pirates that claim they do multiple inspections but somehow they couldn't catch 5 problems when doing these inspections. Carvana is a joke, if you guys can I'd rather go to CarMax, Carvana is very greedy and will do the most minimal amount of work if they can get away with it.

    Overall pleasant experience. Got a great offer on a vehicle sell, beating other competitors. Afterwards, decided to take advantage of a discount offer and converted my sell to a trade. The internal Carvana "process" doesn't handle converting a sell to a trade very well. The Carvana driver and I spent almost 3 hours on a call with corp customer service trying to get the pickup of my sell and the delivery of the trade sorted. In the end, it all worked out thanks to the exceptional humans at Carvana. The driver, Adam, and customer service team lead, KJ, were some of the best folks I've ever had the pleasure of dealing with. For a tech-forward company, it's somewhat ironic that the people are the reason I'd do business with Carvana again.

    One note on vehicle quality, the car delivered to me was reasonably clean. However, it had shiny, greasy, (probably silicon based "protectant") spray all over the interior that left a greasy film on your hands whenever you touched anything. So, I had to re-clean the interior surfaces to remove the spray. Carvana could probably save some money and have cleaner interiors by skipping this application. Overall, I would do business with Carvana again, knowing that if anything goes wrong, there are some exceptional humans to make things right.

    Generally, I was very satisfied with the Carvana experience. My only caution is for prospective buyers to pay very close attention to the features / specifications on the car being purchased. I didn't notice that the vehicle I purchased was missing some features I assumed would be on it. Also, I found Sebastian, the AI support bot to be very helpful - more helpful in fact than the real person I was connected with when I had a question about license plate transfer.

    We bought a car for my daughter. It had a multitude of problems including the check engine light coming on. We exchanged it for another car. The second car wasn’t even road worthy. The check engine light came on within a few minutes of leaving Carvana. The car stopped running in the middle of the road. Obviously, the car was in no way inspected before it was sold. It created a very dangerous situation for my young daughter. BEWARE!

    I’m a repeat Carvana customer. I have been raving for the past week about the Exemplary Service and great product quality. What brought me back is I saw a minivan from Carvana and noticed how new and free of scratches it looked. The Mustang I bought a few years ago had a lot of scratches that I had buffed out. That was a fast buy. I originally bought an Audi A5. It leaked oil all over my garage. Called them a few days later and they delivered a Mustang I chose under time constraints. The Mustang is great for someone in their 20’s or 30’s. I'm a real young 55 and I felt I was too old to be driving that. I saw the Nautical Blue 4 Runner and Loved it! A few days later I went there to pick it up. Courteous and respectful sales administration. It was a fast organized process and I walked away on top of the world. Thank you Carvana!!

    Terrible experience with my second Carvana purchase. My first purchase was a 2024 Ford Expedition with only 200 miles. A few days after I got it, I noticed that part of the front door, panel, handle, and mirror had been repainted after what looked like significant damage. The paint job was terrible and easy to see in the right light. I caught it quickly, took it to a shop, and Carvana covered having it repainted. I would have given that experience about 4 stars. My second purchase was a 2025 Buick Enclave with about 26,000 miles that was previously a rental. The pictures missed some pretty bad cosmetic damage. There is about a 1 inch by 1 inch gouge in the front bumper that looks like someone filled it with fiberglass and put white paint over it. I sent pictures to SilverRock and they denied the claim. I wasn't happy about it, but I decided it wasn't enough to return the car.

    The next morning I got a low tire pressure warning on the right rear tire. I immediately opened a claim and took the car to a SilverRock in-network repair shop. They took pictures, did a soap test, and told me one tire needed to be replaced immediately and wasn't safe to drive on. They also said the tires looked like they had never been rotated in 26,000 miles and the tread was very uneven. SilverRock denied the claim. I called SilverRock and they told me the repair shop wasn't cooperating with them and suggested I take it somewhere else. So I took it to a second repair shop. They also told me one of the tires needed to be replaced. They spent around 90 minutes on the phone with SilverRock before getting transferred and disconnected. I needed my car, so I picked it up and brought it back the next morning. They found a nail and patched it, but SilverRock still denied replacing the tire.

    At this point I was getting low tire pressure warnings almost every morning and having to put air in the tire just so I could drive my kids to school. I took it to a third tire shop. They inspected all four tires and told me three needed to be replaced. Two had tread that was too low and uneven, and another had structural or slash damage. I called Carvana and they told me to call SilverRock. I called SilverRock again. The person I talked to was actually helpful and told me that if the third shop wrote everything up and sent it in, SilverRock would replace the tires. The shop did exactly that. SilverRock denied the claim again.

    At that point I was done wasting my time and replaced all four tires myself. I went to three different repair shops, spent hours dealing with this, and kept getting sent back and forth between Carvana and SilverRock. Several people at the repair shops also told me they hate dealing with SilverRock because claims are constantly denied or repairs get delayed. I gave Carvana another chance because my first purchase worked out okay. After this experience, I would not buy another vehicle from Carvana, and I have zero confidence in the SilverRock warranty.

    Buying process was a breeze. The car I received had bad tires that were cracking with tire tread of 2/32. Carvana inspection reported tires were good and that was a lie. Post purchase inspection showed a bad battery and battery cables that were dirty and rusty and all of that needed replacing. Other than that, I am satisfied with the car as of today. I still think this car was way over priced because blue book values it at $10,100.

    Customer service was cooperative and helpful. Online ordering was pretty easy to do. They forced me to buy root insurance upon my purchase which was annoying, but I got it refunded. They delayed my pickup because they contacted my lender outside of business hours. Arranging outside financing is doable but requires you to talk to Carvana customer service and your credit union, and the steps can be difficult to understand depending on what you hear from both of them. When I got my car, the appointment was quick and easy, but there was undisclosed exterior and interior damage (light cosmetic only) and the car was incredibly dirty with dried out soda and a pungent odor. I spent 3 hours deep cleaning my car after I got it and the odor and stains are gone. Overall, Carvana is good if you need something and you don't have a ton of time to shop and you're okay with minor cosmetic defects.
