    Firstly I am the current owner of a Carvana vehicle. Told everyone from friends and family how quick, easy and painless the process was. When it came time for my wife to purchase a newer vehicle I talked her into going the Carvana route. The two experiences could not have been more different. Vehicle was misrepresented on their website, both in the description and using the filter. Vehicle was listed as 3rd row seating, it was delivered on time but missing the listed 3rd row. The Carvana representative that delivered the vehicle reassured us that Carvana would make it right, which I believed as my past experience was positive. As this vehicle is on a universal frame that already has the bolt pattern for the third row installed we offered to pay for a mechanic to install it if they would pay the 300 dollars for the seat and bracket. After a few phone calls and a lot of lip service they did offer a 100 dollars for the inconvenience.

    I have already paid the prorate on my 6 month insurance policy, as directed to do for the drop off, so keeping the vehicle is in my best interest also. They will have to pay for the pick up and delivery of another vehicle or to get our trade in back to us. This is another problem with their business model, along with others list on the BBB, it's more expensive to keep transporting vehicles back and forth than the cost of an advantages solution for both parties. I as well as most people would be fired form my job for not taking the cheaper option for my company and keeping the client happy.

    So I echo what a lot of these reviewers have said. Buyer beware. If you want to be lied to and play bait and switch games stick to the old buy here pay here lots. At least you can see the vehicle before you buy it or pay to switch insurance on it. Expected more from this company, you have lost yet another retuning customer over a minor fix. Keep up the good work Carvana.

    My wife and I purchased a 2019 Hyundai Tuscon from Carvana last week. When it was delivered we were so excited. They Delivered the vehicle at 7 pm and gave us 15 min to test drive. The Vehicle drove great so we signed and were done. The next day I go out to check out the vehicle (since it was dark and raining the night before. I was shocked how filthy everything was inside of the vehicle.

    In the space tire compartment I found an old Enterprise rental agreement and a used tampon, Uhh... when I looked inside of the vehicle it was disgusting, food all over the back seats, straw wrappers under the seats. Needless to say I called to inform them of the problem. The first person I spoke with calmed me down and reassured me they would cover the cost to have it detailed and she would call me back to iron out the details. Didn't hear anything so I called back. The second person informed me they would not cover the cost of a full detail and disinfecting, But credit me $100. With everything going on I can not believe they would not clean a car before delivering.

    My son found a 2014 VW Jetta SportWagen on Carvana that he decided to order. Process to order was easy, customer service rep was friendly, and car was going to be delivered in 2 days. Great! And then the car arrived. It had damage that was not photographed in their listing and whoever did the detail job did a horrible job. But that actually turned out to be a good thing because we were able to figure out the car appears to have been involved in some sort of shooting. First my son noticed paint overspray on the driver’s side window and that the moulding on the door was newly painted. There was also a dent in the moulding where it was newly painted. Then I got in the vehicle and noticed there was blood splattered on the headliner above the rear passenger door!

    The delivery driver wouldn’t admit that that was what it was but it was obvious. Needless to say, my son rejected the car. It’s really unfortunate that Carvana’s ethics suck because the buying process was really easy...the only reason I gave them 2 stars. I will never buy a car from them though and my son has decided not to as well. What a waste.

    I was rear ended in the end of January and it left me with a totaled car and a concussion. I needed to purchase a car quickly because the rental was expiring and I needed transportation to and from work. I looked to Carvana and found what I thought was a decent car. My insurance check was the down payment for this brick. First, it was delayed and I was notified 40 minutes before scheduled delivery. I was told it was because they were changing the battery and the repair workers didn't report it correctly. 10 days in the battery dies, they tow it to a repair facility (Firestone) and the technician tells me the battery is from 2017. He also tells me to pay attention to the rust under the hood. Then came time to do my state inspection at AAA. I almost failed because the bulbs were no good, but I had them changed out and passed. However, the technician told me and wrote on the bill that he believes the car was underwater due to the EXCESSIVE amount of rust and evidence of WATER DAMAGE that he saw. He brought me in to show me the car and it was horrible. I called them and sent over the photos the technician sent to me with all of the documents. These people proceeded to try to tell me that this was normal rust because the car was from PA. I lived in PA for the past 20 years and have had two used cars, neither EVER looked like the Legacy. And the cars I had before this one were older and of lesser quality. They tried to tell me the damage could have been due to snow and salt , that the car rust was acceptable to them, the car is up to "carvana standards" and that I need to get a diagnostic. I get a diagnostic done at a third part, Meineke, and the DIAGNOSTIC TECHNICIAN said "it appears to me that this car has been underwater due to the amount of uniform rust under the car" he also noted the amount of rust on pulleys, struts etc. At this point we were in contact with a supervisor and manager and the supervisor proceeded to push, even with the diagnostic in her hand, that it may have been due to salt and snow. The manager stated That we would have to have ANOTHER inspection by another third party inspector. He would come to our complex's parking lot and inspect the car there. As if this would be even close to the full diagnostic done at Meinieke and state inspection done at AAA where the technician took the car apart and had the car up in the air. The other option would be to coat the car so the rust doesnt get worse. This car was NEVER advertised as flooded or as is (carfax said it wasn't in a flood too) and has obvious damage that three different professionals speculated and confirmed that it was water/flood damage. Most were third party technicians, Firestone was the repair facility of Carvana's choice and even he pointed out the rust under the hood, but neither were my personal mechanic,it was multiple PROFESSIONALS and Carvana had the inspection results that said the car had more than likely been underwater. I demanded they take the car and refund my money so that I can find an actual car that isn't going to have a million and one problems (all of this happened within the span of 2 ish months) and that will have a future since im putting in 17k on this thing. 150 point inspection but they somehow missed the 2017 dead battery, weak light bulbs and the rust from water damage/flooding that has severely effected the cars whole foundation. On top of that, the cars bumper was recently poorly painted but according to Carvana hasn't been through an accident or flood. I never asked to be rear ended at 80 mi/hr by some crazed lady. I never asked to have my car totaled which would have ran for more years to come despite being an '08 PA used car. I gave them a down payment over what they were asking and am still current on the payments for a car I no longer use. I respect the law and I did everything right with the intention of just getting proper transportation so that I can work and be independent again. I am a single mother who has nobody but my daughter in this country. It has been nothing but blood in this situation. This has taken so much time from me and her. She works so much and is in school and I work and we have to spend all this time with these people while they try to lie and cheat their way to keep me with this fraud. Time that is taken away from her being able to sleep and study. She comes in from two shifts with a pale face and is barley able to keep her eyes open but we have to sort this situation out. It has been constant phone calls and tests and repairs since this car got here. All I want back is the money I gave them for this car I bought under false pretenses and the money they promised to give back for the tests/repairs in exchange for the car. Steer clear of these people, they value nothing and only care about money. Please be unreasonably per cautious so that your family doesn't have to go through what my family is going through. Stay safe and don't let monstrous corporations like this steal your valuable time and hard earned money. This company is a fraud, they broke the law by not advertising flood damage/overcharging, are irresponsible and reckless, careless and I just hope that everyone stays safe and vigilant when It comes to buying a vehicle this way. That goes for Carvana and any other online car dealership. But better yet, stay away from online dealerships if possible. At the very least protect yourself, your family and your assets because these people will suffocate every cent out of you if they get the chance.

    Damage to vehicle that was not indicated. Upon The vehicle being delivered there were a few items that were not indicated on the website. Number one they drove the vehicle to me instead of delivering it via a U-Haul. Also one of the turn signals was not working and there was a scratch on the hood and on another area vehicle that was not indicated on the original ad. They did fix the turn signal however they are fighting me in reference to the damage. Indicating that maybe I caused the damage. I have two witnesses that this is not the case that the vehicle came and was delivered that way. I am working with the Better Business Bureau however I have not heard the final results. I would just advise you to look over the vehicle closely and if there’s other damage were not aware of to not accept delivery of the vehicle. Also if the vehicle has any other aftermarket equipment on it will not be included on their warranty.

    Carvana promises an experience like a dealership but their 150 point check did not identify impact damage to items under the hood. They also sold the car with nearly bald tires and a misrepresentation of the warranty. When I called to make this right, their customer service representative was completely unsympathetic and unhelpful. BEWARE and do not buy Carvana.

    The initial process started off great. We picked 1 vehicle but didn't care for it. We chose a 2nd vehicle which was delivered on 12/21. They didn't do the inspection on the vehicle so we got it done within 2 days and returned it via FedEx with the envelope they provided. Then we received the registration papers, signed off and returned those back within 5 days. A month later we get a call regarding the registration papers... We called back and the young mas who assisted advised that they did receive the package back and there was no need for concern. Then we received a 2nd set of registration papers to complete... Was advised that the mailroom misplaced the 1st set. Signed and returned 2and set.. Temporary tag expired on 2/18/2020 so we had to pay $29.85 for another temporary tag..

    We had been advised that they would send a link to upload for us to be reimbursed... Never got the link.. Received an email on 2/19 that the registration was completed and we would receive our tags in 5-7 business days.. Called in again to inquire about the tags and was told the email we were sent was incorrect and it would take 10-15 business days because it's coming via regular mail. Temporary tag expired on the 19th of March.. Now it's 17 business days later, and we call again only to be told that we would have to go purchase replacement tags if the tags don't get here on time.... They can't order replacement tags and unfortunately Texas sends their tags out regular mail.... All I can say is this is the worst experience we have ever had with any company in general... Unorganized, unprofessional and poorly trained.. Would never purchase, refer or support anything pertaining to this company.

    I "pre-ordered" a car online. Waited 2+ weeks for Carvana to photograph the car and then agreed to purchase. Carvana ran my credit, approved my loan, had me get insurance IN ADVANCE of delivery, took my bank account info and scheduled a delivery day I agreed to. Since Carvana offered a lower price for my trade-in than CarMax, I sold my car to CarMax the day before my delivery.

    then I get a phone call and text message at 6:05am on the day of delivery (set at noon) that they are not coming. Rather, they will come two days later. I had already taken off work and had planned to leave town the next day for a wedding anniversary. I will have to rent a car now. Then they said "read page 26 of your PDF contract, we are not responsible for late deliveries...." Lovely. AVOID!

    I read a number of reviews Prior to purchasing from Carvana. It left me miserable because I found the vehicle I want but I am worried about the post-purchase experience. In this instance, my intuition was spot on. I did have an unsavory post-purchase experience with Carvana. I bought a 2018 Toyota Sienna SE. During delivery or off-load process my wife and I witnessed the front bumper lip scraped the ramp. From our distance it did not look like it was damaged. I did the visual inspection and asked the field rep if I can do a test drive. He responded that I have only 5 mins since he is doing another delivery. Actually, when I was closing the sale I was told that I have 15 mins to do a road test.

    When I arrived home I happened to do another visual examination. At this point I noticed the damage on the front bumper lip. When I looked closely, the damaged was more extensive than a “level 1 cosmetic defect”. I took the vehicle to a repair shop and it will cost me approx $800 to fix it. I reported it to carvana and they offered me $100 as an assessment for this “cosmetic defect”. I was told by Carvana that the field rep was very careful during delivery but he does not have any proof since he did not take any pics which I found out later he should have done.

    Again, I should have triple-checked everything before I even closed the sale. Even the description available online. Because I missed the part as well that reflects it has ONLY 1 SET OF KEYS. A new set of Keys costs me $239 (steep even with a military discount). Communication with Carvana ended with them sending me a $100 check and telling me there is nothing they can do. It is true that I can still return the van...but they failed to see that it is less expensive for them to just double the check they are sending me. There is no way they could offer the same van at the price I paid for it. Oh well... Will I recommend Carvana...possibly no after this experience. CAVEAT EMPTOR!!!

    My girlfriend bought a used 2018 Toyota Prius Prime from Carvana. When they delivered the car, they didnt have car charging cord that all Prius Primes include as standard equipment. The vehicle manual was also missing. Both items were noticed and inquired about with the Carvana rep who delivered the car. The Carvana rep said she would make sure we got both items. We called Carvana and they basically said they werent going to do anything about it. I would not recommend using this place to buy a car. You go through all the credit checks and your score takes a hit and then they dont deliver the vehicle with the standard equipment that is suppose to be included. They also lie and tell you what you want to hear until the 7 day return period is ended then they dont do what they said they would do.

    We sold our 2016 GMC Canyon and Carvana was $1000-1800 higher with their offer than local car dealers offers. It’s worth your time to give them a chance to make an offer on your vehicle. This vehicle was enhanced with a Line X bed liner and Tonneau cover and was only serviced at the dealership. Carvana was fair and honest to deal with and they had payment ready for us when they came to pick up the vehicle and the vehicle finance company received the remaining pay off for the vehicle right at the 7 day mark that was told to us. We are very happy with this company and would recommend them to friends and family! Thank you Carvana! Would work with you again!

    Let me try and be brief:

    1) Car purchased/delivered on 12/20/2019.
    2) Current date 02/20/2020.

    3) Status - Registration Plates and Title STILL NOT RECEIVED.

    Bottom Line: You cannot trust ANYTHING that the blokes on the Customer Service Line tell you. You should RUN from this company. Now the story. The company sends the car with temp plates. They have a turn around time of 30 days to get the registration processed. I knew that if bought from a dealer it takes less than a week to get the registration done. But yeah, since the temp plates are valid for a month, I was willing to live with it.

    My 1st temp plate was valid till 02/02/2020. When I did not get the plates by 01/15/2020, I gave the "Customer Service" a call. Was told everything was in "order" and I should call them back if I did not have the plates by 02/01/2020. Lo n behold my registration plates did not come by 01/02/2020. So I called them again. This time they told me that they did not have a "Power of Attorney" to process the registration and were going to send me the same and a second temporary registration plate by overnight FedEx. The next day the Fedex did come but it only had a temporary registration plate and no "Power of Attorney" for me to sign and send back.

    So I called them again on 02/03/2020. Now they told me that it's not the "Power of Attorney" that was a problem but my insurance proof (which I had provided when they delivered the vehicle) and a "Bank Lien Document". These I uploaded to their website the very same day. I called again on 02/04/2020 to confirm that the documents were in order. I was told that they were and that they were sending them over to the DMV for processing. And I should expect the registration plate and title within 10 working days. I called them again on 02/06/2020 to enquire about the status. They said that the documents had been sent over. I asked twice whether the documents were at DMV or with Carvana and they told me twice that the documents had been sent over to DMV and I would get the plates and title within 10 days

    The plates did not arrive and so I called them again on 02/18/2020. This time I was told that the documents were with the vendor. This was the 1st time that a "vendor" was mentioned. So I asked what vendor. They said that there is a 3rd party vendor that deals with the registration locally at the local DMV. I asked to speak with the vendor and they said that the vendor is not "client facing" and I could not talk to them. I had lost it by this time and asked to speak to a line manager. I was told he (a certain Henry C) was not available and that they would ask him to call back by EOD. Then I asked them to call the vendor and confirm that they had the documents and were processing them. The bloke on the phone made me hold the line for a few minutes and then returned and confirmed that he had spoken to the vendor and that the vendor was processing them. I did not receive a call back from Henry by EOD.

    I called them again on 02/19/2020 asking about the status. The agent on the other end now said that Carvana was "going to" send the documents to the vendor. He was really very apologetic. I asked to speak to a line manager again and they guy said he would get him to call me back. This time I did receive a call back from the fabled Mr Henry C a couple of hours later. He said that Carvana had dropped the ball and he was going to get an internal audit done to find out where and how. I asked him to expedite the matter and he said that he would. He said that I would receive an email status update regarding each step in the process. I received no such email. I asked him to pick up the phone and call the vendor and he said he would.

    I called them again this morning 02/20/2020. I was told that the notes on my case said that the documents were sent over yesterday and a "expedited processing request" was sent in just 3 hrs back. I asked the agent to call up the vendor a confirm the status. This agent said that he did not have the number to call the vendor. I asked him whether his colleagues the previous days had been lying to me when they told me they were calling the vendor and put me on hold and he said "I wasn't part of those conversations". I asked to speak with Henry since I wanted to know why the "expedited processing request" was sent on 02/20/2020. Henry was "unavailable". Stay posted for updates....

    I was looking to sell my car and obtained a quote on the Carvana website. The quote was acceptable, but nothing great. I decided to go ahead and accept the offer with an expiration date seven days later. When I went back to the site the next day after receiving the offer to upload the required documents, it asked for me to reenter the VIN number and mileage of the car. I did and the mileage had increased by 6 miles. The site then produced a new lower offer, even though my original offer had not expired.

    I called the customer service number to try to figure out why I am now being offered less for my car than what was originally accepted and they said it was because the mileage changed. I couldn't believe that 6 additional miles would lower the offer by $116.00. They said it made a difference and they were no longer willing to honor the unexpired original offer. I explained that I would have to drive the car to deliver it to them since they were out of my area, so how can I be sure of what I am going to get for my car. The rep told me that the offer was made for the original mileage and any miles will alter the offer. I feel this is deceptive and dishonest! You don't know how much you will truly get from selling your vehicle until you show up.

    The shopping and financing went smooth. Pick up day came and my car was absolutely filthy and gross, the girl who helped me said I could come back for a wash, wow thanks. Looking at it the next day in the light and realized in no way have they ever washed or prepped the car for sale. It was as if the previous owner traded it in dirty and they passed it on to me, even the inside of the windshield has a gross film on it and the seats disgusting.

    I took the car to my local and trusted mechanic for a once over, they discovered the car was at the low level mark on the dip stick (although the oil was new or fresh) the battery was not secured in the tray (completely unsafe) and the fog light had a major crack in it which was not reported on the damage in the listing. They also discovered the blend door for the heater was inoperative, this is being addressed through silver rock with no Co-pay (thank goodness but still a hassle). This so far has been a complete let down, did they even do the 150 point inspection......I doubt it. Make this right!

    Was a great process to buy the car, but like many others they dropped the ball on the registration process. I was not alerted to problems they may have had and on the day the temporary plate expired I called them (or tried to - the registration problems phone number does not work). So I chatted with them. Once I ditched the dumb bot, they told me that they'd made some sort of error and told me to go to the DMV to get temporary plates. It's not my fault but I had to take two hours out of my day before a holiday weekend! Ridiculous.

    At the DMV they researched the VIN and told me in no uncertain terms that Carvana hadn't filed what they needed to do and that they needed to sort out the problem. They refused the plates. Being caught between an online dealer -- quickly becoming the same as an IRL dealer - and everyone's favorite government agency is the most horrible experience and I frankly feel like Carvana just wanted to shift the effort to me. So, I'm back with Carvana trying to get help. I've gone from being an advocate for them to warning everyone that they're not ready for prime time.

    Several years ago, I had a less than stellar experience with Carvana which took a long time to straighten out. Ultimately, I loved my car and knew some people who had not awful experiences so was willing to give another try. Purchased a 2018 BMW on a Friday with delivery the following Wednesday. I had delivery delays the last time, so decided to take the day off of work to enjoy my new purchase and not be rushed. Less than an hour before delivery, they called and said that the car was significantly more damaged than the pictures showed, they wouldn’t repair the car because the car was listed as “small scratches” or something (but was heavily scratched on the hood) and they could bring it by, but I wouldn’t want it.

    Also, I could take possession with a 7-day trial, but when I asked him whether there were any fees, he (the Carvana man, who called me) said I’d have to call headquarters as he didn’t know (note- I knew, because there was a glitch in the system which required that I sign the contracts at least 4 times, so I read them 4 separate times). He canceled the order and I placed another order for another, much more expensive car (with more miles too). Delivery was scheduled for today. Stupidly, I took yet another day off of work... and- it happened again. A very snarky girl called me the morning of delivery. Again. And said, this time, that despite me placing the order nearly 2 weeks ago, the car wasn’t ready. I explained that I had now taken 2 days out of work for these 2 delays. She told me that it was 1 delay. She was wrong.

    I asked for compensation for my 2 days of lost work (why couldn’t they call me the day before either time??) and she snarkily said that of course she would offer compensation but would have to put me on hold first to reschedule my delivery for days from now. She came back on, and told me she would offer me $25 per day for the delay, for a total of $75. It’s the second delay, and that’s 11 days, not 3. That’s $275, not $75. And 2 days of lost work is way more than that. Messed up in 2016, but fixed it. Damaged car in 2020 and then delayed delivery a week later? No. After the first issue, one of my friends asked whether this was really better than dealing with a dealership. I can say for sure now, after 2 missed deliveries, that I have learned my lesson.

    Updated review: Feb. 13, 2020

    After calling back and talking to a rational supervisor, I was able to convince Carvana documentation submitted was adequate. Changing overall experience to positive but Carvana should re-evaluate their policy on documents.

    Original Review: Feb. 13, 2020

    There is nothing convenience about Carvana. Nothing. My legal name is Stephen yet use Steve interchangeably. Not the first, right... My title is name of Steve (not the first time), and my DL is Stephen. Any time this has occurred with real companies, I simply show proof it’s me or sign a simple affidavit. Pretty basic. Not Carvana. There only suggestion was to go and update my title or love this one, go update my DL. Yes, they actually said this. Ridiculous.

    The most pathetic experience ever! I bought this car about 3 months back and let me tell you, there hasn’t been a single day where I have been satisfied with the purchase. The list of flaws is endless. I chose this one from their website because it had the least mileage, only 1 minor scratch on the rear bumper and had passed Carvana’s 150-point inspection.

    To begin with, the car was delivered 2 days after their delivery date, even after paying $400 for delivery. There was so much dirt inside and out, I couldn’t even see out from the windscreen. They gave me $100 for interior cleaning but, it doesn’t cover any standard interior detailing cost. The 7-day return date was also wrong in their system. It started on the day I was supposed to get the car, which I clearly didn’t. They changed that after I had to ask them twice. There were so many issues with the car, which wasn’t mentioned on their website. I pointed it out on the first day itself.

    I was given two choices – either to return the car but lose on my delivery charge or they assured, they’ll take care of the issues. I opted for the later one and thought it’d be good to get it fixed and not lose on my $400 as well. As I desperately needed a car. They started with discarding a lot of the things I pointed out, saying it’s normal wear and tear. They agreed to fix the rest. I had to do rounds of two workshops – a body shop and an authorized dealership to get the quote on the damages. Run it through them. Constantly talk to their so called “Customer Advocate” and their warranty provider SilverRock.

    After lots of to and fro, and getting few things changed on the quote (for which, I had to do rounds of the repair shops and constant calls with them), they agreed to pay for it. The car was at the body shop for nearly a month because of the holiday season and waiting on parts. After a month of not having my newly purchased car, the body shop fixed the damages and handed the car back. I was allowed to have a rental for that period, but they only cover $40 a day. There was a time when my expenses went over $40 including the Uber rides, and they declined to reimburse the additional expenses. Have I had my car, I definitely wouldn’t have to go through this pain and loss of money.

    Now the other issue that happened was of the car registration. I was constantly in touch with Carvana customer support saying that I haven’t received my registration papers but, I was always told to relax and that, I’ll receive it in time. One employee even went ahead to tell me that I’ll directly receive the license plates without signing any documents. And as expected, they failed to send me the documents. It was when my temporary number expired and I told them again, is when they realized and sent me the documents. Now after receiving the documents, I was given a strict turnaround time because they had to pay for a rental for me since I couldn’t drive my car with an expired number.

    Since it was a holiday time, I had prior plans. After a lot of calls with them, they agreed to extend the deadline a little but with a disclaimer, if I failed to turn in the documents before that, I’ll have to pay for the rental out of my pocket. All this suffering for their lack of responsibility to send me the documents in time. Well, out of the fear of bearing expenses again from my pocket, I had to follow their deadline.

    After all this hustle, I took the car to the Chevrolet authorized dealership to get the mechanical issues fixed. And the car was in such a mess that the authorized dealership is still trying to fix it. Even they are not able to fix the car and don’t understand what the issue is. Now again it has been about two weeks and the car is still at the workshop. They have fixed part of the issues but, still figuring out some issues.

    Out of the three months of ownership of this car, I don’t remember even a single month where I had the car with me. I feel like I’m just donating the money I pay in installments in the last 3 months. I also don’t understand what kind of 150-point inspection do they perform because the car is clearly out of shape. And let me tell you, there wasn’t any other problem that I found later. All these issues that are still getting fixed, are the ones I noticed on day 1.

    I’d strongly suggest not to opt for Carvana. The number one reason being, there isn’t a physical entity, or a single person you can go to and hold responsible. Their staff is clearly not at par. You also have to explain yourself every time you talk to them because, it’s a new person as always. I might have invested close to 40 hours in just dealing with their Customer support on call, chat and e-mails. Then it was the warranty provider SilverRock on call and e-mails. Then it was the body shop on calls, e-mails and in-person. And then it was the authorized dealership on calls, e-mails and in-person. And yes, also the rental car agency visits, the waiting for pick-ups and drops. The cancelation of your plans. Because as per Carvana’s behavior, it feels as if they think I don’t have a personal or professional life and I have all this free time to invest dealing with them.

    I’ve become a fool in front of my friends who constantly tease me for buying a piece of crap. Even the workshop guys have seen me so often in the shop that they pity me now. I could go on and on about this and there are certainly more things to say but, I’ve already written a lot and so I’d like to stop. It was my worst decision to get a car through Carvana. I highly regret it now.

    I purchased a used 2017 Mazda 6 from Carvana with only 20k miles on it which arrived 4 days ago. First item to not me is if you finance through a 3rd party, you will not receive your car in 48 hours as advertised. That process takes much longer and will be several days. Carvana says they do a thorough 150 point inspection... I took it to a mechanic I trust to get another pre-purchase inspection. Turns out I had extremely dirty oil, my car battery isn’t functioning properly which caused a ton of codes to be pulled up, and my cabin air filter is in need of replacement. What a horrible inspection job they did! I had to jump through all kinds of hoops to get the oil change reimbursed and not even sure they will cover the cabin air filter. I haven’t received the check yet for the oil change, so we will see if they follow through.

    I don’t understand how something basic like an oil change isn’t even done and the scary thing is they documented the oil as being changed! This is shady and unacceptable in my opinion. If you do go with Carvana, immediately take it to get an inspection done. I ended up having to go to the dealership since the battery was causing codes to malfunction and my original mechanic wasn’t sure if they were actual issues or just due to the battery. Be very careful as Carvana wasn’t nearly as helpful as I would have hoped they would be! I wasted an entire day that I ended up having to take off of work because I was trying to get these issues resolved before the 7 day window lapses in case the issues were serious. Please be careful!!

    I have purchased many new and used vehicles in my life, and the one thing I dread is spending hours at the dealer, so I wanted to give Carvana a chance. The process of looking, buying, picking up, etc. was great. The nightmare began after I picked up my vehicle. After ten days, the engine light lit up, and then a few days after the brake light. I made all of the calls I needed to make and had to wait for the day of my appointment. The engine light issue was covered under the BMW warranty, but the brakes were not, of course.

    CARVANA did not want to cover the expense, and neither did SilverRock stating that those are wear and tear. (I had just purchased this vehicle days ago!) The reality is that CARVANA doesn't even bother to inspect their vehicles. So, I bought this car; I had to pay $1,580.00 for brakes and still pay the first car payment. It was the worst experience I have ever had, and I will never buy from CARVANA again, nor will I recommend it. I, instead a thousand times, spend hours at the dealer knowing that I will get a vehicle that has at least been inspected. So, customer to customer DO NOT buy a vehicle from this company!

    I 1000% do not recommend this company. Here’s why: I bought a car in 2018 and the transaction was seamless. Fast forward to 2019 and they completely drop the ball In communication. As we know Carvana houses 15-20 THOUSAND cars at an offsite location. It just so happened that the car I chose was “incorrectly scanned into the wrong location (New Jersey)” 3+ weeks in a row and the only way they could seem to notify me was as I’m on my way to pick up the vehicle. I missed days of work because of this. To rectify the situation I was offered a $300 check which actually was only $100. After calling and talking to at least 3 people who did not care to correct nor inform me that it in fact was a $100 check. I’m like, “I didn’t pull this number out of my rear end.” I SPECIFICALLY heard your representative mention this $300 dollar amount.

    It’s like they have nothing better to do than to play words games and make fun of (in my case) living in an area that gets pretty cold, with a child, and walking. But since they have a 4.7 star rating they don’t care about the daily lives of people. Any sort of disruption to the non customer facing way they do things is an inconvenience to them. It sickened me to purchase a car from this company. This second experience alone makes me wish this company was not operating. They were THAT cold and deliberate in their mission of not giving a flying duck. This company is absolute trash. No one wants to sit at a dealership all day or pay for the marked up prices but I ONE MILLION PERCENT WOULD GO THAT ROUTE THAN TO DEAL WITH THIS COMPANY THAT DELIBERATELY CUTS CORNERS AND DOES NOT CARE. Do. Not. Buy. Here.

    My son bought a car from Carvana a few months ago and unfortunately I could not be present when it was delivered. A few days later I noticed the tires were mismatched and not even the correct size for the make and model. We even had a mechanic confirm the tires were mismatched. When my son called Carvana to have the situation corrected they refused to take any ownership of the problem -absolutely pathetic. I'm sorry I even referred him now especially after I had to spend $445 for 4 new tires! No worries though, there are plenty of competitors eager to have our business.

    My own experience with Carvana was also problematic in so much as they delayed delivery of my vehicle on two different dates and both times required me missing work in addition to rescheduling a trip which caused me to incur re-booking fees. I attempted to convey to two separate "Customer Advocates" of how this inconvenienced me and caused me out-of-pocket losses forcing me to re-schedule my trip but all they could do was apologize stating that's just how it is with little to no understanding of my burdens. If they can't honor the delivery date they display when you purchase a vehicle and take the credit hit they should not display it all or at least label it as an estimate.

    After receiving my 3rd delayed delivery date I was looking at a little over 3 weeks from when I signed the papers. Heck, I could get a car shipped from overseas in that timeframe. I ultimately canceled my order after receiving the 3rd delayed delivery date and chose to purchase from my local Carmax. If the individuals in this thread left their reviews on social media platforms more people will be better informed of their questionable business practices.

I kept receiving call to pay my monthly note. When they had receive a CC of 8,000 dollars. I have a difficult time with the financing company used by Carvana to send my the title of my car. I have was about to file a compliant with BBB. So I will not use that financing company again. Carvana should work with a company with good customer service to retain their reputation.

    Also from reading the reviews, I have carvana has not slacked in their customer service and integrity just because they are getting making names as the years go by and their customers have increased and for that reason they have watered down their customer service and integrity. And if they do, it will catch with them, when people beginning to have bad experience, they will stop honoring them. Also there other companies that has started vending and selling online car buying/selling. So just as anyone tried carvana, the other companies can be tried also.

    I purchased a car from Carvana, a 2017 Kia Sportage with only 12,235 miles. The purchase process was easy and I was excited to go pick up my car from the Houston, Tx vending machine. The car looked very nice inside and out when picking it up. On the drive home I noticed some shaking while applying the brakes. Pretty bad shaking, that concerned me. It was difficult to get to the right person to help me but I got set up with an NTB appointment to have the car looked at.

    The technician at the NTB actually took me under the vehicle to show me that the car had clearly been flooded/underwater. There was rust and tarnish on the engine parts. He also showed me the brake rotors which did not look good at all. To add to all of this, the technician asked, "did you check the oil?" I said, "No, I actually didn't." And when he showed me I was appalled. The oil on the dipstick looked like milk, which is probably from water damage. I called Carvana and told them to come pick up the car. I am blessed that all this came to light within the 7-day guarantee and I can put all this behind me. Please be careful purchasing from Carvana and get your own inspection in the 7 day period.

    I just bought a beautiful RR Velar from Carvana and I would recommend the experience to anyone that is thinking about using Carvana to buy their next car. I have to be honest, I was skeptical and my girlfriend tried to talk me out of it, however I found a great deal and I was willing to take a chance largely in part to their return policy and warranty. The buying process itself was very clear, easy, and straightforward. In fact, I would say it was superior to a traditional car dealer transaction. There was no haggling and paperwork was simple. Everything was done online.

    Everything was smooth and perfect until I got the car delivered. Unfortunately there were some undisclosed cosmetic issues with the vehicle which I was not expecting. Although I was a bit annoyed, a quick call to Carvana eased all doubts. They were professional in handling the issues, and took care of all of them in a manner which I believe was representative of good customer service. The claims with Carvana’s insurance provider were quickly approved and I am getting the issues fixed. I am very satisfied with how that was handled. Long story short, I am happy with the whole purchase overall, and even though there were some minor issues I believe Carvana dealt with them properly. I ended up keeping the car and I recommend Carvana to anyone on the lookout for a car.

    They have the Worst customers service. The don't honor their warranty. The 7 days shouldn't include holidays, weekends or how long it for the car to sits at the mechanic shop. They blame the customer for their problem they create. I bought the car on 23 December 2019 with the check engine light on. The sale person told me that Carvana mechanic couldn't figure it out. So I trust the salesperson that I should that it to a specialty mechanic and it could be fixed. I took the car to a specialty mechanic. They said it can only be fixed by dealership. Sliver Rock wouldn't guarantee it would be covered under warranty. Carvana said they had a special team that handles this type situations like mine.. but Carvana wouldn't guarantee they would cover it. I could not get the car in the 7-day window to the mechanic due to closed for Christmas holidays... was told it would affect the coverage.

    I talk to the customer service manager. He said I should sell the car. Never do business with a company that does not stand by their warranty and does not make exceptions because of holidays and time in the shop that the customer can't control. Email. And for the phone manager that I talked to today that told me I should sell the car, that I just bought from Carvana should be fired or reprimanded for suggesting such an outlandish statement. He is the ideal of very poor customer management service. The car has been sitting at a mechanic shop longer than I have had in my possession. He should be ashamed of himself.

    I filled out an online appraisal with Carvana and they appraised my car to be worth 5,683 dollars. I agreed to the proposed amount and set up a date to drop the car off to them. I was told I could use that value as a down payment on a car, and it showed as a credit in my profile. When I viewed any car, the credit was applied to the price. Then once their Black Friday sale began (they were offering 1,000 off all vehicles) the credit disappeared and when I attempted to do the redo the appraisal process, they now said my car was worth 3,400. The initial appraisal was two days prior and I used the exact same information.

    When I called in they stated that the amount changed due to a change in mileage, but I submitted the second appraisal with the exact same mileage as the first (105,115). After talking with them over the phone they stated that they would not honor the original offer that we had both agreed on; and after pleading my case they stated that they would up the offer to 4,000 (1,683 less than the original offer). This was an intentional attempt to draw me in, then give me a much different offer. If I would have agreed to sell them my car at the amount they now want to offer, I would have been cheated out of over 1,600 dollars.

When I contacted them, they are offering $100 for the missed information. What if a pricier part was missing that costs thousands and all they offer is $100 for luxury car.

My car arrives after 14 days of "Shipping". (In October) With two flat tires. Just dropped off, no delivery whatsoever. Since it too such a long time to ship, my 7 day test drive had expired. After informing the staff several times about this issue, no one corrected the 7 day timeframe to my knowledge, nor offered to correct the two flat tires I sent pictures of.

    Then, withheld my temporary plates for 14 days, (which would not allow any test drive of the car whatsoever) because they "Lost my paperwork". After re-submitting the paperwork at least 3 times, they finally released my temporary plates so I could test drive, only to then refuse any repairs to the car. I was able to drive the car for two weeks, until those temporary plates ran out---Only to be told I would need to just wait on the actual plates to arrive. WELL----It has been 4 months! 4 months of constant phone calls, chats, and constant request to expedite this.

    Carvana graciously offered to reserve me a rental car at a location over 4 hours away! (After requesting them to relocate reservation, I was denied.) After arriving to the rental car location, they didnt have my reservation information from carvana properly, and would not supply a car. So I drove home---another 4 hours with no car.

    This company has been nothing short of a nightmare. I wouldn't even tell my worst enemy to buy a car from Carvana. Let's start from the beginning, shall we?

    I purchased a 2016 Mazda CX-5 on 8/2/19. The online transactions went smoothly but things began to fall apart when the delivery date came. I was scheduled to pick up my car on 8/2/19 at 4:00pm at the Gaithersburg location. About 2 hours before delivery I received a call from Carvana saying that delivery would be delayed because the vehicle failed Maryland State Inspection due to the brakes. (FYI, the car was advertised as having brand new brakes) I needed the vehicle 8/2 because I was heading out on a road trip on 8/3 so this presented a big issue.

    I chatted in with a rep and kept pushing the issue that they needed to get this resolved ASAP as I needed the vehicle for the 3rd. After a lot of back and forth with the chat agent I was told there was absolutely no way I could have the vehicle that day and the EARLIEST I could have it was 10am on the 3rd. I got a phone call around 5:30pm from the Gaithersburg store saying my car was ready?! I live about 45 minutes from Gaithersburg and it was a Friday evening but I hopped in the car to get there before they closed at 7pm. The guy I dealt with at the store was friendly enough and the car was fine so I thought we were good to go. I inquired about transferring my registration from the vehicle I traded in and they said it would not be an issue. I had read reviews previously saying that the registration process was sometimes problematic but I tried to remain positive.

    I was told that registration could take between 30 and 45 days depending on the STATE. The Carvana Owners Dashboard on their website had a countdown (I believe the countdown started at 30, could've been 45) of when you should expect your registration. Well the time expired on the countdown and I contacted them asking what the deal was. The chat reps insisted that it's possible that MD is slower than other states when it comes to registration and that I shouldn't worry. According to the rep all of my documentation was fine and they didn't need anything from me. I asked if it was possible for me to just go to the MVA and take care of it myself so I could be done with the waiting to which they responded that I could not because I financed through them so they had to do the registration.

    On September 19th (48 days after purchase) I received an email from the registration department at Carvana asking me to provide proof of insurance because the initial proof of insurance had lapsed (my auto insurance renewed on September 16th). I was pretty peeved considering they specifically told me I would have my registration WITHIN a 30-45 day window YET this was just proof that they DID NOT EVEN SUBMIT THE PAPERWORK until I had the car for 48 days.... (To make matters worse, I had to continue to carry insurance on the X-Terra I traded in until I got the updated registration...) So their constant responses I got blaming the state of Maryland were all lies. I submitted the proof of insurance and like magic, I got the registration 2 days later.

    I thought I was finally in the clear but started receiving emails from the MVA saying they got a notice from my insurance company that I dropped insurance on my Xterra (the vehicle I traded in) and that my registration and license could be suspended for driving without insurance... I submitted the Bill of Sale to the MVA and followed up with a call. The MVA indicated that they did not have the CX-5 on record and that the XTerra was still showing registered to me but they said it can take 4-6 weeks for their information to update so I didn't worry too much about it.

    This week (November 11) I received a letter from my insurance company stating that I no longer held insurance on my Xterra and that the MVA can suspend my registration and/or license because of it. I contacted the MVA on November 14 to inquire whether or not my CX-5 is showing registered to me... Spoiler alert, it isn't. They are still showing I have the XTerra.

    When I explained my situation I was told that the MVA could've returned my registration paperwork to Carvana due to missing information but they wouldn't have that documented so they suggested I contact Carvana. SO I contact Carvana and they tell me there is nothing on their end and the MVA probably screwed up and told me to call the MVA....again. So I did and man am I glad I did. I spoke with a titling specialist who indicated that she could see Carvana began the paperwork but never completed the sale. She said it could've been due to them not submitting the right funds with the paperwork or something else. The woman I spoke with escalated the issue to another person in titling to see if they had more insight on why the title was never completed.

    I received a phone call from the MVA clerk, Lorrel (God bless this woman and her investigation skills) who informed me that Carvana never completed the transaction. The sale never happened. I got back in touch with Carvana and explained to them what the MVA was seeing. I provided the name of the MVA clerk and her phone number if they needed further guidance. Lo and behold the Carvana people voided, yes VOIDED the transaction. So a very long story short I have a car I've been driving around for months that apparently does not belong to me and has plates on it that used to belong to my xterra, basically a stolen vehicle.

    I was told that they were resolving the issue and resubmitting the documentation immediately and that they would overnight my registration. That was yesterday. Today Hillary from Gaithersburg called me to give me some more bad news. Her bad news is that the MVA is saying the registration was not submitted within the allowed 90 days of purchase, thus another inspection would need to be done. Hillary assured me she would call the MVA branch manager to plead her case but that's where we are right now.

    I am at my wits end with this company. I explained to Hillary that I'm basically driving a stolen vehicle and if I were to get pulled over this could be a HUGE issue to which she replied "yea that is a problem." I explained to her that this has been a nightmare since day 1 and I wished I never bought a vehicle from them to which she replied "well this happened because of one small mistake." ONE SMALL MISTAKE!? This company doesn't take responsibility for ANYTHING they do. I am honestly besides myself.

    When we contacted Carvana they said they were sorry for the mistaken annotation on the vehicle but they would not compensate us. I feel this is false advertising. We paid a $ amount based on the product that was advertised and now we do not have that product. We would not have paid that much for this truck if we had known it was a short bed truck. Carvana needs to step up and do the right thing. They need to reimburse us the difference between a short bed and long bed truck value. This is bad business practices.

    Carvana. Sep 25, 2019. ** "Bait and switch". I purchased a car from them online and photos don't show all the damages, I get a call that they damaged car in transport when I get there to pick it up they say "don't worry, I will take photos and they will fix it" as well as additional damage. The problem is they don't fix it. I then decided to swap for another car but a day later after signing contracts they call and say they need more money down, so I said just leave it alone. I will keep the original car until I find one that fits with down payment, in the meantime they had to rebuild the original car and it ended up putting me out of the 7 day return period. Very dishonest and deceptive car dealer.

    Lack of communication about contracting out financing. Apparently, I was suppose to receive a "blue folder" when the vehicle was delivered. I did not receive this folder. Secondly, I was apparently told (although perhaps I am losing my mind) but have no record of being told that the finance company was not something they actually do...although this is what is advertised on their website. There isn't any mention of a 3rd party financing. It is assumed I will know that they don't do their own in house financing. I am not psychic. The first I heard of this company was in a text message and thought it was more telemarketers harassing me. This isn't okay. Consumers shouldn't have to try to figure out who is authentic and not. Companies should make as huge of an effort to relay the information of who the payment goes to as they do the registration. To the Consumer, it is maybe perhaps more important.

    The result of all this is the payment went to the wrong place, I had to stop payment on the address located on all my contract paper. Wait another couple of days and then resend the payment (which I haven't done yet and will take a few more days). All of this and pay $30 for the reversal/stop payment. Not acceptable, quite distressing, and obviously not a professional way to do business. Please Jesus let the powers that be read this complaint, and if you are serious about selling cars online you better make this change. NOW.

    This has become anxiety producing and overall doesn't bode well for the peacefulness of car buying over the internet. Thanks for thinking of your consumer first. Avoid this problem, make sure your contractor has time to send out snail-mail, or make sure you include this information in the registration packet. Wouldn't that just make a LOT of sense? Hire me. I'll improve your business... because right now no one answers your phones, the chat thing online is difficult and workers have too many conversations and are relying on scripts and formula pat sentences they can cut and paste. You need more telephone people and more coordination between the 3rd party vehicle delivery people, and your contract finance company.

    I like how easy it is to see everything. It was so great seeing everything I wanted in cars I was searching for; I'd never go back to the old ways again. This is such a huge step for our future and makes car buying easy! I don't know what I'd do without it now. It was such a technological advancement in today's society. Can't wait to see what the future holds now. It was recommended by so many people and I seen advertising on YouTube for it so I decided to try and I wasn't disappointed.

    I thought Carvana would be great but next time I'd rather see and drive the car before it being dropped off to me. Carvana only has locations in a few major cities. The closest one to me at the time was Atlanta Georgia. I was living in NC so decided to have them drop it off. Overall the car looked just like the pictures on the website. There were some hidden fees about how much it cost to deliver the car. So your interest rates go up slightly. Other than that, I actually think the site is amazing. Carvana has great reviews and the interest rates are great. You get to drive the car for a month and if you don't want to keep it you can return it hassle free. That's what they say anyway but I'm sure there's some type of catch.

    The overall experience was good because it could estimate how much the car I wanted cost compared to how much every other car is on the website of the choice. I like the features that show how much the payment would be per month with my credit score. But I do not like not being able to see the car I want in person until I go to the lot.

    It was a well crafted website that had plenty of options and things I could look over within it. If I could spend more time on it and view everything it had, I'm sure I could find even more to it. Overall had a great search engine that included and made certain to take into account just how many things a person might be looking forward when searching for a car. If I had to include one issue I had with the site it is the matter of finding a very special kind of car. They had me down to the brand but after that the whole process got a bit more tricky.

    The site is pretty well laid out but it could be made better as search is pretty rudimentary. Search is more company oriented than customer oriented. Other than that, customer service is pretty good as they follow up literally in real time.

    I bought a 2015 Honda Minivan. I like it. They took a month longer than advertised to get me the car. They were fine. The big problem was, I should have bought a local California Car. The car I got was from New York. It has corrosion from the salt and ice. Right now it is in the shop getting a new positive battery cable because it was corroded, loose and did not start, from the corrosion. This is not Carvana's fault, but again, I could have avoided the problem buying a local California car.

    I was looking for a 2010-2013 Automatic Toyota Corolla with a light interior (I live in Arizona where a black interior is suicide in the summer). The site would not allow searching interior color, and most of the cars that came up had black interiors. Also, some of the photos were of different cars than the car listed. One I saw was listed as automatic, but the photo showed a stick shift. I never bought from them; found the car on Autotrader.

    Eve Sleep was one of the cheaper brands and came as a set with the headboard. We really needed a mattress and we're not picky when looking - it was comfortable when we laid on it and in our price range. It is a California king size so it gives me and my fiancé enough space to spread out, plus it is long enough so his feet are not hanging off the end of the bed. However, it is a pillowtop mattress so it can't be flipped if I sweat a lot on the mattress. It also has springs in it and we are now feeling and hearing them because it is getting old.

    It’s soft and has memory foam. It doesn’t make a squeeze sound. It is good quality fabric and you can personalize it without compromising the quality. It has a good size for the family that makes it easy and comfortable especially when you lay down. It also doesn’t get less softer even if it has been years. But, the price is a little expensive but it is worth it since it last longer. You have to see the product properly to make sure there’s no tear or alteration when you buy it.

    The mattress was on sale and much more affordable compared to the other brands that were in the store. Plus other people have mentioned this brand to me before so I thought it would be a good choice if I purchased it. Although the mattress does not have any luxury or expensive features, it is good enough to sleep on and lets me sleep all throughout the entire night. It is so comfortable. I really enjoy it too because it feels so good on my back when I lay down in it and try to go to sleep at night.
