This has to be the worst buying experience I have had, and I have purchased several vehicles. I chose self financing through my own bank. Carvana gave me until 2p the next day to get my bank to write a check and to provide proof of it (pictures and tracking number for mailing). I had to miss a day of work. Then I realize I dont have a paper copy of my title for my trade-in. This isn't a problem for any other dealer. You just sign a form when trading it it. Called Carvana and they said a paper copy is required. I rush to DMV to request a new copy, missing a half day of work. I had to push out my pick up date for the car by two weeks. I receive the title and sign all the online forms. I miss another day of work to make sure my trade-in is ready to go.
As a side note, I did not get credit for any of the features on my car, such as high end speakers, car alarm, quarter flares, RS sports gauges, colorshift halo lights, etc. I was extremely underpaid for the trade-in. I ended up cleaning the car three times, so it looked nice at trade-in. The morning of my scheduled pick up, I get a text saying the pick up appointment has been postponed by two weeks. No explanation. I later receive a call explaining the car did not have stock headlights and they had to replace them. They had two extra weeks to figure this out already. I find a similar car online, but it had a shipping fee. Carvana would not waive the shipping fee. Also, all the cars on the site went down $400. I got nothing. No "sorry for the inconvenience" credit. Nothing. Carvana was unwilling to do anything.
I finally go to pick up the new car. There are major issues on the car, that were not mentioned nor shown in pictures; melted trim next to the window, melted carpet on passenger side, curbed and chipped wheels, bubbling tint and a quarter sized dent on the roof, with paint chipping. The windshield looked like it had been replaced "do-it-yourself". The sealing around it was cracked. We'll see if it leaks. I pointed all this out to the salesman and he just shrugged. Literally just looked at me and said "it's a used car". Oh and the headliner is not attached at the windshield, like it was pulled out or replaced poorly. The inside was dirty. Whomever did the detail job, if there was one, needs to be re-trained. There was layers of grime on the steering wheel and turn signal that took me 5 minutes to get off.
Five more minutes to scrub the radio control buttons that had the same grime and the door panels were dirty. I got half a tank of gas and the car wasn't even washed. Maybe it had been several days ago, since there were water stains running down the sides. I am completely disappointed at the lack of customer service of everyone involved. The only helpful person for this entire thing was the lady who actually took the time to call me and explain the delay due to the headlights. To top it off, I purchased the extended warranty and got NO paperwork for it. Who do I call? How do I make claims for anything? The salesman was not helpful when asked.

We bought a Truck and as we were leaving to go onto the highway we realized it had transmission problems. It needed a whole new transmission. We decided it was best to trade it in (we were within the 7 day return policy). They were so absolutely easy to work with.

For the most part I love the car. There is some damage that was not revealed to me. Passenger side back door stops shutting about six inches from close and has to be forced. Also, the back bumper is coming off a little bit. That’s all I’ve noticed so far. Those things should have been listed in the description.

Selling my 2017 Hyundai Tucson and purchasing 2026 Hyundai Tucson was a breeze. Easiest transaction ever. However on the 7 th day after receiving my car, have had 2 major hiccups. I was told at my interview receiving/selling car that Carvana would take care of title and registration, today received conflicting emails that my registration not complete and one saying is was processing. Secondly my right back tire was down to 25, when checked by Discount tires was told these tires on the 26 model were much older, worn and one tire already had been patched and had several nails in it. This has to replace all 4 tires related to safety. I do love my new car and did not have any trouble when I used Carvana in 2020.

I was very disappointed with the difficulty in buying my car. The constant threats of releasing my car back to stock just because I did not get you a piece of the application in an unreasonable lack of time! This is the second car I have purchased from Carvana; my 1st car was quick and seamless. I am going to have to think long and hard before I buy another car from you. One last thing, you sold me a car with such bad tires that it would not pass the Pennsylvania inspection process. What about your pre-sale inspection you say you do, before putting a car for sale on the website?

The delivery driver was super kind, and she only had 1 issue with the truck but she was really kind and helped answer any questions I had. The car itself drives nicely, although the brakes do squeak if I ride the brakes to a stop. If I step to stop it stops nicely and smoothly and I feel the squeak isn't much an issue.

Overall it was good experience but not great. I got a very specific color that there are not a lot of in the States with all the specific options and low mileage relative to the year of the car. So that is the great part but what pulls it down to good was the hoops I had to jump through to get my credit union and Carvana on the same page. I had to make at least 30 calls back and forth and numerous emails back and forth to get my financing squared away. After that the process was pretty smooth but I can't lie and feel a bit disappointed/frustrated when it looked like things might get undone because they had a hard time agreeing on the way things were being processed. If it weren't for those couple days of the back and forth I would have said this was a 10/10 experience. Overall I'd say 7/10. Good not great.

This has been the *WORST* experience buying a vehicle in the history of my buying any vehicle. First, we opted for pick up over an hour away because of the vending machine, we get there with our one year old son and the van isn't even IN the vending machine... You could have delivered it if you were going to do us like that. Then, driving around the parking lot, we heard popping coming from under the front wheels. We sat back inside for another TEN MINUTES and nobody came back out. We couldn't tell them because nobody ever came back out to the front. Then, within 24 hours the check engine light turns on. The Carvana mechanic kept the van for an extra week for a window motor but didn't check a single fluid in the vehicle!
The coolant was BONE DRY! It could've blown up on my disabled wife and our one year old, so thanks for that! Then, we demand that it be looked at by another shop, to which Carvana obliged. Midas said it needed $2500 in parts and work and Carvana would only pay for $200, even though the mechanic ASSURED Carvana the work was necessary. So, we foot THAT bill on top of the already $24K. The check engine light is STILL on, we will have to replace the thermostat as well as something to do with the anti theft. Don't waste your time or money buying from this shade tree company. They'll screw you any way they can.

Carvana was easy to deal with through the entire car buying process. I enjoy being able to look at the entire US inventory of vehicles in order to choose the exact model I wanted.

If I could give negative stars, I would. I just bought a car from Carvana, and what arrived was a rolling biohazard with a death wish. The interior was filthy and the windows? Both inside and out, they were so smudged and streaked that I could barely see through them at night. It was clear no one had even glanced at a cleaning rag before shoving this car onto the truck. But the real kicker? The tires were in bad shape, with next to zero tread depth. And it gets worse: the sidewalls were dry-rotted with visible cracking, which doesn't happen from a few hundred miles of driving—that happens from sitting idle for months or years in a lot. These tires were ancient, brittle, and dangerous before I ever turned the key. No chance they will pass the state inspection.
When I called to complain, Carvana's response was a slap in the face: they mailed me a $100 check as a "goodwill gesture" and then had the audacity to blame me for the tires, claiming that since I drove the car over 400 miles, the wear was my fault. But they didn't stop there—they actually told me to submit an insurance claim through their third-party provider. So I did. And what did that insurance company say? Same exact garbage—they denied the claim because I had "driven too much," parroting Carvana's flimsy excuse and refusing to cover a dime.
Excuse me? Dry rot doesn't appear in 400 miles—that takes years of sun and neglect, which clearly happened on your watch. And let's talk math: replacing all four tires is going to cost me $1,400 out of pocket—not exactly pocket change. Meanwhile, your $100 "sorry" check doesn't even cover 10% of that, let alone the deep-cleaning this filth-mobile desperately needs. And your insurance partner was just as useless—passing the buck back and forth while I'm left holding the bag.
You knowingly shipped a safety hazard with rotting rubber and a dirty interior, then tried to gaslight me into thinking I caused it—and when I followed your own process, you sent me on a wild goose chase to an insurer who gave me the exact same runaround. Carvana, you sold me a problem and washed your hands of it. Do not buy from this company unless you enjoy being blamed for their pre-existing neglect, jumping through hoops for nothing, and shelling out thousands for their shortcuts. Completely unethical.

I was somewhat reluctant ordering a car online, but I was very pleased with the entire transaction.

I canceled my order with Carvana on August 22, 2026. Despite the cancellation, Carvana withdrew $22,000.00 via ACH from my checking account on August 24, 2026. When I contacted them, I was advised that the withdrawal occurred automatically and would be processed in 5-8 business days. This is currently preventing me from buying a vehicle as my funds have been removed from my checking account. I also asked for copies of the documents I signed for this transaction. They're no longer available through Carvana's website, and customer service refused to provide them when I requested them directly.
As of this writing, the funds have not been returned and I still don't have copies of my own signed paperwork. I've sent a certified demand letter to their corporate office and their registered agent, and I've disputed the charge with my bank. I'd recommend anyone considering Carvana keep close track of their bank statements after any cancellation, and get copies of every document at the time you sign it — don't count on being able to retrieve them later.

Well let's start by saying Carvana is the most easiest site to use. I was looking for a few days through the inventory. I found what we liked. I got pre approved. And had our beautiful Mazda delivered on Monday. Eric was our delivery guy. Very professional. He unloaded our car. Took pics of our id's. He went over some things. Allowed us to drive the car. When we got back we signed our paperwork and he was on his way. Doesn't get any easier than that.

Everything is misguided information. One minute it is possible the next it is not. I asked multiple times will the car be detailed was assured all their vehicles are detailed. (That was a lie) I originally was going to trade in a vehicle then changed my mind. Drastically the monthly payments went up and also was told on top of the non refundable fee for delivery I was also charged $1100. Then decided to go with the trade in and was told we will be refunded immediately (That was a lie) it takes 7 days to find out later on also asked to apply the refund to my principle amount which i was told they could. (That was also a lie.) Then also make note if you do not sign up prior to picking up the vehcile for automatic payments you cannot sign up later for the lower payment. It does not state that in plain sight. The gimmick is to make sure to read the little thing that says "Learn more"....... Furthermore I will be contacting Consumer Affairs and the Better Business Bureau.

As a recent, first-time, customer of Carvana (as of August, 2026), my experience was initially a good one. I found the vehicle I was interested in but I was very hesitant of having to pay a 'transfer fee' of $690 to bring it to the KCK location for pickup. After considering the upfront cost, I decided to pursue the vehicle and paid the up-front required transfer fee. They are very thorough when it comes to providing and uploading personal, financial and proof of insurance/funds documents, which is understandable. Carvana gave me a decent quote for purchasing my current vehicle as a trade-in; valuing it at $8200 for a 2019 Sonata Turbo Limited with 119k miles in good condition despite having an existing auto loan on it through my credit union. Carvana agreed to pay off my auto loan and wrap it all up in with the overall price of the "new" vehicle purchase agreement.
When it came time to provide proof of funds to Carvana the scheduled day before trading in my current vehicle and picking up the new vehicle from their infamous 'vending machine' from my credit union (who offered a much lower interest rate than Carvana financing terms), I went to pick up the cashier's check to then present to Carvana electronically. I then realized that my credit union took the initiative and paid off my current auto loan, issuing the cost of the Carvana vehicle minus the $8200 trade-in value.
Long story-short, I reached out to Carvana and explained the slight change of direction as far as the expected check amount. They told me that I'd have to "cancel the order and restart from the beginning to show that my trade-in vehicle was now paid off". They also told me I'd have to "allow my trade-in quote to expire and then begin the trade-in valuation again". (Obviously this would affect my scheduled pick-up date and most likely my trade-in value with added mileage.) On their advice, I canceled the order to start completely over. When I went to begrudgingly reorder the vehicle from Carvana's website, I received a new trade-in quote of $6600 from the week prior. Highly frustrated, I reached out to Carvana's customer service representative (self-referred to as "advocates") to figure out what was going on. Their 'advocate' confirmed that the trade-in valuation was based on daily market values and demand.
I was quite livid at this point as it had only been about 6 days from when I received the initial quote of $8200. After deliberating awhile longer, I opted to proceed to reorder the vehicle but then found that the same vehicle was now "being purchased by another customer". I reached back out to their advocate and asked about at least getting my $690 transfer fee back since I wasn't getting the car I paid to have transferred. The advocate simply replied that it is a "non-refundable fee" and essentially - "sorry about your luck!". I then asked to speak with an escalation manager about it to press further only to have the advocate state that managers don't have the means to refund back the transfer fees - and promptly disconnected the chat, leaving me high and dry (and extremely upset).
I suppose that everything would have gone smoothly had my bank issued the original purchase agreement amount from Carvana, but I still cannot believe how quickly the entire purchase experience deteriorated with the company up $690 and their first-time (and last-time) customer left with a extremely bad taste in my mouth. Beware of paying them a transfer fee. Because IF your transaction should go south, as mine did, you will be completely left out in the dark with zero sympathy from Carvana. Definitely "NOT the way car buying should be..."

I wish I could say my experience with Carvana was a good one, but unfortunately it has been nothing short of a hassle. My truck was delivered on August 10 with more damage than what was disclosed prior to the purchase. To make matters worse, additional damage was caused during delivery by the tow truck driver. Since then, getting the damage addressed and repaired has been an ongoing headache. In the 15 days since taking delivery, I have only actually had the truck in my possession for about three days because it has spent the rest of the time in the shop dealing with repairs related to these issues.
Buying a vehicle is supposed to be an exciting experience, especially when the process is advertised as being simple and convenient. Instead, I’ve spent the majority of my first two weeks of ownership dealing with repair shops, damage claims, and problems that should never have been mine to deal with in the first place.
Based on my experience, I would have a very difficult time recommending Carvana. The convenience of purchasing a vehicle online doesn’t mean much when the vehicle arrives with undisclosed damage, is further damaged during delivery, and then spends nearly all of your first two weeks of ownership sitting in a repair shop.

Purchased a 2018 Nissan Rogue, discovered transmission problem (other problems too). Took it to THEIR REQUIRED REPAIR BUSINESS. They had my car 39 DAYS. You only get reimbursed for $600 for a rental car, the rest of the time they could care less how much it costs you. They installed a refurbished transmission, and I PAID FOR ALL NEW BRAKES. Get car back, drive it 2 days, can't start vehicle. Needs battery and/or new fobs. Finally get it to a Nissan dealer and they discover THEY DIDN'T PUT BOLTS ON FRONT BRAKE AND LEFT A PART OFF THE BACK BRAKE AND TRANSMISSION IS LEAKING. Call Carvana, all you get is scripted 'we're sorry', blah blah blah. No solutions at all. Only 2 days left on 100 day warranty and it's 'so sad too bad, ** you'.
This company DOES NOT CARE. THEY KICK YOU OUT THE DOOR AND ANY PROBLEM IS through Silver Rock, a company that moves as slowly as possible to eat up your 100 days of warranty. Mark ups on these cars is insane, their 150 point check is a joke. You MUST go to a dealer during the 7 day period and see what is REALLY wrong with the car. Carvana is a scam. Zero in person ability to get problems solved, it's clear they don't want to talk to you. Very poor customer service. I've had the car 98 days, only drivable and in my possession 54.

I began purchasing a vehicle through Carvana on August 18 and was scheduled to complete the transaction on August 22. Between those dates, I spoke with several Carvana representatives to make sure I understood exactly what was required of my trade-in. I was consistently told that the vehicle needed to start and be able to drive onto the flatbed under its own power. At no point did anyone tell me that the delivery driver would take my vehicle on an actual road test. My vehicle was running when the driver arrived on August 22. She took it for the road test, sped off, and approximately a street away, the vehicle became inoperable and would not restart.
The situation afterward was just as upsetting. The driver initially attempted to leave the vehicle in the roadway, and we had to make sure it was moved to the side of the road. When we expressed our concerns, her attitude was dismissive. I was then told that I was responsible for getting the vehicle towed back to my home—even though it became inoperable while Carvana's employee was driving it as part of a test-drive requirement Carvana had never disclosed to me. We spoke with the driver's manager, who escalated the situation to a higher-level manager. I was told someone would call me back regarding getting my vehicle towed. No one ever called.
Thankfully, I had AAA roadside assistance and was able to have the vehicle towed without an out-of-pocket charge. However, if I had not had roadside assistance, I would have been responsible for the towing expense. More importantly, Carvana never followed through, and we ultimately had to arrange the tow ourselves.
My issue with Carvana goes beyond the fact that the vehicle stopped running. My problem is the lack of communication before the appointment and the complete lack of accountability afterward. I followed the instructions I was given, yet I ended up without the vehicle I was purchasing, with my own vehicle disabled away from my home, and having to figure out how to get it home myself. Anyone considering trading in a vehicle to Carvana should ask specifically whether their vehicle will be taken on a road test, because that information was never disclosed to me despite multiple conversations with representatives.

A friend of my sisters had bought a vehicle through Carvana and had a decent experience, so I decided to check it out. I was looking to get a truck because I needed a way to haul materials for work that needed done on my home. I had a 2021 Chevy Trailblazer that I was right side up on. It was a really nice looking vehicle and ZERO mechanical issues, only 17,044 miles on it and I bought it brand new in 2021. I decided to trade it in on a truck through Carvana. In the beginning it was pretty easy and convenient. I went through the process of getting the offer on my Trailblazer and proceeded with the trade in. Boy did I make a HUGE mistake! For one thing I seriously down graded. I chose the truck, it was valued at a price I thought was a little on the high end but I knew used trucks have high resale value and I was running out of options for a truck in my price range.
I chose a 2013 Ford F150 XL Super Crew Cab with 122,000+ miles on it. It looked good in the pictures and had some features that sounded pretty good. I proceeded, I read over the paperwork, accepted the trade in offer on my Trailblazer and used the remaining funds left over from my trade as a down payment on the Ford F150. I signed the paperwork with Carvana, did the thing on-line in video meeting with notary and chose a delivery date August 16,2026. I couldn’t wait.
The day arrived I was so excited. The driver arrived and started to unload my truck, OMG! It made an awful noise when when he started moving the truck and he got out and checked things over and got back in and started backing down the ramp again, the same noise occurred and about halfway down the ramp he realized the emergency brake was on and he released it and proceeded to unload. My neighbor who witnessed it all said thats not good and told me the driver forgot to release the emergency brake before he started to unload the truck. I should have taken that as a sign to just stop everything right then and there but, I second guess myself and that was my mistake.
I took the truck for a test drive and it sounded good, shifted great no tics no knock in the engine, but I felt like a brake was sticking but I wasn’t sure. I proceeded anyway and I watched as the driver drove away with my great looking and 100% free of any mechanical issues 2021 Chevy Trailblazer. This is where my dream turned into my nightmare. My neighbor who is a mechanic came over to look over the truck and listen to it and go with me on a test run. There was a noise in the backend every time I went over a bump or dip in the road, the brake still felt like it was sticking and the dial on fan that controls the airflow for the a/c and heat did not work it was stuck on one speed, but other than that I thought it was good. (keyword: thought). So that night I started a claim to get the dial on the fan fixed.
The next day (17th) I made an appointment to have a complete inspection done on the truck and get the fan dial fixed. I had not had the truck 24 hours. On the 18th (2 days after receiving truck) it was in the shop, remember Carvana did their 150 point inspection on this truck and they passed everything. The garage I took the truck to is a nationwide business and is in Silver stones (Warranty Company for Carvana) network. The inspection revealed (get ready) a collapsed left front brake line, low, practicality empty on coolant, the resistor part on the fan/blower for the a/c and heat, back rotors and pads (both sides) urgently needed replaced, a weld on a heat shield that covered the catalytic converter was broke and both leaf springs in the backend urgently needed replaced and the lug nuts were warped. WOW!
Needless to say I was shocked and angry. The guy at the garage stated the vehicle was unsafe to drive and said he would deal with SilverRock and get them to approve all the repairs and pay for the diagnostic that revealed everything that needed repaired. I told him that if SilverRock refused to pay for one thing to not do anything to the truck and I would call Carvana to pick it up. I told him that Carvana had passed everything in their 150 point inspection and he said there was no way they did an inspection on that truck because if they did, the truck would not have passed inspection and would never have been put on the live site for sale until the proper repairs were made or the truck was junked.
I considered doing an exchange while the garage was waiting on SilverRock to decide if they were going to pay for all the repairs, but Carvana not only would have taken my existing down payment but, would also require me to give them more money towards the down payment if I did an exchange, even if the exchange truck was the same price as the Ford F150 and that is BS so I considered a return and get my money that was left over from my trade in but, SilverRock agreed to pay for all the repairs parts and labor (even the diagnostics) and I now have a good truck with a good engine and new back rotors and brake pads, new coolant, new leaf springs, new front brake line and the weld fixed on the heat shield, not mention I can control the fan speed on my a/c and heater and new lug nuts, so kudos to SilverRock.
I know that buying a used vehicle is buying someone else’s problems but, all of the issues that the truck I bought had? I’m just stating my own personal experience dealing with buying a vehicle from Carvana. I suggest that if you’re determined to buy a vehicle from Carvana to proceed with caution and read your contract completely (do not skip anything) before signing any paperwork.

Horrible experience. They cancelled twice after the promised delivery window had already started. Both times I notice check on status of my appointment and they notified me first time an hour later and second time hours later. I wasted a half day off work the first time. When I spoke to customer service the first time they told me it was very unusual to have to reschedule and promised it wouldn’t happen again. But it did. I just traded it to the dealer for $1000 less than Carvana was offering but my time is worth something.

The whole process seemed easy but when I got there to pick up my new car they said a contract wasn't signed. He said he couldn't help me so I had to call customers service. That took forever to get an actual human being. I finally got that resolved and got my car. When the car came out of the "vending machine" the associate tried to open the trunk twice and hit the building behind it. We noticed a few minor cosmetic things but all cars have those. About 1 hour into our 4 hour drive the rearview mirror fell off. So I went to adjust my driver side mirror to make up for the lack of other mirror use and the glass fell out!!
We drove it home and took a deeper look into it and washed it. The trunk leaks and everything inside is now soaked. There is significant cosmetic damage and an HDMI cord was broken off into the rear entertainment. As well as the goldfish and French fries all over the floor I will say they didn't do a good job cleaning it at all. I took it in for an inspection and mechanically it is good. Just very disappointed in all the other things.

My second time ordering a car online with Carvana. Satisfied with the 2019 X1, but due to miles on it (<60K mi), I traded it in with a 2026 X1. This time a bit more disappointing. I am on my 2nd (3rd really) trial of the 2026 BMW X1, they were both a little over 10k in miles. The first one did not even make it out of the truck bed. A huge, significant, I guess medium scratch under the passenger side of the car was noticed and not mentioned on the description (as if the car had gone up something high and scratched the bottom where it had loosened the screws underneath there), and I am nearly financing the car as if brand new. I was wondering why the truck was parked down the block when i had a huge space in front of the house.
The second one, loved the color, got attached to it, ordered a missing luggage cover, took it to the car wash on the 7th day and it rained inside the car. It freaked me out. The rear view mirror leaked water into the dashboard. The moonroof was closed. This should not be happening on a nearly brand new car. Thankfully, the 2nd Carvana Rep took it into consideration that this was a major deal and offered to try another one. I am on my 7th day on the 2nd/3rd car. Again, the driver parked down the block. Again no mention of a medium scratch on the bumper hidden by the color black. If i went back on the photos (a bit unfocused and unclear- it was there) and enlarge it. So, study the photos. I say, do a handwash of the car on the first day so the dings and scratches will be noted. Otherwise I love BMW x1, very powerful.

After they fixed it they told her now the other side is out and she would have to come back for that. Second time they said you were not going to be open on the weekend so she could not get service and I had to call and verify you were. Now they said she can't wait since there is 8 people in front of her and I need to leave the car to change a bulb.

This EV was marketed as having a 263-mile healthy battery. Fully charged, this car gets no more than 207 miles. A healthy battery would have 5-12% battery degradation. There were also 3 items that the car was showing needed to be addressed – so much for the 150-point inspection. When we called, we were told we could either return the car (minus the delivery) or deal with SilverRock. SilverRock told us to go to Tesla for an estimate of dealing with the 3 issues and the battery. The nearest Tesla dealership is 1.5 hours away and there’s no guarantee that SilverRock will cover whatever their estimate is. To try to get all this done within the “guarantee” timeline is almost impossible.
If you get a perfect car, Carvana is easier to deal with than a dealership. But the bureaucracy and pass-the-buck policies required if your car has issues are so frustrating you’ll want to pull your hair out.

I ordered a 2019 F-150 to be delivered 7/31. It was delivered on time, but I discovered the next morning that it rattled on cold start. It was REALLY bad, there is no way they missed it. Brought it to one of Silverrock’s “partner” shops first thing Monday morning 8/3. It needed a new engine, or a ton of work done to the engine to fix severe timing issues.
After going around and around with Silverrock and getting nowhere, and them sending out an inspector who said there was nothing wrong with the truck, I decided to exchange it. Ordered a 2023 F-150 to be delivered 8/15. Made it EXTREMELY clear to them that I cannot have any delays; I am in the middle of moving, and they’ve really screwed me over. They texted me today, 8/14 at 4:30 pm when my delivery appointment is at noon tomorrow, to tell me that my delivery has been rescheduled for 8/24.
I’ve been in contact with the “executive resolution team” who just reads off of a script; they offered absolutely no resolution. They claim the delay is due to needing a new taillight assembly, but that doesn’t take NINE DAYS to fix. I have spent HOURS on the phone with them trying to come up with some sort of resolution and only get scripted answers and no solutions. They haven’t been proactive at all to resolve this. I asked for them to find me a comparable vehicle that could be delivered during my original delivery window; they came up with nothing.

Carvana refuses to assist with a rental in any way. Basically told me it's not our problem since it's under a Ford warranty. These problems should have been addressed before delivery.

BUYER BEWARE — I WILL NEVER BUY FROM CARVANA AGAIN. My experience with Carvana has been absolutely unacceptable from beginning to end. First, my pickup was rescheduled THREE different times, which was frustrating enough. But the much bigger problem was the condition of the vehicle Carvana ultimately sold me. Thankfully, I spent $400 out of my own pocket for an independent inspection immediately after receiving the car. That inspection uncovered numerous mechanical problems that Carvana apparently missed—including SAFETY-RELATED issues. The repairs ended up costing close to $4,000, which SilverRock had to cover. Think about that: Carvana sold me a vehicle with thousands of dollars in mechanical repairs needed, including safety concerns, yet it took an inspection that I paid for to discover them.
The cosmetic condition wasn’t represented well either. There were numerous scratches and imperfections that were not properly disclosed in the listing photos. The so-called detailing was also horrible. For a company that advertises a convenient, hassle-free car-buying experience, I expected the vehicle to at least arrive properly inspected, accurately represented and clean. Customer service was another disappointment. Instead of taking real ownership of the situation, the answer repeatedly seemed to be that I could just exchange the vehicle for another one. That’s not a solution. I shouldn’t have to keep swapping vehicles hoping that eventually Carvana sends me one that was properly inspected. Carvana may say SilverRock handles the warranty and repairs, but that doesn’t excuse Carvana from selling vehicles that should have been thoroughly inspected before being handed over to a customer in the first place.
And to be clear, I have the pictures, independent inspection report, repair documentation and receipts to back up everything stated in this review. This isn’t speculation or exaggeration. I have documentation showing the condition of the vehicle and the repairs that were necessary after I received it. If you’re considering buying from Carvana, my advice is simple: PAY FOR YOUR OWN INDEPENDENT INSPECTION IMMEDIATELY. Do not assume their inspection caught everything. Mine uncovered thousands of dollars in problems that I otherwise might not have known about. Between three pickup reschedules, undisclosed cosmetic damage, terrible detailing, major mechanical and safety issues, and unhelpful customer service, I’ve completely lost confidence in Carvana. I will never purchase another vehicle from Carvana. Buyer beware.

I really wanted to give a 5-star review, because I had a great experience with Carvana until I got the car home and noticed undisclosed damage to the car that was not identified on the Carvana website or disclosed to me at pickup. Most critically, parts of the driver's side mirror were cracked or missing (see photos below) - this was not indicated under the "Condition" section for this car on the website (which only showed 4 minor scratches on the paint at various spots on the car). This is obvious damage to the car that would have been clearly obvious to whomever at Carvana performed the inspection, but it was not disclosed, and I only uncovered it after I returned home with the car. There are other minor issues that were also not disclosed, such as marks on the grill and the dash, but there are relatively minor compared to the damage to the side mirror, which will now have to be repaired at my own expense.
Obviously, I realize that I could have returned the car during the 7-day window, but that would have meant losing the $290 I paid to ship the car, as well as the hassle of finding another car. All in all, the damage to the mirror is not a major issue, as the car works fine and is a blast to drive - I'm just really disappointed that Carvana clearly chose to not acknowledge this obvious damage to the car before selling it to me, as they instead made it appear as if a couple very minor scratches were the only flaws. Everything else that was part of the Carvana process was extremely enjoyable - my entire family came with me to pick up my car and it was a great, memorable experience. But the undisclosed damage to the car simply leaves a bad taste in my mouth, and unless Carvana is willing to make the necessary repairs (or provide some refund as compensation for the repairs I'm going to need to now make), I'm left with a negative impression overall.

The vehicle was delivered with different size rims than advertised. Carvana acknowledged this and gave me the choice of returning the vehicle or taking a $100 apology. The front tires are dry rotted and the wear bars, and will fail PA state inspection. I was sent to a repair facility and was told the front tires are unsafe. Silver Rock denied the tires and told me the rims were the ones pictured so deal with it. The rims are the ones pictured but there was no way to determine from the pictures that are the wrong size. I was told to get the vehicle inspected and “we’ll see what can be done if it failed”.
The issue is I don’t have the PA registration needed to get it inspected because the ten day return policy ended yesterday. So I had no choice but to keep the truck because I traded in my vehicle and had nothing to drive, would have to spend more money to ship another, and lose the original shipping cost.

⭐️ 1-Star Review — Extremely Disappointed With Carvana. My experience with Carvana has been extremely disappointing. I purchased a 2020 Mercedes-Benz E350 4MATIC with around 74,000 miles, and I started having problems with the vehicle almost immediately. When the car was delivered, the front tires were flat, there was a coolant leak, the brakes were nearly worn out, and there were other issues that should have been caught before the vehicle was delivered to a customer.
Then, after driving the car from Florida to Texas, I turned it off, and it would not start again. I ended up dealing with additional electrical/starter issues and the vehicle spent approximately 13 days in the shop. What makes this even more frustrating is that I contacted Carvana because of the problems and asked about exchanging the vehicle, but I was not given the resolution I expected. I purchased this car expecting a reliable vehicle, not to immediately deal with repairs and time without my car.
Carvana makes the buying process look easy, but my experience after the sale has been anything but easy. I feel like I was left dealing with problems that should have been addressed before the car was sold and delivered. I would strongly recommend that anyone considering buying from Carvana have the vehicle thoroughly inspected by an independent mechanic immediately. Based on my experience, I would not recommend Carvana.

Searching for a vehicle was the hardest part, so many great choices to pick through. Once I found the vehicle I wanted the process was very simple, the steps were easy to follow and quick. Once I was on site to pick up my vehicle, we went over a few things on the documents which also was very quick and simple and my questions that I had were answered and I was very pleased. When my vehicle came out we did a walk through and also had questions answered and that was it. My new car was nicely cleaned and had a nice bow on it, made me feel like they really took the time to make sure it was a great experience and it was. Our agent (not sure what they call them) Tony was great very friendly and easy to talk to, I will always recommend my family and friends to Carvana.

We recently purchased a 2026 Kia SUV with less than 15,000 miles on it. My research on Carvana and it's accuracy was impeccable. I also traded in a vehicle and the transfer of vehicles was smooth. I will be buying future vehicles through Carvana.

Overall, the process of buying through Carvana was easy and pleasant, and everyone I dealt with was friendly and responsive. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed in the condition of the vehicle given how heavily Carvana promotes its 150-point inspection. We purchased a 2020 Ford F-150 with about 35,000 miles. Within days of taking delivery and having it independently inspected, we learned that the rear brakes were down to 2mm, the front brakes were at 3mm, all four tires had dry rot and needed replacement, and the rear pinion seal was leaking. SilverRock did approve the rear brakes and pinion seal, but declined the front brakes and tires. Then, during a rainstorm, we discovered that the windshield wipers were so worn that we literally could not safely see to drive and had to replace those as well.
None of these things individually makes this a bad truck, and we actually really like the vehicle. My disappointment is with the inspection and reconditioning process before it was sold. Brakes at 2–3mm, dry-rotted tires, and unusable windshield wipers all seem like basic safety items that should have been identified during a 150-point inspection.
What was most frustrating was that when I contacted Carvana about the additional expenses immediately after purchase, the response was essentially that we could return or exchange the truck during the 7-day trial period. I understand that option is part of Carvana's model, but I don't think "you can return it" really addresses the issue. We had already spent the time choosing the vehicle, purchasing it, taking delivery, arranging an independent inspection and bringing it to an approved repair facility. We liked the truck and didn't want to start the entire process over — we simply expected a vehicle advertised as having passed a 150-point inspection not to need tires, brakes and wipers immediately.
I would still consider purchasing from Carvana again because the actual buying experience was very convenient. However, I would strongly recommend that anyone purchasing a vehicle from them take advantage of the 7-day period and have an independent inspection performed immediately. Based on our experience, I would not rely on the 150-point inspection alone.

I’ve had a very good overall experience with Carvana. The buying process is simple, convenient, and much easier than spending hours negotiating at a traditional dealership. I also like being able to compare a large selection of vehicles, prices, mileage, features, and financing all in one place. In my experience, their prices have been competitive, especially when considering the convenience and straightforward process. The delivery and purchasing process has also been easy to follow. I would definitely recommend Carvana to friends and family who are looking for a convenient and transparent way to purchase a vehicle.

When car was delivered noticed it had been in accident. I decided to go head and take it even though it was reported. Drove it maybe 20 miles. The plastics on engine weren’t bolted down and fell on exhaust which nearly caught fire after trying to return car (in less than 24 hours). For same vehicle they want me to have a bigger interest rate 26% which was insane. Just wasn’t a great experience.

I was sold a car that I love but it was in an accident and not repaired correctly prior. A week or two after I purchased it I started getting all these sensor errors. I’ve had the worst time trying to get Silver Rock to repair it. Carvana cut me a check for the difference but Silverrock is continuing to say they will cover it and then deny my claims because they say they haven’t received certain documentation that my repair shop that insists they are submitting things and submits it over and over. I have been trying to get my defective car fixed for at least a month. I will never use Carvana again. I will only buy from a dealership or somewhere that has their own body shop and repairs vs dealing with 3 parties and a ping pong effect if it’s not me it’s them.

Ordered and paid in full for a 50,000 truck. Updated insurance and signed Carvana contract. Got a call that everything was all "green" for our pickup time the day before pickup. DAY OF pickup- get an email saying they cannot honor our pickup time, and rescheduled for a new time without consulting us. I had already taken work off to come pick up the vehicle and arranged for getting myself there early to inspect the vehicle. Tried to contact customer support but just got a bot. The AI tells us if we did not agree to the new delivery date/time we could get refund, but would still be out for the delivery fees. (DELIVERED WHAT EXACTLY- you canceled our delivery).
Forcing someone to sign a new contract and agree to new terms or else pay a fee sounds like forcing a signature under duress. Very shady business practices. We finally talked to a customer representative that told us the same thing, when I brought this up they said they could waive the delivery fee if we wanted to cancel. Of course we want to cancel and not engage in business with this type of company. If Carvana can't be held to the original terms of the contract without consequences, and only the buyer is out of pocket for their failure, then their business model needs to change. We will not be recommending this company to anyone or use its services in the future.

We couldn’t be happier with our experience using Carvana! Today’s traditional dealerships often seem entirely focused on pushing buyers into expensive brand-new cars with massive, long-term loans, which just wasn't what we were looking for. We first used Carvana back in 2025 to purchase a Kia Rio, and we were thrilled with how smooth and straightforward the process was. Recently, we received an email with a great trade-in offer and decided it was time to upgrade to a Kia Forte. The transition was seamless, and we absolutely love our new car! Skipping the middleman and avoiding the typical dealership runaround makes all the difference. We highly recommend Carvana to anyone looking for a quality new or used vehicle that fits comfortably within their price range.

Overall it was a decent transaction. I picked a date about a week away to pickup vehicle because it fit my timeline. Carvana wanted my insurance info pretty much the next day. Got few calls saying my pickup date will be changed if I don’t get the insurance to them that night. Well I couldn’t get it to them and the next day it was same thing. Pretty much do now or change pickup date. I was able to send info to them that night and then pretty much it was done and had to wait 4 days to pick up my car. That process could have been a little more stretched out since I was waiting on another person to do something (insurance agent). Pickup I thought would be more personable experience. It’s pretty much get your car and leave. Not much time to look through vehicle and check out your purchase. They gave me decent money on trade compared to other dealers so that was a bonus for the transaction.

DON'T USE CARVANA!!!! This is our 2nd experience with Carvana so at this point, it’s on us. We have now tried Carvana twice, and unfortunately, both experiences have come with significant issues. The first time we purchased a vehicle through Carvana, it arrived with an obviously bad transmission. To Carvana’s credit, the situation was eventually resolved, and we ended up keeping that vehicle for a few years without any major problems after the initial issue. Because of that, we decided to give Carvana another chance. Unfortunately, we’re regretting that decision. We went through the entire purchasing process again, selected a vehicle, paid the $1,200 shipping fee, and got everything ready for pickup. Then, at the last minute, we received a call telling us that Carvana does not cater to full-time travelers. And no, we don't have a PO Box.
That would have been useful information to know before we went through the entire process and paid $1,200 to have the vehicle shipped. Our driver's license is issued by the same state where we were purchasing the vehicle, so we were especially surprised that this became an issue only after everything had been arranged. We understand that companies have policies and requirements, but those requirements need to be communicated clearly before customers spend money and commit to a vehicle. This is now two Carvana purchases and two experiences with major problems. The first vehicle had a transmission issue, and the second purchase fell apart because of a policy we were apparently not made aware of until after we had paid the shipping fee and prepared for pickup.
At this point, we have to admit: it’s on us for giving Carvana a second chance. We wanted to like Carvana, and our first vehicle ultimately worked out after the initial problems. But after this experience, we won't be giving them a third opportunity. Having multiple social media platforms we will make sure our experiences are told.

Just no. I bought my car 4 days ago and quickly pointed out that they hadn't pictured and disclosed a very worn arm/interior handle of the driver's side door. VERY worn...Ruined. It was denied being covered because "it is normal wear and tear". They literally hide damage and then deny your claim within your 7-day trial. It is cosmetic damage and WAS NOT pictured or listed as being there before the purchase. I could go on because they falsely said my car was at Westminster location...Yet then told me otherwise and I paid $990 to ship to me...It was a Tuesday, then they cancelled and rescheduled it. Blah blah blah...I WOULD NEVER BUY A CAR HERE AGAIN- I feel scammed. I bought one from Carmax and it is BEYOND transparent and reliable.

I strongly recommend avoiding CarvanaCare, especially if you are buying a Tesla. My initial purchase experience with Carvana was relatively smooth, but that was overshadowed by Carvana’s failure to disclose significant paint imperfections and its unwillingness to intervene when SilverRock failed to resolve the problem.
While I was still within Carvana’s return window, SilverRock—the company that administers both CarvanaCare and Carvana’s limited warranty—“approved” an estimate to repair the undisclosed paint damage. However, no repair facility I contacted was willing to accept SilverRock’s unusual WEX payment method. The process dragged on until my return window expired, leaving the damage unrepaired.
SilverRock told me Tesla would work with them, but the manager of a Tesla Collision Center said they had tried doing business with SilverRock in the past and no longer do so. SilverRock could not positively identify a single Tesla or Tesla-certified collision center that was actually willing to accept its coverage and unusual payment process.
I followed every instruction, obtained special waivers, and spent considerable time taking the vehicle and obtaining estimates. SilverRock’s agents repeatedly gave me the same scripted responses, even though their claims did not match what the repair facilities were telling me. When I asked to speak with a manager, I was told none were available. Carvana was also unwilling to step in and help resolve the situation with its chosen warranty administrator.
CarvanaCare feels like a scam when its administrator can “approve” a repair but cannot provide a practical way to get it completed or paid for. It speaks very poorly of Carvana that it partners with SilverRock, fails to intervene when the process breaks down, and allows delays to continue until the customer’s return window has expired. Based on my experience, Tesla buyers—and other prospective Carvana customers—should think very carefully before relying on Carvana’s limited warranty or paying extra for CarvanaCare.

I am very pleased in a few areas, and very unpleased in others with my purchase. To start with the good, the trade in offer and process is great. Searching for cars is great and making the initial purchase. Also, the customer service when I have called in two or three times was very friendly and helpful. Now the bad. The state the car was received in at pickup was not good. The car was not cleaned very well at all and the dirty exterior especially made both the excitement of seeing the car for the first time after purchasing disheartening and it made it difficult to see the many subtle scrapes, scratches and paint corrections made on the car. There were two main reasons I decided to purchase with Carvana as normally I prefer to carefully inspect a car before committing to buying.
The reasons for me at were that I had very little time available and could not drive across the states in search of the right vehicle for me and I've grown weary of dealerships altogether in the way they try to devalue your trades and press you for more money while "holding you hostage". This is why I chose to use Carvana for the first time and it did save me a lot of time getting a car that fit me. However, the car i received was given a very poor makeover to ready for sale. They had new tires put on it, but elected to mismatch the tires with some of the cheapest tires you could buy. Especially the front tires that were already sitting for 5 years and dirty. They barely meet acceptable guidelines. Especially for a 38k used sports car. Next the brake pads were replaced, but the rotors were not and they were in bad condition. Thankfully I filed a claim to have the breaks remedied, but that added more time and stress to the process and is still ongoing.
When the tires were replaced, they did bot clean the wheels or tires and the weights for balancing the tires have started coming off due to them being adhered to a dirty surface. There are also marks on the surface of the black wheels which suggests that the tires were not removed from the backside of the wheel like they should have been for a painted wheel to prevent damage to the face of the wheel. They ordered new lug nuts, but did not put a locking lug nut on the car like they would come from the factory which leaves them susceptible to being stolen with ease. Now the worst part, once I finally had time to detail the car myself, I was able to see quite a few more paint pen fixes, chips in the windshield, and that the front end of the car was re-painted. While the paint job itself looks to be fairly good, the prep to paint was not.
They did not remove the bumper, hood and fenders, but poorly taped everything off and sprayed it to most likely get rid of a lot of chips as evidenced by the chips in the windshield. I would have been happy about the re-spray, had they bot gotten paint on the side clearance lights, front bow tie emblem, and the plastic front grill pieces. Also, it appears they removed the front lights at least, but upon putting them back in left many white scratches on the front bumper where they reinstalled. This shows that either they did not wait for the paint to cure, or they did not clear coat the car appropriately. Basically, Everything that their mechanics did to the car was poor workmanship and is going to cost me a good amount to remedy if I am to keep the car for a long time as I had planned.
Basically, they caused more damage to the car trying to fix it than if they wouldn't have touched it at all. The 150 point inspection states that all fluids were replaced, but with the workmanship displayed, I'm worried about what else could have been done poorly, whether the correct fluids were used and whether or not the oil was even changed. The oil life indicator in the car states less than 10% life so now I have to go get the oil changed even though it was supposed to be done already since there is no way yo know for sure. I estimate it will cost me thousands to undo the work your mechanics have done to this car, but unfortunately this is the car I wanted and being they are hard to find I'm obliged to keep it and suffer through the poor workmanship. At this point, I seriously doubt I would ever trust Carvana again if they allow such cheap work to be performed on their used cars.

I had a very disappointing experience with Carvana. I purchased a vehicle expecting a smooth, worry-free process.

The most frustrating part is that I was told these expenses would be covered, but they were not. I relied on those assurances and was left paying costs that I should not have had to absorb. Customer service was polite, but promises without follow-through don’t solve the problem. I expected Carvana to stand behind what they told me and make things right.

Very inconvenient when you have to wait for financial institutions to transfer funds and then wait for their check to clear.

Carvana warranty insurance only paid half the cost of the tires. Even if I lose the $600 I paid for tires, I am still considering returning the truck within the 7 day period.

After an hour, I thought it was ridiculous to finance it, so I cancelled the finance and said I would just pay the difference in cash, they could take it out of my checking account, which they had. They said the pickup date would take another week (even though the vehicle was already at their Vegas location.)

I was told “by law we don’t have to disclose” I answered, “ if it’s something major, I don’t want the unsafe vehicle”.

Now ….. they have in their possession $24,000 cash and almost a month later, I have no vehicle! They “REFUSE” to tell me what’s going on that caused the engine light to go on. Must be major if it’s taking THIS LONG to fix it! Possible another engine has to be installed? Or the possibility … they don’t even have this vehicle that fraudulent sold me! Then .. there’s THEIR insurance! I thought it would be quick and easy if I opted to buy their insurance, ROOT. let me tell you about THIS nightmare in PART II of this online car paying CARVANA. ….. STAY TUNED AND WATCH FOR IT.

Process was easy and the delivery driver was cool, but my car arrived very dirty and was disappointed by that. All of the side windows were really dirty. There was hair all over the carpet, which is gross. The sunroof was dirty. There was a bunch of dirt and hair in the glove box and in the center console. There is also a bunch of car wax residue all over the exterior of the vehicle in hard to reach places, like door gaps and along the edges of the hood. Seems weird to spend $33,000 somewhere and what you ordered doesn't arrive clean. Think they should've detailed it and it seems unprofessional that they didn't.

I purchased a vehicle from Carvana that had sustained damage prior to pickup. This was not disclosed to me in advance, and I only learned of it upon arrival (they had the car in their possession for over a week at the pick up location). Because it was raining and they are not allowed to let you inspect the vehicle inside for inspection, I was unable to properly assess it for additional damage at the time of pickup. Following pickup, I was required to file a claim on my own, obtain repair estimates, and manage all related follow-up. After going through this entire process, the claim was ultimately denied; not because the damage wasn't real or wasn't their responsibility, but because Carvana had entered incorrect information on their end.
Despite the damage having occurred prior to my taking possession of the vehicle, Carvana has refused to cover the cost of repairs. Offering less than half to be reimbursed. This is one of several issues I've encountered with this purchase, and unfortunately the return window has since expired, leaving limited options for resolution. At this point, I have to pursue legal action to resolve the matter. I'm sharing this experience so other prospective buyers are aware of what can happen and know to document everything thoroughly and independently before accepting delivery.

Had a great experience purchasing my car from Carvana. The entire process was simple, convenient, and stress-free. Everything was easy to understand, and the car arrived just as described. I’m very happy with my purchase and would recommend Carvana to anyone looking for an easy car-buying experience.

I am writing this review to warn consumers about Carvana’s severe operational disorganization and billing practices when an order is canceled on their end. The Issue: Carvana unilaterally canceled my vehicle purchase (2024 Hyundai IONIQ 5) right before delivery due to an issue on their system’s end. Following the cancellation, a live advocate confirmed over the phone that my $1,290.00 shipping deposit would be refunded within 7 to 14 days.
The Broken Promises: A full month passed with no refund. When I finally reached out via live chat to follow up, the advocate admitted on record that Carvana had completely failed to submit the internal Treasury ticket in July to release my funds. Despite being explicitly promised in writing weeks earlier that the money was on its way, no employee had actually processed the transaction. Worse yet, the advocate then stated they were opening a new ticket to "determine eligibility" for a refund on a cancellation that Carvana caused.
The Takeaway: Carvana held $1,290.00 of my money for nearly 30 days without taking action until I forced the issue via chat. I have saved all chat transcripts, call notes, and email records. I am currently pursuing a formal merchant chargeback through my card issuer alongside regulatory complaints. If you purchase through Carvana, be aware that if they cancel your deal, returning your funds may not happen automatically unless you chase them down and document everything. VIN: ** Status: Pending Chargeback / Regulatory Dispute
