We really enjoyed working with Carvana. They made the car buying experience easy and so much nicer than going to a dealership. We especially liked that they handle the paperwork and registration with the BMV. I will recommend them to anyone in the market for a car.

Be careful. Going in I had high regards for Carvana. The first car I got check engine light came on after day 1. The best thing about carvana is that 7 day return of exchange policy. 2nd car I really liked it so I kept it but all rotors and brakes needed to be changed. Two tires was just barely enough to pass inspection. So my 7 days is up I'm purchasing 4 new tires and all brakes and rotors. That inspection they say they did is not effective. The car shook bad when I applied the brakes other than that car was good so I'ma come out the pocket for brakes and tires myself. Highly disappointed. I just like the car that's why I'm keeping but I feel they are no different from your local used car dealer.

Do not buy a car from these people. I bought my 2023 Honda CRV less than 2 months ago. It has been in the shop for more than 2 weeks with a bad thermostat and corroded wiring. The supposed 100 day warranty is declining to fix the issue the car clearly had before I purchased it. Now I am expected to pay over 2k for a car I have owned less than 2 months. Obviously the car was not properly inspected before it was sold. Unacceptable Carvana.

I received went through the online purchase process, and at the end, got a message stating the process was complete and that I'd purchased the vehicle. That was on a Friday, and I trusted it. Later, they emailed me that they needed something further and I was given a deadline of following Monday at 6p.m. local time. However, I was away from my email that weekend so wasn't able to respond until they sent a text on that Monday. It wasn't clear exactly what had happened, but I had four hours to address it, so not an issue. I immediately went to the link provided by Carvana and was advised the truck had been sold to someone else. Period. End of story.
Per their own notifications, I had time remaining to take care of getting them what they needed. Horrible experience. No consideration offered. I finally asked that they cover the $100 fee to hold another vehicle that had come in and give me an opportunity to purchase what I was looking for. They denied this. They denied it! I find that unacceptable as they did not honor the time they had promised for me to meet their final requirements. A company that would do this to me is not a company I will choose to do any further business with. I thought it was a great place to purchase a vehicle, and found out the hard way that it IS NOT. Attached image shows what I was told. I clicked that link as soon as I was able, well before the deadline, and the vehicle was being purchased by someone else.

I had never purchased a car through Carvana before, it was a quick and painless process. It was very thorough and user-friendly. I have hated spending hours at a car dealer in the past trying to make a purchase, thru Carvana, it was really a very quick process. I also felt protected with the 7-day money-back guarantee. They also gave me the most by far for my trade-in. I would highly recommend them!

I bought a truck and everything went wrong. The ac doesn't work. Well it works sometimes. The rotors are warped. The struts are bad. The transmission is bad. The paint has over spray from front to back. They won't fix the transmission or the brakes or paint. It's been in the shop longer than I've driven it. They said they will reimburse me for up to ten days on a rental car. The car has been in for 16 days and has to go back. I asked them to just come and get it. They said they would do a voluntary repossession so my credit will get messed up so thank you Carvana for a terrible experience. I would have been better off with a used car lot.

Carvana made the online buying process easy and delivery was on schedule, but the car arrived with issues that should have been caught before it was sold. I paid $250 for a dealership inspection and a $350 SilverRock deductible to fix a wheel bearing and a sunroof seal — both problems present on day one. Getting the repairs approved was unnecessarily difficult. SilverRock only covered the issues reluctantly, and only after several calls from me and additional calls from the Volvo service manager pushing for authorization. I also held off on the $279.99 software updates since they weren’t urgent, and because Carvana made it clear they wouldn’t reimburse that cost either.
If Carvana had been willing to compensate me for the unexpected expenses — the inspection, the deductible, and the software updates — I could genuinely recommend them. But the combination of hidden issues, out‑of‑pocket costs, and the amount of effort required to get basic repairs approved overshadowed the convenience of the buying process.

Carvana's promise is that each vehicle receives a 150 point inspection prior to delivery. There is no possible way this inspection was completed on my vehicle. The coolant was dangerously low. Oil needed to be changed the day I received the vehicle. The vehicle was and is still leaking oil. The wiper blades desperately need to be changed. When reaching out to customer service, I was told I can bring it in to a SilverRock shop for a service which is an inconvenience, due to the fact that these shops are at least an hour and a half from my home. I should not need to bring a vehicle that just had a 150 point inspection about a week ago, be serviced already.

This was a disaster from the start. The reps on the phone co distantly provided bad information. The contracts didn’t reflect the correct payment information (which I was told is normal), and the driver didn’t have a pen - which required me to drive to a gas station to buy one.

After a disappointing situation of the car I was getting on my birthday fell apart because it didn’t pass vin inspection they were so amazing getting me into a vehicle exactly like the one I was getting and helping me out with some cash to help with the vehicle rental I was going to need.

I cannot say enough about the service and customer service experience I received!!!

I am beyond furious with my experience. Carvana advertised this vehicle as being in excellent condition, and the online photos showed no indication of significant damage. When the car was delivered, I immediately found hail damage, chipped paint, and other cosmetic issues that were absolutely not disclosed in the listing. When I pointed out the damage, the delivery driver assured me that if I signed for the vehicle, the repairs would be taken care of and that the process was simple. Trusting that promise was the biggest mistake I made. The driver took photos of the damage and documented everything before leaving.
What followed was a nightmare. I spent over 15 hours on the phone trying to get this resolved, only to receive a response claiming they “didn’t see the problem” and that the hail damage and chipped paint were considered normal wear and tear that did not need to be disclosed. That is completely unacceptable. Had I known Carvana would refuse to honor the promises made at delivery, I NEVER would have accepted this vehicle.
To make matters worse, I traded in my previous vehicle, which actually was in excellent condition. I deeply regret trusting Carvana and giving up a car I loved for this experience. My advice to anyone considering Carvana: BEWARE. Do not accept a vehicle based on promises that damage will be repaired later. Get everything in writing before signing anything. Once they have your signature, don’t expect them to stand behind what they told you. I feel completely misled and deceived. Huge regrets. Save yourself the frustration, wasted time, and disappointment. Go to a local dealership where you can inspect the vehicle in person before making such a major purchase.

I recently purchased a BMW iX through Carvana, and the experience exceeded my expectations. From browsing inventory to completing the purchase, the entire process was straightforward, transparent, and incredibly convenient. The vehicle was accurately represented online, including detailed photos and condition information, which gave me confidence in making the purchase. Communication throughout the process was excellent, with regular updates and clear instructions at every step.
Delivery was smooth and on schedule, and the BMW iX arrived in excellent condition—exactly as described. I was especially impressed by how easy Carvana made what is typically a time-consuming and stressful process. There was no dealership pressure, no lengthy negotiations, and no surprises. The combination of a premium vehicle and a seamless buying experience made this one of the best car purchases I’ve ever had. I would not hesitate to purchase from Carvana again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a modern, hassle-free way to buy a vehicle.

Overall it was less hassle than a dealership. I placed my order on a Wednesday night between 8 and 9pm and got a call maybe 10 minutes after warning me that my purchase was about to expire because I needed to confirm I have insured the car I just purchased. I explained that not only was it 9pm but I just completed the purchase 10 minutes ago. I don't know if this is a bug in their system or if they really expected I'd have taken care of the insurance in 10 minutes but I can tell you that even if Liberty Mutual was open at that hour the process wouldn't have been done in 10 minutes if I had a representative sitting next to me on my couch.
I got on the task first thing the next morning and within an hour had Liberty Mutual working on it. The paperwork was missing info from Carvana so I played the back and forth because suddenly it wasn't an emergency on Carvana's end. It took most of the next day just to get the right info to Liberty Mutual. The car did come as described however the front brakes and rotors need to be replaced. Carvana might have checked it for "safety" but they didn't check it for quality. There also seems to be some white paint splatter on the driver side. We're hoping it buffs out. It wasn't there in the images so not sure where it came from.

Very, very easy process. No hassling, no 'I have to talk with my sales manager', transparent pricing, straightforward pickup. Hard to imagine an easier process from beginning to end. Knew basically what vehicle I was looking for and, over several months, searched dealerships, online retailers, etc. Actually stopped in a local dealership or two to test drive a few vehicles and the same song-and-dance, same painful, unnecessarily drawn out 'sales pitch', etc. at both dealerships. Found what I was looking for eventually on Carvana, it was local, the price was well within my range, checked almost every box I was hoping to check. Just a few minutes online to purchase and arrange a pickup. Easy as it gets. Would highly recommend using Carvana again.

Carvana tried to sell me an unsafe car with serious brake and rust issues, refused to fix them, and still kept the $1,000 shipping fee. Shortly after delivery, I discovered the brakes were dangerously ineffective and nearly caused an accident on the highway. A mechanic found heavily rusted rotors and significant rust underneath the car. Despite advertising a 100-day warranty, Carvana refused to repair the braking issue. Thankfully, I was still within the 7-day return window. However, Carvana would not refund the $1,000 shipping fee, and I was told I could not get my trade-in vehicle back.
When the driver arrived to pick up the car, he seemed unaware of the mechanic's findings and actually questioned me about whether the rust was a problem. He also failed to bring the check for my trade-in as previously agreed. When I asked about it, he repeatedly insisted there was no check and pointed at his iPad rather than trying to resolve the issue. Only after I demanded he call someone did he attempt to get help. At that point, Carvana had my trade-in, had taken back the car, and I still had no check. I was left $1,000 poorer, without my original vehicle, and with nothing to show for the experience except frustration and wasted time.
The only silver lining is that Carvana now has the mechanic's report I spent part of my weekend obtaining. Hopefully they use it to fix the brakes before someone gets hurt driving this lemon. I feel insulted and robbed. I would only recommend Carvana to someone I wanted to punish. Save yourself the frustration and expense and look elsewhere. If Carvana responds now, my first question is: what changed? They had multiple opportunities to make this right. Empty apologies and performative empathy won't undo their repeated failures.

Absolutely amazing experience. The online portion and accessing paperwork was a breeze. I only had to pay the delivery fee down, which made the car so easy to access. When we arrived at the Carvana facility, our agent was ready to help us. It took us less than 10 minutes to verify insurance and IDs. The vending machine was such a cool experience. All around incredible.

When I finally decided on a vehicle to purchase from you, I went to my bank to inquire about financing for it, I returned home to purchase the vehicle only to find that during the hour I was gone, you raised the delivery fee $300. I suspect because you were alerted that a financial institution ran the VIN number and you knew that someone was about to purchase the vehicle. After much deliberation, I decided to purchase the vehicle anyway. During the purchasing process, you wanted to charge me $590 to deliver the vehicle for a 2 hour drive, so I decided to pick up the vehicle but you would not allow me to pick it up at the nearest dealership. Instead, I had to drive 2 1/2 hours to the dealership selected by your advocate.
On the drive home, the infotainment system completely began malfunctioning. I filed a claim with SilverRock and made an appointment with your approved mechanic. They said that the entire infotainment screen was bad and needed to be replaced, a $1,000 repair. I received a text from SilverRock a couple of days later stating that the repairs had been approved so I called your approved mechanic back to see if they had the part in yet and they told me that SilverRock had only approved about 80% of what the repairs were going to cost and I was responsible for the other $200 even though it states in the 100 day limited warranty that "The dealer will pay 100% of the labor and 100% of the parts for the covered systems that fail during the warranty period."
I suspect you knew the infotainment system needed to be repaired when you sold the vehicle but figured you could save $200 by repairing it through the warranty process by having me pay 20% of the repairs. This is day 10 of owning the vehicle and the part has not arrived at your approved mechanic so I have had a miserable driving experience without air conditioning, media, GPS, or any of the cabin controls that the infotainment system controls. I have to adjust the driver's seat and side view mirrors every time I enter the vehicle, which when I'm running errands is 6-10 times in one day because I cannot save a driver's profile. I don't even know if 90% of the cabin features work because they are controlled by the infotainment system. I do not trust Carvana, SilverRock, Bridgecrest, your approved mechanic, or anyone associated with Carvana and what's worse, is that I don't love, like, or trust the vehicle I purchased from you.

The ordering process is seamless. Find the vehicle you like, order it and Carvana takes it from there. I found the pickup of the vehicle a little chaotic in that they throw a lot of paperwork at you without providing adequate time to review. Just sign, sign, sign...Here are the keys. I liked the fact that they let you drive the vehicle for 7-days to see if the vehicle will be a good fit for you. After this "grace period", then you get all the paperwork you signed when you picked up the vehicle.

Buyer Beware! The same car I returned to Carvana for some major mechanical issues is currently back up for sale with no indication of any repairs being done. I took it to a Chevy dealer for a Pre Purchase inspection as it ran so bad and the repair bill would have been $16000. I paid $420.00 for that inspection. Carvana may be a convenient way to buy a car, however - the quality of the cars they sell is suspect (hit and miss) some good some bad. Yes I returned the car within the 7 day period but lost out on the shipping charge. Buyer Beware and do your due diligence as quickly as possible or you may get stuck with a lemon. I contacted Carvana and their Advocate, however they really didn't want to know and suggested that the car had been fixed and returned to be sold. If anyone is looking for a 2019 Corvette on Carvana beware!

I sold my car to Carvana on May 28. After both the initial check and a second were returned unpaid (with no detail provided by Carvana), I ultimately discovered on June 17 this was due to fraudulent activity. A Carvana employee forged my signature and deposited the check into their own account on May 28. Three weeks later, I have not received any payment and do not have a vehicle. Carvana has been entirely unhelpful. They are refusing to cut a new check or work with their bank (Wells Fargo) to help resolve. My only option is to file my own affidavit of check fraud with Wells Fargo and report the incident to law enforcement.

Within a day of purchase my Mercedes E63 AMG had a suspension issue. The warranty company sent me to a Firestone because it's in network. I sat for four hours only for them to tell me what I already knew: they can't do the repair on that car. They sent me to the dealer and upon further inspection, it has several oil leaks and the suspension issue that would have cost over $20,000 to fix. Before you assume they were just trying to make a bunch of money off me, they knew they were going to have to go to Silver Rock, Carvana's warranty provider, and that the max they would pay is $12,000. They could have easily quoted only up to that amount and made their money. No, the tech was an E63 owner and told me straight up not to keep that car. I exchanged it for another AMG and it's sitting at the shop now. Oh, and less than 2 days after I returned the first car, it's sitting right back on the website for sale.

I will never purchase from Carvana again. I haven't had the car that long, a few months at this point and right after I get to the first oil change, which is conveniently pretty much when their warranty ends, I start to experience problems. I take it in, I find out engine pieces are warping and or missing, the tires have almost no tread on them, and the brakes are going to have to be replaced ASAP. I admit some fault on my own for not immediately getting it inspected by a mechanic I trusted, but I should need a mechanic to take apart the engine just to look for missing parts. There is a missing sensor that was rigged with electric tape to function without it. Carvana wipes its hands clean once it's past their warranty so I will be paying an extra few thousand for only a few of those issues. If you are desperate, then use Carvana, but do not trust them and maybe even see if you can get them to cover an in depth look by a mechanic.

I would give no stars if I could. Where do I start? The first vehicle that I purchased was a 2021 Jaguar XF. It had a few problems, but nothing more annoying than me having to stop and put air the same tire multiple times a day. I had to go to 3 different tire shops until someone realized that the inside of the rim was bent and cracked. Fast forward, I order the BMW 840i Gran Coupe. The car arrives with a missing fuse cover in the trunk, there’s a long and deep scrap on the front bumper and a small hole on the rear bumper along with scratches.
The net is coming down on the driver side corner of the sunroof. They approve to repair the front bumper and the net to the sunroof, but not the rear bumper, which in my opinion is the worse of them all. The issue is that I took a photo to upload too far from the damage on the rear bumper, so it appears to be more minor than it truly is. I call and ask the repress with Carvana if i could take a closer photo with a better angle for them to see the damages better and they won’t allow me to. I wish I could upload photos!

You can quickly order the car and set the price that you want to pay based on how much you’re willing to put as a down payment. Carvana doesn’t hesitate to withdraw that money… But the communication is a little vague at first. I’m honestly disappointed in the detailing of the car. For the car I purchased, only having one owner, it seems like that person really USED the car. I figured with a delay in delivery, the car would have came in better condition. That was not the case. The app is not very useful until AFTER the car is bought and delivered. So yes, Carvana is convenient for what it’s worth, but I only recommend if buying a car is not something you’re a pro at.

First, the delivery of the vehicle was delayed because the AC needed work. I would have expected that to be resolved before selling it and scheduling a delivery. And now I’ve discovered the rear license plate came be removed (even by the dealership) and now it’s on me to make another appointment to get that resolved with a garage. And Customer Service has been lacking. Everyone just directs you to the app which for me is not correctly updating or functioning as expected. So overall, it has not been a positive experience. My time is valuable and for something like this that isn’t a mechanical problem, I would expect Carvana to send someone out to make it right instead of sending me to a garage on my own time. License plate display is a state law and you keep referring to it as cosmetic. It isn’t cosmetic if it’s the law.

The buying and delivery process are extremely convenient. At that point of the experience, I was ready and willing to be Carvana's greatest advocate. Unfortunately, the vehicle had tires with little to no tread on the inside, gashes on the inside of the tires, and about $4,000 worth of repairs caught on an independent inspection. Not easily missed things, but major transmission and coolant leaks. Carvana did allow me to extend the return period, while waiting to see how the warranty process would go, but that was the only remedy they themselves would do. The warranty covered less than half the cost, and did nothing for the tires.
Carvana customer service is easy to get a hold of, so that is a plus, but is either unwilling or "unable" to do anything additional to help fix their issues. The 150 point inspection in this case was either a complete fabrication or is not something a buyer should rely on at all. I spent the first week with the vehicle unable to drive it, and on the phone with Carvana. Every employee was kind to deal with; but they would rather suggest returning the vehicle than paying for tires that were unsafe to drive on at delivery.
10/10 ease of delivery and paperwork process. Competitive price for a relatively hard to find vehicle. Customer service who you can get ahold of. 0/10 willingness to correct misrepresented vehicle issues. 0/10 willingness to push their warranty partner or cover their shortcomings. 0/10 accountability for misrepresented vehicle and unsafe delivery conditions (outside of saying, go ahead and return it then).

I had a really good experience overall with Carvana. The website is very informative and easy to navigate and pick out a car. It was really great not having to go to a dealer at all and having it delivered was a very smooth process. Bought a 2025 Honda Civic Hybrid and im very happy with it. Because its a newer Honda it still has a lot of the Honda warranty left on it so I felt safe buying it. Not sure how I'd feel buying an older car from Carvana but I can only talk about my experience. The one small complaint I have is the car hadnt been thoroughly cleaned. There were a few spots on the seats and interior that just needed a quick detail cleaning, nothing major. It does say on the website that Carvana saves you money by selling you the car with some "imperfections" that were already there. My only other small complaint was I felt a lil rushed by the people dropping off the car.
They did let me inspect the car and test drive it and ask me if I had any questions. By the time I got back from my test drive they were in the truck waiting to leave. Just felt like they were in a hurry. I really didnt have many questions anyway because everything you need to know is on the website, very clear and detailed. The whole process only took like 20 mins which is great compared to sitting in a dealership for hours waiting on salesmen. You sign most of the papers online quick and easy, only a few things to sign at delivery.
I also appreciate having 7 days to decide if I wanted to keep the car. I knew on day 2 I was in love with my car. The Honda warranty was all the assurance I needed. Not sure how smooth the process would have been if I wasn't happy, or wanted a return. Overall I am extremely happy with my car from Carvana and the experience was fast and easy, will probably never go to a dealer again. I would just recommend anyone using Carvana do a lot of research on the car youre buying ahead of time, the Carvana website was very detailed and helpful in this process.

This is the second time Carvana has left me without a car and made last minute changes to my order. This second time I even contacted them to ensure the delivery was still set for the following day. Never again will use this service. They are no better than sleazy car dealerships.

The vehicle is what I expected, good. The delivery driver was polite and professional. The service with a couple of issues was lackluster if not poor. We had an A/C problem discovered hours after receiving the car but they wanted us to take the vehicle 50 miles and leave it for several days to repair and would only offer reimbursement if the problem was approved afterwards. I took it to a shop locally and had the problem solved and back in 2 hours at my own expense, $245.00.

Bought a 2018 BMW. Carfax seemed clean. We were required to put a required down payment of $1700 and pay shipping costs sight unseen before we could even see, inspect or drive the car. Delivered was as planned on a Saturday. Was told ahead of time we could test drive, inspect, and for any reason we could refuse delivery and the transaction would be void. The driver, upon arrival, wouldn't take the car off the flatbed until we signed the registration documents. When I asked about the test drive, she told me they don't allow test drives and cited some kind of "Arizona rules prohibiting that".
We're in California, so I was never sure why Arizona came into play. She said she only has 20 minutes to deliver the car, and if we refused delivery, then the next appointment she had with someone else would need to be changed, as theirs was a pickup and she needed the flatbed for it. So, she needed us to sign the paperwork, and that's what the 7-day return is for, provided no more than 400 miles have been put on the car: "even if you didn't like the color, you could return or exchange it." She made sure to tell us that they filled the gas tank because it was empty. Didn't know that was a thing until reading other reviews on here that some didn't get their car with gas in it!
We noticed right off the bat that the front end and the hood of the car had a paint and texture mismatch (showroom finish on the bumper but dullness on the hood. So, right there, we knew something had been repaired and not reported. Anyhow, we drove it around town and wanted to see what was inside, so we pulled the manual out. The manual was musty, had mold on it, and all the pages stuck together as if they were dumped in a bucket of water at some point, and attempted to dry. We figured no big deal; we'll just buy a new manual.
While driving within 8 miles of taking delivery of the car, a code popped up on the dash: "Chassis Stabilization: Drive Moderately." We called Carvana immediately, and they opened a ticket with SilverRock under the 14-day $0-deductible warranty. They sent us a list of approved "in-network" mechanics near us, and one happened to be someone we trust and have used with our other cars. We asked about a dealer, but they told us that's "out of network and wouldn't really be needed unless something seriously wrong, and under the 150-point inspection that's done, it shouldn't be". The error code had since gone away and hadn't come back before we took the car to the mechanic.
Within 5 hours of being at the mechanic, I received a text and an email from SilverRock stating that they had authorized a dealer of our choice to take the car in for service and they'd waive the $350 out-of-network deductible". When picking up the car from the "in-network" mechanic. I asked them what they found that they weren't able to fix. THIRTEEN codes popped up on the diagnostic they did. All related to the transfer case/transmission, the ABS system (brakes) and the ECM (electrical components). All VERY important things with a car. A mechanic even from down the street was there at the shop also, and they all said the same exact thing: RETURN THE CAR!
When I looked up the codes myself, one of the major reasons those could have happened stood out to me: it said, "water damage". With the manual the way it was in the car and mud on some parts that wouldn't routinely have mud (crevices of the sunroof and under the hood of the car in pockets not exposed to elements), we're convinced the car was water damaged, cleaned up off the Carfax records, and the title, and then sold to us. We initiated a return the day after we took it to the mechanic, it was picked up yesterday, and the refund is in my account today.
I'm highly convinced that the car we purchased had its codes cleared in order to pass the smog inspection, in the hope that they wouldn't alert until after the return period was complete. That is an extremely poor business practice if that's really the case, and it's endangering people's lives and their families. Everyone was friendly, and my return process was quite easy, although I see not everyone has had that experience. I will NEVER buy another Carvana car, and this experience has tainted my view of non-dealership-related car purchases.

Don't expect a great Facebook or any other online review from me on selling my car today. It was a nightmare, which is still ongoing after your driver has been here for 2-1/2 hours! The car is loaded onto your truck, I have a check. The driver was very nice, but he just screwed up and locked the cards/keys and my check in the car and I couldn't help get into the car. After standing in the sun for over an hour, I gave up and retreated to inside my home. Carvana sent someone to bend the driver's window enough to activate the door latch. To think that I paid $290 for this pickup is outrageous, but my wife won't drive on the Interstate around here so, for a 20 mile drive, I paid for terrible service. I expected a full refund of that charge, as when I was working before retiring 11 years ago, my billing rate was $125/hr minimum for weekdays 8-5PM.
Carvana is compensating(?) me with a $50 refund, saying that they HAVE TO PAY their driver for his time (2-1/2+ HRS) and gas for all this time, caused solely by his error! And, this driver insisted that I include my mobile connector, which he INSISTED is the "charger". He finally left with the car, but the bad taste in my mouth and impression in my brain after standing outside in 92 degree heat, is not likely to leave me soon. I should have stayed with the trade in from Tesla, but at the last minute, Carvana upped their offer so I changed to them. MY MISTAKE, which I will never make again!

An absolute NIGHTMARE. To look at the vehicle 2020 Lincoln Nautilus, it's beautiful, very few scratches. Our attempt to purchase a 2022 Nautilus went well until the date of delivery (May 16th) and the driver ended up calling me to let me know that there was some damage to the bottom of the vehicle so we refused it after seeing the pictures of the damage. We later went back on the Carvana site and found another vehicle to swap it out with. Completed all of the paperwork and scheduled for it to be delivered on May 22nd. Received a call within an hour telling me that I needed to upload the insurance information for the swap out. I explained that I would get it on Monday because the agency was closed and the vehicle wasn't scheduled to be delivered until that Friday, the caller said that would be fine and we got off the phone.
I received several calls and texts that Monday the 18th about the missing insurance information and I had to keep explaining to them that the insurance company was working on switching out the policy. I stopped by the agency on Monday afternoon at 4:52pm, picked up the new binder information and uploaded it to the Carvana site at 5:15pm EST. I received another call at 6:42 pm EST stating that the information was received and after reviewing it everything was in order however he needed me to upload it again with all four corners visible and it needed to be uploaded by 8pm or it would cancel my upcoming Friday delivery.
I confirmed that they were on EST and asked him to give me a few minutes to get outside as I was as the nursing home with my mother. I walked outside at 6:47pm EST, uploaded the information with all four corners visible and went back in to the account to make sure it was there. I waited in the parking lot until 7:20pm EST just in case they called. Pulled into my driveway at 8:02pm EST with several texts stating that I had failed to upload the documents by 8pm EST and my delivery appointment had been cancelled.
I immediately called customer service and spoke with Shameka, once again confirmed they were on EST as she proceeded to tell me that I had not submitted the proper documents. She ended up getting our appointment rescheduled after several arguments back and forth and determining that the paperwork was in fact submitted on time and they failed to review it. Vehicle was delivered on May 22nd by Jaylen and Brandon and I will say they were amazing. We test drove the vehicle and it purred like a kitten.
On 6/1 I had to drive the vehicle to Columbia and noticed the vehicle skipping and shaking like it didn't want to go. Called SilverRock (another nightmare) on 6/3 to find out where to take it to be checked out. Our town only has two authorized locations. I scheduled an appointment for 6/6 to have a diagnostic scan done, however the manager(Bradley) of Firestone called on 6/4 to tell me that he would be short handed on that Saturday (6/6) and needed to move me to Sunday at 8am. I got there on Sunday and Bradley informed me that the only guy that knows how to submit the SilverRock claims had just called out sick about 15 minutes prior and they would not be able to service my vehicle. I then asked if as the manager did he not know how to submit the claim request and he told me NO. Our only other location is located on our local base and that requires military access in order to go to them for service.
I called SilverRock back on Monday 6/8 and spoke with Sophie, who then insisted that I drive it back to Columbia to Pep Boys to be inspected and have the diagnostic testing done, so I made an appointment with them to be there first thing Tuesday(6/9) morning. I checked in with Mike who quickly got someone on it. After they test drove it, they came back in and informed me that I needed to get it to a dealership immediately because it was the transmission and they don't service the transmissions. He stated he would have to call SilverRock back and let them know what was going on with the vehicle and recommend to them to either swap this vehicle out since we've only had it about 2 weeks or they can send authorization for it to go to a dealership for an estimate and repairs.
So now all we can do is sit and wait and NOT even drive the vehicle because the transmission can go out at any time. What started out as a Mother's Day gift from my husband has turned into a nightmare. This has been the worst experience ever, and I'll never ever purchase another vehicle from Carvana nor will I recommend them to anyone.

Bought a $40,590 Lexus ES from Carvana only to find it came with one key set. They offered $250 to cover it — insulting for a car at this price. I authorized the purchase Sunday night at 11pm EST and cancelled Monday morning before any bank opened and before any ACH was ever initiated. No money ever moved. After 180 minutes on the phone between Drew N. and manager Sabrina, not one solution was offered. Drew confused ACH with a wire transfer, disconnected the call, and refused to let me speak to anyone else. Sabrina then cancelled my entire order — the exact opposite of what I asked.
Carvana is now holding $35,000 of my money for 10-15 business days on a transaction that never cleared, while earning interest on my funds as I have zero access to my own money. I escalated this directly to CEO Ernie Garcia by email and received no response.

The car was clearly not properly inspected, and their so‑called 150‑point inspection feels like nothing more than marketing. After purchasing the vehicle, I brought it to a mechanic and discovered multiple issues that should have been caught before sale. Several cosmetic defects were also never disclosed in the listing. When I picked up the car, I walked around it with their advocate, who took detailed notes on every issue I pointed out. Despite doing this in front of me, none of those notes were recorded or used anywhere in their system.
It has now been almost three weeks, and I am still dealing with their SilverRock warranty to get approved repairs completed. Even after certain items were approved, SilverRock has refused to let the body shop proceed, leaving me stuck in limbo. Overall, this has been an extremely negative experience from start to finish.

I purchased a 2023 Mercedes-Benz C-Class on 5/6/2026 for nearly $40,000 cash. At pickup I immediately noticed a chip in the windshield and flagged it to the representative who walked me through my paperwork and explained the 7-day policy. I spent the full week driving the car to make sure there were no other issues before submitting my claim. On Day 6 (5/12/26) I submitted through Carvana's platform and received a confirmation email stating I'd hear back within 48 hours. I never did.
When I called on 5/22/26 I spent 42 minutes on the phone being told no claim was on file and that the 7-day window had already passed. The representative's manager ultimately said nothing could be done because the chip was outside the driver's line of view. I have the confirmation email. I followed every step I was told to follow. Carvana's own return policy only requires the customer to make contact within 7 days — and I did, with written proof. Their failure to process and follow up on my claim should not fall on me as the customer. Spending this much money and being dismissed over a pre-existing defect I reported on time is deeply disappointing. I am now pursuing a formal dispute. I hope Carvana takes this seriously, because right now their process is failing customers after the sale is complete.

Carvana's process for trading in and buying a car is flawed, and places financial burden on the buyer when things don't work out. In addition, Carvana offers little in the way of solutions, placing the burden again, on the buyer. Yes, the customer service reps were available, and the chat-bot (Sabastian) is actually helpful, but their ability to provide solutions is extremely limited, apparently by management.
Specifically: I purchased a CRV around May 4, and made an appointment to pick it up in Philadelphia (an hour from my house). I drove my (then) current car there & traded it in. I was aware I would not have the opportunity to get that car back, but I had wrongly assumed the car I was getting would be ok. It was not. See the photo of the mechanic's report - this car was in awful condition, and so I returned it (via a pick up)
I called customer service and arranged for the credit. During that, I found another car to my liking, and arranged to acquire it. I was told it would be available for pick up on May 14. That morning, 60 minutes before I was to leave to get it, I got an email saying it was delayed, and would be available on the 18th. I arranged for the new time, and also called to see why it was delayed. The customer service rep said she did not have, nor could get that information.
Monday morning the 18th, I again receive an email saying the car will not be ready until Thursday the 21st. I now called customer support and demanded to know why it was delayed, and was informed that it was due to waiting on new tires. So apparently, they do know why and hadn't disclosed this earlier? I then asked to speak to a supervisor and explained how these delays, which Carvana only notifies me of 2hrs before pick up, is causing me to find other forms of transportation at the last minute, at expense to me. I asked for free delivery, but he said he could only grant $250 off the total price.
You can only guess what happened on May 21st. I get a v/m at 8:01 saying the car isn't ready, and that maybe I ought to start looking for another car. I called customer service, asked for the supervisor, and explained the whole scenario. He replied that, because the v/m said I ought to look for another car, then perhaps there are more problems with the one I was trying to purchase that merely a flat tire. I wanted to speak with his supervisor at this point, but apparently he was the end of the line for customer contact. To his enormous credit (Joshua?), he spent time going through the current inventory to provide a solution, and we actually found a CRV that met my needs, bought it, and it was delivered the next day. However, I would think the delivery charge would have been waived at this point, but he said he was unable to do that, and apparently, I had no other channel to appeal. I was just happy to have a car, which is in good shape.
In summary, while I could see getting a "lemon" first time around, I cannot see the runaround I got when trying to get a replacement. Three delays, misdirection each time, feigned ignorance of why it was delayed or outright lying about its condition, do not make me confident about the type of training your people receive. Furthermore, it seems that management is too cowardly to get involved and hide behind the youngest, less experienced reps. Why this lack of transparency? Why the last minute appointment changes? Why is there no room for negotiation given to the customer service reps? Why is it hard to find someone who can actually fix the problem?

I do really like the car but there were some problems in the whole experience. After paying nearly $2,000 for shipping, the vehicle was damaged during shipping. Carvana/SilverRock is addressing the damage but now I am out a car as they already took the trade in. Secondly, when I arrived at the Body shop, they informed me that the front end had been replaced and was not factory - this was not listed in the information on the vehicle. Thirdly, I had set a down payment on the vehicle, which mysteriously disappeared in the process and was not applied to the financing. In working with the lender there is nothing I can do at this point besides making a large principal payment that would have no impact to my monthly payments and would only shorten the length of the loan.

First of all, it's no wonder all of the reviews on Carvana's website are good. I am actually a customer, and I cannot even leave a review on their website! So be cautious, because I'm not sure how people are "invited" to review, but I am NOT a happy customer so perhaps that's why I didn't get the invite.
Where to begin? To make a very long story short, purchasing a vehicle through Carvana has been a tremendous headache. They have made so many unfulfilled promises (such as delivery dates), the chat assistance is complete crap and stops responding to me, and JUST when you think you're finally done and the purchase is complete (I mean, they tell you "Congratulations! The car is yours!"), they come back with something else that they need.
I am paying CASH with a trade-in for a car, and I have never in my life had such a difficult time! You would think they'd want the money... I'm sure I'll be leaving a LOT out of this review to try to keep it short and to the point. But here is how my experience essentially went:
I chose a vehicle. Initially, I was going to finance it. I had the purchase (financing) and my trade-in all set up and ready to go. Clicked to confirm the purchase. Got a delivery date of 5/30. Perfect. Received an email from Carvana asking me to upload my title and other documents. I did. Received an email the next day and THE DAY BEFORE MY DELIVERY DATE telling me that my title is titled in the wrong state, and I need to upload a title from the correct state. Well. That's a mess! And not their fault at all. So I looked into this and discovered that I was now looking at probably 2 weeks before I'd have the correct title in my hands. I pushed out the delivery date to 6/12 and set up an appointment with the DMV and decided instead of financing to pay cash.
THEN, in another email on May 29, Carvana tells me that my documents (title and all) have been approved. Awesome! I went ahead and canceled the DMV appointment and rescheduled my delivery for 6/2. I can't even tell you how many "Woohoo! Marissa, your order just got approved!" and "Your appointment is rescheduled" emails I have in my inbox from Carvana. After all was said and done, when I finally PAID for the vehicle yesterday (6/1) in cash, the soonest delivery date that was available was 6/5. OK. I took it.
Keep in mind that Carvana requires you to provide proof of insurance PRIOR TO THEM DELIVERING YOUR CAR. What this means is that I have now added, removed, added, removed, added (and now need to again remove) the vehicle that I was purchasing on my policy. Currently, I am insuring a vehicle NOT in my possession (and which will never BE in my possession after today), and my own car is now not insured.
OK. So delivery will be 6/5. Alright. So I updated EVERYTHING I could think of. Toll tag info. Reservations for a ferry (with the car) that I have coming up in July. EVERYTHING has been updated with this other car's VIN. The purchase was made, the money was transferred to Carvana. I ordered a few things for the new car. Some of them arrived today (Amazon is fast).
I received an email from Carvana this morning advising that I needed to sign and have notarized a POA so that Carvana could "sign on my behalf" for registration etc., and did all of this through a Zoom call with an online notary per their instructions. (A notary working for them.) Good to go, right? You would think. But you'd be wrong.
This time I get a phone call from Carvana after 2 pm my time. I missed the call but the voicemail message said that they would not be able to deliver my car until they got the proper title. SERIOUSLY?!? THIS AGAIN???? I thought this had been resolved! And he further tells me in the voice mail (left after 2 pm) that I have until 5 PM MY TIME to take care of this!!!
I lost it. I started shaking with anger and frustration. IT WILL TAKE 2 WEEKS for me to HAVE A NEW TITLE in HAND. My title is GOOD, it's just that it's from the state I was living in when I purchased the vehicle, and I no longer live there. They need a title from THIS state. And I get that. That's fine. BUT DON'T TELL me EVERYTHING is APPROVED and GOOD TO GO, and then turn around and call me 3 HOURS before my DEADLINE to tell me everything is in fact NOT GOOD TO GO!!
But it gets better. I called immediately. It was about 2:30 my time when I called. I wanted to find out what options I had. Should I pull the trade-in out? What if I just sold my car to them outright? Here's what I was told: I could sell them my car outright with the title I have, but they wouldn't be able to get me the money for at least a few days (even with ACH). So that wouldn't work if I wanted to keep going with this purchase.
When the agent tried to see what the total would be without the trade-in, instead of giving me that information when he got back on the line, he got back on the line to tell me that by doing what he'd done, we lost my delivery date of 6/5, and the SOONEST we are looking at now is 6/8! We never even got into the details about how much more it would cost me without the trade-in. I was WAY TOO tired of dealing with them by this point. AND YET, IT STILL GETS BETTER.
So I finally told them to cancel my order. Here's me thinking, it took my bank ONE DAY to get $24k transferred to Carvana's bank. Surely, Carvana can refund me back by the end of the week so I can use that money to go purchase a car elsewhere!
HAHA. NOPE. It takes 10-15 - NOT from TODAY, but from the time "THEY RECEIVE THE CANCELLATION" (whatever that means) before they initiate the REFUND!!! So they are literally HOLDING ON to my money while I sit here without the car. I DESPISE this company. I HIGHLY recommend staying AWAY from them.

We placed an order for our 2023 Defender 90 S and planned on trading in our 2011 Honda CR-V as part of the deal. We had all the paperwork signed, and delivery was expected on May 22, 2026. At the last minute, my wife decided she wanted to be generous and see if we could change the deal so we would no longer trade in the Honda. She felt in her heart that we should donate it instead. The representative we worked with was very helpful and changed the deal for us at the last minute. We were hoping to beat the clock and still receive delivery of the Defender 90 that same day. We even came up with an additional $4,000, which was roughly the trade-in value we were receiving for the Honda, plus a little more. Unfortunately, we did not beat the clock and instead took delivery the next day, Saturday, May 23rd.
The part I struggle with, and the reason I called and spoke with representatives and managers, was what happened when I reviewed the “new” paperwork after revising the deal with more money down and no trade-in. The interest rate had gone up 3 points, and our payment was higher. As I mentioned, I contacted Carvana and spoke with a representative and the representative’s manager, only to be told that, sorry, it is what it is and it cannot be changed. We have purchased three or four other vehicles from Carvana in the past and truly feel it is a superior way to shop for and purchase cars. I would love to keep Carvana as my dealer of choice going forward, but the lack of flexibility here is disappointing. The fact that we chose to do a “better” thing and were penalized for it is quite disturbing and puts everything into question about the process.
It felt sneaky because I was not warned about the change, and due to the attempt at expediency, I overlooked it. Yes, that is my fault for not fully reading over every detail again, but I thought I was getting the same deal. I am left feeling a bit taken advantage of. I suppose the saying is true in many cases: “No good deed goes unpunished.” Please do what you like with this, but after seeing the opportunity to share my experience I felt it was important that you received my feedback. Thank you very much, Jason **.

We went to the Carvana lot instead of paying the extra for delivery. That part was easy, they gave us a decent amount of time to look over the vehicle and do a test drive. The advocate there was very nice and had no problem giving us time we needed. The problems we pointed out (tires were absolutely terrible on the vehicle) were not able to be dealt with at that time. We ended up doing the deal and drove home the next day (5/24/2026). The check engine light came on before we started back home (a 2 hour drive) and there was a popping noise coming from the front at low speed. We were able to secure an appointment to get the vehicle looked at locally thru SilverRock warranty that Carvana uses, this was 5/26/2026. It took longer than expected due to the shop's schedule but they actually covered the repair for the popping noise (just a loose sway bar) and even replaced the tires with the same brand YAY!
Problem is, the repair shop was unable to fix the check engine light. I made an appointment for a dealer at SilverRock's suggestion (5/28/2026) where it still is as of 6/2/2026. I reached out to Carvana to extend my 7 day trial as I basically drove the vehicle home and to the repair shop. They could only give me 2 days thru the chat but was supposed to send a request for more time. THAT DID NOT HAPPEN. So now I'm stuck with this vehicle that has been sitting at repair shops for a week now.

I am a disabled veteran 15 years of military service. I am currently a police officer 8 years of service. Carvana had my dream truck. I paid the shipping fee and the downpayment. Carvana shipped the truck. I waited 2 weeks. After two weeks I called Carvana to find out the vehicle was in Oklahoma. I volunteered to drive up and pick it up, however they assured me they would transport. Another week went by and the vehicle showed up. I drove 43 miles to location to pick up the vehicle. Upon arrival they said my trade in was being rejected. They said I could not pick the vehicle up on that day and would need to reapply. I contacted Carvana and they admitted the vehicle mileage had been entered into their system in error.
They told me the vehicle was no longer at the location and could not be purchased. The following day I received an email saying the vehicle was on its way. I called carvana and they said the vehicle had mechanical issues. Carvana then told me it was fixed and I could continue the purchase. The advocate was unable to adjust the trade in mileage. They told me it would be 48 hours before they could change the mileage. Once they did I could pick up the vehicle. I called back 48 hours later and they said it still was showing the incorrect mileage. The next day they called and said the mileage had been fixed.
I requested to have the advocate proceed with the purchase since I was already on the phone. The advocate then told me it would be an additional 8k to pick the vehicle up. Carvana advertises vehicles at false prices and then charges you downpayment and shipping and holds your money several weeks. After you are exhausted they raise the price and try to get you to chose another vehicle. As a veteran whom suffers from PTSD and a officer who willingly accepts community problems. It was extremely disheartening. Carvana is such a low agency. If you are someone looking to purchase do not purchase from Carvana unless you want them to choose the vehicle they want you to have. The vehicle you choose will just go back on their website for their next victim.

Horrible experience! The 2 employees at the Denver location did not show me how to operate the Tesla. They walked off, and I was left to figure it out by myself. I was driving the vehicle back to Montana. When I arrived to my first supercharger I was unable to charge the vehicle as they did not register it in my name. When I called Carvana, they pushed the issue off and told me I needed to call Tesla customer service. I called and was informed it could take up to 3 days before I can get the vehicle registered to me and only then could I charge. Luckily, Tesla customer service provided me with a world-class experience and was able to get it done in less than 5 hours. The car also gave me a low coolant warning on the screen. Still trying to figure out service and warranty with Carvanas 3rd party warranty and finding a service provider.

Wow, what a super easy experience. I was worried that the stated quality of the BMW was going to be worse when it actually showed up, but it was so much nicer I could not believe it! The car also is completely covered in PPI film, which was a nice surprise. Still smells new, even having 54k miles. Super easy experience with the vehicle drop off, and really liked having the 7-day test drive to make sure nothing went wrong after delivery. I try to never go to dealerships anymore, and normally go to CarMax or other "no haggle" locations, but they still try to pressure you into buying extended warranties and whatnot. Carvana, you don't even need to talk to anyone at all and can accept or reject whatever you want. Super enjoyable experience and recommend you try it for your next car!

When I received the Honda CRV, there was A LOT of scratches and marks on the car that were NOT disclosed on your website or pictures. For example, there is a huge scratch on the front hood from what looks like a tow truck back end hitting it. A lot of scratches all along the entire side of the vehicle. Even a few deep scratches that someone tried to touch up with paint that was not the same color black of the vehicle. It's worth mentioning when someone submits all of their documents before the cutoff time due, they get their vehicle on the delivery date as promised. Paying almost 600 bucks to have it delivered and it was pushed back 2 days because the paperwork was verified was not ok. Then no compensation or anything for it.

I initially took delivery of a 2021 Toyota Highlander, but unfortunately, it arrived with a noticeable, persistent odor. With a newborn son and a full house to transport, a clean and comfortable ride is completely non-negotiable for us. Carvana didn't miss a beat. They immediately arranged a hassle-free exchange for a pristine 2023 Highlander that ultimately ended up being a much better fit for our growing family's needs. Their team made what could have been a massive headache completely effortless. Their customer service is the absolute best in the business—responsive, understanding, and incredibly efficient.

The car delivered was dirty, liquid stains on the carpet, a dirty hair brush in the truck, multiple items smashed into the holes of the seats that had to be scrubbed out. No floor mats. I called and said the deal was off. I didn’t want the car. I could not get my car back, it just left and was still on the delivery truck! I asked to meet the truck at the Carvana location and give the car back as I just wanted my car back. They said they owned it now and they could exchange the new car for another car, or give me money back, but I could never have my car back that they just took 10 minutes ago. What a shady operation.

I have 2 reasons, the 2 back tires were not the same size or type of tires that were on the front, this could have powertrain issues if left like that, we immediately bought 2 tires. Second reason is that the Jeep Gladiator did not have a good detail, we spent 3 hours the day we bought it getting all the mud and dirt off it and cleaning the inside too. There is no way the 150 point inspection was done, most items were covered in dirt and mud. I did like the ease of the purchase and it was the vehicle we were looking for with low miles and a good price.

Everything has been great as far as the delivery process and use of the app and the ordering process. The only issue I have is the scratches and wear and tear on this vehicle are the reason I’m returning it. I really like the car, but there’s more damage than what was shown in the pictures. I took it to a body shop and it would be 4 to 5K to fix it along with having to fix the curved wheels which weren’t in any of the damage pictures. If Carvana could help me address this through a shop that you all have ties with or some kind of credit off the purchase price to cover some of the repairs I would keep the car. If not, I understand, but I would say no one would want to spend 100 K on a car and it have the amount of unseen scratches and scuffs, and wear and tear that this one does. On top of that paying $290 for shipping when all the damage wasn’t shown is kind of discouraging.

I recently bought a car from Carvana, and what should have been an easy process turned into a stressful nightmare. 🚗 After a 2+ week delay, 20+ phone calls, conflicting information, and repeated promises that turned out to be false, I finally received my vehicle. My credit union overnighted a $35,000 check, yet I was repeatedly told I needed documents no one mentioned upfront or listed on my dashboard.
I was promised weekend delivery multiple times, only to find out later the department handling my purchase wasn’t even working weekends. Meanwhile, I was already paying insurance on a car I didn’t have. When the car finally arrived, there were issues not disclosed online: paint residue on the hood, windshield chips, dirty wheels, and even registration paperwork with the wrong name. The car also arrived with only half a tank of gas. Shoutout to the delivery driver for being kind, but overall this experience was frustrating, time-consuming, and disappointing—especially as a busy mom working 12-hour shifts. I expected better communication and honesty. Just sharing my experience so others know what to expect.

One of the best car-buying experiences I’ve had in the 30+ years of purchasing vehicles. My requirements were very specific, and Carvana’s website made it incredibly easy to filter through inventory and narrow down the exact make, model, and year I was looking for. Before making the final decision, I still visited a few local dealerships to see similar cars in person and get a feel for the interior and driving comfort.
That experience only reinforced my decision to go with Carvana. The dealer quotes were significantly higher, and the actual car quality often didn’t match what was advertised. Once I confirmed the model was right for me, the rest of the Carvana process was seamless. Ordering the car was simple, pickup from their lot near my home was convenient, and the vehicle was fully inspected and ready for me to drive away. What stood out most was how stress-free the entire experience felt. No pressure, no endless negotiations, and no dealing with aggressive sales tactics. Just a smooth, transparent process from start to finish. I honestly don’t see myself going back to traditional dealerships again.

I purchased a 2020 Volvo S60 Momentum on 5/9/26 from Carvana. At first, I was impressed with the professionalism of the service but 17 days later, I am not. First, I noticed the performance of the safety system while driving on the road was overreacting. I found the vehicle had 3 different makes and models of tires which was affecting the safety feature performance. I had to purchase a full set of new Michelin tires, which has taken care of the issue. This was not disclosed in the vehicle prospectus. It is also standard knowledge that today's vehicles need matching sets of tires, which otherwise can lead to drivetrain damage and more. Other issues: the moon roof does not close properly after opening, and a rust spot from rock damage was clearly visible above the windshield on the passenger side (this was noticed within the 7-day "guarantee" period and is being repaired at no cost).
Yesterday (5/26), the car was brought to the body repair shop to repair rust damage, and my son noticed the driver's side mirror housing is cracked and internally damaged. Carvana will not fix this because it is out of the 7-day guarantee period. Clearly, all of these issues should have been disclosed before purchasing the vehicle. Further, Carvana likes to tout their 150 point inspection process before selling a vehicle. In my onion it is blatantly obvious these mechanical and cosmetic issues were overlooked and not disclosed. I give Caravan points for their ease and professionalism when purchasing a vehicle. Like any other used car sales business, it is buyer beware. Lesson is to make sure you go over any vehicle you buy from Carvana very closely within the 7-day guarantee period. Unfortunately, the photos I have won't upload.

I can't find the order number. Overall, kind of frustrated with the Carvana experience. First issue was the expected delivery date. I was on a very compressed timeline, being in the military between duty stations. Part of my shopping criteria was delivery date making sense. I selected this vehicle which said "pick it up on Monday" and delivery date would be before I started travel. I felt like it was a "bait and switch" when I completed the order process and then when I went to schedule pickup, the earliest date available was not Monday but 5 days later! So then I had to reschedule my whole travel plans to accommodate this new earliest pickup. It felt very scummy when I was a victim of your false advertising. If you cannot accurately advertise a vehicle delivery date, I think it would be better to not advertise it at all! Next Issue. I'm having multiple conversations about this issue with your team.
While everyone I talked to was great and friendly, I felt like I talked to at least 5 different people who I had to explain my situation to over and over like groundhog day! So frustrating! It would of been nice to have one dedicated person assigned to my purchase process who I could continue to work with on the issues I was having. Next issue. The vehicle pickup date was delayed AGAIN due to a maintenance issue found. I understand that these things happen but again, don't advertise that a vehicle is available and available on a certain date if you haven't even done the point inspection yet! Next issue. I asked to have the maintenance records of the glo plug and wire harness fix before I received the vehicle sent to me. I have still not been sent the information.
Next issue. After all of these issues, never was I offered any compromise and discount. Because of all the delays, I could not receive my vehicle on time to travel to my next duty station, nor could I even drive the vehicle during the 7 day trial because I had to report to work across the country. SO, I have to now have my Dad ship my vehicle across the country to my new duty station which is costing me $3100 and I have a rental car which will cost me $1900 while I wait for my truck to arrive. Overall, not having to deal with a dealership is a blessing. However, it didn't feel much better having to deal with all of this.

I purchased my first electric car, a Tesla, through Carvana, without prior experience with electric vehicles. Before my appointment, Carvana confirmed the car vending machine process and assured me that an experienced employee would guide me, as I was nervous. Despite my expressed concerns—having read reviews that the vending machine often malfunctioned—I was assured it was working.
When I arrived at 10:00 a.m., the vending machine was broken, wasting my time. The car was handed over to me, and I traded in my previous vehicle. When I asked how to start the car, the Carvana employee admitted he had no experience with it. After some trial, I noticed the battery had only about 40 miles of range, while my drive was 67 miles. The employee told me to charge it at a Tesla station, saying it was easy.
I drove to the station but couldn’t get the car to charge. I called Carvana customer support, who told me I needed the Tesla app and a registration process. After downloading the app, it required a photo of the registration, but the photo I was given by the employee, was a random jumble of papers. A desk image, a picture of my license plate which sat beside someone else's, a fire safety certificate, and a photo of a cat, making the whole photo unusable. I called support again, and they told me to contact roadside assistance, which also couldn’t help. Another call to carvana support and I was told to call my insurance company??? After 5 HOURS of calls and being left in a parking lot in the heat, I was advised by yet another customer service employee to call a ride service. Carvana offered no further assistance. I was left stranded in a parking lot.
The car itself is fine, but the entire process was a disaster. It caused hours of unhelpful phone conversations, stress and anxiety. I have contacted a lawyer, as I believe I deserve compensation beyond a simple "I'm sorry that happened to you" by your leadership team. Carvana should not have let me leave that lot without a full charge or proper guidance on registration.

They hustle to make your pick up a positive and pleasant. I am enjoying my new car. The car was clean and looks new. They take the time detail your car before handing it over. They communicate all relevant part of your car sale continuously and even after the sale is complete to ensure your registration is received.

Carvana is misleading and unhelpful. The car came with substantial front end damage that wasn't noticeable the night they dropped it off. I haven't had a car for over a month and I still can't drive this one because there are no inspection stickers and I can't get them until after the plate comes. Someone should have noticed the wreck when it was being prepared for shipment. I should have the cost of the damage refunded to me so that I can have it repaired to the condition it was presented in on the website.
I received the car Monday, May 18th at 7pm. Today at 7pm would be seven days but that's not even the point. I reached out Thursday, and Friday to resolve this and Carvana waited until Sunday PM to respond on a HOLIDAY weekend when it was almost certain I would not be home to go on the computer to submit the damage claim. So essentially you gave me about six hours to put the claim in. I am submitting my complaint to the BBB and will make sure my friends and family know about this experience. Very, very disappointed and now I know why people just buy from a dealership.

I was very pleased with the vehicle I purchased, a 2018 Toyota Corolla LE. However, the Advocate (Vincente "Vinny" **) who delivered my car was not very knowledgeable or helpful, especially at the end when I really needed his help. First, he says I can take the car for a spin. I'm in the car getting ready, and Vinny is standing by the window. He's not doing anything for a while until he tells me I need to get out of the car. I need to sign the agreement, or everything is null and void. If that was the case, why did he say I can take the car for a spin in the first place?
Why did he not address me, signing the documents first and foremost? Then he sent those documents to my smartphone (which took a while to show up on my phone). It was hard to read where I needed to sign. Why did he not have it on his tablet? A couple of years ago, I sold my car to Carvana, and the Advocate I had was exceptional. I signed all the documents on his tablet. Then, as I was taking the car for a drive, I had these stickers on the driver's side window, and they were very distracting while driving. Vinny removed them, but one left a huge amount of residue on my windshield. I am still trying to get it off.
Lastly, I was trying to open the trunk with the key fob. I tried opening the door with it, too. It would not work, I figured it out. It was likely the battery. Vinny suggested I get a certain battery, a CR2032, or something like that. Later on, I purchased one on Amazon and had it delivered the same day. Guess what...Vinny gave me the completely wrong battery model number. Now I have to go to the UPS Store to get a refund. In the meantime, I later found out it is another battery model number for my exact key fob. Vinny was in his delivery truck when I tried to flag him down to come help me open the trunk manually with the key. He simply sat in his truck, ignoring me. I was in full view, and I know he saw me. That was literally the dealbreaker for me dealing with this inept Advocate of Carvana. Overall, it was highly frustrating with the delivery, but the car is a dream. Thank you.

I was just looking at first and then decided to press purchase. I at first “purchased” a 24 Equinox but saw the the 25 and decided I wanted that. I was able to chat with the AI chatbot and it guided me through being able to switch, it was seamless. Plus I only had my credit ran once, I didn’t have to sit in anyone’s dealership for a whole shift the. Making me feel bad because my credit isn’t the best. Carvanna showed me exactly what was in my price range and to my surprise it wasn’t 1986 Neons with 700,000 miles for 10,000 a month! lol. However the time it took for me to checkout was less than 30 mins. I uploaded my insurance and signed my contracts, this all at midnight on a Friday while I was out of town at a graduation! I chose delivery and Monday I got my car! I absolutely love it. Easiest process ever!

I had to pay $400 to repair and arm and ball (something like that) on the driver wheel. They literally heard sound when it was delivered it and the man told me that's the way it is.

The first first expedition we received was supposed to have a towing package installed. It did not so we had to go through a return process. Which was fine and great. Everyone was cooperative. It was fast easy and smooth. After we received the second vehicle, the side of the front 2 tires was completely bald. The mechanic and AI both told us that the tires were way too worn and they're not sure how it passed an inspection. So they need to be replaced. When we reported this to both Silver rock and Carvana, they completely denied the claim and fought us tooth and nail because they said the middle of the tire was still good. So it's okay to drive an unsafe tire because the middle still has tread. It makes a lot of sense. It's insane to me that you are willing and ready to put my family at risk and make me spend an extra six hundred dollars on a car that I just bought, because you didn't want to fix the issue that you sold me.
I was literally told by multiple carvana reps and silver Rock reps who saw the pitchers that they're not sure how the tires got past inspection. But then, when speaking to the claims expert, he said, wires literally had to be showing for them to replace it. If wires are showing the tire is gone, not going. The fact that they were so bald that normal people were looking at the pictures and saying, yeah, that's not right yet. Your claims department kept denying. It is totally insane to me. You have no customer support and from what I've been reading online, you do this a lot.
To make it even better, the supervisor in charge of our case who we tried to call five days in a row and were told by everyone multiple times that he would call us back completely ignored us. We had service reps, tell us they could see him in the office, and they would force him to call us only for him. Not to call us. I will never buy a car from you again. I will never use your service again. Because anything I do buy from you. I have to spend my own money to fix. Because you're selling me pieces of shit. And you don't care at all.

Our experience with Carvana was absolutely amazing from start to finish! The entire truck purchasing process was super easy, stress-free, and the delivery experience was exceptional. A huge shoutout to Alyssa **, our MVR representative, who truly made this experience unforgettable. I shared with her that I was purchasing the vehicle as a surprise for my husband, and she was genuinely excited to be part of such a special moment. She went above and beyond by giving us a Carvana congratulations sign, and on the back she wrote, “To my love, from your love.” That thoughtful gesture was completely unexpected and added such a personal touch that meant so much to us.
When we were signing the documents, we noticed an error. Alyssa immediately jumped into action, contacted her manager, and reassured me she was going to get it fixed so she could leave the vehicle with us — and she did! Her professionalism, kindness, and dedication made the entire process seamless and memorable. Alyssa made this purchase experience truly outstanding, and because of her, we give Carvana a 10/10! Thank you for making this surprise for my husband even more special than I imagined.

This was my first time ever purchasing a vehicle online. Due to being hurt in an accident that totaled my vehicle I was unable to get out there and search for a vehicle the traditional way. I looked through some other site and found that Carvana was the better option. Your selection of vehicles is massive and priced very comparable. The description of the vehicle which included imperfections was accurate and the order process was fairly easy. The delivery person Ms. ** was very informative regarding the 7-day guarantee and how the exchange process works. She also allowed me to drive the vehicle prior to her leaving. I would most definitely recommend your company to anyone.

The buying process was incredibly easy and straightforward. Delivery was very easy. This would have made a 6 star review, except the car was a lemon.

I contacted Carvana and they encouraged me to schedule an appointment with SilverRock to assess, but I couldn't even get a reasonable appointment made. I traded the car within 7 days and fortunately the second car has met expectations. So I am thankful for Carvana's 7 day policy.

False: Seven-day money-back guarantee. Not only is that false, but the trial is a steal your money and your credit card information at the same time. Cover your wallet on this one - there is no contact information, you can not get back to your account once you put your information in. The whole site is set up to grab credit cards and such them dry in dribbles that they think you won't notice. Try to speak to anyone, it robots you until you give up, as they bleed millions of credit cards for $15 per month. And the product is junk, novice, garbage, and looks like a 7-year-old did the software. There are tons of better products on the market - dodge this one like a disease.

Carvana makes it sound great, then you book an appointment based on day maybe your flight time the following day. WATCH OUT, they change appointments times without a conversation, so if you have a flight, subtract another 1k dollars off your deal price because it just cost us $1050 in flights. They don’t care, they don’t reimburse or offer and concessions for them not honoring the deal everybody signed to. Sell your car personally if you can, they already undercut so they can resell obviously but then they hose you on top of it.

The truck I bought was not inspected whatsoever and has a ton of mechanical problems. I can’t get anyone to fix it, and it’s been two weeks, and I still can’t use it. Carvana was nice about it, offering to take it back, but it would have cost me a few thousand to do so. I decided to just keep it and try to get it fixed because it would cost so much if I returned it, and there was nothing in my price range coincidentally...
Carvana seems to just buy vehicles that look good and don’t inspect them, hoping you will do the same thing I did. In the end, they always make money, so they don’t care. I’d never buy from them again. The support crew was excellent in helping try to sort it out, though. In the end, I like my truck, but there’s so much wrong with it and will take months before I can use it. The warranty is taking care of the cost, but nothing can replace the time I’ve lost and will continue to lose on this purchase because Carvana does not inspect the vehicles.

Dear Carvana Customer Support, I am deeply disappointed with the condition of the vehicle when I collected it from the Beacon location. The interior was dusty and poorly cleaned, with mud on the floor mat and pedals, footprint marks on the back of the driver’s seat, and leaves inside the engine bay. In addition, there appeared to be hardened wax or tree sap residue throughout the exterior of the vehicle, including the roof, front windshield, and rear windshield. There were also numerous scratches on both the interior and exterior that were never highlighted in the vehicle photos or description. I further discovered multiple paint chip areas that had been poorly touched up with blobs of paint that were neither professionally blended nor smoothed out. These defects were not disclosed in the listing description.
1. Scratches behind both the driver and front passenger seats.
2. Interior surfaces that were not properly maintained or conditioned.
3. Cabin air filter filled with leaves and debris, and apparently never replaced.
4. Right front turn signal bulb not functioning.
5. Missing front license plate bracket, which required me to purchase a replacement myself.
6. A strong unpleasant odor inside the vehicle after removal of the air freshener placed by Carvana. I had to disinfect the interior myself and purchase additional air freshener gel products. Due to the smell, I avoided driving the vehicle for several days.
To date, I have driven the vehicle less than 100 miles. I also noticed that the vehicle performance feels sluggish, and the engine noise is considerably louder than expected. Regarding the vehicle condition, Mr. Jerome ** at the Beacon location also observed that the interior cleaning was poorly performed. He personally had to use chemicals to clean residue from both the front and rear windshields. At the time, I did not yet realize that additional residue was also present on the roof and other exterior surfaces. I took an Uber to reach the Beacon location and genuinely expected Carvana to uphold its reputation for quality online vehicle sales. Unfortunately, my overall experience has been very disappointing.
Since the vehicle is still within the 100-day warranty period, I would like to request approval for the following items under warranty coverage:1. Full interior and exterior detailing, including correction of paint chip touch-ups and scratch remediation.
2. Walnut blasting service to clean the intake manifold and intake valves, as this GDI engine appears to have significant carbon buildup causing sluggish performance and power loss. Based on the Carfax report, this maintenance does not appear to have been previously performed.
3 Reimbursement or coverage for installation of the front license plate bracket.
Please advise whether the above items can be reviewed and approved under the warranty claim process. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your response. Best regards, Suresh

My husband and I recently tried purchasing a truck through Carvana, and the entire experience was a disaster from start to finish. We entered all of our trade-in information and were offered $22,200 for our vehicle. We accepted the offer, found a truck we wanted, completed the financing process, got approved at their lowest interest rate, and finalized everything on our end. We even paid $990 to have the truck shipped. The truck was supposed to be delivered between 4 PM and 7 PM. At 4:17 PM, we got a call from Carvana telling us the truck was in terrible condition. The associate admitted it reeked of cigarette smoke, had dents and scratches everywhere, and had a windshield cracked all the way across. None of this damage or condition was disclosed or pictured online. The associate actually canceled the order himself because the listing was so inaccurate.
We were told the $990 shipping fee would be credited back to our Carvana account so we could purchase another vehicle. We spent the evening finding another truck on their site, only to discover the refund was nowhere on the account and our trade-in offer had expired. The new trade-in value? $21,000. So because of THEIR mistake, we suddenly lost $1,200 in trade-in value. I contacted customer service expecting them to fix a problem that was entirely created by Carvana. Instead, I was told it would take 48 hours just to submit a ticket for the refund to appear on the account. When I asked for the money refunded directly instead because we didn’t want the buying process delayed even further, I was told it would take TWO WEEKS.
Then I asked about honoring the original trade-in offer since none of this situation was our fault. The customer service rep ignored the question and ended the chat. When I reopened it, another rep blamed “system issues” for ending the chat. She then said nothing could be done about the trade in value. At this point, we’ll gladly take our business elsewhere to a company that actually cares about accuracy, accountability, and customer service. Carvana wasted our time, tied up our money, lowered our trade-in value, and expected us to just accept it.

We absolutely love the vehicle itself, and the trade-in process was smooth and straightforward. Carvana provided what we felt was a fair trade-in value based on the condition of our previous vehicle. However, we are extremely disappointed in the safety and inspection standards Carvana claims to uphold. The vehicle we purchased arrived with a significant chip in the passenger-side windshield that was neither disclosed in the listing nor visible in the 360-degree vehicle images.
When we contacted customer service within 5 minutes of leaving the lot, we were initially advised to file a claim through our personal insurance. After further discussion, we were informed that while the damage had been documented internally by Carvana, they did not believe they were required to disclose it to the consumer prior to sale.
The only resolution offered was to return the vehicle and start the process over, which would leave us once again searching through inventory and hoping not to encounter similar undisclosed issues. Buyers should be aware that Carvana’s “limited warranty” is, in our experience, extremely limited, and important vehicle condition details may not always be transparently disclosed.
