    Sold my vehicle, it’s a Nissan 2018, so 7 yrs old. I bought it from a dealer with one key. There was no option when I listed on Carvana to select keys. Then they told me when I was on my driveway in 23 degrees F. that I would get 200 dollars left for a simple non digital key. Switch and bait. Totally unethical and dishonest. Never buy or sell through them.

    I purchased a 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat which had been sitting available for a few months since I noticed it back on 12/2024. I waited until shipping costs became “free” to purchase in 02/2025. After submitting the purchase paperwork, I called Carvana customer service to inquire on the regimen of inspection and requirements to meet roadworthiness expectations of their vehicles. The Carvana advocate assured me all vehicles are inspected thoroughly and meet laws and expectations related to vehicle sales.

    The vehicle was delivered on 02/07/2025. Before unloading the vehicle off the Carvana delivery truck. I noticed a leak under the radiator area of the vehicle. The delivery driver assured me that it was water from the car wash. I touched and smelled it and knew immediately it was not water. I took the vehicle to my local Dodge dealership the next day and paid for a multiple-point inspection out of pocket ($174.95). The report came back with a leaking radiator needing replacement and 3 modules needing updates. On top of that, I noticed the rear speakers are blown and the slotted rotors spin in opposite directional patterns. Most slotted and cross-drilled rotors spin in the same directional pattern no matter what side of the vehicle you face.

    According to Carvana, all recalls were satisfactory and closed. Dodge states all three were never actioned properly. One module related to security systems of the vehicle, results in key fobs will no longer be able to be programmed to the vehicle once the update occurs. The dealership highly encourages obtaining extra key fobs for this reason which I was happy to pay for out of pocket ($503.27).

    The total amount of repairs and replacements equated to ($2,703.05 excluding the key fob) which brings up my next experience with Carvana’s warranty partners, Silver Rock Warranties. Silver Rock assesses a deductible of $100 if you use an “in-network” mechanic shop and $350 for “out-of-network”. Silver Rock’s in-network options in El Paso, TX are absolute garbage with the reputation to affirm, which shall remain nameless. I selected my local Dodge dealership which falls out-of-network, for these same reasons and Carvana nor Silver Rock would waive the $350 deductible.

    Again, the vehicle already had a leak prior to coming off the delivery truck and I would be expected to pay $350 to start getting covered warranty work for the vehicle. After escalating with both Carvana and Silver Rock, Silver Rock conceded to waiving the deductible. Even a supervisor with Carvana stated on a recorded call that it Carvana should not have sold the vehicle in its condition.

    After warranty approval, I had to request multiple extensions on the 7-day money back guarantee as the situation was beyond my control and solely caused by Carvana’s negligence in bad-faith business dealings. Carvana would only extend the 7-day money back guarantee through 02/21/2025 (a maximum of 14 business days) yet the vehicle’s ETA of repair completion is 02/26/2025. Even on this timeline, I would never receive the benefit and comfort of a true 7-day money back guarantee driving experience. As a result, I am returning the vehicle 02/19/2025. Leadership failed to extend the 7-day money back guarantee to truly let me gauge the vehicle’s worthiness.

    To all buyers, beware as Carvana is rigid with “their policies” and fall short of “We’ll drive you happy.” I explicitly expressed desire in an exception to their 7-day money back guarantee policies as I want to keep this vehicle but needed some assurances. Carvana failed to meet laws and expectations in good-faith business practices and sold me a vehicle not suitable to road-use.

    To boot, the last Carvana leader I spoke with offered an alternate option to select another vehicle. One option I selected, cost a little more than the first vehicle. I asked that they match the price in lieu of my experience and Carvana declined. They offered another option that costs less however they would not waive the delivery fee. Carvana could merely offer a reduction of $500 in the shipping fee. While selling me an unroadworthy vehicle, acknowledging their shortcomings, Carvana still looks for a way to hide behind their policies and take more money from me.

    It was my first time buying a car online and was pretty apprehensive, but I'm happy that I feel confident in my purchase. I found no issues than what was described with the car and even had the dealership inspect the vehicle. The dealership found no issues either. The charging cable that was advertised with the car wasn't delivered and the delivery agent went above and beyond to ensure once was sent back out that same day.

    The gentleman who brought the car called ahead and made the whole process seamless. Thank you! I only wish the website synced up with the actual time available. When I first clicked to buy the car, it said it could be to me as soon as tomorrow, but when I actually got to the schedule page it could not be delivered for five days. When I went back to the original page, it was still advertising it could be to me the next day - which was now clearly not true...

    I advised several associates very early on in the sales process that we wanted to transfer our plates as we had just renewed them and they were disability plates, we gave them the information that they said was needed to do the transfer but nothing was ever done to help us in this regard! This is very frustrating. This is the third vehicle we have purchased from Carvana and the transfer of the plates never seems to get accomplished by the dealer. Why is that?

    I was very happy with my Carvana experience. Easy shopping and nationwide inventory. If you’re into cars at all, you MUST pick your new ride up from the vending machine. I cannot overstate the serotonin hit you get! Put in a coin, the platform disappears into the sky and brings back a new car - in my case a Porsche. Still riding the high a week later.

    Communication with the delivery driver was good. The driver alerted me one half hour before the delivery window expired that they would arrive 15 minutes after the delivery window. Upon receiving the vehicle, it was very evident that it had been smoked in. Looking under the hood, the coolant was low. During the first drive in the rain I turned on the defrost which caused windows to fog up. This is a classic symptom of a leaking heater core. I was told that as it was within the 7-day return period, there would be no deductible in having their warranty company pay for the repair.

    The catch is, you can only use one of their "authorized repair facilities." These facilities, in my area, are all Firestone car care centers, Pep Boys, and Monro service centers. I'd have no problem bringing the truck to one of these businesses for tires, brakes, or suspension, but I'm not about to have them dissect the entire dashboard to replace a heater core and trust that the whole assembly won't rattle like a maraca afterwards. If I ran this operation, I would pay to have the vehicle diagnosed at the dealer nearest the purchaser, and credit the customer's loan with the book time cost of the repair.

    I had a great experience with Carvana in 2020, but this time has been a nightmare. I scheduled a drop-off for a Chrysler Pacifica on 2/14, but the rep left early and ignored my calls. The van had major issues—bad detailing, an antifreeze smell, and rough shifting. Customer service was unhelpful, refusing to escalate my concerns and insisting I use the warranty on a car I had for 20 minutes!

    I exchanged it for a Mazda CX-5 on 2/16, and within four hours, the check engine light came on. Two faulty cars in three days? Carvana’s quality control is clearly lacking. Returns are nearly impossible due to their policies and poor customer service, leaving me stuck with another risky exchange or out-of-pocket costs for a car I’ve had less than a day. Carvana has completely dropped the ball—buyer beware!

    The description of the vehicle I purchased failed to point out many issues the the vehicle had.

    1. Heavy rust on the frame
    2. Heavy rust on the drive train

    3. The glass and reflective surface on the interior rear view mirror has separated

    4. The back seat fabric has faded to a red color
    5. The tire jack was rusted in place in its holder
    6. The car has anti-theft lug nuts on each wheel but the matching socket was not provided.

    7. The car was not detailed in any manner. It may been driven thru a car wash.

    I purchased a 2018 Mazda Miata from Carvana and it was exactly as described. I'm very disappointed with the condition of this Jeep. I'm very disappointed in the description (or lack of description of the Jeep) that was provided. I believe this car was overpriced due the condition that it's in.

    The customer service is a nightmare. It took me forever to speak to a real human. I eventually spoke with a manager named Frank. He was very helpful at first, then when I called back and had questions about more concerns, 6 messages were left through associated and I never heard from him. I’ve just give up. Concerns: first, my car was 5 days late. There was weather issues, yet no storms at the time. They apologized and said I’d be compensated for that. Then, when my cat arrived (a Tesla), it was only charged to 13% (it should never be below 20%) and it was covered in soap from a crappy wash. Certainly not the way a car should be delivered.

    I made it to a charger with 1%. Then, once I drove it, immediately it told me a tire was bad and needed service. This is the main reason I called the manager Frank back, as I believe they should cover that service, as that was not disclosed to me and I should not have to pay for that repair. I can’t get ahold of him or anyone that can help. Do yourself a favor and forget the convenience of online, cause the rest is a nightmare. Go to a real dealership, get the same deals if not better and receive reliable, real, tangible customer service.

    The purchase and delivery went well. After we took possession of the car, we realized it does not have Apple or android audio CarPlay. This was a big selling point for us. We needed a car with this because we spend a lot of time in our car and our previous car had it. The description said it had it, but it definitely does not. I called and talked with customer service about this and she offered me $100. That’s all she could do. I told her we called a dealership and it’s going to be at least $350 to purchase the correct radio and 175 to have this radio programmed with it. Not all radios can be programmed for it, it has to be a certain radio, and that will have to be purchased. I told her we were gonna be out close to $500 to have this feature put on the car and all she could do was offer me $100. I don’t want the money I just want her to offer to have it installed for us or give us enough to cover it at the dealership.

    Also, there are two tiny chips in the windshield that you definitely would not have seen until you drove the car and we’re sitting in the driver seat and the sun hit it just right. She said too bad about the chips. I should’ve noticed it when the driver dropped it off. He dropped it off and left. There’s no way we could’ve driven it around and seen these chips. Now I have to pay for a radio and to have two chips repaired on a car. I just purchased, definitely not very satisfied.

    Buying process is easy and has become my preferred method, 2nd car we have purchased from Carvana. The odd part is both times the cars were dirty, was surprised more time is not taken to clean the vehicles and do basic fluid top off (washer, coolant, etc). Overall it beats the dealership haggling but please take a little more effort cleaning the vehicles before pick up. Weird spending $35k+ on an almost new vehicle that is filthy.

    Overall the car, Kia Stinger GTS, is really nice but there was obviously no pre-purchase inspection performed by Carvana as advertised. The cabin filter had a bird's nest in it and it was disgusting. The coolant level was so low that the car's fans had to run after turning off the engine just to cool the engine down and the oil was filled so high that it was way over the full mark on the dipstick. Also, I couldn't get the oil filter off because Carvana's tech tightened it on way too tight. The drain plug was also screwed on way too tight.

So I called Carvana and told them and they let me pick out a Dodge Ram and swap the Ford with no issues at all. I was surprised, their 7 day guarantee is absolutely legit. The only thing that sucks is I paid $1200 to get that f150 sent to Texas from wherever it was and it’s non refundable, so I did get screwed on that end.

    I finally decided it was time to buy one of my attainable dream cars; a Jaguar F-Type. I decided to go with Carvana due to the ease of buying the car online, something I have never had experience with in the past. It was, indeed, extremely easy. You guys gave me a fair offer for my trade and offered plenty of options for Jaguar F-types to purchase. I found (what I thought) was the perfect Jag. In the days leading up to the purchase appointment day, I lose many hours of sleep in excitement and looking at YOUTUBE videos of the F-Type.

    Unfortunately, upon picking up the car on 1/17/2025 is when the excitement, ease and anticipation, stopped. The advocate at the Atlanta location was very disorganized, not very friendly and seemed to rush me as I was looking over the car. The car was far from what was described and was not what I expected. There were several undisclosed cosmetic issues with the vehicle including poor paint repairs, dents, scratches and bird poop stains in the hood. Not to mention, the interior has several sticky dash and door panel pieces of which is pretty common on the F-Type but it just was not disclosed.

    A few days later, I brought the car to my local Jaguar dealer to have them look over the car and lone and behold, they found numerous issues with the vehicle mechanically that needed attention including oil leaks, coolant leaks, rear brakes and an alternator(due to oil leaking onto it). Now, I know Silverrock (Carvana's warranty company) would have covered these items but I also still had all of these cosmetic issues to deal with. It was at that point that Carvana reached out to me and offered to take the car back and take $500 off of a replacement car. This is when my Carvana experience started to turn around again.

    The gentleman assigned to my special case of exchanging the vehicle was beyond helpful and courteous. He worked around my schedule and got the 1st F-type picked up and helped me acquire a new f-type that was two years newer but hopefully in much, much better shape. Fast forward a few days later on 2/3/2025, I traveled to Atlanta to pick up the second F-type. My goodness, the experience could not be any further from the first. The advocate that I dealt with was friendly, empathetic about my situation, valued my business and respected my time. He apologized profusely about my first experience and assured me that it would not happen again. I put in the coin in the Carvana vending machine to lower and ultimately see my second dream car, hoping it would not become another nightmare. THANK GOD!!! The dream stayed a dream!

    This car was near perfect and quite frankly, better than described. The paint was well taken care of, the disclosed imperfections were blown out of proportion and the car was just awesome! Not to mention, the car came with an owner's manual which the first car did not come with. I was absolutely ecstatic and over the moon. It was such a surreal feeling considering the fact that a couple of weeks earlier, in the same building, I felt feelings of disappointment and disgust. The advocate could tell how excited I was about the Jag and he seemed genuinely happy for me. Ten days later, I still grin ear to ear every time I drive the car or see it parked in my driveway! Thank you Carvana for making me a believer and an owner of my dream car!

    I purchased a 2022 Ford Mustang Mach-E and paid the non-refundable fee of $690 to have it shipped to my closest vending machine. The purchase went smoothly, except the car was only 58% charged and wouldn’t be able to get me the 100 miles home. Little did I know that it really wouldn’t have got me that far on the freeway. I plugged in to the charger on site and after 30 min it was clear that this was going to take forever. The salesman pointed me to the nearest fast charger and I headed over there. It was in use, so I then had to find another and finally after an hour there I had enough charge to get home.

    It’s a fun vehicle to drive and I loved all the features and the zippy acceleration, however, after a full charge the car claims it can take you 215 miles, but after an 80 mile drive home, the battery was more than half drained. I plugged in to a regular plug at my home and the car said that it would be fully charged in a day and a half… This wasn’t going to work for me, so I returned the vehicle. The return process went well, except I continued getting emails saying the registration was processing and the purchase had gone through, even though I had cancelled the purchase and the pick up was scheduled.

I finally did the preapproval process in early December (2024) I was pleasantly surprised with the interest rate offered to me despite my less than stellar credit. It was significantly lower than what several dealerships had offered me. I spent the next two weeks browsing Carvana. I should note I knew due to my credit, budget and money to put down my best bet would be an older car.

    I found a 2011 Mazda3 4-door Hatchback with just over $84,000 miles on it and a very extensive Carfax report which showed very regular oil changes and other maintenance. The cars I was finding at local dealerships were 4-8 years older, had double the miles and were priced $3000-$5000 higher than the similar makes and models on Carvana. I took the plunge on December 17th. The purchase process from start to finish took under thirty minutes. I was never asked for paystubs or any other proof of income which I found somewhat odd. I put enough money down to keep my monthly payments under $300. I also chose to go through Root Insurance because they came back with a monthly rate that was $150 less than the one my existing insurance company (Progressive) had offered me. So that was a no brainer.

    I was asked for a picture of the front and back of my driver's license and proof of insurance, which I uploaded that same day. Within minutes of completing everything online I received an email stating that my order had been approved. Delivery was scheduled for December 21st but a multistate snowstorm delayed delivery until December 26th. I was disappointed but I could hardly blame Carvana for the weather and I knew the car was coming from Montana to Pennsylvania. I will say it took two online chats, three representatives on the phone and finally a call with a supervisor to get the reason for the delay. I had read some reviews where people stated they found out after the fact that a delay had been due to damage occurring to the vehicle in transit or mechanical issues not discovered previously. I wanted assurances that that was not the case.

    Thursday, December 26th finally arrived and I was like a little kid at Christmas! My delivery window was 11am-2pm. I received a text notification that my car was out for delivery at 11 on the dot and then my driver called a minute later to let me know that according to his GPS his ETA was 12:15. He pulled up in front of my place at 12:14. I saw the truck from my window and went racing out the front door with no shoes and no coat, despite the fact that it was 28 degrees outside. My brother, a former mechanic (at a Mazda dealership ironically) was here to look the car over as well and came chasing after me with my shoes and a sweater hollering that I was I going to catch pneumonia. I ignored him and hopped around excitedly while the driver unloaded my car.

    My brother and I both looked it over thoroughly and I took it for a short test drive. I fell in love instantly. When I say this car was PRISTINE inside and out I am not exaggerating! It was immaculate! I couldn't even find the two imperfections that had been listed as light scratches in the ad. It even smelled clean. It looked as if it had been washed and waxed that very morning. To say I was over the moon is an understatement.

    The driver went over the registration process, what to do if I were to want to return the car, had me sign the tablet and we were done. I took the car to the mechanic the following morning as there's a local shop that is open on Sundays so I was able to do it right away. The car passed with flying colors! Brakes were as close to new as you can get, as were the tires, no mechanical or other issues found. The mechanic (who has worked on previous cars I've owned) said it was clear that the car was very well taken care of and had had regular upkeep and maintenance done (which was also apparent in the Carfax and played a large part in my choice). I left the mechanic's shop on CLOUD NINE!!!

    The delivery driver had stated that it would take thirty to forty-five days to receive my state registration and plate. ELEVEN days later I received an email notification that my registration was complete and would arrive along with my plate within 5-7 business days. Nope. Just TWO days later I had my registration and plate in my hands.

    The entire experience from beginning to end was easy, painless and PHENOMENAL! I will NEVER, ever buy a car through a dealership again. Carvana is far superior to any dealership I have ever dealt with and THE best part???? Aside from an AMAZING new (to me) car that I love.... No pushy, overbearing, obnoxious salesperson talking to me like I'm twelve because I happen to be a woman.

    This was my first time choosing Carvana and I was skeptical and nervous at first. However, the entire process was so smooth and painless and we absolutely love the vehicle!!! We purchased the 2018 Volkswagen Atlas, the carfax was provided with details on the car including minor dent and scratch from the moment we chose it and began the process. It was quick smooth and painless. It made buying a car fun vs stressful! After my down payment part was completed I had a few questions about it all so I reached out to Carvana customer service and the response time was the fastest I have ever received and they were so patient and kind and answered all of my questions thoroughly!

    The vehicle was delayed by a 1 day delivery date which was disappointing at first but it worked out better because of our work schedules. The delivery driver Kelly called me first thing in the morning to offer earlier drop-off time. She was patient and kind when delivering the car and answering additional questions and it was a wonderful experience. Now my family is driving around in a super safe super luxurious feeling vehicle and we are thrilled!

    There are 2 aspects of the vehicle I’m not too thrilled about. 1 is the auto engine turn-off when at a stop sign or such you are able to turn this off however it doesn’t stay off per profile so if you just jump in and go and forget to hit the button it will turn off each time and it’s annoying but not horrible and the 2nd is the GPS is not the most accurate, like it needs updated somehow due to roads being closed etc. My recommendation is double check the route or map on a different device for accuracy first. But I will definitely be coming to them when it’s time to look for teen cars!!!

    My car arrived with many scratches on the hood — not disclosed prepurchase. CV and its warranty company Silver Rock refuse to pay for repainting nor to refund my shipping charges if I refused the car. The same vehicle has a broken gas strut so the MINI’s left rear door only opens manually. The car arrived clean at first sight, but then I discovered LOTS of hair and fur under the driver’s seat, scuff marks on seats and doors that wouldn’t come out, AND many leaves under the hood. Carvana said the vehicle still had 2 months remaining on two manufacturer warranties — turns out they expired six months before my purchase! I am so disappointed with the scruples of Carvana.

    Overall, the experience was pretty good.

    * My purchase was through Carvana mostly because they offered more than local dealerships.

    * I got my own financing because I could get a better rate through my credit union, but their offer was probably good if you just want the convenience of getting it all done together with the purchase.

    * They claim to go through an extensive inspection on their cars, but what they don't tell you is that they don't fix a lot of the issues.

    * I used the warranty that came with the purchase because the valve cover gaskets were leaking oil, rear strut boots were torn, and a window regulator was not allowing for the window to close all the way. It was a pleasant surprise when SilverRock (warranty) agreed to cover it all.

    * Their in-network shops for warranty are mostly tires shops, but I did find a good repair facility for my initial inspection (within the first 7 days to decide if I wanted to return the car). They filed a claim and to my surprise, SilverRock agreed to pay an actual dealership to perform the repairs when the in-network shop suggested that I take it there. There was also a cracked third tail light that was not covered, so I found a used part to replace it.

    * There's a lot of paperwork and electronic signatures required, especially if trading in, so I had to check multiple times a day and contact customer service towards the end to make sure everything was done. Unfortunately, some of the approvals were not finished by the Friday before Monday delivery, so I ended up receiving my car on Tuesday which is not a big deal to me.

    * Overall, everyone I worked with was friendly and we got the deal done. Now just waiting for my repairs to be finished, it's been at the shop for 2 weeks... but the dealership gave a loaner so I'm not in a hurry.

    I picked up the car after going over Carfax, paperwork for Pre-delivery and nothing was done to this car, the air filter was full of a half inch of leaves, dirt and had to be years old or the original. Battery was low so the car work charge work right so I had to replace and reprogram first week, the interior and seatbelts work so dirty like construction workers used it. The underside of the seat belt was black and brown from dirt, the color was light tan, lol. No floor mats. I had to do clay bar on the paint for two days, the rims were quickly spayed like a at home job by a 16-year-old. The car wash took paint off. I will have to buy rims, all this need was a professional detail and going over and basic maintenance but they did none of that.

    When purchasing a vehicle via pics and decorations, I feel it is of the utmost importance to have all variables taken care of. While my experience was good I did have a tire or Two that is worn out. Now I’m having to make appointments, etc. in order to try to get the issue resolved. Also tires don’t match, etc. Not worth returning the vehicle for but an annoyance nonetheless.

    I will purchase and suggest my family and friends purchase through Carvana in the future. The process was quick and efficient. Much less stressful and time consuming than purchasing through a car dealership. The initial purchase process took about 20 minutes and pick up the vehicle took and another 15 minute. I have NEVER purchased a vehicle from a dealership in under 4 hours and had someone try to upsell me on everything and not listen to my wants and needs as they pushed for the highest commission possible. For that reason I will use Carvana again.

    The only knock on Carvana was that there was an issue with one of the license plate screws being stuck. Instead of telling me to contact their warranty insurance company, Carvana should have scheduled the service and had their warranty company contact me. Getting that minor issue resolved has taken over one week so far and it's still ongoing. That is the only reason I did not give this a 5-star review.

After multiple chat conversations and calls with customer service, all I got was empty apologies—no answers, no accountability. No one could tell me where my vehicle was, why it was delayed, or how they planned to make it right. Meanwhile, I had already returned my rental car the day before, trusting that my scheduled delivery would actually happen.

    The initial process is simple, and the vehicle is exactly as portrayed on the website. What they don't tell you is that you have no control over the payment process after that point, especially if you have a third party lender. If you intend to put down a down payment beyond what is necessary to cover the difference between the vehicle cost and your maximum loan amount, you have to know up front before you enter any loan information and subtract your intended down payment from your listed loan amount. They don't ask about a down payment and don't offer any option to adjust your loan amount to account for your down payment. They also don't inform you up front about all of the additional information they require, and give you a limited time frame to provide it or risk having your purchase canceled or your pickup date changed.

    If you include a trade in and have any damages or issues you don't disclose for any reason including not being aware of them, your trade in and purchase are canceled when you're picking up your vehicle! There is no way to even adjust your trade in amount. Finally, they only accept payment from third party lenders via paper check in person or mailed directly to their corporate office or via wire transfer. Very few lenders transfer money via wire transfer any more. If a check is mailed, photos of the check and the tracking information have to be uploaded well in advance of your scheduled pickup. I will never do business with Carvana again, and will tell everyone I can to not do business with them.

    The purchase process was super easy. I applied for financing and completed the purchase in 15-20 minutes. It was so much better than any dealership experience I've ever had. On delivery day, the driver arrived at the early stage of the delivery window, and was friendly and professional. I have no complaints about the purchase or delivery processes.

    I do have some complaints about the vehicle's condition, though. First, the description clearly stated it has a sunroof. It does not. Carvana offered a modest refund for that oversight. Second, the maintenance completed was simply an oil change, as near as I can tell. The engine and cabin air filters were dirtier than a lumberjack's doormat. The odor in the cabin was pretty foul.

    Third, the blower motor for the cabin air fan mattress a high pitched, clearly audible noise when running. The delivery driver commented on it, but seemed to think it was normal. My trusted mechanic disagrees, it needs to be replaced to the tune of $500. I contacted Silver Rock about it. There's no authorized service facility within 60 miles. So, I'm stuck either taking a day off work to desk with this, or paying a $350 deductible to have my local mechanic fix it. I'm decidedly less than pleased about that. In short, I love the purchase experience, mostly love the car, and don't feel great about the Silver Rock warranty. Carvana would do well to ensure vehicles are properly serviced before delivery. I nearly returned my vehicle, but in the end, I decided I could live with the issues because I really do love the car.

    I purchased a car from Carvana. The process was very easy for the most part. Ordering only took about an hour online. The car showed up on time and was in the condition as advertised. I picked it up at a local vending machine. No problem. Except that the person who had me sign paperwork forgot to have me sign a Bill of Sale... that's kind of a big deal- I can't get license plates without it. Here's where the problems start. They send a bill of sale via 2 day shipping with FedEx. No problem. I sign it immediately and give it back to FedEx the same day I received it. FedEx loses the package in transit. Yes, my information is floating around somewhere, likely stolen because Carvana refuses to allow me to drop off paperwork in person. I requested to just drive back to the vending machine to avoid this happening in the future- denied. They won't allow you to speak with a human or hand deliver anything.

    I tried calling every number I could find- you CAN'T actually speak to these people. I've read that they made the company profitable again by slashing employees. Yeah, I'm sure that worked, but at the expense of having anyone that can actually solve a problem. I wish someone had stopped them from buying up so much market share during the pandemic. Companies like this shouldn't exist. There is no recourse of action for solving a difficult problem due to not having a local manager on scene. Literally, this problem could have been solved with a 20 minute drive down to the local vending machine- which I offered to do, but no, they refuse. They don't empower any employees to make decisions. I hope their efficiency model works for them long term- I will never do business with this company again.

    Call 2: Call Progressive to fill out.

Carvana had 3 prior business days to review and alert me, and didn’t let me know until the last minute.

    Talk about a TIME SUCK. At least 6 hours spent on the phone between the two companies trying to communicate, translate and coordinate direction.

It was a little overpriced, but the convenience made up for it. I was going to buy a similar car for about a $1000 less, but I chose to go with a company rather than the alternative. The shipping sucks since it's not refundable, and all the taxes from CA drive up the price. But that's not Carvana's fault. The car is great, and I don't regret using this service.

    Car was delivered 12-30-24. Blind spot indicators were not working. So I scheduled it for maintenance 1-16-2025. Car had been at the shop ever since. Also car was discovered to have rodent damage under the hood. The car also was involved in some sort of collision that caused damages behind the front bumper. Now the Car needs minor body work in order to mount the sensor for the blindspot indicator to function properly. Neither Carvana or Silverrock have taken any initiative to rectify this problem. Both keep blaming each other and nobody is wants to pay for the lemon they sold me. My next step is to go to speak with the Attorney general and file a complaint and get my lawyer involved and let them sort this out in court. Also I will be leaving a negative review with the Better Business Bureau and any other outlet that allows me to voice my displeasure.

    Everything was great except this. And this is big to me because the listing had a clear windshield and no chip in the hood. I get the car and it looks like a rock may have hit it during delivery and bounced up into the windshield. It was not explained to me during delivery that I must point out any glass damage during that time. I thought I had 7 days. I didn’t even look until I got off work. I saw it that same day I got it and told them on chat the next day. I pay $30,000 for a vehicle and immediately have to get the windshield fixed. It doesn’t make sense to me.

    This was my second time purchasing a vehicle from Carvana, and the process was even smoother than the first! From start to finish, everything was simple, transparent, and hassle-free. Unlike traditional dealerships, there was no need for endless negotiations or the typical “Let me talk to my finance manager” routine. I browsed their website, selected the car I wanted, and completed the approval process—all from the comfort of my home. The platform made it easy to compare options, review financing terms, and finalize my purchase without any pressure. The entire experience was straightforward, and I appreciated having access to detailed vehicle history reports, 360-degree photos, and real-time delivery updates.

    Once my purchase was confirmed, Carvana delivered my car right to my door, just as promised. The handoff was quick and professional, and the vehicle arrived in excellent condition. Knowing I had a seven-day return window gave me peace of mind, but I didn’t need it—the car was exactly as advertised. Carvana has truly streamlined the car-buying process, making it stress-free and convenient. If you’re looking for a modern, no-nonsense way to buy a car without the usual dealership runaround, I highly recommend giving Carvana a try. Based on my experience, I wouldn’t hesitate to purchase from them again in the future. Five stars all the way!

    Buyer beware!!!! Do not buy a car from these thieves!!! They are complete scam artists!!! Karma is a ** just like I told the supervisors I spoke to that lied through their teeth!!!! We called to attempt to exchanged the vehicle and beware Carvana doesn't count days like everyone else. We got the car on the 19th and christmas was our 7th day and even though they weren't open... We could no longer exchange the piece of garbage they dropped off.

    So then we get on the phone to get the car in for repairs. 10 days in and the guy we talk to felt so bad hearing everything wrong with the vehicle he got it to where it could be exchanged. Except he didn't finish the process!!!! Only delayed it to get it past the 14 days so that Carvana wasn't responsible for the repairs. I can't wait to see the day that carvana pushes someone beyond their point of reasoning. 5 days without my car and carvana won't cover the brakes because it's wear and tear but it was sent to me this way.

Called to find out why and dude said mechanical problem they needed to fix. Asked what problem. Dude said he isn't supposed to say but the spark plugs needed to be replaced and then the computer reset, then driven to reset data in the computer. A WEEK! to do that! Seems apparent they are not being honest about this vehicle. Called to see if we could switch vehicles and get it delivered sooner. Dude said he couldn't tell us when it could be delivered until she made the purchase. All about getting paid and no customer service.

    I went into this whole process cautiously optimistic. I spent weeks reading reviews and speaking with friends and acquaintances who had purchased their cars through Carvana. I went through the pre-approval process and then spent a couple of weeks looking through Carvana's inventory before finally settling on a red 2011 Mazda3 Hatchback with less than 85,000 miles on it. And a Carfax that showed regular maintenance and no reported accidents. I purchased the car on December 17th with a delivery date of December 21st. The purchase process took less than twenty minutes and I received an email almost immediately letting me know my order had been approved. Unfortunately a snowstorm on the 20th delayed delivery until December 26th. I was disappointed but a delay due to weather is hardly the fault of Carvana.

    Delivery day arrived and I received a call from my driver at around 11 am letting me know he was on his way and that his GPS estimated he'd arrive to me around 12:15. At 12:14 he pulled up. I thoroughly looked over the car and also had my brother with me, a former mechanic, for an extra set of eyes. The car arrived in PRISTINE condition. Absolutely spotless inside and out. I couldn't even find the two "imperfections" that had been listed as faint scratches in the listing. I couldn't find a single mark on the car. I was absolutely THRILLED! I took the car to my regular mechanic for a PPI the following morning. The brakes were as close to new as you can get, as were all four tires and he didn't find a single problem. To say I was over the moon at that point is an understatement. I absolutely LOVE this car!

    To make the whole experience even more perfect my registration and plates, that I was told would take thirty to forty-five days to arrive, arrived in THIRTEEN days instead. The only "issue" I had was that the car arrived with the gas tank on E instead of with the half of a tank of gas promised. But Carvana made good on that. They sent me a check for $60 to cover it. That arrived about three weeks after the car was delivered. All in all the entire experience was wonderful! Easy, painless, transparent and I am 150% satisfied with my purchase. I would absolutely buy a car this way again. Much easier than buying through a dealer and no pushy salesmen trying to pull one over on me because I happen to be female.

    PLEASE DO NOT BUY A CAR FROM THEM. It is a bigger inconvenience than going to a dealership. My first 2 purchases were "delayed" by over a week due to quality issues with the vehicle so I decided to cancel. I was not notified of the first delay until AN HOUR AFTER my scheduled appointment time. One of the appointments On my third order, I purchased a vehicle specifically because it was advertised that it came equipped with a remote start however, the car that they delivered DID NOT COME WITH THE REMOTE START KEY FOB THAT WAS ADVERTISED ON THEIR WEBSITE AND LISTED AS A "KEY FEATURE." I mentioned this to the associate who dropped the car off and she promised they would make it right and honor the agreement, I just need to call. So I did.

    The lady on the phone blamed ME for the mistake because a picture of the key fob was listed on the site... How is a consumer supposed to know if it's the right key fob or not if they never owned that type of vehicle before? Their "transparent" pricing is a joke. Instead of just reimbursing me for the price of a key fob, they're choosing to inconvenience their customer even further by offering their only solution - return it for another car but I'm out of a non reimbursable shipping fee which I will have to pay for again if I choose a new car. Just go to a regular dealership, they care way more than Carvana does about their customer's experience.

    My order was delayed four times at the last minute, costing me and my cosigner a total of 24 working hours. Carvana was incapable of informing me of the cause until it was eventually escalated to a caseworker who told me the maintenance hub had repeatedly failed to simply change a battery and tires. The month of delay shifted the delivery into the new year, pushing my ability to claim the tax credit an entire year out, potentially costing my ability to claim it altogether. I was promised a compensation of $500 dollars, in writing, for the trouble, only to later be informed they are only authorized to send half that and only $250 was sent.

    I have spent hours on the phone with customer service and managers that are somehow never able to contact one another. My case worker vanished and my emails were ignored for weeks, despite being told I could communicate to that address. I was repeatedly promised follow up communication which never occurred. I additionally was promised, in writing, that there would be no license plate cover added to my vehicle, but Carvana failed to fulfill this promise as well. The car itself is great, but Carvana's inability to communicate has cost us personally nearly $800 in lost time and have likely cost me a $4000 tax credit.

    Undoubtedly the most awful experience I've ever had buying a car, but perhaps the most awful experience I have ever had buying anything. First, I live 4 hours away from the closest Carvana pickup center, which, by itself is fine. I had to take the day off from work to go pick up my car. However, Carvana sent me a text message only two or so hours before my scheduled pickup time to tell me they were rescheduling me to two days later because my car didn't arrive, forcing me to take yet another day off from work.

    Then when I arrive, there was only one person there, and for the vast majority of my time in the office, he was behind closed doors and inaccessible. When I was signing my contract, I had a few questions, so I asked him, and his reply was "I don't know man, they just have me tell you to sign it." Then when I get the car, the windshield has two chips in it. Needing to get back home in time to turn in my rental car, since again, I live four hours away and the guy was inaccessible anyways, I decided to drive home to turn in my rental car and look over the damage declaration to see if there was any mention of chips in the windshield, and there was not.

    So, when I contacted Carvana and told them about the chips in the windshield, their response was "We're sorry. We can't help you with that, because you should have told us when you picked up the vehicle. You'll need to contact your insurance company." I totally would contact my insurance company if the issues weren't pre-existing. As such, for me to have my insurance company pay for the repairs would be to commit insurance fraud, so why on earth would they recommend it? When I explained to them why I believed their unwillingness to repair the pre-existing issue was totally unreasonable, their response was "I'd be upset too. But we can't do anything about it."

    I am spending over $20K on this vehicle, it was defective from the start, and the customer service team refuses to do anything reasonable to help. They've permanently lost my business. I hope everyone reading the reviews can learn from my experience just how terrible it could be for you if you choose to do business with them, and instead chooses to do business elsewhere.

    It would take pages to share all the problems but I will try to be brief. 1. Communication was difficult and often I was given incorrect information. I had to repeatedly submit the same documentation. 2. Their system is designed to keep you from communicating effectively. 3. It would be so helpful if they offered a list of the steps to complete the transaction. 4. They would not reveal the financing rate unless you applied and gave your social security number! 5. At pick up they scratched the hood of the car. There were multiple scratches as long as 18 inches. They promised to fix that before we left and they did not. Then after I drove off the lot and later tried to contact them with the problem, they refused to address the issue. They would not even give me a phone number to talk with the facility manager where the scratches occurred..

    After a battle they finally relented and approved for me to go through their insurance to have the scratches addressed. I ended up having them fixed on my own.

    6. They failed to put anti-freeze in the car. I would have never known except that after purchase I had the car fully inspected. 7. It is now a week or two since the purchase and they promised that I would receive information about the factory warranty which is still in effect. I have not received that although perhaps I will, but I doubt it. There were so many other issues they are too many to list but these are the highlights. In the pictures you can see the car in pristine condition before they added the scratches, and you can see several pictures of the scratches.

    I recently purchased a low-mileage 2024 Tundra TRD Pro from Carvana. Upon delivery, I was shocked to find numerous scratches on the body panels. The delivery driver assured me that Carvana would handle the repairs, but when I took the truck to the body shop Carvana recommended, they refused to work with Carvana’s warranty partner.

    To make matters worse, the windshield repair Carvana supposedly performed before delivery was clearly subpar. Because the driver didn’t note the damage (we only noticed it after he left), I had to escalate the issue through Carvana’s customer service. After waiting two weeks with no response, I finally spoke with a so-called “leader” named Gabbie, who was rude and condescending. Her only offer to address these multiple issues was a $25 check—barely enough to cover the hassle of depositing it.

    Carvana may look like a tech-savvy alternative to traditional car dealerships, but my experience suggests otherwise. Their service feels like the same old used-car sales tactics, just wrapped in modern packaging. At least with a local dealer, I could have gone in person to speak with someone who actually had the authority to solve my problem. In short, I wouldn’t recommend Carvana to anyone. Save yourself the frustration and buy from a reputable local dealership instead.

    The entire experience was easy, seamless, and, admittedly, a lot of fun! I was curious, I wasn't actually in the market for a new vehicle, but, had a heck of a time this winter in the snow & ice with my front wheel drive car. I browsed Carvana's site for AWD/4WD and specifically Dodge (I'm a Dodge guy). I found SO MANY options of Durangos. I thought, "why not," and applied for financing. I have poor credit, but to my surprise, Carvana would finance a really good amount for me!

    I have received a few quotes for my trade-in from local dealers and when reviewing KBB, and it's usually worth between $4K and $6K. Carvana, even when I shared ALL the details, some minor scrapes, some smells inside (former smokers), a few dents and dings, etc., Carvana WELL exceeded my previous offers!

    There it was, a good amount of buying power with financing, a great trade-in value, plenty of options, online, I found the perfect ride for my family and I. Personally, I'd of rather had an R/T, but my voice of reason (my wife) encouraged me to keep the monthly price right around what we were paying for our trade-in, per month.

    I went through the process with ease, gathered docs, scanned in and signed whichever requirements were available to do online prior to pickup. They kept me in the loop. I had several follow-up questions that, between customer service and their Chat AI, "Sebastian," ALL questions were answered with ease. Finally, my pick up date arrived, 21 January. I was SO excited to pick it up, even took off of work that day to ensure I had plenty of time to get everything signed, documented, photos, and whatever else I expected once arriving to the pick up location... It took maybe 15 minutes. It was below 10 degrees (F) that day, and even though she was obviously struggling with the cold, the representative that helped me was on point, friendly, fast, and made sure to answer any and all questions!

    The car had ONLY the minor scratches and dings highlighted on the website when I was picking it out. I didn't see any other damage. The outside of the car was washed and sparkling, and the inside was detailed, spotless, and smells like a brand new sneaker. Perfect!

They arranged for a key service to come replace it. Great! However, I find it really awful that I had to go full Karen and speak to a manager every time something needed to be made right. Also I received my $200 check today… It wasn’t for $200, it was only for $100. Again SERIOUSLY???

    The positives first, it was extremely easy to find a car and get approved. It was very straightforward to schedule a delivery. But it was delayed a week and we had to go pick up the car from the Carvana dealership. Then as soon as we left the lot there was a horrible vibration while driving so we dropped it off at Firestone the next day to get looked at. It had flat spots on the wheels and the rear control arm needed to be replaced. All of that was covered under warranty. Now a week later the check engine light has come on and there appears to be a problem with catalytic converter and exhaust coming inside the car. We are waiting to see if warranty is going to cover this being fixed also.

    Overall this has been a less than satisfactory experience. It has been in the shop twice in the one week we've had it. We are now one day past the return window. Not sure what sort of standards you have for selling a vehicle but it doesn't seem like this car was checked over at all. Not sure we would recommend carvana after all of this.

    Overall, the experience was very good. My driver had a wonderful personality and was super nice. He listened to me and let me ask questions. In addition, he joked with me about my old vehicle, Pearl. When I told him the new car was Smokey, he started referring to the vehicles by their names, which I thought was very, very nice. He also was willing to meet me about 1/4 miles away from my home because my driveways is super tight.

    I appreciated the ease of use and how streamlined it was, the delivery purchase and delivery were both smooth. The biggest letdown was the cleanliness of the car when delivered, I spent at least 4 hours cleaning and detailing the interior of the car. It was very bad with dirt and debris left under the seats and in the rear underfloor area, as well the car windows were coated in a film of cigarette smoke and the overall condition of the car was poor. The door jambs, undercarriage and engine compartment had major dirt buildup as well. A better process for cleanliness prior to delivery is recommended. I would recommend Carvana to friends however, I would warn them to take delivery in person at the dealership and do a thorough inspection prior to taking ownership.

    Carvana is a very deceitful company. They advertise a 7 day return policy, it is NOT, it is 6 days. We were told if we found anything wrong with the car after delivery Carvana would take care of it, this is also NOT true. We received the car with a cracked windshield, Carvana would NOT fix it. The Airbag light came on and we were told we had to have it fixed at one of their few repair places (none in my area) before the 6 days was up, which was impossible. I was forced to return it and it took up space in my yard for almost 2 weeks before they picked it up. I will never do business with Carvana again and will do my best to let everyone know how bad Carvana is. The only good thing about the experience was both of the delivery drivers were very nice.

    Overall good experience. This is the 3rd car I have purchased from Carvana. I was a little disappointed however that on my way home the tire pressure sensor light came on within 30 miles of leaving. Turns out that one wheel is missing the sensor. It would appear that when they put new tires on the car they forgot a sensor. I attempted to use the warranty but the shops want me to drop off the car and leave it because the company SilverRock they said are hard to work with. So tomorrow I am taking the wheel to a local shop and paying to have a sensor put in. It's not worth the time and effort to go through a lengthy process. This is something that should of been addressed before delivery. Otherwise it was a good purchase it seems.

    I purchased a 2016 Jeep Renegade in October 2023, and it has been nothing short of a financial and emotional nightmare. Since my purchase, I have invested over $5,000 in repairs, yet the vehicle remains unreliable and unsafe. As of June 2024, I have been unable to drive it due to persistent mechanical failures. Major Issues Identified:

    Multiple Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) – Including P0440 (Evaporative Emission Control Malfunction), U0001 (CAN Bus Failure), U0402 (Transmission Control Module Issue), P2172 (Throttle Actuator Malfunction), and U0100 (Lost Communication with ECM/PCM). These issues affect engine performance, transmission, emissions, and safety features.

    Infotainment System Failure – GPS, radio, and backup camera are completely non-functional.

    Turn Signal Sensor Malfunction – Intermittent failures make signaling dangerous.

    Frequent Engine Stalling – Causes sudden loss of power while driving, posing a serious safety risk.

    Carvana’s Lack of Accountability. I have contacted Carvana multiple times, seeking an amicable resolution, yet I have received no real assistance or solution. Their lack of responsiveness has only added to the financial and emotional stress of dealing with this defective vehicle. Despite my repeated efforts, Carvana has ignored my concerns and failed to take responsibility. Selling a defective vehicle without offering proper support is unacceptable. Much as I dislike complaining, Consumers deserve better protection and accountability from companies like Carvana. Would NOT recommend this vehicle or Carvana to anyone.

    The online shopping, descriptions are great. Process of setting up purchase was smooth, minus some slight confusing on how to move forward when financing outside of Carvana. The trouble came when trying to pick up the car. The elevator broke on the car vending machine, and after my pickup time was rescheduled 2 time. I then opted for a delivery which was also rescheduled and then showed up an hour after the time frame. I had to have the person delivering wait till I was done with a work call. I do love my new car so far, but the descriptions failed to mention the 2nd row installed blinds were removed and Carvana said because they were "Removable items" they were not responsible for it.

    Having kids - these were one of the reasons I went with the car I did, so it was a bit disappointing that they were not there. As they are built into the doors, I can't see how they are a removable item... The 4 reschedules made are making it tricky to track any overpaying for the car as I made a payment on my trade in car during that time period.

It has some funky aftermarket cold air intake and not the stock airbox and filter. It sounds like it has an exhaust leak in the muffler but I can't tell because of the after market parts are loud already which none were on the listing. The truck had two bad turn signal bulbs I had to change which staff must have known because blinker was moving at hyper speed when you indicated a turn.

    Some panels on the interior are super scratched up which wasn't listed on the report. Mileage was different more than a little bit. I am also going to have to get the transmission looked at as it seems to be rough shifting. Very disappointed in this company. Especially when the pricing isn't great anyway.

    The online purchase was particularly easy. I set for the vehicle to be delivered. On the day of delivery, I get an email saying that the vehicle would be delayed. No explanation. I contacted customer service and they gave me a worn, vague non-answer about the delay. So the revised date arrives, and due to weather, it's pushed back again...Now it's a week out from when it was supposed to arrive. I called customer service again to see what other options I had, and was able to pull the date forward by two days by setting an appointment to pick it up myself instead of having it delivered. Okay, fine. When I get to Carvana (Ubered there at my expense), I wait 50 minutes -after- my appointment time because they're too busy. The car had been run through an automated carwash and a vacuum, but that appears to be the extent of anything done with the vehicle.

    The exterior had grease and tar on it that the carwash didn't remove, and they didn't care to do any more cleaning. One of the wiper blades was torn, so it's clear that the vehicle wasn't checked over for full functionality or defects. This is the 4th car I've purchased from Carvana, and my experiences have ranged wildly from great to abysmal. This experience is slightly lower than a middle of the road experience, largely because of the delay and the lack of attention to the vehicle condition. I love the vehicle and will keep it, but Carvana simply doesn't care about the condition of the vehicles they get. I truly believe they buy at auction, wash the vehicles, and send them on their way, leaving the customer to deal with things they should have done.

    I am so sorry that I am unable to find my "Order number." I still believe that you deserve a review. First, thank you! Not long after I moved in with my 93 year old mother (a little more than a year ago) to help her with her daily life; she fell and broke her hip. It was in that time frame that things changed for me financially. I was faced with choosing to pay my credit card bills (as I had always done on time - before her fall) or help my mother with her new financial needs. Of course, I choose my mother. Needless to say, my credit score diminished. Before being told to search on Carvana's website, I continually received denials when applying for a vehicle from a dealership. My vehicle (which I purchased brand new in 2018) was increasingly having bad issues for a couple of months...before I started my search on Carvana. By the time I was approved for the 2015 Buick Encore - my car gave out.

    I am grateful to Carvana for approving my application, and I am extremely grateful that I didn't have to pay a down payment. (Because my only income is SSDI, every dollar matters.) The vehicle is Beautiful, and has been well kept. It literally looks younger than it is. I am also grateful for the limited warranty. That is definitely better than having no warranty at all.

    The first time I drove the vehicle, the tire light was on, and the mechanic let me know that there was also another issue. SilverRock took care of it, and my cost was $0. I am very grateful. Literally one day after the 7 days that you allow the customer to decide whether we'll keep the vehicle, return it, or trade it in for another; the engine light came on and the wording that appeared on the dashboard was: "engine overheating - idle engine." SilverRock covered that cost as well, with my portion, once again, being $0. I am EXTREMELY grateful. What makes me nervous, is the fact that the engine overheating was the final issue with the vehicle that I had before receiving my vehicle from Carvana.

    I don't know if there will be another engine issue; especially because of the age of the vehicle. I am truly grateful for SilverRock, but the warranty is limited; and I'm just getting started with the vehicle. So again, I am VERY grateful that I was able to get a vehicle from Carvan, but a little nervous about the quality of the vehicle - under the hood. That is why I'm giving this review 3 stars instead of 5. The 3 stars mean: so far so good. But from my heart: I Am Grateful! Thank You Carvana. (*_*)

    Although the car had no recorded accidents, it had so much clear coat overspray on the windshield it was very difficult to even see through. I had to use a razor blade and scrape the windshield for 30 min after the car was washed. There was all kinds of trash, food, children’s little toys under the third row seat. The rear two tires are more than 1/2 worn, the front tires are only about 1/4 worn. The car's battery is testing 1/4 life left. The good news is, the car had a recent oil change and seems to drive well with no issues. Our car that you took in trade was in much better condition, cleaner with better tires. You could have done much better considering the maximum price you charged my wife.

    Purchasing a vehicle from Carvana has been a let down on multiple fronts. When the vehicle arrived the outside was completely filthy. It was not detailed or cleaned AT ALL before delivery. How much work would it have been to run it through a $5 car wash before delivery? I had to run it through the car wash THREE times and there was still residual dust/dirt on multiple areas. The trunk has rust on it which was not shown online which I will need to deal with. There is residual glue/sticky material on the inside windows from where the front tint was removed (very poorly). The touch up paint they did on the front bumper over sprayed onto the grill (white paint on a black grill), I will just have to live with it but why even bother touching up paint if it cannot be done properly. Now the grill needs touch up work. All of these things I was willing to get over because I really liked the specific model/color/trim/options combo of this vehicle.

    The biggest disappointment though and what really made me lose faith, was after I had the vehicle inspected and they discovered leaking coolant (low coolant) and an oil leak from the camshaft of the engine. This was not disclosed on the WI buyers guide which is required by WI law. Upon reaching out to Carvana, they simply said to go get it fixed at a preferred repair facility. No apology, it's my problem now. I requested reimbursement for the inspection/diagnosis of the leak (roughly $350) which I think is quite reasonable for such a massive failure on their part. They were not interested in helping. Just kept repeating to go get it fixed myself. This was really a big slap in the face as a customer. So, I need to spend my own time/money to fix something they missed and were required by WI law to disclose to the consumer. The rep simply stated - we don't do repairs. Yeah, that's very clear based on the state of the vehicle that you do not do repairs.

    Now my vehicle is in for service for the next 1-2 weeks until the engine can be torn down to be fixed. On the plus side, my plates arrived quickly, although I don't have a car to put them on right now. The delivery rep was also very friendly and efficient, he was great. These small positives do not make up for the misses on Carvana's part. Its safe to say I will never purchase another vehicle from Carvana and will be telling everyone how poor of an experience this has been. I'm out two days of work and money to deal with something that never should've been my problem to fix in the first place.

    Don't make promises to consumers about inspections/certifications if you're going to fail so miserably on the execution. Just be honest about the product you are selling. The only reason I chose to keep this vehicle is because I found it nearly impossible to find the same color/trim/option package within a reasonable distance to me. I really hope this car will last me the next five years once it is repaired, right now I don't have much faith in it.

    I’m extremely frustrated with how this situation turned out. My application was denied due to a supposed lack of proof of income, which makes no sense since I provided my tax documents that clearly reflect exactly what I said I earn. Adding to my frustration, I paid $1,690 between the down payment and delivery fees, and now I have to wait 2 to 5 business days to get my money back—or so I was told over the phone. However, the email I received says it could take up to 15 business days, which is absolutely ridiculous. How can you charge me for something that wasn’t approved?

    On top of that, the customer service experience was unacceptable. Jasmin, the first assistant I spoke with, was quite rude. She claimed there was no manager available to speak to, couldn’t provide the store number she works for, and said there was no review department I could contact. She also told me she was going to cancel the application but didn’t follow through and hung up on me. I had to call back and speak to someone else to ensure the application was actually canceled. I gave buying a car online a chance, but after this experience, I’ll definitely never do it again. This entire process has been unprofessional, and I am deeply disappointed with the way I’ve been treated.

    The car had over 800 miles more than what was listed. The car had more damage than what was disclosed. All 4 wheels have very bad curb rash. Multiple dings/scratches on body.

Called 6-7 times and got nowhere. My only option was to return the car and lose the $1300 shipping cost. I was promised multiple call backs about my concerns and not once did that happen.

    The description of the vehicle could be better. I’m going through the repair service now because my vehicle arrived with dangerously low tread and cracking tires. How this gets through and not addressed prior to selling is beyond me. I can understand overlooked details or damage that’s harder to see. For example a bad wheel bearing that takes longer to diagnose and needs certain conditions to realize you have that problem but every single car has 4 tires and they’re big and noticeable and to not see GIANT cracks or very low tread is beyond me. Anyways I hope the repair processs goes smoother and you guys take care of me but for now it’s 2 stars 'cause delivery and purchasing was very easy and smooth.

    Not very impressed. I received my car which I do love but it was not thoroughly checked. Service light on day 1 and the day before I was taking it to get inspected, it had a dead battery. I kept getting the run around on what to do and then they eventually had to take my car for 48 hours because apparently, that’s how long the insurance claim takes to go through. Don’t get my inspection done now until Monday because it was in the shop for two days just to change a battery. Definitely disappointed because this should’ve been caught before I received the car.

    I'm sure this process is simple for those who finance through Carvana, but it was very frustrating to complete this process using my personal bank. I was penalized because Carvana employees failed to do their job in a timely manner and had to delay the purchase of my vehicle for another day, despite there being an ENTIRE business day to verify the check my credit union made to Carvana. Next, you need to update your website regarding the insurance requirement. Per your website under the Pennsylvania tab information, I would be required to have insurance on the vehicle I was purchasing, the DAY OF PURCHASE. However, you would not allow the appointment to remain scheduled until I had the insurance on the vehicle for FIVE DAYS PRIOR to me actually getting the vehicle! That is unacceptable and completely off-base from every other dealership in Pennsylvania.

    I think if you are conducting business in this state then you need to be aware how business is done. Another aspect to this disappointing experience was the fact that the "car vending machine" was "broken". That was the entire reason I had the vehicle sent there instead of having it conveniently shipped to my home. I went out of my way to come to your facility only to be told "it's broken" with no apologies made. I went through all of the frustration leading up to the purchase and then was deprived of my full Carvana experience, making the process, in my opinion, not worth it. My mother-in-law was considering purchasing through Carvana, but after hearing my experience, has decided to purchase elsewhere.

    We traded our car through Carvana. That process was fast and easy. The first car we had delivered had a lot more cosmetic damage than declared. Paint overspray all over the windshield and mirrors, peeling paint, rubber parts peeling up. They only showed “light scratches your finger nail can’t feel”. So we set up an exchange. This exchange was delayed 3 times. Twice the night before and once during the drop off window. Once was legitimate due to weather. The other two had no reason given. I was not allowed to pick it up even though they said it was at my local Carvana. If you aren’t in a hurry and don’t mind a lot of waiting and chatting with AI, it might not be bad. But, if you actually need the car… I’d pass. Not to mention, the car they sent was not the car pictured.

Once I had it they refused to exchange it. Their warranty is more like what warranty. What a joke and the funny thing is I tried to see what kind of deal they would give me to trade it back in. I paid 23,500 for my car.

    Their offer a month later to me was 10,000 to trade it in. But yet I paid $23,500. What a scam. Not to mention they lie about your interest as well. Mine was supposed to be 17% super high but they actually hit me with a 21% at signing and my credit score was 720. Do not get a car from them you will regret it. After confronting them with all these issues they refused to do anything to make it right. They literally said my problem. And refuse to even answer my BBB complaint.

    I'm visiting GA for a funeral. I flew out but thought it would be cheaper to drive back. I found my car, and there were two flaws mentioned. When I picked it up, there were other scratches. I didn't want to reject the car and decided to take it. I was driving and saw a 3-inch crack on the bottom of the windshield. I didn't see it because I had to leave. My appointment took about an hour, and my representative took about 45 minutes in the back. He said he needed to research additional information because the car was registered in another state.

    Carvana said I needed to mention the flaw at pick-up, but I didn't notice it, so now I have to go through my insurance to get it fixed. I also didn't like that the Carvana vending machine didn't have enough coins, so I didn't get a chance to keep one. Ordering the car was easy, but if I get another car or refer people to Carvana, I will tell them to thoroughly inspect it and ensure they aren't rushing to purchase a car.

    I traded my BMW 750LI to Carvana for a newer BMW 740i. Upon the arrival of the 740i it had 187 miles more than the online purchase agreement. It also had four dented rims which made for an extremely rough ride. The car was delivered to me in this condition after their 150 point inspection which I find impossible. I made contact with carvana regarding the damaged car and they informed me that they would not fix the car or make any adjustments and that I would have to file a claim under the warranty.

    Upon contacting the warranty I was informed that I would need to take the vehicle to one of their “in network” shops and they would decide if the damages were covered. They further informed me that car rims are considered cosmetic and they would only cover three rims if any coverage at all. I was informed that this could take up to 2 or 3 weeks if the repairs were made. I was informed that I would have to pay $750 dollars for a tow to the “in network “ shop due to the roadside assistance only covers up to $100. I would then be with no vehicle for an undetermined amount of time unless I rented a vehicle for myself and file a claim for possible reimbursement.

    Due to my having sold them my only vehicle and not able to afford their process I had to exchange the vehicle for another and could not cancel the entire purchase. This all happened in the 7 day exchange period. Starting the second day of delivery. I purchased a vehicle from Carvana in 2019 and it was one of the best car purchasing experiences I’ve had.

The person at the facility for pickup was nice but did not seem to be any help in getting an owners manual or the fact that there was only one decal for the 4x4. Also the infotainment system doesn’t connect Apple Play. The remote start feature on the vehicle was not working. An authorized key vendor for Carvana came out and tried 3 different brands new key remotes and the feature still would not work. That person said that the vehicle might not have that feature at all.

    I took the vehicle to Carvana’s authorized service provider and told them of all the issues I was having. At the end of it all the service provider just did a diagnostic scan and that was all. The items I had told them about, the remote start, the audio system, the non illumination of the climate control, was as if they didn’t look at it at all. The statement I got back from the service people was they only performed certain duties and if electrical, the vehicle had to be taken to another facility. Needless to say I was not satisfied with this at all.

    Going forward I will have to take the vehicle back to another repair provider for the electrical issues, leave the vehicle and so forth. This disrupts my work/sleep schedule since I work nights. Carvana claims to do a 150 point inspection on every vehicle. I feel the issues with the vehicle I chose were overlooked or found and not corrected. From the start of this purchase till now it’s been very aggravating and frustrating because I did not think I’d have to have the vehicle in a repair facility and eventually in another one that deals with electrical issues right after purchase.

    If I had known these issues existed I would have passed it up. The reason I didn’t return it during the 7 day return period was I was confident all the issues I had listed for the vehicle would be corrected. As of yet they have not been and once again I have to call Carvana to get another appt made for the electrical issues. The vehicle is now back at my residence with the issues and no one from Carvana has reached out to me to see if I was satisfied with the recent service visit.

    I just purchased a Honda 2021 Pass Port from Carvana, up until now, I would have had a 99% positive review to leave. It took me a couple of months to choose a car from them since I was buying online I wanted to be careful of what I chose. I was trading in my Jeep which I had for 7 years and was tired of getting it fixed. The representatives were wonderful working with me to choose the right car, everything was done more or less effortlessly. When the car arrived it wasn't what I expected but it was fine for now, I had planned to get a second car when I was done paying off this car. When the car arrived I was told by the person who delivered the car the back tire was low and I should contact Carvana about a new tire. I didn't think anything of it and put air in the tire. Since I had the car the tire would drop in PSI every now and then by 3 PSI but I'm thinking it's the cold weather or something.

    I finally had the time to take the car to Pep Boys to have the tire looked at and they told me I needed all-new tires. They started a claim and were told the tires were not covered. I called Carvana and explained this was not something listed as imperfections on the car otherwise I would have never bought the car, I just spent $1,000 getting the trade-in fixed on top of that I have to make car payments to them.

    The end result is because it's past the 30 days there is nothing they can do even though they never mentioned the car needing new tires and I would have never brought the car if it did. Now I have to drive the car in the snow with bad tires. I am praying I don't get into an accident. They could have at least offered to help me pay for the tires or something. I was telling everyone how buying a car online was not so bad I don't think I would recommend this method to anyone. I was going to get my daughter's car from Carvana but I think I will stick to a dealership. It's a car so whatever is wrong is not going to happen in just 30 days first of all the time frame should be longer.

    A great experience. My car is exactly what I hoped it would be. It was advertised on Carvana exactly how it looked when I picked it up. Definitely recommend a purchase from them!! It was so easy and there is no sitting around waiting when you pick up your vehicle.

    So the vehicle was extremely dirty. When it was delivered the outside was somewhat washed. However the interior was a mess, the driver's side fog light is out, damage to the front of the car on the lower passenger side that wasn’t listed on the website and didn’t see until the next day in the sunshine, texted the advocate or the automated message line and was basically told it’s my problem. This isn’t what I expected from a dealership.

    I think the process is smooth and easy but I had a water pump that had to be replaced $720 after less than 3 months of having the car and 4 wks had brakes and rotors replaced. It was a sound that I had noticed at about 2 wks after having the car. I hadn’t driven it much seeing that I work from home. They offer a car repair service SilverRock but I think they are a waste of money.

    There were many cosmetic issues that were not disclosed in the original listing, bolts missing in the engine bay, a rear sunroof that’s broken, deteriorating bump shocks, and other problems. While simple things like an inspection, and air filter+brake fluid changes were covered by Silver Rock, they make it VERY difficult to make claims and contact their team. The order and delivery process was very pleasant, but trying to get any issues addressed is a nightmare. All used vehicles are going to come with some issues, but the fact that most of them are not disclosed on the sale listing is very frustrating. I probably would not recommend Carvana to other people due to the difficult claims and repairs process, as well as the fact that most problems will not even be fixed.

    If you are sick of the dealership’s never ending games and scams, use Carvana. We closed the deal in less than an hour. We just provided our information and made a few choices and voila we had purchased our car. No pushy salespeople or “managers”(master con artists). Our car was delivered in 3 days by a very courteous person. Definitely our new way for the future!!

    Such an easy and non-stressful experience. Website easy to maneuver, everyone was helpful and friendly. Delivery occurred in the middle of a snowstorm too. Car is perfect. They even check in with you to make sure that you aren't having any issues. Will def be recommending to everyone I know.

    Updated on 03/01/2025: It took about 1 month from initially paying in full to finally getting my truck. Then, I was sent an email saying the title was being processed and to check my dashboard. The dashboard said I should have my plates in the mail by today. I do not. Never received the plates. So I called today and they said "It's a glitch, that's an automated email and the info isn't accurate. You need to go to the DMV." I should have just bought a car from a regular dealership. It would have been MUCH MUCH easier.

    Original: I have now paid Carvana in full 2X. I paid the first time 3 weeks ago, they took 6 days to return my money. I then paid again a week ago. I scheduled my pick up a week ago. They have now delayed my pick up at the very last minute. It's now 3 weeks with me not having a car. My family will now need to: 1) take time off from work to get the vehicle, 2) once again (the 4th time) change our insurance effective date, and 3) their customer service just says "too bad," as there's nothing that they can do to help. They've effectively had my money for about 3 weeks so I'm also losing interest.

    You pay a $1,290 shipping fee for them to not even get your vehicle to you when they promised, then they expect you to jump through hoops to get the car with a new pick up time. Just go to a regular car dealer, save yourself the time, money, and a lot of headaches. I could have used to vehicle 3 WEEKS AGO when I first paid in full. This wouldn't happen if you just went to a regular car dealer. Never again.

    Easy process. Ad for vehicle on Carvana was incorrect with false advertisement. Mileage advertised was 5400 miles. Well someone wasn’t smart enough to clear the last trip. The actual odometer showed 8000 miles. That was the first issue. Also ad stated car came with automatic start. Well after going to the dealership and spending lots of money, I finally have auto start features, but my original purchase did not come with auto start. Overall okay experience, but ad was false in multiple aspects.

    We had a seamless experience purchasing our 2023 Kia Sportage. The process was simple and the support from Carvana was great every step of the way. The only downside was when taking the vehicle to our mechanic, he discovered at the most recent oil change done by Carvana, the O ring was installed upside down/ oil spilling out and would have caused a future problem.

    I purchased a Subaru Forester through Carvana a little over 2 months ago. I’ve had to take the car in on 2 occasions to repair facilities already. The first time was for an oil leak - I wrote it off as a new technician not properly tightening the oil pan or screw; not a big deal. The 2nd time was for transmission issues. This is covered under my extended warranty (so far) so again, not a huge deal but irritating and inconvenient nonetheless.

    However, during my repair work on the transmission, I asked they complete a walk-through on the vehicle. They noticed the inside of my back left tire has exposed cords. I was informed the cords are exposed and without the damage on the other tires, this has been an issue for a decent amount of time indicating the car was sold to me in this condition. After contacting Carvana I was told this isn’t covered under my warranty and I’ll have to pay it out-of-pocket. My issue isn’t about the tires not being under warranty, it’s that they sold it while it was unsafe. THOROUGHLY check your car and maybe even take it in for an inspection within the first 7 days. This way you’ll be able to find any issues they decide to just let roll away off the lot.

    I'll start by describing the buying experience. Carvana was very easy to buy through, we paid cash which I think made it even more seamless. This is the second truck I have purchased from them. Again, buying and picking up was very easy and everyone was very polite. So the truck I bought had fogged up/dim headlights. Not a big deal, my son and I bought new assemblies and bulbs and put them in. What is troubling is when we removed the front grill, there was a HAMMER, down inside of it. This led me to investigate some more and it became apparent that the front end had been replaced and painted. nothing mentioned on the Carfax, and honestly now I am paranoid that I may have bought a vehicle that was wrecked, without being aware of it. Again, the buying experience was great, but I am disappointed that I wasn't made aware that the front end of this truck had been replaced for whatever reason.

    They are selling junk cars that they know are junk cars. They are selling Hyundai that have bad motors they know they have bad motors. If they truly did all the checking on cars that they say they do they would not selling any Hyundai.

    I would like to have had more familiarization with the vehicular controls. Other than, quick deliver and courteous service. Carvana has a very wide selection of vehicles at a decent price points. They have all makes and models. I enjoyed browsing through the Ford Edges presented and chose a 2018 with 48033 miles. Good luck in your searching. I think you will be pleased.

    This is my 1st experience purchasing a vehicle from Carvana. Found the truck I've always wanted (Toyota Tacoma). Placed my order and was told to be available on the scheduled delivery day. 2 hours prior (on delivery day) the delivery was postponed by 3 days. The entire time I felt like I was being scammed and to my surprise on delivery day my 2018 Toyota Tacoma was delivered. Upon delivery the delivery driver driver said to take it for a test drive and to look it over. Upon arrival I noticed the front rims of the vehicle had a heavy coat of brake dust on them. I also noticed the tires were dry rotten and during the test drive the truck shook when coming to a stop (I suspect bad brakes and warped rotors).

    After I returned back home I popped the hood and was greeted by a filthy engine compartment the battery terminals were very corroded, the power steering fluid was low, and to my surprise the coolant was WAY below the "low" fill line. I proceeded to the delivery driver who had stated that he would be noting everything I found wrong and that I should be receiving a phone call once he entered in the information. He said it might take a bit of time to receive the phone call being that it was a holiday weekend (in between Christmas and new years). 2 days went by and no phone call. The 3rd day I reached out to Silver rock and was told that I had to schedule an appointment with repair shop and that none of the issues were even reported on my account! Plus on top of it I only had a 7 day return window! It could possibly take weeks to even get an appointment with a mechanic.

    My wife reached out to carvana and was told they would add an extra 48 hours on top of the 7 day return period. Smh. I'm returning this vehicle and I'm very disappointed with this experience. I work hard for the money I make and I finally get to a point in my life that I can afford my dream truck and get letdown big time. I don't ever know how this vehicle passed inspection. Now the truck sits until carvana comes and picks it up on the 11th of January. Not a great way to start off the new year. Very disappointed.

    Everything about the process of selecting and purchasing the car was so simple. When we found the car we were looking for in our price range, we were a bit surprised. It seemed almost too good to be true. But it was too! The delivery was great. The driver was very informative and courteous. The car was exactly what we expected. We are very happy with the outcome.

    I have purchased two cars from Carvana and both came with issues. My first car is a 2019 Audi A3. The issue with my car was the tires. All 4 of my tires are bad really bad and I have tried so many times to talk to someone about my issue customer service number, nobody ever comes to the phone after pressing the correct option. My vehicle was delivered on May 19, 2024. My 2nd vehicle is a 2013 Mercedes same issue again. All tires are bad and the vehicle have no windshield wiper fluid. I only give 1 star because of those issues but the overall convenience of buying a car from them is definitely 5 stars

    The photo attached is for a car Carvana is selling for $17,400.00 dollars not including a $1,600.00 delivery fee. They will buy that car from you for $4,400.00. Sounds fair huh? Go head and be stupid and buy from Carvana. Just read the reviews where 27% of buyers got scammed. Will you be one of them?

    They made me a low ball offer which I accepted and then they just ghosted me and never replied to anything I sent them. Rude and unprofessional. I took the hassle of sending in all my ownership documents and they dropped the ball completely. At LEAST be honest and tell me you are no longer interested, don't give me an offer and then ghost me. Never got a receipt or anything from them after they made me an offer. My offer expired week later and now I have to go back through the whole process again if I want the same crappy offer. Disgusted. Good riddance. Now I see why the company struggles with bankruptcy.
