Simply put, Carvana is a better way to buy a car. You can browse, finance, and purchase a car online and have it delivered to you as soon as the next day. Cutting out the dealerships translates to thousands of dollars in lower costs on every vehicle we sell. We pass these savings on to consumers in four ways: lower prices (our customers save $1,430 on average per purchase), premium cars, a better experience, and no hidden fees.

Disappointing customer support

I was attempting to purchase a car I have been looking for and started the process to purchase and to get my trade in car evaluated. It was hours until they responded and the car I wanted to purchase was gone by the time they replied. I had cash and was ready to make a purchase, very frustrating customer support.

As far as buying cars the offers are…

As far as buying cars the offers are pretty good but I was going to trade my wife’s 2020 Lexus in for an older model and the price was 26k. Without even giving my SS they come up with an 18.5% APR that would have me paying a total of 47+k for a 26k car. I have 2 other vehicles I’m paying on now one with a 7.2% and the other with 8.15% APR at these rates I would never buy a car from them.

Hi Chase, thank you for your feedback. We understand your concerns about the APR offered. While we strive to provide competitive rates, our APR is influenced by several factors, including credit history and vehicle details. For trade-ins, we base our offers on features, mileage, and market value. We value your input and are committed to enhancing your experience. Thank you again for your time.

I don’t think selling a car can be any easier. It took less than 10 minutes once I arrived at my appointment. The prior paperwork was signed online and was very easy to do. My money was deposited in my bank the very next day. Overall a great experience.

Indifference glad it’s over

The company wasn’t great but good, here’s the following reasons/issues:
1) Although I accepted the offer, dealers and car companies like you all, the $$$ always in the favor of car companies not the customers
2) 99% of customers are taking a loss of $4000-$5000 when they sell their car
3) The Proof: whenever carvana resell or sell a car you they reapply the $$$$ this purchase of the car, put a bad taste in your mouth
4) I was expecting my car to be picked up and towed away by carvana on the same day not by an unknown third party company sometimes the following day bad business/experience - although it was your car
5) Please tell the customers upfront there’s an cost for transportation not in the middle of trying to sell a car
, customers should not eat that cost
6) I was very low balled with my truck which I’ve decided to keep it

Great experience start to finish

The experience from start to finish was excellent. I started online by inputting all my vehicle information. They provided a price that was very reasonable and several easy/clear next steps in advance of the appointment. The appointment was smooth as the Carvana representative was punctual, knowledgeable, polite. The entire process took 20 minutes and I received a text on uber ride back confirming the submission of their electronic payment for the agreed upon price. Wonderful experience from start to finish, thank you Carvana.

Great experience with Carvana!!

My experience with Carvana was better and smoother than expected. Everything was clearly explained and easy to understand. The offer for the car was considerably higher than any other offer. Isiah was very pleasant to deal with when he picked up the car. I would definitely recommend Carvana.

If I could put negative stars i would

If I could put negative stars i would. Total waste of time. Made offer reduced offer. Had to make my 80 year old parents sign my phone again. Even though she had iPad, but could do nothing and was useless. The info on website and in person are totally different. The car would not start a second time so she back out of deal.what a total waste of time¡!!!!!!!

Easy and fast process.

The process was a lot easier than expected. I love that I was able to get someone to come pick up my car. It took maybe 15 minutes at most for them to look over the car, make sure there was no mechanical issues and they offered me the full amount that was estimated when I filled out the questionnaire. I got paid the very next day.

Great Experience all around

This was the easiest sale I believe I have ever had. Went online and answered a couple questions and got the offer. Offer was competitive and online paperwork was quick and easy. They came and picked up the car, and I thought that this would be where they slow down, but I was pleasantly surprised. The gentleman who came was early, professional and took care of his car review while I finished a business call. Once that was done, he loaded it up and sent payment. All together, he was here 15-30 minutes, no surprises and really smooth. Just a great, great experience.

Easy As 1,2,3

Selling my vehicle to Carvana was an easy process. Everything was done online. I took the vehicle to the nearest location for turn-in. They did a quick inspection and my funds were in my account the same day. Once I arrived with the vehicle, the process took about 15 minutes. Easiest thing I think I have ever done.

Dead simple way to sell your vehicle

Dead simple way to sell your vehicle. The offer I received could not me matched buy local dealers for trade-in. The process was simple. The inspection and delivery as well as scheduling were all care-free.

Hassle-free experience

Loved the hassle-free, simplified platform-based step-by-step process. When one of the steps required additional detail, a customer service rep guided step by step over the phone. After the car was picked up, the payment was deposited into the account within just a few hours, instead of a day.
