Carvana

I purchased a 2014 Corvette from Carvana in May 2025. Within the 7-day return period, an independent shop inspection noted signs of water intrusion along with other imperfections (dash worse than adverti Within the 7-day return period, an independent shop inspection noted signs of water intrusion along with other imperfections (dash worse than advertised, slightly leaking shocks, etc.). I was willing to live with those issues because the car was a rare find and some were common for this model year. The water intrusion did not appear severe, and I replaced the windshield at my own expense believing that resolved it. Unfortunately, additional problems appeared soon after: interior trim pieces coming loose, audio system sounding faulty, and the transmission intermittently popping out of first and second gear. Then, a heavy rain revealed the water leak was still significant despite the windshield replacement. By that point, the 7-day return period had expired. Carvana refused to take responsibility and referred me to their warranty partner, SilverRock. SilverRock only directed me to small local shops unqualified to work on a high-performance car, and a dealer told me SilverRock would almost certainly deny any claims related to water intrusion or leaks. When I tried to escalate for a buyback, I got nothing but runaround: repeated transfers, promises of follow-up that never came, and no resolution. Eventually, my only option was to sell the car back to Carvana at a steep loss. Not only did I lose over $10,000 in less than 3 months, Carvana even reduced their final offer by $500 for “cosmetic flaws” that were present when they originally sold me the vehicle. I did not feel it was right to sell the car to an individual buyer knowing it had undisclosed water damage, but I felt less bad returning it to Carvana since they sold it to me this way. Carvana advertises peace of mind and rigorous inspections. Instead, they sold me a car with undisclosed water damage, denied responsibility, and forced me to absorb a massive financial loss. More

Just wanted to share how terrible carvana is. I found and confirmed pickup for a vehicle, they confirmed the appointment and everything was fine. They then wanted me to fund the purchase and I ha I found and confirmed pickup for a vehicle, they confirmed the appointment and everything was fine. They then wanted me to fund the purchase and I haven’t even seen the vehicle lol. Who does that? They must really be desperate. Needless to say they missed two deals due to their failing business practices. In speaking with my financial institution the told me not to sign anything until I see the vehicle in person. Buyer beware. More

I purchased a vehicle through Carvana, and my delivery has already been delayed without any clear explanation. I reached out to customer support, but I’ve only been told to “wait,” with no offer of a disc has already been delayed without any clear explanation. I reached out to customer support, but I’ve only been told to “wait,” with no offer of a discount or compensation for the inconvenience. This has been very frustrating for what’s supposed to be a simple process. If Carvana resolves this promptly, I’ll be happy to update my review—but right now, I can’t recommend them More

I recently placed an order for the vehicle listed below: (Can't link this), and my order was cancelled. After re-placing the order, it was declined again with the only explanation being that the documen (Can't link this), and my order was cancelled. After re-placing the order, it was declined again with the only explanation being that the documents I provided could not be verified. Earlier today, I spoke with an “Underwriter” to discuss how I could apply my payment, as I was planning to wire the funds. Instead, I was informed that I would need to provide a cashier’s check. During that call, I also disclosed that I intended to purchase the vehicle using my Trust account, but was told that Carvana policies do not allow this. I then made it clear that I was fully prepared to provide a cashier’s check drawn from my personal checking account. Despite this, I was not given the opportunity to meet the payment requirements before the original deadline, and my order was cancelled outright. When I attempted to call back, I was met with an automated message stating that the cancellation was final, with no option to speak with a representative. This process has been extremely frustrating. I feel that I have wasted significant time and incurred unnecessary expenses (such as shipping fees) without being given a fair opportunity to resolve the issue. More

On 6/24/2025 I received a 2018 Volkswagen Passat 2. 0T Sedan that I purchased the previous week on Carvanas website. The vehicle was in the shop since 6/30. The odometer didn't even say the correct mile 0T Sedan that I purchased the previous week on Carvanas website. The vehicle was in the shop since 6/30. The odometer didn't even say the correct mileage when the car was delivered. On 6/25 I called Carvana to report that there is a knocking noise in the front of the car and I'd like to get it looked at. Carvana advised me to take it to the dealer. On Thursday I went to the VW mechanic in Watertown, MA. They advised me that they did not have a loaner and if I bring it in the following day (Friday) they would probably have it all weekend, so they advised I bring it in first thing Monday morning. At this time the car would officially be out of the on the 7th day, no questions asked return policy. However, I knew there was an issue on day 2. That means this car did not pass the guaranteed 150 point inspection. When I called carvana they instructed me to call silver rock to arrange the repairs. Once the car was at the dealer they were informed of a brake issue. Upon hearing this they told me I would be responsible for the brake pads. I immediately reached out to carvana to discuss this stating this is how they gave the car to me and it's absurd that I would be expected to cover anything. The next week when I went to pick up the car I was informed that although they had completed the brakes they were waiting on silver rock to confirm whether or not they would be approving removal of the transmission because there was an issue with the axle and transmission and they couldn't figure it out until they remove the transmission. I decided at that point that since they put my safety at risk with bad brakes and a transmission issue it would be in my best interests to return the car. I've been paying for insurance on the car because at some point I'd have to pick it up for the return and legally myself and the mechanic wouldn't be able to drive/park it without insurance. But I have not driven the car since day 6. $270 for insurance and the second payment has been made because they haven't picked up the car. Multiple returns were scheduled. The first 2 times were cancelled because silver rock had not paid the mechanic therefore if I were to pick it up I would have been responsible for the costs. Then they scheduled 2 subsequent returns without contacting me. The money and inconvenience have taken a toll on me and my wallet. I am unable to even think about purchasing another car until I get the financial aspect of this disaster resolved because they have not dissolved the loan and they say they can't until the car is in their possession. 6/22 I retrieve the vehicle from Boston Volkswagen, however I was charged $234. I immediately get on the phone with carvana and they conference in silver rock. No one seems to know why I paid. Now I have to print and submit a reimbursement form. They will review within 5 days, then they will issue a checks within 10-14 days so those are more funds tied up. Carvana scheduled a pick-up without my knowledge. When carvana arrived to pick up the vehicle they asked me to sign paperwork stating that I've received a refund (I haven't), that I would waive damages, shipping fee, taxes and registration. I only drove the car for 6 days, and when I spoke to Joey initially he said that I would be getting a full refund. After putting my safety at risk, taking time off of work, as well as the financial stream and stress they refused to take the car back. DO NOT RECOMMEND Carvana! More

Review Title: Extremely Disappointed – Still Waiting for Refund We returned our vehicle to Carvana within their 7-day window on July 3, 2025.

The driver gave us a refund check for $6,690.18, but it was invalid — no routing or account number. We were told by our Carvana advocate that the correct check would be overnighted and arrive by July 9. As of July 11, we still haven’t received anything. We’ve called multiple times and were told to wait until our scheduled call on July 13. Today we spoke to a lead named Jasmine who admitted the check was never even reissued, and now they claim it won’t be issued until July 15. Carvana needs to take responsibility and follow through on their promises. More

It hurts me to write this because I once had a good experience with Carvana. But when a drunk driver blew through a red light and totaled my vehicle, I tried purchasing from Carvana again. The insuranc experience with Carvana. But when a drunk driver blew through a red light and totaled my vehicle, I tried purchasing from Carvana again. The insurance company totaled the vehicle, issued a payment to Carvana and I had gap insurance that covered the remainder of the loan. Carvana insisted that it never got the gap payment and said I would have to pay the thousands left over after the original insurance payment before I could buy another vehicle from them. Sorry, but I don't have thousands of dollars just lying around after a down payment to pay that off and for Carvana to issue a refund whenever it decides to admit that it got the gap money. I've argued for hours with multiple "customer service" people about it, trying to get the hold released from my new purchase, but to no avail. As a result, I've canceled the purchase and I won't go back to Carvana again. More

Carvana cancelled my order without telling me. I had completed all the paperwork and had my bank send them a check so they had the money in hand. They said I didn't meet the deadline, but I have t I had completed all the paperwork and had my bank send them a check so they had the money in hand. They said I didn't meet the deadline, but I have the FedEx tracking number to prove that the deadline was met. Then they told me that the car that was supposed to be delivered today is no longer available. If you don't finance with them at 10% interest, they make it very difficult. DO NOT RECOMMEND. More

I purchased a vehicle through Carvana. They delivered it in the pouring rain. The next day, once the car had dried off, I noticed that the car was filthy, there were a few scratches, and They delivered it in the pouring rain. The next day, once the car had dried off, I noticed that the car was filthy, there were a few scratches, and 3 of the 4 wheels were badly scuffed. None of this was disclosed on their website. I contacted them about the cosmetic issues on the wheels to which they instructed me to contact SilverRock (Warranty company) who would get it all sorted out for me. I went through the process of contacting SilverRock. This is not something that I felt like doing with a new to me car. After 10 days, I hadn't heard anything and contacted SilverRock once again. They said my claim was denied due to the issues being cosmetic (what??) and said Carvana needs to take care of it as they sold the car like this. I contacted Carvana who said there was nothing they could do because I was outside of my 7 day window. I have spent a ton of time between Carvana and SilverRock who are just pointing back and forth at each other, and I am screwed as the consumer. This is the second and absolute last car I will ever purchase from Carvana. I would highly recommend staying away from purchasing a vehicle from Carvana or a warranty from SilverRock. Neither company will stand behind their product and neither will support you as the customer. More
