Far from convenient or easy to buy online I tried to purchase a Sierra Denali from Carvana. I was approved thru my credit union at a lower rate than what Carvana offered and my credit union ma I tried to purchase a Sierra Denali from Carvana. I was approved thru my credit union at a lower rate than what Carvana offered and my credit union mailed me my check. Carvana sold the vehicle while I was processing my purchase and I ended up buying another truck locally at a dealer. On Black Friday I tried to give them another chance and tried to purchase a Volkswagen Jetta Sportwagen for my son. I filled out all the bank info with a $2000 deposit and the balance $12000 would come from my credit union. I signed all the paperwork online and scheduled a delivery date for 2 weeks later. 3 days after my online purchase, I kept getting texts stating that I would lose the $1000 Black Friday discount if they didn't have a copy of my check from the credit union sent over to them by 8pm that evening. I had already provided Carvana with my credit union information, account, as well as authorized them to verify my fund for both the deposit and the balance. They stated some bogus "guideline in underwriting," that this wasn't enough. So I said no problem, in the morning, we can get on a 3 way call and speak to both my bank and my credit union and they can provide verification. They said unfortunately, the price would go up $1000 if this was the case as there was an expiration date on the black Friday discount. I even offered, a screen shot of my credit union account, showing my loan was already funded via a check and my first payment was due in January, but they still said this was not acceptable. It seems they make it hard for you to complete a transaction with a discount and wanted to revert back to a no discount transaction stating there was not enough time to verify funds (really? I didn't set up delivery for 2 weeks exactly because I knew it would take time for my credit union to mail me a check). Their customer service rep Ally escalated the conversation to TJ her "manager" who was very smug and thought that when he strutted his "manager" title I would be impressed. I explained that I was buying from Carvana for the "convenience and hassle free process they claim to have" but yet will not hold a car even with a $2000 deposit for more than 24 hours unless you finance though them and since you are using a "3rd party" credit union (that has much lower rates than them for folks with great credit), their guidelines were different. To me it was simply a bait and switch, "buy at this price one day but the price will change a few days later after they had extracted all your personal financial information. Never again. I requested they cancel my order. Their prices are the same as car dealerships and as much as some folks think dealerships are tough to deal with, Carvana employs people who know nothing about customer service. There is no advantage in buying from them than from a dealership. In fact I would much rather deal with real people whom I can evaluate if they are trustworthy and be able to choose to do business with them or not. The fact that they are an internet dealership only empowers them to hide in anonymity when they try to treat you unscrupulously. Do yourself a favor buy your next vehicle the old fashioned way, find someone who you can meet in person and trust. Buying a car are stressful to some, Carvana will only make you more stressful and offer no advantage in pricing or service. If this is how you are treated when you are trying to buy a vehicle from them, imagine what will happen if there is a problem with your car/truck! Poor service in the beginning will translate to worse service when you need it. I hope you read all the other negative reviews on Yelp and other rating sites and see Carvana for what it really is.

Selling to Carvana: super easy and no-hassle! This is a review of my SELLING experience to Carvana. I listed my car on Craigslist and was approached by an outsider buyer named Jan. She introdu This is a review of my SELLING experience to Carvana. I listed my car on Craigslist and was approached by an outsider buyer named Jan. She introduced me to Carvana, which I never heard of before, and it's process. She was very helpful and walked me through the process. The first deciding factor for selling to them was that they offered me the best price (vs. CarMax, Auto Nation, Trur Car). Then I realized the process was super streamlined. All I had to do was upload my documents and, after approval, schedule an appointment for the pickup of my car. Carvana sent a truck to COME TO ME to pick up the car. The driver (Lauren?) was very courteous and pleasant to work with, too. The pickup process, which included a one-mile test drive, took no longer than 20-30 minutes. Immediately after loading my car to their truck, I was handed the check, which I immediately deposited without any issues. My selling experience from being contacted by buyer to getting the check took just 10 days! (Would've been even faster if I was more timely with uploading my docs.) I'd highly recommend Carvana for selling your cars! More

Carvana online process needs some work I build online systems like this for a living, so apologies for the detailed analysis. Overall, I think this is a great idea, the car as (finally) de I build online systems like this for a living, so apologies for the detailed analysis. Overall, I think this is a great idea, the car as (finally) delivered is great. I am hesitant to recommend Carvana to anyone else until these communications and IT default issues are corrected. 1) I requested a three year loan. Twice, the purchase agreement had to be changed and resigned based on issues at the seller end. Both times, the new agreement defaulted back to a six year loan. The reps did not catch it, and had I not been careful, the change would not have been caught. 2) I initially worked with a rep and signed my agreement, and set up a delivery date. Two days later I noticed an email that said the agreement was not signed (Carvana had made a change without my knowledge) and I had 24 hours to sign again or the car would be re-listed. Glad I saw the email. The new agreement had the problem #1 above. I had to have the rep change the agreement, go in, re-sign, and set up a new delivery date because the last one was no longer valid. Some inconvenience. 3) A few days before the delivery, I got another email reminding me of what had to be ready at delivery. I re-checked my agreement on line and found it had again been changed without my knowledge, and without communication I believe, and had to be re-accomplished. Glad I figured that out. The new agreement had the issue #1 above. Glad I found that. 4) When initially discussing additional warranty options, I was offered primary (?) coverage to 60000 miles. I accepted that, but later, on my own, discovered that it was only good for 36 months of purchase. In my case, the car already has another 13000 miles of manufacturers warranty left, and given how much it will be driven, that would only provide a year extra. Not worth it to me, so I removed it. Make sure the reps discuss both mileage AND length of warranty to customers. 5) The car came without a users manual. When I inquired about that, I was provided with a link to an online manual that apparently cannot be downloaded or printed (?). I was offered a reimbursement from Carvana for the cost of ordering a paper manual. More
