I am a second time Carvana customer, and have always valued my experience with them, the cars they stand behind and their customer service. Unfortunately, this second experience has been horrific and I valued my experience with them, the cars they stand behind and their customer service. Unfortunately, this second experience has been horrific and I will not be sending my normal referrals to them or ever utilize for any future vehicle purchases. It started with : 1. CSR rep Emily in PHX let me know I had two $500 checks coming as a previous customer and referral program I qualified for. I was excited to hear one $500 check would be put towards my overall car price, and the other one would be overnighted immediately so that I could use it towards my down payment. This was on a recorded line, on the telephone. 2. Turns out 4 days later and I had not received a check I called to check in and find out what was going on. I was then informed by a CSR UW that I would not be getting one of my $500 checks because they no longer do referral promotions. I would still be receiving $500 off my rate of the car though, so I requested to speak to management to understand why my delivery date was also postponed with no email notifying me, and why they promised their customers money off but font follow through. It took 4 DAYS to receive a call back, and if I missed the managers calls at all, I would then have to wait to be added to the que again. She apologized and offered to sending me a $250 inconvenience fee(which I never received) and to fix the delivery times and make sure the $500 stayed off the asking price. I accepted this solution, was excited for my car and thanked her for at least trying to help me fix this. 3. I received my car, and it was beautiful. Day 2 my check engine light came on for overheating and it had to be immediately sent to a shop out of town about 30 mins away. They took my car as a trade in, so I no longer had a vehicle to drive with for almost a week. Extremely inconvenient. At this point I was upset but still patient because I had faith this was the end of it. 4. Because the 7 day "preview" window for the car had been used up being at the car shop, Carvana wanted me to accept the car that next day or give it back. They gave me NO time to actually drive it and I felt very uneasy with accepting a vehicle that had a check engine light of a thermostat problem(causing overheating). I put in a ticket to speak to management, and it took 2 business day for some one to respond (Brian foster PHX). He apologized, offered to send the $250 check again because I never received it and gave me 5 additional days to test drive my car and make sure nothing else was wrong with it. He then proceeded to tell me the $500 amount was not put on the price of the car but would be sent via check overnighted to me instead. I was frustrated, but still accepted his resolution in continued chance to not give up on Carvana. Unfortunately we are on month #1 and I have yet to receive any check from Carvana, my car has had minor issues, and i have no response from any management, or tickets to speak to management. My registration has now been pushed out to January 2022 before i can get my plates back, and its left me a horrible taste in my mouth about this company. I will be contacting the news sources within the state, all social media and business review outlets to hopefully share my experience and get you to understand their business practices have changed and it absolutely isn't worth it. Broken promises, faulty cars and pushed back delivery or registration dates. Don't believe me, google the reviews and I'm not the only one. Please do NOT buy from this company, they are absolutely inconsistent with their products and responses. I have recorded phones calls, and email correspondence of these events! FIX THIS CARVANA More
Honestly, I was unsure about the process going into my purchase, but I couldn't be more happy with the results and the customer service from Carvana. They helped me through any confusion and all of my len purchase, but I couldn't be more happy with the results and the customer service from Carvana. They helped me through any confusion and all of my lengthy questions I had about my trade in value and the purchase process. There was one mishap with my order cancelling due to not uploading my insurance, (even though I did) but it was properly taken care of and my car was still delivered, on time, the day I had originally scheduled for. Love the car & love the service. 10/10 would recommend. More
I truly enjoyed my car buying experience through Carvana. It was easy, no hassle and my car is exactly what the website pictured it to be. I will probably never again waste a day trying to buy a car in a tra It was easy, no hassle and my car is exactly what the website pictured it to be.

The process on reserving my car was effortless, receiving it was my issue. I was contacted the day of delivery to tell me that it was damaged in transport and that it would be about two weeks to fix. Ok, no it was my issue. I was contacted the day of delivery to tell me that it was damaged in transport and that it would be about two weeks to fix. Ok, no big deal - I get things happen. Two weeks came and went and it still was not in my possession (mind you I’ve been paying my car insurance for this car at this point - and it was a complete hassle to get credited for the month the car was not in my possession. So I never saw that money back). Finally, after a month the car arrived and you could imagine I was excited, just to find there was a dent in the hood that was never addressed prior or even mentioned on the site. The delivery driver said “oh it’s not that noticeable” - umm I noticed it, IN THE DARK. At that point I didn’t even fight it because we needed this extra car, but to say I’m bummed is an understatement and now I see it every-time I walk by it. Maybe it was just me and I had a fluke experience but I just imagined it going better than it did. More
Carvana makes it "easy" for people with less than perfect credit to purchase a newer vehicle. However they aren't 💯 up front with their information. Examples I experienced at being told I'd have to have $80 credit to purchase a newer vehicle. However they aren't 💯 up front with their information. Examples I experienced at being told I'd have to have $800 down, but on the day of delivery I was told that number was $1,600. Additionally I have a permanent Tennessee license plate, which normally can be transferred the same day. However Carvana took over 10 months to do so, and in fact ended up registering it with a standard license plate that I then had to come out of pocket to take back to the county clerk to transfer to my original permanent plate and I was unable to obtain a refund for the tags Carvana used. Additionally, during those 10 months, Carvana repeatedly sent me temp tags from three different states, Tennessee, Kentucky and Ohio. On two of those out of state temporary tags that expired, Carvana told me to put them back on the vehicle as the state of Ohio wasn't enforcing tickets for expired temporary registrations. I had to demand that I be sent new Tennessee temporary tags and registrations, then come out of pocket to have those temp tags laminated in order to protect them. On multiple occasions, I was told the Toyota 4Runner they sold me didn't have a cleared title at the time of sale, though this wasn't disclosed to me until after 45 days when the first temporary registration expired. There's definitely some shady business practices within the Carvana company. Use caution. More
Cars are trash. Beware they are very nice and move quickly to get you in. silver Rock warranty doesn’t cover much and will find a a way to not pay for it. I put over $8,000 on a car and 2 months in al quickly to get you in. silver Rock warranty doesn’t cover much and will find a a way to not pay for it. I put over $8,000 on a car and 2 months in all 4 tires needed replacement and rear brakes and rotors. Total of over $2000. They give you 4,000 mi after that they won’t fix anything. They did reimburse my tires, but will not reimburse my brakes. I’ve literally made 2 car payments and spent more money in repairs. It’s criminal. More
The purchase was easy, but receiving the car was a different story. The car came 4 days late, so I had to cancel then re-instate the insurance twice. When the car came, it had newly made scratches and different story. The car came 4 days late, so I had to cancel then re-instate the insurance twice. When the car came, it had newly made scratches and mechanical issues, there were burn marks and ashes on the ceiling-interior, and it smelled strongly of cigarette smoke and DOG!! The back area had a thick, sticky substance all over the trunk. The vehicle was not cleaned on the interior nor was it checked prior to delivery. To get the car repaired, I am only able to go to a Tire Mechanic (makes no sense) AND must take time out to get scratches and engine repaired at two different repair shops. Customer Service was HORRIBLE. More
