Did they get the title and registration done properly? Any issues with putting in all of that personal information online?

Does anyone know how they share your social security number if they actualy do? I noticed there were info sharing categories you could not opt out of unless you lived in California.

My wife's aunt bought a car from carvana and died from a stroke 8 months later.

Be careful out there.

When I was looking for a used car in Fall 2020, Carvana’s prices were about 10% higher than what I was able to find from dealership.

Ours went off without a hitch. Very, very simple.

I will however caution you this one thing....and this is probably not just specifically a carfax problem, just bad luck for us...

We bought a car from them in 2017 with a clean carfax. When we went to sell that car in 2019, there was an accident that showed up. The accident occurred in 2016, but wasn't reported until a couple months before we decided to sell. So, just because the carfax is clean, doesn't mean the car actually is. Getting it inspected by an independent person is always a good idea, but can obviously be tough logistically.

We got our current vehicle from Carvana.

Very easy and painless experience. Rate was a bit higher than I could have gotten at a dealership but we refinanced soon after.

FYI...Carvana's stock is in the shiter (it's at $26 today). CVNA was trading at 300+ just a year ago as it was considered a "tech" stock. But now investors have figured out that, well, losing > $2,000 per unit sold is not a good long term prospect.

Last month they laid off 2,500 people via a Zoom call.

Enjoy their experience while you can.

The only issues we had on one purchase was a two week delay on the shipping. We could have gone to Birmingham to pick it up but we just waited. No doubt, my search will begin there again on my next purchase.

If I never have to step foot on a dealership again I would pay extra.

I leveraged their online offer to buy my car and got $1500 more from the dealership on a trade.

I sold one to them. They offered about 4K more than any dealership trade-in. It was a painless process and I was leery going into it but Im glad i took a chance on them.

I had a very good experience using Carvana back in 2019. It was very easy to complete all of the necessary paperwork and delivery was on time. I will definitely consider using them for my next vehicle purchase.

After my father passed away I sold his vehicle to Carvana. Very simple and straight forward.
