re: Buying pre-owned vehicle online (Carvana, Vroom, etc) - OT experiences? Good and bad

We bought our last two vehicles on Carvana. Interest rates are higher than a dealer, but you can use your own financing or refinance pretty quickly.

Process has been easy. The first one was a fantastic car. We traded in, this one seems to be not as good mechanically, but it is as advertised. I think we just hit a HR of a deal on the first vehicle.

There’s no haggling, they handle all registration, pick up, drop off, etc.

Like I said, higher rate in house but you can refinance. If you’re a car salesman, yes I’d much rather pay a higher interest rate initially than do that fricking song and dance and spend all day at the dealership watching your colleague continuously strike out on deals and eye frick 4s.
