Do they drop off the vehicle to test drive & inspect?


Yes, I bought from Carvana and had a great experience. They rolled up to my house with my new car on a flatbed, took it off the trailer and said I could drive it around for a bit while the worker filled out paper work. Took it around for a spin and he said I have 8 days to call them to return it if I changed my mind.

After I signed the paper work and gave him the check, I drove straight to a mechanic for a 150-point inspection. He said the car was in great shape. I've owned that car for 3 years now with no issues, but glad to know I could have returned it in that 8 day window.

Back to the original topic, for the car I was looking at, Carvana's prices were actually cheaper than the local dealerships. In fact I even tried to get the dealership to price match so I could buy through them and they wouldn't do it. I'm glad they didn't because the Carvana process was so easy. I would definitely buy from them again without hesitation.

Interesting.

I wonder if things have changed over the 3 year period and Carvana is now in a position to demand a higher price. Or maybe it’s just a deal to deal thing.

Carvana doesn’t sell new cars.
