We’ll be looking for a new vehicle sometime this year. Wondering if anyone has ever used Carvana? Seems to get good reviews from what I can see but would be interested in opinions from those that have used it.
I almost sold my truck through them.
Their quote was a couple thousand higher.
I have since decided to buy stock in the company.
They are trying to do a couple things differently.
1. Avoid the hassle of spending hours in a car dealership being sold on their limited selection of on the lot vehicles.
2. Simplify the whole process so people don't hate buying cars so much.
3. Actually offer a very fair price on your trade in (if it's a recent model year).
I think one of their goals is to have nationwide inventory in lower quantities and without the traditional overhead of large car lots in every city. The vending machine provides a smaller footprint, but also obviously works as a big marketing factor.
Reviews are largely very positive. Some people think that due to their process of making it easier and less painful, people might decide to trade cars more frequently because they aren't getting murdered on their trade ins as frequently.
Can you get a better deal somewhere else? Yes, if you want to waste time going dealer to dealer.
Will you save more than a grand? Probably unlikely.
