We have to admit that the convenience of buying a car through Carvana is most impressive. The risk factors of buying a vehicle without trying it are somewhat reduced. Carvana gives you seven days after delivery to try the vehicle. If you are not happy then you can return it. There are a lot of tools that you can use on the Carvana site to help you figure out what your payments will be for your financing.
One of the important issues when buying a used car is whether the vehicle has ever been in an accident. Carvana claims they go through a three part process to determine this. One is asking the vehicle owner. Second is an Experian check and also a Carfax check if asked for. Then it is followed up with the 150 point inspection of Carvana.Keep in mind that there can be some inaccuracies with some of these reports. However, this applies to anywhere that you are buying a used car from.
Final Carvana Review
Overall Carvana has a decent overall rating, although there are not tons of reviews to rely on. The complaints that were present varied in it being about customer service, delivery return and one that had to do with registration issues. Overall it appears that Carvana makes every attempt to rectify any issues quickly. Based on all of this we are prepared to give Carvana a thumbs up. However, this is based on you being a responsible car buyer, and doing your own due diligence.
Our Recommendation
If you are looking for another option for car buying outside of the traditional ways then take a look at Vehix.
Anyone who is just to stupid and lazy to actually leave your home and look at the car in person is just to ignorant for me to believe. If you are this person then you deserve to be cheated in the transaction. What a sad and lazy place this country has become.
