    I got a co-worker who bought a car from Carvana for years ago. Other than the usual regular maintenance, tire and brake replacement, he's had no issues with his Chevy Cruz. From his experience he also said it was a easy process. Much better than going to a dealership.

    Thank you for your interview! Hopefully it all goes well. My husband and I just bought a 2022 Honda HR-V Sport with no down payment and only $290 for delivery! Our experience has been very amazing! A few things we will like to let people know if you are a customer from California. When you buy a car and if you have Progessive Insurance the Carvanna fine print says you have to wait 14 days until car insurance is considered insured. My husband and I have progressive so we have to choose 14 day later delivery so we won't encounter problems. Othere than that we are very happy. If you are looking to buy a car right now in 2023, Carvana has lots of cars with no down-payment. Some even no down-payment and no delivery fee. You can always put that on your search filter. Our monthly payment will $470 a month at a 10% APR. That is very cheap compare to dealerships. We both have good credit yet we where paying 28% in APR with our first dealer car 2013 hyundai sonata hybrid. It stopped working after 2 years! Car dealer never again!

    Pretty impressive that you had a good experience despite never having gone through the hell of dealing with car salesmen. Have you ever had to go to a sprint store or similar for your smartphone? Had to sit for a few hours after your appointment time, deal with horrible staff, etc? Imagine doing that for a good six hours for a $30k purchase with the whole experience designed to wear you down and get you to agree to pay numerous bullshit fees to add thousands more to the cost. If you've never experienced that and still had a good experience, I feel really good about my appointment to pick up a car later this week from a Carvana machine.

    Thank you for the video! I bought a truck from Carvana back in 2017. I paid it off, received my title, and traded it in for a newer crossover. They gave me the best price on my trade-in. I have always enjoyed working with Carvana. That being said, I am waiting for my tags for the newer vehicle...praying there are no issues.
  • @Truthsayer11
    I have experience purchasing a car from Carvana about 3 years ago where the registration process went rather smoothly. I still drive that car today.
  • @King73102
    My mom financed a 2011 Toyota Sienna but when she got the van it needed some mechanical work done to it but Carvana covered it. Had a hectic time the first couple of weeks but it's running smooth now
  • @lamishaforever2703
    Thank for a very clear straight to the point and very informative review.
  • @bunker2555
    I just bought a 2020 Hyundai Veloster n. With only 9k miles and it was just as represented in the photos. Even the (scratches) where easily buffed out. It was even better in person! It was one of the easiest car purchase I have ever had. The registration was smooth and came in FedEx express before the 30 day tag expired. The car was still under warranty and price was very fair. Only $190 for shipping at a vending machine. I even traded a car in and got an extra credit for trading. I would even consider buying from carvana again if they do survive. Hope your experience is a good one as mine was.
  • @thegamept2
    Thank you for the video! I'm also shopping for a car and been looking at Carvana to purchase a car. Thanks for the info
  • Thank you so much for this video. I am considering Carvana and needed a thorough review so I could understand the process better. Looking on their site I am definitely intrigued especially the carfax report!!! Just sending you thanks for your thanks!!! I appreciate that you did a POS review and felt it important to share, very helpful.
  • @M68BI
    Great informative video. It must of been one of the greatest feelings watching yr car come down the auto elevator. Id like to wish you the very best luck with the car
  • @letsgodance54
    I really appreciate this detailed review of your positive experience purchasing through Carvana! I'm having a car delivered from them on Friday, and throughout the process, I had a lot of the same worries as you did, especially with all of the negative reviews that are out there. Personally, I've had a good experience so far and it is relieving to see that someone else has too.
  • @tlsimonsson
    Great Video Review ♥Thanks so much for sharing your experience.
  • @ravipeiris4388
    Appreciate your balanced insights. One pet peeve of mine is purchasing a vehicle and the dealership doesn't have a full tank of gas.
  • @animelover61736
    Thanks for your review! I have a 2022 Hyundai Venue Limited Sport to pick up on Tuesday. Hoping for the best
  • Thanks for sharing your experience. I am just about to purchase my car from carvana, financed through them. The price is good and they indicated some light scratches ahead of time that I am ok with. My one gripe is no coupons or discounts or negotiation and I love the back and forth and fight for a better deal. Maybe it’s my disagreeable nature being extroverted and more sales focused in general (watch Dr Peterson’s personality lecture series 2017, it will change your life). I am almost 90 percent there. It’s also a 3 hour drive from me too. My other concern is the plus warranty. In my area there are only a few shops on the silverrock map. A Firestone and a Mr Tire. Obviously you can see where I’m going. What if the car needs more major work under warranty. What do they do then? They told me they offer other free options to waive a deductible but I am just being cautious. The car looks good and has 57k miles. I’m about half through your video so I’ll keep watching. Still debating and thanks for sharing your experience.

    I have been looking at Carvana past few days. I did find a few cars I like, One that I wanted back in 2013, so I am not sure yet.. I do have a buddy from work who used Carvavna.. said his worse thing was getting it delivered to our place of work.. Thanks for the review
  • @Stu-f592
    I bought a 2017 equinox, awesome car! I paid outright, and it did take 2 months to get registration and title, so there was some time I could not drive it.
  • @JR-pr8jb
    At various unfortunate times in my life, I've sold new and used cars at 3 major dealerships. As a buyer, I will do anything to avoid going through the dealership hassle.
