I don't even know where to begin... I cannot say enough good things about Carvana! This is going to be a very honest review about my experience. We'll start by saying I have awful credit. About a year ago my transmission on my 2010 Nissan Rouge broke and it was more to fix it than the car was worth, and I was already upside down on it to begin with. I called the bank and told them I am not paying for the car anymore and to come and take it away. I honestly didn't think getting financed again down the road would be as difficult as it was, but now I had a repossession on my record.
I knew I wanted a Toyota Camry (preferable red with a sunroof, but given my situation I couldn't be picky.) I went to CarMax... they wanted $6,000 down (which is ridiculous. Who can afford that?) and a 27% interest rate....I went to two major dealerships... denied. I went to a Used Car Lot, which I refer to as Chicken Coops.... denied. I was emotionally defeated and about to give up. And then I found Carvana.
I created an account...approved in seconds. I honestly didn't believe it because I've been shot down so many times, so I called the 800 # and the "Customer Advocate" was extremely friendly and bubbly to announce my pre-approval. I was ecstatic. Not only was I approved for one car... I was approved for anything on their website. Amazing! I knew my interest would be high, but it wasn't nearly as high as CarMax. After shopping for a couple days I found my dream car: a 2013 Toyota Camry SE RED, WITH A SUN ROOF, 25k original miles for $15k. Carvana wanted $2, 500 down as a down payment, which is completely acceptable. It looked amazing online, but so does anything you buy online... I ordered the car, picked it up yesterday at the Vending Machine in Atlanta (because I wanted the full experience) and the car is even better than I had imagined. I was in and out in 10 minutes. This has been an amazing experience and I will recommended Carvana to anyone and their dog!
I am writing this review so people who may have found a stumbling block in their life like I did, Carvana looks past that and helps you out. No pressure, no gimmicks, all with a 100 day bumped-to-bumper warranty on the car. I even got a goody bag, a $25 VISA gift card and a full tank of gas! Talk about customer service!
Thank you to everyone at Carvana who made this car buy experience incredible!!!
