I bought a 2015 camaro LS a little over a week ago, and the carvana experience was definitely different. In most ways much better than buying at a dealership. I despise dealing with salesmen that lie to your face. I like to work on my vehicles due to poor service that I have received from "professionals". I like to do research on all of the vehicles I buy, but it is
hard to adequately assess a vehicle through pictures and Carfax alone. Carfax only has reported information, so if a vehicle has a minor collision and an insurance company is not involved, it will not be reported on Carfax. It would be nice to have pictures of under the vehicle to assess for corrosion and damage. My camaro was a lease return from New York state. As soon as it was delivered, I jacked the car up and found what I was looking for; corrosion on the exhaust system. For those of you that don't know, anti-icing compounds used on roads up north are highly corrosive to exposed metal, and heat accelerates corrosion. All of the exhaust brackets on the car are corroded to the point that they need tip be replaced. Again, I was expecting this. If I was at a dealership, I would use this as a bargaining chip to lower the price of the car. With carvana, there isn't any negotiations. I still believe that I received a good deal on the car though, and I would recommend carvana in the future. I also wanted to take this moment to thank the staff who helped me through the process.
