So, I'm looking to buy a fun car for myself. I have a specific make and model so I begin to hunt for it. I visit some local used car places, but selection is slim and sales pitches are plentiful. I look to the web to expand my buying choices in hopes of finding my little car. All the dot coms I could think of, Ebay, Cars, Autotrader etc... Then I searched on Craigslist and found a car close enough to what I was looking for so I investigated further. I read that it is being sold buy Carvana, so I go straight to the Carvana website and start to poke around.
Sure enough there is the car I had seen on Craigslist along with several other very awesome choices. I had a field day picking out my new little fun car. Then it hit me, I am buying a car sight unseen over the web. I could just see my grandfather's face telling me I am crazy. Or that the car was someone else' lemon that would become some sort of money pit.
Like most, I started to research this Carvan car dealer. I searched the internet for complaints, read several reviews of prior purchases. I even purchased my own VIN check. All looked good so I jumped in.The process was as easy as described on the website. Finance rate was better than any other offers out there. Carvana even beat the CarMax estimate by $500 bucks.
The new car was under manufactures warranty which was a big plus! I figured with the 7 day 100 mile test period and no off putting record history on the car I was pretty much covered if i felt the deal was not for me. I couldn't be happier with the car.
Like some I did have to wait on my new tags. I elected to surrender an old vanity plate for a new one which added to the turn time. It was no big deal as the temp tag the Carvana associate placed on my new car was much better than a taped piece of paper stuck to the bumper. The temp was an embossed state seal temp tag that adhered to a nice Carvana logo plate. I was not worried in the least that the new tag would not arrive and sure enough, 2 weeks after the second temp tag was delivered my permanent plate did arrive. I now have an awesome car that I definitely could not have found locally. It is quite cool to have a one of a kind car in the neighborhood. I would absolutely do it again.
The saddest thing about the process of buying a car on the internet is that it find of ruins it for anything else that gets delivered after.
