I bought a Porsche Boxster from Carvana and it was a great experience. The associates or customer advocates were friendly, helpful and customer service oriented. The online paperwork process was super efficient.
I chose to pick the vehicle up from Carvana's facility as the home delivery would've taken a few extra days. The following day I took the car to the local Porsche dealer to have the car inspected and make sure that it was mechanically sound. The car checked out with flying colors except for the tires; the technician noted that the two rear tires had chunks of rubber missing from them and the tires needed to be replaced.
I then took the car to my local tire dealer who theorized that the tires had been damaged as a result of the brakes having been locked up. The bottom line was that the tires had to be replaced. I emailed Carvana (with copies of the inspection report) to let them know that I was disappointed that their team had overlooked the damaged tires and that dampened my enthusiasm for what had otherwise been a very pleasant experience.
I didn't really expect a response from Carvana, but to my surprise and happiness, they apologized that their team either overlooked the tire damage or that the tires may have been damaged at some point transporting the vehicle and that they would reimburse me for the cost of replacing those two tires. I am not sure how many other dealers would've stood behind their vehicle like Carvana did and I whole-heartedly recommend Carvana to anyone seeking a quality pre-owned vehicle!
