I selected my Subaru a month ago with about a 5 day delivery time of Jan 2. On Dec 30 I received an email from my local rep (Taylor) that my car was in town but he felt that there were some undisclosed issues with the engine and body and did not feel comfortable delivering it like that. On Jan 2 (the next working day) I went and looked at the car and agreed that it sounded a bit wonky. Taylor gave me options... We can send the car to our people to be fixed, I could take the car and have it fixed myself and Carvana would pay for it, I could choose a different car, or I could walk away. I chose to have Carvana fix the car. After more than a week (I was out of town) I contacted Taylor about the repairs and to my dismay the car was still not fixed, "sent back twice untouched by the Carvana repair team", and he had made an appointment with a local dealer to have it looked at. After 3 more days of waiting and a single day at the local dealer there was a problem identified and corrected. There is still same undisclosed body work that needs to be corrected that Carvana is supposed to pay for. I have taken ownership of the car and will get the bodywork completed as soon as the check arrives. I want to applaud the customer service team, especially Taylor, for the attention put into making sure we are getting the best used car possible at the lowest price. However, I feel more attention needs to be given on the front end with the 360 photos and the initial 150 point inspection conducted.
