I had been concerned about buying a car, sight unseen, and not knowing its history. However, I needed a car quickly, and once I started browsing the listings, I quickly found a number of very interesting possibilities within my price range.
All listings came with a car fax, and this in conjunction with the Carvana guarantee made me feel like buying online through Carvana was no different than buying a certified used car through a dealership.
I ended up picking an older (2010) but extremely low mileage car (67,000). I couldn't imagine finding a car like this in one of the local used car lots. It was delivered right to my work just two days later in like new condition. I took it for a test drive and it was love at first sight. I knew I had 7 days to decide if I wanted to keep it, but by day two, I knew I wasn't giving it up.
Overall, the Carvana experience has been so positive that I would not hesitate to get my next car this way or recommend it to a friend.
