I was looking at Carvana a while back, maybe 3 months ago. I decided to open my search and found my '11 2SS convertible w/ 5k miles up in Cleveland for a lot less than Carvana was advertising. The car had been for sale for a while and with cold weather coming up they were pricing it just right and became too tempting to let go. Did the deal via phone/mail and then on a Saturday I woke up at 3:30AM, flew up, drove back 750 miles and was in bed at 10:30PM. Thank you Southwest miles!!
Now I bought an '11 Corvette GS w/ only 5k miles from Carvana in 2019 and got a great deal. They seemed to have their manual transmissions set at a lower price point and I was really happy with the way the whole transaction went - it was in better shape then what they showed on line. Got my title in a few weeks and everything worked out great. (Keeping the Corvette - thought it needed a new sister so bought the Camaro! I had sold my '10 2LT 7 years ago.)
That said, Carvana's finances do not look good right now. They'll probably be in chapter 11 within the next 3 to 6 months unless they get some refi done. Between that & their reputation for holding paperwork way too long has started to hurt them badly. I really recommended them after buying the Corvette but can't do that now.
